Product review (1 stars): Don't buy this washer!!!!!
I don't know how Whirlpool can get away with producing a product that is this terrible. I had my Whirlpool Duet set for 11 years and had no issues until last week when it gave out. I had luck with them so I decided to buy another Whirlpool.  Worst mistake ever. We have had the washer and dryer set for 12 hours now and it has taken over seven hours to do one load of laundry.  Issues are:
There is a horrible grinding noise and smell, squealing and squeaking, it shuts off mid-cycle, it doesn't play an end-cycle signal, it doesn't spin the clothes out so then the clothes are full of water, it filled up full and sat there not doing anything, then it shut off again, full of water. The fabric softener didn't dispense, it's still in the tray.  There is no spin cycle so that you can just spin off the excess water.  You have to do a rinse and spin which just adds more water to the already full tub.

I am returning this set tomorrow, but I am back to square one without a washer and dryer. Thanks, Whirlpool
