Product review (1 stars): Whirlpool 3.8cu ft Duet Steam front load washer & dryer
In reading other reviews on Whirlpool washers & dryers regarding poor performance, I agree 100%.  It's because of the  lack of water which contributes to the clothes knotting, lengthy cycles, lock up on the front loader door with error codes and finally at 10 months the bearings failed. Additionally a hot water wash is only available on the heavy or bulky cycle.

The dryer is unpredictable and can take up to 3 hours to get the clothes dry.  It also doesn't have enough draw on the venting over 15 feet and clogs with lint.  We have cleaned the line twice in less than a year which is no easy task. If the clothes are not removed promptly from the dryer they get damp because the steam does not escape.

The second issue is extermely poor service - no show on a scheduled appointment as well as no record of the appointment and the lack of concern over the urgency to have the machine repaired once the parts arrived.  Finally the machine was picked up by repair and they still have it 3 weeks later and I'm the bad, ungrateful person because they went to the trouble of bring it to their shop. I'm out $150 in laundry expense and want it back fixed.

Don't buy a Whirlpool washer and dryer!
