Product review (1 stars): Discontinued spider assembly
This product lasted for 5 years, without any issue.  Just last week it started to vibrate badly during a spin cycle.  The spider assembly behind the drum had corroded and broke.  Whirlpool discontinued the spare part that cost $60.  Instead they now sell the spider assembly with the drum for $250.  Mechanical things break, that's understandable, but discontinuing parts after 5 years show that Whirlpool sells disposable appliances.  I hate that philosophy and now dislike their entire brand.
