Product review (1 stars): Front Door Leaks, Again!
I owned several Whirlpool washers in the past.  All 3 ended with machine breaking down, leaking, door not closing.  Ironically, they all happened shortly after the 1 year warranty expires.  It was almost as if Whirlpool quality engineers designed the system to fail after 1 year, so they could sell newer machines.

This unit was no different.  It started leaking exactly 2 days after 1 year anniversary.  Water leaked from the front door, which also happened to my previous Whirlpool front loader washer.  Calling Maytag (number on Whirlpool production manual, so I assume Maytag bought Whirlpool) on the weekend will get you a generic "office is closed" message.  Wait time to get a technician visit is about 4 weeks.  It would take another month or two for them to order repair parts.  If the repair did not fix the problem, you just spent $400+ with a still broken machine.

Search for "Whirlpool Duet Door Leak" on Google, and read some of the other customers experience.  Then make your decision if you want to buy a Whirlpool washer.

I am willing to give LG a try on the next washer purchase.
