Product review (1 stars): Spinning Cicle
I bought the Whirlpool Washer three years ago and have been pretty much satisfied.  However, the clothe really never gets washed good and it takes two or three rinse cycles to get the soap out.  My complaint is the part that stops the spinning cycle when opening the lid, is the cheapest I have ever seen.  I spoke to other people who own a Whirlpool washer and they have had the same problem.  This past Sunday, the water would not pump out of the machine, no matter what cycle I used.  My neighbor came over and told me he had the same problem and had to override the part.  Now, the machine will spin whether the lid is  open or closed, which can be a hazard if you open the lid while the load is spinning.  My husband went to Lowes, where we had bought the machine, and the salesman just gave him a little smile, sort of, like I know you have a problem, but had no idea how to fix it.

I will not buy another Whirlpool unless that particular part is made to last.
