Product review (1 stars): duet sport mildew problem
Do not buy this washer or any whirlpool product. This washer has a mold problem that is so widely recognized that products are being developed and sold to treat it. Whirlpool denies it is a problem. I've had mine 3 years and I live in San Diego, a very dry climate. About 6 months ago I noticed the laundry smelled bad. I checked the washer and it was the source. Water is trapped in several parts of the washer after a cycle is finished, and it of course causes mold regardless of what you do to try to eliminate it. I really liked the machine until this came up, but after looking online I realized this is an extensive problem caused by a serious design flaw, and the company will not stand by their product. Please do not buy Whirlpool products of any kind or you are contributing to shoddy design practices and condoning bad consumer relations. If you are still not convinced just google whirlpool duet mildew problems. Thanks for reading this.
