Product review (1 stars): Washer hose failed
We owned this washer for about 15 months.  I noticed water coming out of the front detergent bin, down the front of the machine.  After service came -- the plastic hose simply failed.  They only come in a full package & with the install it would be $489 to repair a 1 ft section of plastic hose.  Tried using the washer with the leak - but it will not agitate or wash clothes, fills and drains.

I called whirlpool not believing they would not cover the part and customer service told me it could be due to the environment and condition we use the washer, but not a cheap plastic part.

Will never buy a whirlpool again.
