Product review (1 stars): Zero stars--money pit of repairs...
We've had it for four years, it has already had one major problem with its electrical system which cost several hundred dollars to fix, and another (the latest) where basically the machine has to be completely overhauled (bearings, basket, seal, everything)--well over $1,000. And the metal on the wash machine lid rusted, for unknown reasons. This was all on top of the high cost of the machine itself, which I guess garners it one of the most expensive, crummy washing machines you could buy anywhere... We will not be repairing it this time and instead cutting our losses and buying another (different) machine NOT made by Whirlpool.

Whirlpool has received thousands of complaints from customers with these same problems, according to our research (easy to find) and our (various) repairmen. Shame on you, Whirlpool, for not recalling this product and instead, choosing to stick it to your customers with huge repair bills for your lousy service and product.

We'll do our part by refusing to grow Whirlpool's corporate earnings and NOT supporting their company and we will tell friends, family, and anyone who is in the market for electronics to go (in fact, run) elsewhere. Sad, angry, and embarrassed that an American company would come to this. Very low.
