Product review (1 stars): Terrible washer
I bought a Whirlpool LHW0050PQ washer three years ago.  Recently it began to act strangely.  First the spin wouldn't work occasionally.  Then it was all the time.  Then the rinse cycle wouldn't fill, only drain.  Then the wash cycle would fill but not agitate.  These were cumulative problems.  None of them ever resolved.  Now it has stopped working at all.  I called the repair number and they actually responded fairly quickly.  But the guy they sent didn't have a clue.  He said he THOUGHT I needed a part that would cost over $500.  But he wouldn't know if that would fix it until I bought it and he installed it.  I said I would think about it and called a local repair guy.  He agreed that I probably needed that part but suggested that a new washer would be cheaper.  Said he has had a lot of customers with similar prolems.  So he is delivering a basic top loader that has a very reliable record.  The Whirlpool is junk, pure and simple.  It worked pretty well when it worked, but for the price it shouldn't die in three years.
