Product review (2 stars): Not what I thought....
I bought this machine because it came as a recommended buy in Consumer Reports.  It is now 3 months later and I am receiving F51 error messages.  My wash cycle stops in the middle of a wash and starts beeping and then I have to run to the machine to turn it off.  I then have to run another "drain and rinse" cycle for it to finish.  I bought a 5 year warranty so I am calling for repair, but it is too soon for this to be happening.  Furthermore, I am researching this error code on the internet and am learning through blogs that this is a very common problem and Whirlpool has not taken responsibility for it.
