Product review (1 stars): Not Happy With Whirlpool
I purchased a Cabrio WTW5500XW0 a year and 2 months ago.  It is 2 months out of warranty and stopped working.  We had a repair technician (not from whirlpool) come out to look at it and he said the damage was caused by a factory defect.  This particular model is known for having a loose nut on the drive pulley.  Apparently this is a known issue, but whirlpool will not own up to it.  I called whirlpool to see if they would cover the cost of repairs but since I didn't buy an extended warranty they will not.  They also said they have no known issues with this model.  The technician showed me the whirlpool documentation of this known problem.  I will never buy another whirlpool product again.
