Product review (1 stars): Whirlpool 8300 duet sport washer
I purchased this washer in Jan and it was delivered 22 Jan 10.  On 19 Feb 10 gallons of water came rushing out from the front of the machine into my washroom, kitchen and into my finished basement. Luckily I was home. Dealer indicated they had some issues with small leaks but had never seen water coming out at this rate.  They replaced the front panel -  I wanted a new washer - that did not happen.  On 10 Apr 10 I could not get washer to work - kept flashing codes.  Dealer replaced a control -  I asked for a new machine  -  but was denied.  19 Jun 10  water  came out of the front of the machine again - luckily I was home.  Dealer wants to fix it and Whirlpool indicated the same.  Dealer repairman came out and ran a cycle and it did not leak for him - I guess they think I am making this up. But I did take a picture of the front of the machine and floor to show the water.  I paid $700 for this piece of crap and neither the dealer nor Whirlpool will agree to replace it.  You buy a new applicant and your expectation is that you will not have problems with it for several years. My problems started in less than 30 days.  This experience does not give me a warm and fuzzy about the next 10 year life span of the washer.  Whirlpool svc said as long as the machine is working they will not replace it.  I asked the customer rep if he would like to have it in his house so he can clean up the water and have his home soaked.  I am afraid to use the delay wash feature in fear I will have a flood again. All Whirlpool wants to do is extend my warranty another 6 months.  Bull!  I am so upset I do not know where to turn.  I feel I got a lemon and the dealer nor Whirlpool will do what I believe is the rightful thing to do and replace the machine.
