Product review (1 stars): Whirlpool Duet 9610 Laundry Suite
The Whirlpool washer tub bearings got noisy after 1 1/2 years and need to be replaced. It is sold as an assembly (the bearing is factory pressed onto the hub) and the assembly costs just under $1000.00 for parts alone and requires two people to install at est 2 hours time. When we purchased the pair it came with a 2 year warranty, we were lucky on this repair anyway. It works great and is quiet, hope it
holds up after the repair. I have read of others having the same problem. I would
NOT purchase this brand without an extended or home type warantty. Too many people
having problems with expensive repairs.
