Product review (1 stars): Believe all the negative reviews
If I could give this washer zero stars, I would.  Believe all of the negative reviews about this washer.  I have had this washer for two and a half years and have problems since the day we started using it.  We have replaced the seal twice.  You must use a laundry bag for socks, undergarments and small children's clothes or they will get stuck in the drain line which requires a service call to repair. The warranty is garbage.  We were required to use a repair company that could not schedule us for days and then could not figure out the problem.  After paying for the same repairs out of my pocket for two years, I am throwing in the towel and getting a new one.  It sure won't be another Whirlpool.
