Whirlpool Washing Machines Reviews

I bought a Whirlpool Duet sport front loading washing machine on 1-4-09 from Lowe's. It ran fine for one week and then we had to stop it in the middle of a rinse cycle and leave our house. When we came back, the machine will not start. The lights are all lit up, but when you push the start button, it shuts itself off. I called Whirlpool customer service and they advised us to unplug it for 20 minutes. Then they told us they couldn't get a repairman out until next Tuesday, but we could call ourselves and maybe get one sooner from a local repair place! The service tech I called will be at my house today to perform an autopsy on the machine. If Whirlpool monitors these complaints, be advised that I dropped $600 on this machine and you get one chance to make it right, or you get it back!

After reading all the complaints, I couldn't believe what I was hearing because I have gone through exactly the same thing: moldy, smelly washing machine, leaks. When I bought the top of the line with the matching $ tag, I didn't expect to get the bottom of the barrel. I have a matching duet laundry pair. The washer has given me problems from the start. Now suddenly, the dryer quit. I had the repairman out and the motor is fried. I'm lucky it didn't burn down my house with the stink it let out before it quit! And the dryer is only 3 years old. I will never buy Whirlpool again!

I have a Whirlpool Duet Washer that has black on the rubber gasket around the door and smells like mold and the stench is terrible. The clothes washed in it smell like mold too. I called in 2002 soon after buying the washer to Whirlpool to report the mold smell. The rep I spoke with was rude to me in tone and attitude, telling me that there was nothing to be done about the problem except that I should wash and dry my (new expensive) washer and leave the door opened. I called back hoping to get a hold of someone who could help me with this problem. I had no success and was only upset by all the people I spoke with to the point that I had a bad headache. I had just spent over $1,000.00 and was very upset and felt depressed because we had spent so much money and were offered no alternative from Whirlpool.

We purchased a Whirlpool Ultimate Care II top-load washing machine on December 30, 2006. As we were doing laundry two years and one day later, the machine stopped working properly. It will not spin during the spin cycle and makes a huge, obnoxious noise. The Whirlpool will not help, but offered a 15% discount on another Whirlpool appliance. I will not purchase another Whirlpool appliance. I expect expensive appliances to be more reliable and last more than two years and one day!

I registered my complaint as on 23/12/08 and still no one has attended on such claim. Earlier, I have also surveyed your service center at Patna and got a very bad experience there. Whole details are mentioned here: My washing machine has been out of order due to rat cut but to date, it is in warranty period. So I registered my complaint to your Muzaffarpur service center and someone came to my home place i.e., Riga ** and inspected the machine and took RS.300/-. He told my father that he will be back within 15-20 days with accessories and do what needed to be done. But even though we did a lot of reminder, he did not come. After 1-2 months, he suggested to send it to my service center in Muzaffarpur. Muzaffarpur is not convenient for me, so I told him to return my deposit i.e., Rs.300/- (without any receipt). He refused to do so.

I purchased a front load Whirlpool washer and dryer from Leon's in July 2008. The salesman assured me this was the best washer and dryer on the market. Twenty three days after they delivered the set, the washer locked the door during the cycle and locked all my clothes inside. We were not able to get them out. I called Leon's and they directed me to call Whirlpool, so I did. They then tried to get a service technician, but that was not going to happen for close to a month before anyone could be available to come look at it. I was extremely mad since I had a house fire and purchased all of my furniture at Leon's. I told them they would replace it or they could come get their $20,000,00 of furniture sitting in my house. They did bring me another.

We purchased a Whirlpool Duet set - 2003 from ABC Warehouse. They have come out several times on the washer, saying oh too many clothes, not enough, wrong soap, it was always something. Then yesterday when I was using the washer, it started making so much noise I was scared to shut it off. The washer is not under extended warranty any more. My husband took the washer apart and the back of the tub has pop metal on the back. It has broken all apart. It has damaged the tub the front and the back holder of the tub. The only thing that is not damage is the frame of the washer. I called Whirlpool this morning twice. They gave me a song and dance. I am upset this washer has been a lemon since we got it!!! We had metal, plastic all over!!!

We purchased the Calypso washer about 1 1/2 years ago and had to have a repairman out today to only tell it was going to cost $500 to repair. It needs a u-joint, a pump and a few other things. When I contacted the 800 number for Sears she told me my warranty had expired, and when they tried to troubleshoot it they told me they could not tell me too much since my warranty was expired. I do not think a washer should only work for 1 1/2 years. It should have lasted at 5 years for the money you pay.

My Whirlpool washing machine is exactly 2 years old. I noticed that it is already rusting in places that do not come in contact with anything, including cleaning liquids. It doesn't make any sense. I have had other Whirlpool products in the past and was always happy with them. I am very disappointed. I paid over $500 for this at Lowe's Home Center.

We purchased a Whirlpool duet set in 2007. Just one year later the drum broke loose in the washer and we had to replace the unit. I was told by a repairman that he had never seen such damage and it would cost more to repair it than to replace it. We decided this time to buy a Maytag because of the reputation for dependability. We made a mistake buying from Best Buy. Please don't make the same mistake. The first machine delivered was broken from the start and the delivery man filled out an order for a replacement. The second machine delivered the delivery men didn't level it so it broke. We had purchased a warranty so we had no problem getting a service request.

I bought Whirlpool Calypso Washer & Dryer in Oct 2002 . At that time, consumer reports ranked it one of the topmost. I started having problems within a year but as it was covered under one year warranty, I kind of compromised and later I got extended warranty for three years. On & off I got it repaired. Now it's becoming nuisance to use this washer. I have error code on display Ld. The technician has no solution for it. I am doing everything he has recommended like use vinegar in all cycles (without clothes) and using the detergent. Some days I can do washing without setting & resetting cycle but some days cannot finish single load.

I purchased a Whirlpool washer from sears on May of 2005. At the end of the first year, 1 week before the 1 year warranty expired the water pump went out. It was replaced at no charge. Now, 2 years later, it has gone bad again. Upon realizing it would cost around $300 to repair it because the pump is not part of the 2-5 year limited warranty, I come to find out that it was already known a year before I bought it that these washers were bad. Now I'm stuck trying to find something else because I see no point in replacing an item that will go bad approximately every 2 years.

We bought a Whirlpool Front Loader Washer Dryer Duet and hooked it up on 8/14/08. Since we hooked it up, the washer has not washed our clothes, they come out stained and smelly still. 2 different service companies have come out to look at it, and per WP, since the washer has 2 inches of water in it and the inside turns around, that the washer works. I have called Whirlpool many times, and was told that only parts and labor covered, and that 2 service companies have deemed it in working order, and WP refuses to cover anything else.

We have a Cabrio Washer & Dryer purchased in August 2007. Recently the washer starting leaking onto the floor. The American service technician advised that there are three service flashes for this washer. I had not been notified of these issues by Whirlpool or by American. American replaced the following parts: Electronic Control W10201186 Tub Ring W10130807 Impeller W10141017. Technician also advised that many consumers have complained about twisted, knotted articles after washing. Apparently, these three parts should resolve the issues that we've experienced. I'm remaining optimistic.

My husband and I have a Whirlpool Duet HT and have noticed over the past year how our towels and cloths started to smell moldy when they became wet. Eventually even leaving the door open of the washer open (which should NOT HAVE TO BE DONE!) Our washer now has a horrible sewer type odor when we have not washed our laundry in a couple of days.

The Whirlpool Cabrio washing maching should be recalled. It's a good thing I purchased the 2 year extended warrenty. The service dept. has already replaced he tub, hub, tpo due to rust, along to their hocus pocus to stop the loud noise when the washer goes from rinse to spin. My clothes come out smelling worse then they did going in. They are so twisted, even though they are no iron you still have to iron them.

My wife and I have a Whirlpool Duet HT and have noticed over the past year how our towels and cloths started to smell moldy when they became wet. Eventually even leaving the door open of the washer open (which should NOT HAVE TO BE DONE!) Our washer now has a horrible sewer type odor when we have not washed our laundry in a couple of days. After finally doing some research on-line, I was shocked to see the number of consumers that have experienced the same very thing.

I purchased a Whirlpool duet front loading automatic washer Model GHW9100LWI on 7/16/03. I am having a problem with mold on the inside gray seal.The mold will not come off even though I try to keep the seal dry and clean. Their is of course a musty smell associated with the seal. I never had the washer serviced, I just dealt with it because I did not know their was any other option.

I have purchased a washing machine from kens at kottayam on 2008 july.It had got a complaint before 2 months,then i informed the company several times &after that one of them came and checked the machine& asked to give Rs.1500 to correct it,since this is the guarantee period we are not ready to give the money.after that we called them several time but no response.So,please take any necessary steps as soon as possible.

This duet washer had a paddle come out of the tub. When this happens it leaves some sharp edges exposed from the attachment points for the paddle. When I examined the paddle that came out I noticed a place for a screw that never had one installed. After a little research I found out Whirlpool does not install these screws in the paddles. They just snap them in with the clips in the drum.

In 2002 I purchased a Whirpool Calypso washing machine. I liked that it was a top loader because at the time I was having some low back difficulties and didn't want to do a lot of bending to get clothes in and out of the washer. Almost immediately, I noticed that the washer would slide around the laundry room during use. I called Sears and then someone out who said the machine was perfectly level and nothing was wrong. I was told it should settle eventually.

My Whirlpool Duet washing machine has a terrible odor and I have to leave the door open all the time just to get some fresh air inside so my clothes don't smell mildewy. Now the machine is flashing an FH and stops working midway thru the cycle... I love the concept of this machine but it has not been the best operating machine!

I have just spent over an hour reading complaints very similar to mine about the Whirlpool Cabrio washer (top load) and dryer. My husband surprised me with this VERY EXPENSIVE set after my 22 year old Kenmore washer stopped working. At first I was very excited because I could wash such big loads. When I noticed that my clothes were not that clean and clean towels smelled bad, I used the clean only cycle with bleach and reduced the amount of clothes in the loads. This did not help and the towels, wash cloths and dish towels still smell musty when you re-wet them. It is so annoying to step out of the shower and bring a dirty smelling towel to your face.

Duet Fron Load washer control boards went out 2 weeks after warranty ended. They agreed to pay for parts, but not service, provided by A&E. It has now been 6 weeks and 3 appointments and washer is still not running (When delivered, flow meter went out and had to be repaired)

I put one complain regarding problem in my washing machine dryer on 5th Aug and after that i am calling on daily basis for the service engineer visit, but inspite of assurane of costumer executive i have not received any responce of my complain aven after 10-12 calls.

I bought a Calypso washer 4 years ago adn have not gotten the same code LD or long drain that I read another consumer complain about. I had a repairman ( from the company recommended by whirlpool) to coem out adn he said it was the pump. It would cost $322 to fix with parts and labor.

I purchased a Whirlpool Washer and Gas Dryer in November 2006 from Best Buy(Henrietta NY). From the beginning, when using the dryer (Model# WGD5530FQ0), on occasion a piece of clothing would come out with a spot or twisted up. I noticed the clothing was getting stuck on the plastic rim at the front of the dryer opening. Where as it only happened on occasion, I just ffigured it was a design flaw. I never encountered this problem with my prior Whirlpool dryer.

I bought a whirlpool calypso washer and dryer 4 yrs ago. We noticed increase in problems, such as the whole house almost shook and made loud noises when on the spin cycle, and several of my good white pieces of clothing have been ruined by black streaks thru them after the wash cycle.

I bought a whirlpool calypso washer and dryer 4 yrs ago. We noticed increase in problems, such as the whole house almost shook and made loud noises when on the spin cycle, and several of my good white pieces of clothing have been ruined by black streaks thru them after the wash cycle. Our repair man has replaced shock absorbers and ujoint and has done everything the whirlpool tech has suggested and the problem is worse.

my top load cabrio washer explode. it could kill me. the machine also damaged the dryer next to it. i am looking for a lawyer to help. i was told that the washer is called oasis in sears.

Have replaced pump after malfunction with flooding error code and no spin. error code is FL. Now having to replace the entire machine due to the same malfunction. Don't want to deal with this problem any longer . Have replaced the circuit board 3 times. This product was very costly to purchase and even more costly to maintain.

I purchased a WFW9200SQ Duet HE Washer from Lowes on 3/07. I was offered a 2,3 or 4 year extended warranty but based on previous outstanding history of longetivity with Whirlpool products, I declined. After no issues with my washer for a year and 3 months, I experienced an F11 code. It would power on, start up, fill with water than stop. After calling out A&E for $65 service call, I was told I needed a new controller which would cost me around $800 after labor when I purchased my new washer for around $1000.

Purchased a Calypso/Whirlpool washing machine in 12/05 along with a 5 year warranty from Brandsmart. They told me the machine was great when I purchased it. I have had nothing but problems. Brandsmart has offered for me to buy different machine at cost. The warranty co. keeps on replacing parts, but is not able to do anything else. The machine will be deemed unrepairable when replacement parts are no longer available. Have read about various class action lawsuits regarding this machine. Someone should take responsibility.

I bought this washer Feb. 2007. I used it 3 months, moved and placed unit into a spare room at a relatives house for storage till I needed it again. Two months ago I started using The washer and dryer again. I made sure since I paid 2400.00 for the washer/dryer set to make sure I stored it in a well controlled climate room.

I purchased the Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer from Sears in 2004 and have had nothing but problems with the set. The dryer does not dry in one cycle as it should and has to be restarted again and again. The washer, within the 2nd year of owning it, had to have the entire guts replaced. Now I am having the problem with mold and the musty smell on our clothes. I also purchased the washer magic from the last repairman who came out and it has not helped with the odor.

My complaint number : Hr 07008007216 My washing machine broke down on the 25th july 2008 and i promptly registered a complaint ....despite repeated requests everyday sinec then , the problem has not been rectified and i have been taking leave from office since 4 days because they say they will come today and fix it but to no avail....everyday they give a different story...i have missed work for 4 days now and very soon i will be out of a job ...thanks to them ...they are as rude as hanging up the phone and saying they cant do anything about it.

We purchased a new Whirlpool Duet washer in Feburary 2006 and the dryer in July 2006. The washer hasn't given us a bit of trouble since we bought it BUT the dryer...oh the dryer is an entirely different story. We have had several problems with the circuit boards and the drum being out of round. The dryer made a scraping noise at each rotation thus ruining the seal. It also wouldn't finish it's cycle. Set it for 45 minutes and it would stop at 10 or so. A couple of times it wouldn't start at all.

on January 15th 2003 I purchased a new calypso washer and dryer from my local appliance store. I was excited about the purchase of my new set. I read it was the best on the market at that time. Since then, my dryer shorted out and I had to have a new circuit board. Whirlpool warranted that but not the service since it was out of warranty. All along I have complained about the dryer does not dry completely in the normal settings, but it will in the time cycle.

Bought a top of the line Whirlpool Cabrio washer and gas dryer for $2000 in January of 2007 from Lowe's. It had digital controls, and no agitator in the washer, the very highest model. Thankfully, I just sold it on Craigslist for half of what I paid for it. It works, it is not broken, the only thing is IT DOES NOT CLEAN CLOTHES. This entire high efficiency is just a huge problem. Ninety percent of the posts on this site are for HE washers.

I own a Whirlpool top loaded-model #LSW0245EQ. I purchased it Nov. 1999. For the last year I noticed spots on my laundry but did not connect this with the washer. Recently, I realized that these spots were RUST! I inspected the machine and found rust on and under the rim. The enamel is flaky and rusted and drips into the basket below.The biggest irritation is that this Whirlpool washer was designed by Whirlpool to help the environment by saving water. It was advertized as The Resource Saver.

I purchased a Whirlpool Cabrio washer less than 1 year ago. In the first 6 months, the pump failed because loose change got into it and blew a hole in the pump. Water began to flow out onto my basement floor. We replaced the part ($75.00) and the dealer said it was happening quite a bit with this model. So much that they were thinking of recalling it. Now, 7 months later, the same thing has happened again.

I've had it with whirlpool. I purchased brand new whirlpools in 2006 and within 9months of purchase had to have the washer motor replaced. Now I have problems with the dryer not putting out heat, and the appliances are only 2 years old. I've had better luck with Kenmore lasting 8 yrs with no problems.

Its hardly months we bought WHIRPOOL Washing Machine.The water wouldnt drain from the tub,neither the fan was working,inspite of making numerous calls to the concerned person.no sort of contact from their side,he even switches of his cell.

I'll start out by say I Have Purchased the same whirlpool calypso machines for about 2200 dollars when they first came out. They have been nothing but trouble for me 1st year was fine and when the warrenty was up I extended it and thank God I did the circut board went out not once but twice on the washer. Now almost 2 years later the dryer goes out the panel wont light up I dont even have any warrenty now, at least I dont think I do.I will have to call.

I purchased a front load Whirlpool washer(GHW9150PW) and matching dryer (GEW9250PW)(15.5 pedestals for both) and a 25 Maytag Refrigerator(MF12568AEW) on Jan 12 , 2007. We live in Florida 7/8 months of the year and in the NE for 4/5 months. In May , 2007, we shut down our condo for our trip to the NE, turning off water, appliances, ect. We returned in Nov, everything was fine.

Whirlpool Cabrio Washing Machine Broke, not covered by less than a year warranty. found out they are all a problem. Similar to the Class Action on the Whirlpool Calypso, should be one for Cabrio...I would join

We bought a Whirlpool washing machine on 14/07/08. The machine bought is a defective machine. The hydro of the machine does not work.The wiring of the machine was defective. Morover, when contacted the showroom guys, these guys are not willing to replace this machine with the new machine. They are constantly pushing us to get this same machine rectified. As a consumer we would like to get this machine replaced. We think that we are decieved by these guys & would like to bring this matter up. I have not quantified damages as of now. But Yes, its again a breach of trust which we have faced. Information: Bill no: 157683 Tin no:-07620885311

I bought the cabrio set almost a year ago. They have been a godsend for our family of seven, until now. We had a power flicker while the washer was running earlier today and now I'm getting the now famous f51 code, and it wont stop trying to drain. It amazes me that there hasn't been a recall yet. I will be digging for my receipts here shortly if this is the norm. I went with this set because from here we have to go commercial grade for our needs.

I bought a new Whirlpool washer (hlv2258643) and it worked for a month, then broke. A repair guy looked at it, ordered a part. Three weeks after the machine had broken the wrong part arrived. A repair guy determined it was the wrong part and ordered the right one. 2.5 weeks later I found out (at my initiative) that the part is back-ordered until 1.5 months after the machine broke. The bottom line is that I've had the washer for 2.5 months and it's only been usable for the first month -- broken for a month and a half, and counting.

I purchased the calypso set 3 years ago from American Tv and Appliance. The washer has been serviced 3 times with total overhaul and the dryer 3 times now also once with total over haul. I spent a lot of money on this set and Whrilpool refuses to cover the repairs any more. This is a problem set and I think they should stand behind their product. Whirlpool should put out a commercial saying spend 1,200 with us and the product you purchase will not work and will make you loose time from work and make your life a living hell. I called today to see if they would do like a trade up. I was willing to spend more money with them just to get something that worked and they said no.

Purchased Whirlpool Duet Frontloading washing machine and dryer. Has the washer 1 month and all of the circuit boards went out so Lowes replaced the machine. The new machine lasted 3 months and then 1 of the circuit boards went out on it. After that about every 3 months other issues with the machine now the drumb and basket have been replaced for the 3rd time and it is still not working correctly and Whirlpool is not willing to do anything about it unless it want to pay for it because the machine is out of warranty now.

I have purchase Whirlpool wash machine from Lowe's on 6/28/07 with model # WFW9200SQ00. The subject machine is not working over months. A & E factory service Tech came four times to fix it and still not working. I have received very poor service from Whirlpool and A & E service. I will never buy again [their] products and will tell other peoples my experience and tell them to avoid purchase Whirlpool product.

I bought this Whirlpool front load washer because they advertise it cleans better and for less money than the conventional models. It may use less water but it runs on average but I don't feel it cleans better or even as near good as a conventional washer.

On Sept. 17, 2005, I purchased a Whirlpool Washer Model LSQ9110PW3. On Nov. 16, 2006 the first water pump failed and flooded my laundry room which is on the second floor of my house. Whirlpool paid for the part and of course I paid the more expensive labor. On Aug. 13, 2007, the second water pump failed again flooding my laudry room and this time I paid for the replacement pump. Tonight, July 5, 2008 the third pump failed, flooding the laundry room. I kept the last pump and now I have two water pumps that seem to have failed in the EXACT same spot. The first pump was taken by the repairman. I would like to know if I am the only person having this problem with the water pump on this machine.

Every time I wash my clothes, there is brown crud that is coming from somewhere within the wash machine. This stuff sticks to my clothes. I have thrown out a lot of clothes because of this.

After 3 service calls this washer still goes off balance when just agitating and definately when spinning. Not only that but it is soooo loud,my cat hides and I have to shut the door to the laundry room. It seems to bang the side of the washer when it is spinning and shuts down till I straighten or level it. It is a piece of junk.

I bought a Whirlpool Cylypso washer and dryer around March, 2002. It was the biggest mistake I ever made. The washer tangles clothes so bad it is almost imposible to get them untangled. I had a problem with the pump and had to have it replaced at a cost of almost $400.00. I have a problem with the display showing LD or SL quite often. I have to stop the cycle and change from normal to quick wash to finish the load.

At Whirlpool's request I called A&E to fix my washer. A&E had us order a wrong part. We are stuck with a $220.00 part that we cannot use because Whirlpool cannot accept returned parts. A&E needs to take this part back because it was their error. Right now, all they want to do is have me install the correct board that I may not need just so they can do an exchange. I should not have to put over $600 in a washer that is under 4 years old. I am finding out that there are a lot of complaints about faulty boards from Maytag. Is there a class action suit going on? If so, I might be interested in joining in. I will not buy another Maytag washer.

the pump went out on a calipso washer - where do i find the class action suit for the machine owners?

We purchased the Whirlpool Cabrio washer and dryer approx 15 months ago. Since aquiring the set, the washer has leaked at least 6 times. We have had a technician come out to service it on two different occasions, but both times he told us that there was no problem with the unit. If there was no problem, it shouldn't be leaking! We assume it is unbalanced or unlevel, but the washer never shows unbalanced or has any error of any kind. It completes the cycle and puts water on the floor. I would say it puts out about a liter of water on the floor.

We purchased all of our applicances from from Sears 4 years ago (new construction) including the Calypso washer and dryer, thank goodness we purchased the extended warranty on all, as Sears has been out numerous times to repair all the applicances, but my main complaint is the Calypso Washer.

Whirlpool lists this Company as a certified whirlpool repair company. I phoned them on recommendation from whirlpool. The technician came to my house to diagnose the problem for $29.99. He diagnosed the problem and said I needed part#8182706. I phoned whirlpool and informed them that my washer was only 3 months out of warranty and if there was something they could do on the warranty. Whirlpool agreed to give me the needed part at a 50% discount. I ordered the part from Allen and Son's. Whirlpool has a policy that you cannot return parts. I reinforced this to the tech. He called his office to verify the part number. He gave me the part number and I ordered over the phone while he stood there. He phoned the day after and said he gave the wrong part number.

I bought a Whirlpool Calypso washer and dryer in October of 2001. The cost was $999. for the dryer and $1799. plus 15% tax plus extended warranties. All total almost $3800 Canadian. In January of 2003 the washer was not working and the display said LD (long drain) so I called the service company and they sent out a repair man that had never worked on these machines before. Good job it was under warranty otherwise I would have paid this guy for 2 1/2 days to learn about the machine. After the end of the second day he told me that there was yellow balls in the washer and that my kids must have put them there and that wouldn't be covered by the warranty. Turns out that these balls are part of the pressure lock system that tells the machine when to drain the water.

I got a brand new Whirlpool dishwasher and had it professionally installed. The dishwasher is used once every 5 or 6 days for our household dishes and pans. After 5 years the motor lower main bearing started seizing up. The motor shaft and bearing sleeve are too tight of a fit. The oil was in the reservoir. But I filled it further and directly oiled the shaft and bearing sleeve. This solved the problem for several months, when I had to re-oil the shaft and bearing. There is no way this bearing failure is due to normal wear.

I bought the washer/dryer set (Calypso by Whirlpool) four years ago. When I first received them the dryer had numerous issues with the circuit board. The set was still under warranty and the dryer was a floor model so I let it go.

My wife and I purchased a Calypso Washer and Dryer in Aug 2001. I purchased the extended warranty from the appliance store. Good thing. After about 2 months, the circuit board went out. Turns out there was a recall on it which the repairman said, but the store denied that there was.

Bought the calypso washer and dryer on 3/18/2002, for 1,800.00. Worst washer I've ever owned. My new G.E, is being delivered today. I'll NEVER buy a Whirlpool appliance again!

We brought a Whirlpool Cabrio Washer and Dryer in Sept. 06. Every since we got it we could not get it to level. We just spent 250.00 to fix the circuit board. The machine is still not level and we will not purchase another whirlpool. It was just about a week or so after the warranty expired that the machine really malfunctioned.

My new Cabrio Washing machine is using double the amount of water as shown. After confirming with Whirlpool, Lowe's and A&E Service, the Cabrio is designed to be a low water using machine. It should use between 8-10 gallons per wash and rinse with the total usage being between 16-20 gallons. My washing machine is using between 36-52 gallons per wash. I have physically taken the drain hose and drained all the water into large plastic tubs to hand measure with a gallon jug to confirm usage. We have had our water meter calibrated and it was shown correct. The county has come back and even replaced our outside meter twice and currently we have a builder (brand new) meter on the washing machine line so as to confirm the usage inside. I have contacted Whirlpool and they are not helping in any way other than to send another tech from A&E to see if there is anything else wrong but they only check that the machine is working.

We purchased a Maytag Bravos (now owned by Whirlpool) in November and have had the repairmen out FIVE TIMES. Now it doesn't work at all. Every part of it has been replaced. It's been a nightmare and Whirlpool keeps making us jump through whoops.

i purchased a whirlpool calyspo washer 4 yrs ago,and now come to find out after its is no good and will cost over 500.00 dollars to fix with a 30 day guarentee on the part.

Not only do the clothes not get cleaned properly, it repeats the rinse cycle, so I am wasting water. Every 10 minutes or so, I have to go stop the machine, wait for it to drain and restart it on a different cycle! I cannot use the machine for it's intended purpose, which was to save time by purchasing a bigger washer to was more at a time and conserve water!

Unfortunately I am relieved to know that I'm not the only sucker that spent $2000 on a whirlpool duet washer and dryer with mold problems. I purchased the pair in 2004 with extended warranty from Lowes and have had several repair techs out to do something about the mold and all said the same thing, clean with bleach, wipe it dry after use and leave the door open.

I have used my Whirlpool Cabrio Washer for less than 8 months and it has literally exploded and distroyed the clothing inside which consisted of 1 sheet 1 mattress cover 1 pr. of underware (not even half a load). At the price I paid for this it averages at over $100.00 a month!! And believe me it is completely distroyed.

I bought a Calypso washer and dryer. Most costly mistake I've ever made. The washer tears up my clothes and it takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours to dry a load of towels. This is energy efficient??? Servicemen can't find anything wrong. I have had my vent professionally cleaned, no improvement. I will never buy anything made by Whirlpool again.

I purchased a Cabrio wd set in Nov 06 and have had problems with the spin cycle for the last two weeks. The service calls I have had from the company that does the extended warranty with, does not seem to know how to fix the washer. LD keeps being displayed on the washer and will not spin. First, it was a loose wire, then lint in the drain line (?) and now the drain pump, and the technician knows this without even coming to check the machine this time, or so he says.

I bought a new stackable washer and dryer on line from Whirlpool Everyhome Partners because of a program whereby Whirlpool offered good discounts to employees and family members. The washer and dryer were delivered on October 8, 2007. Immediately there were problems with the washer. After the final spin cycle, there would be a puddle of water on the floor by the right front foot, probably 1/2 cup or so. Many times the door would fail to latch completely so the washer would stop in mid cycle. After much trial and error, I found that if i turned the right knob to stop, pushed on the latch HARD, and then re-set everything to the wash cycle i wanted, it would run. I am now in the habit of shutting the door VERY HARD to keep this from happening. Sometimes it still does.

Bought Whirlpool Washer and Dryer in either 2005 or early 2006. We started having problems with the Washer almost a year later agitator defaulted so we commenced to loading fewer clothes than allowed. Currently we experienced a problem with water leakage. We found that Whirlpool uses epoxy on what's supposed to be new motors. Why would a new washer motor need epoxy? Epoxy is a substance used to prevent leakage. Problem found Saturday, May 3, 2008.

I purchased my Whirlpool Duet in 11/06. We have been having mold problems that even ends up in our clothes. Lately, we have significant respiratory problems as well. i called Mark at Lowes, whom I bought the washer/dryer from for purchased for almost $2,000. He said he'd never had a complaint and he couldn't help me and I should call the company. I think there needs to be a class action suit initiated regarding this product.

We purchased a set of Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer in Sept 2005 for $2500 after tax from HH Gregg. The dryer needed a new 'computer board' or something within a few months and then the washer has had a horrible disgusting smell in it since the first few months and the inside of the rubber rim is full of mold no matter how often I clean it. It shakes and moves across the floor on the spin cycle. Just in the last few months has started leaving grey oil looking stains on my clothes (especially towels) and ruining them! This is the most expensive set of junk appliances I have ever purchased. We will NEVER buy whirlpool again... EVER!

I purchased a new Whirlpool Duet HT Washer and Dryer from Pacific Sales. After one and a half month the washing machine would not turn on and would not work. I called the Pacific Sales Appliance Repair and they could not send anyone out for two weeks to take a look. I then called Whirlpool and had their factory-authorized repair center take care of it. A part was ordered and yet when the new part was installed the machine would still not work. When I asked Pacific Sales to replace the machine or give a refund so I could buy another machine, they pointed the finger at Whirlpool. Pacific Sales sold a defective product and would not take any responsibility to replace it and claimed Whirlpool would not take it back.

Purchased a Whirlpool Duet front loading washer and dryer in late 2004. In 2007 the washing machine and dryer began producing foul odors during operation and the washing machine fails to run intermittently due to Error Codes F11 and DL.

We have a whirlpool duet front loading washer and companion dryer. Just after the warranty expired, the washer developed a loud knocking during the spin cycle. We had a service call ($75) and they said it would cost about $400 to replace a part in the machine.

Purchased Calypso W&D when it came out. Within the 1st few months problems started. From Error codes to mildew and irremovable stains I have had every problem possible. I thought I had 4 repairs but when I really went over it with my husband its 5 times for washer, 2 for dryer and the final time was 4/22/08. I was told it could not be repaired and it rusted from the inside out and FYI no one covers rust.

My Whirpool Duet washing machine SMELLS!!!! I have complained many times and the tell me they know about the problem, but it's not covered under warranty.

I bought a whirlpool cabrio washer and dryer, it started leaking 1 year after buying it ,we paid 80 dollars for a plastic part and now 6 months later it is leaking again it does not get your clothes clean and it has ripped alot of clothes the dryer is junk to ,it wont shut off unless you manualy shut it off we paid 1,600 for the pair I will never buy a ANOTHER WHIRPOOL PRODUCK AGAIN.

The Whirlpool Duet Washer is a real Gem. This washer is the biggest piece of junk that I have ever used. The washer was purchased approximately 2 years ago and has never cleaned the clothing. The washer leaks water, which by the sounds of other postings, I certainly am not alone here. The washer does not spin all of the water out of the clothing. There is a large amount of water remaining in the washer after the cycle has completed. I will take back my 12 year old Amana top loading washer anyday over this expense piece of crap.

Purchased Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer May 2006. I have had several service calls for washer and parts replaced. Washer grows MOLD!! It grows in the door gasket and detergent tray (maybe more places that I can't see). I have been told to bleach, leave door open.

In Dec 2002 I purchased a Whirlpool top loader Calypso wash machine, on July 3,03 we had a service call to clean the pump,for which we paid 56 dollars. Nov 13,03 we had a service call to replace the pump. July 14,04 we replaced the timer, July 19,04 we replaced the pump. July 27th, 04 we replaced the ujoint, Aug 27,04 another new pump. Sep 27,04 another new pump. we had well over 10 additional service calls since then with the final one declaring the machine unrepairable.

My wife and i bought a Wirlpool washer and dryer in 2001 in the 1st year we had to replace tub the washer timer mech the year after the dryer timer went i had to peplace the cabinet on the washer due to rusting 2 years latter the timer in the washer went again and cabinet started rusting and these app are not in a basement,they are on a 1st floot also the top of easher started rusting

I purchased a Whirlpool Cabrio washing in Dec, 2006. I noticed the bleach and fabric softener was not dispensed after a wash cycle. This happened two months after the manufacturer warranty expired and I did not purchase the extended warranty. The repairman had to replace the log that contains all the valvues for each dispenser. The part was on backorder for over two weeks and costs $120.00. The repairman also stated that he sees this part go wrong alot on the Cabrio. Very disappointing for a washing machine that cost $1000.

I am so glad I found this site because I thought I was going crazy. I mean who would have thought that a new washing machine would have so many problems. I bought my machine 2 years ago. A whirpool Duet washing machine. I am so thankful now that I talked my husband out of buying the dryer. The machine has had spinning problems from day on and now floods my floor everytime I do laundry.

Purchased a Whirlpool LHW0050PQ front load washer in 6/07. In February it stopped spinning. To make a long story short, 6 weeks, 4 service calls, 4 missed days of work, 3 new parts later, machine still does not work. Same problem. Whirlpool customer service is absolutely no help. They're content to send the repair people, metro appliance, out, time after time after time and keep replacing different parts. They never have parts in stock, so there's always at least 2 weeks between determination new part is needed and installation of new part. Whirlpool should be overnighting parts, but doesn't. I would NEVER buy a whirlpool product again because of the poor customer service.

Purchased new Whirlpool wtw6600SW2 washer from Lowes. Large leaks all over the floor. Called service but they found NO problems. Tested and washer didn't leak. Started using washing again. Washer leaked again with another service call placed. Searched the web to find out if anyone else has this issue. From other posts, seems to be a problem with these type washers. The design flaw must have been carried over to the new 6600 model from the earlier 6200 and 6400 models. 2 inches of water on the floor is unacceptable each time I do 1-2 loads of laundry. Had a Fisher/Paykel washer for 4 years that never leaked, but decided to go with Whirlpool. WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS! I am washing clothes, not my floor. I should not have to use a mop after washing clothes. Need to keep these manufacturers accountable for merchandise that doesn't stand up to their claims.

These products have never worked correctly since purchase. Now I have F-11 codes on the washer. The only way to fix is to purchase a new control board and new motor control board for $300.00 I also need a new basket bearing. The only way to get the bearing is to purchase a new rear tub half for $350.00. The dryer has never dried the clothes properly. Using the automatic settings leaves clothes damp no matter how dry you select on the settings.

We've had this washer not even 2 years, and it is costing us a lot of money to repair along with frustration. Our washer started leaking a considerable amount of water. We talked to Whirlpool and went on their site to find a service company that is backed by them. After 6 weeks, our washer is still not working - in fact, they came and got it after coming here 4 times replacing part after part after part. Still leaking. They only came to get it to all of the water leaks from the washer, the water penetrated through the floor and caused leaks from the floor of our second floor, to the ceiling of our first floor. The service company that we got through Whirlpool has given us poor service, and when they came to our home the first time, they leaned on the walls in our laundry room and they are black and won't come clean. We still don't have a washer; and after 3 weeks, WE CALLED THEM for an update, and they said they had to order yet another part. They told us this was going to be very expensive, and they've already sent us a bill for nearly $400.00 for parts and labor. AND now they tell us it wasn't the gasket, it wasn't the door latch, it wasn't the gasket the second time. NOW they say that the door is warped.

We are appealing to you to intervene with Whirlpool and Sears Repairs to assist us in getting our washing machine fixed. The machine is under warranty with Whirlpool. When the machine started making strange noise, we called Whirlpool who sent repairmen from A & E Factory Services. They made two service calls. The first repairman said that the parts needed would cost much more than the price of a new machine. Nevertheless, we got a call that the company would order the parts and fix the machine. A second crew unsuccessfully spent an afternoon trying to repair our machine. A & E Factory Repairs Services of Sears (located in Texas) basically ordered the entire machine in parts. When on the second visit, they failed to put all the parts together to get the machine operating, the service people unceremoniously departed, leaving a dangerous mess of new and used parts, some of them quite large, a few unopened, in our living room.

I purchased a Whirlpool Duet washer 3 years ago. It has foul odors and mold inside. I have tried every remedy that I have been told (bleach, weekly tablets, leaving door open, ETC) nothing works. Now I have water leaking out the front door and Sears repair says that they can not fix it.

I purchased a Whirlpool washer for $408.63 on 3-10-07. On 11-19-07 I had service our for repairs, and they replaced the timer--though also stated at that time that the machine had a burning smell to it at various times. In Jan. of 2008, service came out again as we again stated the occasional burning smell. This time the motor was replaced which cost more than the actual cost of the machine in March of '07. This was just 8 months after purchasing this machine (very gently used, though it is a commercial grade capacity AND an energy start efficient machine). I'm beginning to wonder what the next problem might be. Of course, the warranty will be expired the next time, and it will undoubtedly will cost us instead of the manufacturer.

Purchased a Whirlpool Duet Washer/Dryer from Lowe's. Dryer has been fine, Washer...everything started smelling like Body Order AFTER it was washed. Moldy smell on everything, especially towels. 3 trips from Lowe's authorized repairmen and it still smells. We found moldy gunk built up under the agitator, but can't get to it (neither can repairman) then it started snagging and tearing up the towels. Finally, the front control board cracked and now we get f11, which means more trips from repairmen who can't do anything to fix it. Looks like Whirlpool's planned obsolence is back and in force. Is there any Federal agency looking into this company's success at producing these machines?

The Calypso Washing machine developed a problem of draining the water. Being a do-it-yourselfer, I turned it over, removed the pump and found that 'clothes debris' was stuck in the impeller. The design of the pump was such that made it impossible to remove such matter making it a 'disposable item'. I put in a new pump. The replacement pump was was not OEM and a much better design; it is serviceable. Another problem: clothes getting holes after washing. We have determined that it is the washer. The 'calypso action' bottom that rocks, has a 'gasket' that is not continuous around the edge of it.

I purchased the Calypso Washer and Dryer on August 17, 2006 (that is LESS THAN 2 years ago). Within the first year (approximately 9 months), the circuit board on the dryer went. I called the store where I bought it, and they put me in touch with who does the warranty work. He did replace it, and within 3 months (and a couple of days) of my warranty expiring, I still have trouble with the dryer not completing the dry cycle. I can put it on 23 minutes to dry, and it will dry for about 5-8 minutes, then stop. And no, I didn't purchase the extended warranty, I figured that is why they're so expensive - they must be top of the line, huh? Why should I spend another couple of hundred dollars just to make sure? What a racket!

Well, we bought all high end appliances as we have a large family and they get there use. But we have had issues with all 4 of them. Washer, stove, fridge,and dishwasher.) My main problem is our front load DUET washer I paid extra $ to save wear and tear on the clothes and the machine is EATING the clothes up, they keep getting caught in the seal of the front washer. Whirlpool doesn't seem to really care that they aren't making quality products. I understand that things break and there are issue with appliances but all 4 needing servicing?

Purchased the Duet Washer and Dryer yesterday. Installed that night and get the Low Water message. Did the trouble shooting. Still no work. 2 little girls waiting on clothes as the last one went out mid wash. Bought it from Lowes and since I didn't pay for them to deliver it, they didn't want to come out to replace it, even though it was in the first 7 days. Did what they said and called Whirlpool. Trouble shooting again, still doesn't work so they said they could have someone come out 11 days from now. What the heck?!

Please disregard my previous post on 12/27/07. We have a 3-year-old front load Whirlpool duet washer that had a major failure. This was a $1,000 unit when purchased. The total repair cost for this recent failure is $1,050 and parts are back ordered for several weeks. Whirlpool has offered to cover the cost of parts only. However, the parts may already be covered by a limited warranty. I am still negotiating with Whirlpool. This issue has been resolved in a positive manner with Whirlpool and they deserve to be recognized.

I bought a Whirlpool washer from Lowes approximately two years ago. I moved to South Carolina about six months after having bought the unit and while moving the washer the frame started to come apart. I put the screws back into the unit and left it. I bought a house about a year later across town and when I moved the washer it fell completely apart. The entire casing fell off, only one screw was still in it. It ripped two holes in the flooring when it happened.

Whirlpool Cabrio washer has a bad design that allows a build-up of gunk and bacteria deep inside the machine that the 'clean washer' cycle cannot clean out with bleach. If you use more tha 2 TBLSP of HE detergent (in other words if you use anything beyond line #1 on cap of Tide HE) you are aggravating the problem. The gunk re-deposits onto clothes and is most noticeable on towels which are made to absorb water--on fresh-washed towels you smell a moldy B.O.-type of smell! How delightful to step out of the shower and dry off with a towel that makes you smell of B.O.!

I paid for a service contract renwal on 10/22/07 and have a copy of the cashed check; I needed service on 1/10/08 for my washer and was told I had no contract. I sent a copy of the check and was told it would take 48 hours to update the system. Here I am, 19 days and probably 20 phone calls later, and I still don't have my contract. I had my washer serviced by a nationwide service company for Whirlpool and can be reimbursed (supposedly) by Whirlpool by filing a two page form. Unfortunately I can't file for the reimbursement until I have a new contract number. I have sent emails to a couple of different departments and called as mentioned and have heard NOTHING in 19 days.

Mold is growing in the washer despite regular cleaning/bleaching and allowing the unit to remain open to dry out between washes. Odor gets in and remains on clothes. Grease or film gets into clothes. I have spent many hours and lots of money on cleaning products to help remove the stains and odors.

I own a whirlpool duet washer that was purchased 10/04. An error code comes up on the front panel f11. After 2 service men from different companies that whirlpool suggested, the washer is still broken. Whirlpool's suggestion is to buy another machine. Unfortunately, the warrenty is expired and they can only offer a 10% discount on another machine.

We have purchased a new Cabrio top load washer recently and have had nothing with problems with the unit. Display keeps saying LD. Service man has been out 3 times to which I have lost work days. Now he will be out a fourth time as he needs to order a part they do not stock. Washer pumps have been replaced and now they say it is the control board. Now I will lose a 4th day of work for one of Whirlpools most expensive models!

I have a 4 yr old Whirlpool Duet Washer/Dryer. It cost me over $2000 and at that time I thought I was buying a reliable brand. Main issues: 1. Water leaking from the door during wash cycles. I even paid ethe xtended warranty for the, but 3 visits from the service guy and still nothing has solved the problem. First they told me it was a leveling issue. He adjusted the bolts at the bottom of the machine to make the machine tilt a little more to the back. Then, I was told not to overload. I barely even fill 3/4 of the tub and the machine was advertised to be large capacity. Even so, assuming I overloaded, how come the machine does not leak when I do the Rinse/Spin cycle with the same clothes? 2. Molds. There are a lot of molds in the soap dispenser and in the rubber gasket. While I could take the soap dispenser and wash the mold off, I couldn't do it with the rubber gasket. 3. I don't think that clothes are coming out clean.

I purchased a new home and soon after purchased a new whirlpool duet washer and drier. Within the first year of having my drier it broke 3 times. Each time that it broke, it took several weeks if not months for parts to come in. Each of the problems that I had were noticed when the drum of the drier would start rubbing the side of the drier. I'm still waiting for the final fix.

I have a whirlpool duet washing machine (front laoder). There has been a chronic black mold issue around the rubber gasket near the door. I am sure it is in other areas but can't see it. The smell is awful. I was told, on many different contact calls, that you should leave the door open. I was also given a boat load of remedies i.e., bleach, cascade, and then was sent AFFRESH tablets. All of these never controlled or eliminated the issue. The clothes smell along with the laundry room. They say to leave the door open, which I did until my child concerns arose. I feel that if you leave the door open it is a high probability that a child may climb in. I am so frustrated and since reading the other complaints I now know I am not alone. I feel the company just tries to have you do all these trouble shooting tips to back peddle on the issue. One positive note, a service tech is coming out to evaluate the situation. I just hope it is not replaced with another rubber gasket becasue I will be back to square one! I hope some kind of action will take place in the immediate future.

I purchased a Whirlpool Duet set from Lowes in 2004. Within six months washer was pouring water onto the floor. I called the service company, and the tech said he couldn't find any problem, probably a sock or wash cloth blocked the drain. Since that time the washer has flooded the floor several times, leaking into the basement, water damage everywhere. Now its smelling like mold. Often the washer will stop when it is full of water, will not respond the drain/spin. I have to unplug machine to reset it.

I, too, have many complaints concerning the Calypso washer and dryer. The washer ruins towels with pulls and shreds, and the dryer has to have repeated dryer times to finally get the clothes dried. A technician replaced the drum last year, but the clothes still shred. So, we have just about decided the problem lies with the washer. We live in a resort lake community and have many problems getting technicians to come to our area. I feel that Whirlpool should understand that because of the numerous complaints on this model, the consumers should be compensated with another model. I have owned and still own Whirlpool products such as dishwashers, ovens and microwaves. These other products have always worked beautifully. When you pay a higher price for the Calypso models, you depend on their positive results for many years. This will not be the case.

We have a 3-year-old front load Whirlpool duet washer that had a major failure. This was a $1,000 unit when purchased. The total repair cost for this recent failure is $1,050 and parts are back ordered for several weeks. Whirlpool has offered to cover the cost of parts only. However, the parts may already be covered by a limited warranty. I am still negotiating with Whirlpool.

We bought a Whirlpool Duet Washer and now that the warranty has expired the machine is breaking down. We have been getting error codes for weeks and would have to reset the machine or take it apart and drain the water manually. Now when you turn the machine on water pours from the area where the detergent dispenser is. We can't use the machine at all now.

MY HOME IS RUINED! In May 2006, I entered a contrct to purchase the Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer. I loved the way this washer cleaned clothes but last week I noticed a puddle of water on the floor in my laudry room. Thinking my dog had an accident, I cleaned the puddle up and moved the washer to get the rest of the mess and thats when I noticed the devistation! My washer had been leaking for quite some time without my knowledge. My home is 10 years old and RUINED! I called the company with the contract on my purchase and they came out and took it away and left me a brand new one. My old one is on its way 200 miles from my home to be tested and diagnosed. I figure at least $10,000 in damages!

I am not seeing any complaints on this sight for the Whirlpool CABRIO washing machine . Are there any out there? We bought and have already had this machine replaced by Sears within 3 weeks of delivery because the load became unbalanced and then the machine leaked all over the utility room. Since Oct. the repairman has been to the house 3 times; and most recently, immediately after making repairs and running a test load, witnessed the same thing happen again. I am getting nowhere with the warranty service company and want some assistance if at all possible.

I purchased a Duet washer/dryer pedestal combo in Dec 2006. The machines worked fine for the first 7-8 months then the washer began screaching unbearably everytime the drum moved. I called Sears and waited 6 hours for them to finally show up, only to tell me they couldn't fix the problem (sidewall where drum springs attach was flexing creating the noise). Since product was under warranty with Whirlpool, they advised me to contact whirlpool. Whirlpool service scheduled on 12/10 for an 8-noon window. At noon I called and asked if someone was still coming. At 3pm I gave up and canceled, calling Whirlpool to re-schedule with another company, which they did. 10 minutes later the other company Whirlpool called told me they don't make Saturday appts (which Whirlpool confirmed with me) and furthermore, the appointment was for a gas dryer. I spent another 45 minutes with Whirlpool that Saturday and just gave up. I have a toddler that is woken up by my screaching washer and an incompetent service provider who prides themselves on the Whirlpool Customer Experience which consists of impatient, incompetent and poorly trained representatives. This morning I called again, held for 20 minutes and finally spoke to a supervisor who scheduled yet another visit which hopefully will resolve or replace the defective machine.

I bought the Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer and have had nothing but problems with them. The dryer has never worked well - I mean it takes hours. And jeans and sheets get balled up and do not dry completely. The Duet washer is another nightmare. It bascially leaks out of its left front leg almost every time I do laundry. I had service techs out several times when it was under warrenty and they had no clue. There was no fix for this problem and I was told to wrap a rag around the leg when it leaks. The floor under the unit is mold covered and tonight, with the unit washing under a delicate cycle, it flooded the laundry area. The drawers were full of water and you could see where the water had leaked out of the door of the washer. I will never buy a Whirlpool product again. I am also stuck with a valet unit and no chemical. This was a $2000.00 mistake.

I was one of the first to purchase a Calypso washing machine in 2003. We had two major repairs in the first two years, both for lint clogging the pump. We complained to Whirlpool and got no results for about a year. Whirlpool then called and said they would reimburse us for the part only. We then learned of a class action suit and since we were reimbursed for a part, we are no longer eligible to be party to the class action suit. Since then, we have had 3 more repairs for over $600. I am furious the way that Whirlpool said that it was our fault, then only reimbursed the part once, knowing it would prevent us from being part of the class action suit. I will never buy a whirlpool product, including Kenmore. I will take my business overseas, probably a Japanese/German/Korean product.

I purchased my Whirlpool Calypso washer and dryer in April 2003 because I believed it had a good reputation. I have had nothing but problems since then. Even though the machines are H E, this really means nothing since I need to wash and dry my clothes as least 3-4 times. It never cleaned my clothes properly. And it constantly reads LD, OS and other. As of 2005 I have had people in my house replacing the same parts every 3-6 months, waiting a one to two months each time for the parts. At this time I have not been able to use my washer or dryer for 2 months; I have to go to the laundromat.

I started noticing musty smell on clothes. I called Whirlpool. They sent repairman but was unable to locate problem. I was told to a use bleach recipe given, a vinegar recipe, Cascade, Whirlpool's new product AFFRESH--none of which worked. Chloe at Whirlpool said if smell remains in clothes/towels after all this, hang in sun after washing. It's more like: if smell remains throw clothes/towels etc out; replace items but continue to use AFFRESH monthly or more frequently if necessary.

I purchased a Whirlpool Washer in May 2000. Beginning within the first year, we had problems and so far have had to have the motor replaced, clutch repaired 2 times, drum replaced, problems with dispensers and numerous other visits for problems. The machine is now 7 years old and another problem. Seems your forced to keep service contract going which is not over $80 for year. I've asked to have the machine fixed or replaced numerous times and even contacted the Whirlpool Corporate office when the machine just turned 5 years and was told it was 'too old' to do anything! I paid almost $500 for this machine - with contracts probably close to $1000. It is model #lsq9264hq0 Serial CK1068628

Washing machine was purchased 2-3 years ago for $600. Called repair man; he said the motor does not have enough power to drive the machine. It failed after 2 years of using it 1-2 times a week. Repairman said it is very unusual to have a motor fail in under 10 years. In essence I was sold a defective machine. I called Whirlpool and they would not repair the machine nor replace the motor.

I purchased a Whirlpool Duet Washing Machine, front loader (on 2/17/07), and there is a fowl smell emitted from the machine. It is a musty, rubbery smell that gets into the clothes. I complained to the retailer, and he sold me some cleaning tablets, but of course they don't help.

Whirlpool Duet washer emits fowl-smelling odor on laundry. Despite numerous complaints and following through with advice to wash with white wine vinegar and/or baking soda, the odor still remains. Something which you buy to clean items in your household shouldn't be emitting an unsanitary odor or thereby relaying that to the laundry you are trying to clean.

I bought a combination Whirlpool washer/dryer about 13 months ago, and last week the timer went out on the washer. I e-mailed Whirlpool and asked them if they could send me the part. It's simple enough to replace, so I said I'd save them the service call and do it myself. They e-mailed me back and said that the warranty had expired after 1 year, but I was welcome to purchase the part from them for $95. No thanks. I bought one from a wholesaler for less and did it myself.

Why is there no class action suit against Whirlpool? I will be contacting an attorney. I purchased a duet washer a little over a year ago. I now am finding mold all throughout the machine and in the drain hose. I followed all instructions on the washer cleaning it monthly with bleach,using the special soap and leaving the door open. Still I have MOLD! On top of this I also have had drain flies come in my home from this mold problem. I am so upset. I see that there is a class action suit against Maytag for this problem. I can't believe that Whirlpool is now advising people to buy a tablet to clean the mold from their washers. I hope my children don't get sick from this mold or any other children of families who believed their advertising about a machine that would save you money in water and soap! I have spent a fortune trying to find out why fly larvae was coming up into my toilet through my drains. The fly larvae in my washer is from the problem. My clothes smelled moldy for quite a while before my drain clogged & filled with mold! It is inside where you can't see it....

Our Whirlpool Duet washer has a terrible mold problem. After we began using it a bad stink comes from the drum area. A couple of weeks ago our 2-year-old washer developed a problem with drain flies and a musty odor. After cleaning all the drains, replacing my sump pump trying to eliminate the source of foul odor and flies, I found mold on/under and just about everywhere in my washing machine in the soap dispensing area. I saw even more mold in the machine near the vent holes.

I purchased a Whirlpool Front Loader, delivered 9/17/07. After doing a wash, noticed rust on the drum and the panel scrambling. Appliance Arama referred me to a Whirlpool service rep, and everything went downhill from there. After numerous calls to Whirlpool, the parts have been on order since October 5th and are on back order until November 15th. My machine has not worked since October 12th. All I get are apologies from Whirlpool.

We've had our Whirlpool Duet washer for five years, and it has been repaired 8 times for shocks alone! We've had the washer drum and electrical components replaced. The thing is a lemon! We bought the extended warranty, but the service center takes a week, but they come out. I just don't think an expensive machine should break down this often, plus we have the smell like others have reported.

I purchased a whirlpool calypso washer approximately 3 yrs ago. Shortly after the warranty expired (within a few weeks) the tub would not drain. The pump has had to be replaced twice since I have owned it. It has a very poor filtering system. Also I had washed a bathroom rug in it and the rubber around the upper rim of the tub was noted to have rough edges after washing the rug. I cannot believe such an expensive wash machine could not withstand washing a bathroom rug.

I purchased a Whirpool washer Duet 2 years ago, and I'm pretty disappointed with it because it quit on me. It gives a message of FdL, so I typed the message on line and got a lot of temporary fixes with the product but my problem did not get fix.

My whirlpool washer, not even three years old, caught on fire on Saturday. It is under an extended warranty but will cost $750 in parts plus $270 in labor to repair the machine.

We paid over $1000.00 for a front loader washer. A year later, we had to replace two parts, which were over 100.00. The icemaker has had to be replaced within a year in our refrigerator. No help from anyone at customer service.

I have lost time away from work with calls to Customer Service and repair service calls that require I take the whole day off from work and wait for their arrival. I am not salaried, so these are lost wages. And I have to spend my extra time at a laundromat. Whirlpool customer service will not take back the machine & instead increased my 12 month warranty to 15 months.

Since July, 2004 we have had to call the repair men FOUR TIMES to repair our Calypso washer. It seems to break whenever there is an urgent need for clean clothes and approximately every 6 months. I am beginning to think it has an agenda of some kind... Anyway, everytime it's stopped working we get the Ld code that flashes quickly and then nothing. Because my husband is a good negotiator we've only had to pay for partial repairs but, considering the cost of the machine, that's still unacceptable.

I have had the Caplsyo washing machine for 1 1/2 yrs. We just now noticed that it was leaking. After more investigating I noticed that the water from the washing machine had done serious damage to the cabinet next to my washing machine. Since we did not buy the extended service contract we have to get it fix ourselves. Now we have have to get our cabinet fixed -- this leak had to of been going on for an extended period of time to have that much damage due to the fact my house is only 4 yrs old. I have to say for as much as we paid for the product it is a piece of junk.

Bought Whirlpool Calypso washer and dryer several yaers ago. It has never funnctioned well, also leaving residue on washed items and rolling up the contents, such as sheets, in the dryer. I have tryed to ignore the problem but can't any longer. Others need to be aware of the poor design!!

Bought Calypso washer and dryer, in early 2005. Multiple repairs within first year. Now the machine is broken again.

We purchased the Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer in May 2004. Since purchasing, we have had to replace the rubber gasket in the washer and the heating element in the dryer. Now we have found that the inner bearing in the washer has seized and caused the shaft to erode approximately 3/8. The shaft is also rusted.

Bought my Calypso Washer Model GVW9959KQO S/N CL2919381 on 10/09/01. Back in Jan '07 the material I was washing got stuck between the plate and the drum and I was unable to pull it out. GGSL Appliance Repair replaced the plate on 1/16/07 with a 60 day warranty. On 4/8/07 the same thing happened I re-washed (5 times) happened every time until finally I gave up. Luckily I was able to pull the sheets out.

A little bit over 2 years ago we bought a Whirlpool Washer, Model No. LH0050PQ. It's a front loader and as long as it worked, which was not quite a year, I loved my washing machine. The first time it broke down it nearly burned up because the wiring was done all wrong and the electrical panel melted away. Here we are, 5 months later and again, the washing machine doesn't work.

This is the fourth time our thermal couple has gone out on our Whirlpool, Lowes purchased, gas water heater. It goes out every year!! They want to mail us a part, but it takes a week for the part to arrive. We have had to go to Lowes and buy the part and fix it. It takes approximately 3 hours to fix.

I bought a Whirlpool Calypso Washer I have had it for 5 yrs now and had a service call at least every six months, now i have the same the problem, panel displays FL or LD depending on who knows. I have tried to find parts myself to fix and whirlpool has none available. Very Terrible product

The dishwasher takes 3 hours to complete the cycle. Whirlpool sent their four appliance repair shops to fix the problem. Not only did it still take 3 hours, they each told me before I start it, I should run the water until it gets hot. Which isn't exactly energy effecient. Three outside appliance repair shops never heard of such a thing.

I purchased a whirlpool electric range (WGP8380) about 4.5 years ago. The left front burner (largest burner) stopped working two days ago. It may cost about $300.00 to replace it.

We bought the Whirlpool Duet Washer and dryer based on the excellent Consumer Reports recomendation. In 2 1/2 years we have replaced the door latch mechanism 4 times and the latch once due to the violent spin cycle. by the 4th time it seems thst they beefed up the mechanism so now the plastic latch on the door is the weak point and that broke. I replace it and one day later the mechanism is broken for the 5th time.

Whirlpool washer & dryer both broke under a year & a half after purchase, waited 3 days for washer to be fixed and 12 days for dryer, both under warranty but was put out which I didn't expect since both were brand new!

I have a calypso washer that keeps breaking down. Whirlpool tells me that because it's been 1 1/2 yrs old, it's out of warranty.

As listed by hundreds, Whirlpool Duet f/dl code pops up periodically. I know its the door lock relay in the main computer but they only sell the whole computer for $250. After spending thousands for a washer and dryer this should not happen after 13 months.

In March 2006 I purchased a very expensive Whirlpool Duet washing machine. I moved into my new home and started using the machine in May. Today, on November 29, 2006 I washed a load of delicate clothes (a small load) only to hear water gushing all over my laundry room floor. It took me an hour to clean the floor, an hour to wring the clothes out and it took the Whirlpool dryer also purchased at the time over two hours to dry them. A pair of nice pants and a blouse was ruined of course and will never be useful again.

We reported a problem with stackable washer/dryer model YLTE6234DQ5 where the dryer will not shut off in either of two automatic cycles (normal or delicate). A service repairman (Matthew from Best Rate Applicances in BC) came twice and said that the dryer should not be used in auto cycle, use only in timed cycle. The timed cycle does not offer delicate setting. The repairman said that he has contacted Whirlpool techline many times for many different owners and he has been unable to get any remedy or resolution from Whirlpool. Unit has CSA ratings for voltages 208 and 240 Volt operation. Our voltage in condo building was measured at 204 volts, which is near perfect. We would like the unit replaced with another model that will work properly in all cycles.

We purchased a Whirlpool Elite Sport front-loading wash machine in August. Since then, we've had four visits from Whirlpool authorized technicians, trying to get it to stop banging, vibrating, shaking, and actually walking across the floor. Each of them was unable to fix the problem, and each of them said that we'd have to live with it, that was simply how the washer was made. I even tried industrial anti-vibration pads under each leg; it didn't work. The floor shakes enough to make flowers move on a table in the kitchen.
