Whirlpool Washing Machines Reviews

Purchased a Whirlpool Calypso washing machine. Got a CE code (communications error). Was told that the chip needed to be replaced. Was very expensive $300+. Machine was just past warrenty. That was a year ago, I am getting the same code again. Don't buy this piece of junk!

Three weeks ago we bought a new stackable Whirlpool washer/dryer combo. From the first moment of installation, the dryer hasn't worked (no heat). Obviously, it is defective and should be replaced. However, Whirlpool's staunch policy is that they don't replace, only repair. So, we sit and wait and wait for their local contract service guy to (1) diagnose the problem, (2) order the part, (3) have the part shipped, and (4) get around to installing the part. Assuming that the diagnosis is correct and the repair is successful, this whole process will take a total of 5 weeks.

I am sending this letter to file a complaint regarding mold in my Whirlpool Duet Front Load Washer that was purchased in February 2004. There has been a musty smell coming from the washing machine and, for months, I could not locate where it was coming from. The smell has been located and it is coming from under the rubber lip to the mouth of the drum. There is mold all over the inside of the rubber lip that is not noticeable unless the rim is pulled back entirely. Regardless of me keeping the washer door open and wiping down the inside of the washing machine after each load, the mold has still continued to grow. This is a major health issue not only to my husband and I but also to our young child.

My Whirlpool Calypso washer, less than 2 years old, has already had a pump replaced. It also has the smell of mold. I threw away several articles of clothing, not to mention rewashed many loads.

I purchased a Whirpool Super capacity washing machine on 15July2005. Since May 15th 2006 the unit has had three service calls ranging from replacing the water pump, transmission and clutch assembly. Once these repairs were made, two days later the repair man had to come out once again and repair an electrical connection inside the unit. Then three days later the unit began to leak water.

I purchase a CALYPSO Washer & Dryer in April 2005 and since then the washer has broken down three times. The service person said it was from us washing our bathroom rugs.

I purchased a Whirlpool washer (model # LSQ9659) in Dec. 2003. When the machine was one month out of warranty the spin cycle started making a loud slamming noise. I called the dealer who sold us the machine and they sent a repairman to our home. They had to replace the drive block. I phoned Whirlpool and at first was told that since the machine was out of warranty, I had no recourse. After a lengthly phone call, they agreed to pay the dealer directly for the repair. Now, one year later, the machine started to make the same loud slamming noise during the spin cycle. I again phoned the dealer and they sent a repairman. He diagnosed the same problem, a bad drive block, but because of the way the machine was spinning, two other parts, the basket drive and motor coupling needed to be replaced immediately. The outside basket is nearly worn through because of this.

I purchased a Whirlpool Duet washing machine in August 2005. It worked for 3 weeks, and then stopped working due to a computer problem. I called Whirlpool to schedule service under the warranty. The technician came a week later and stated he needed to order parts. Two weeks have gone by, and the part finally came in today. Apparently, Whirlpool had the parts on back order.

I purchased a Whirlpool Calypso washer on 7/6/04. Early on I noticed it was causing pulls on towels and pulling the fibers from bathroom rugs. Thinking I was doing something wrong I contined trying different wash selections but the problem continued. In February, 2005 I called Whirlpool asking what setting to use for washing towels as the washer was ruining them. They had no real suggestion but said to try gentle. Who ever heard of washing towels on a gentle cycle? In April,2005 the unit would not draing the water out and it was leaking on the floor.

I purchased a Whirlpool Duet Washer/Dryer last October, $2,000, and was very pleased UNTIL this Spring when I started washing my delicate, light weight, clothing. The washer is beating my clothes to death. I have read the manual and use the delicate/casual and even hand wash cycle but they are coming out flimsy and wrinkled.

i am complianing about the calypso washing machine. i purchased the unit 2.5 years ago and have nothing but problems with it. it vibrates excessevly and knots the laundry up, litterly tearing the cloths a few times. whirlpool has told me i'm using the wrong detergent (i use tide) or it's not leveled, i put a level on it to make sure it was. bottom line, all I get is the run around!

Have had my new Calypso washer since 4/17/04. Three weeks ago, I'm washing clothes and I get this LD message on the control panel. Apparently this washer has a serious pump defect. Repairman has been out twice and hasn't fixed it. Parts are now on order. I haven't had to go to a laundromat in 30 years and I've been twice in the last three weeks. I am not happy. And I have no idea (nor does the authorized repair center) when I might expect to have the luxurey of a washer in my home again. I had my last washer (inexpensive Kenmore) for 16 years with never a service call. I gave the set to my son when I got the new Calypso set (very expensive). He is still washing clothes at home and has offered me the use of my old washer. I'm too embarrased to accept.
