the motor from the washer just popped for the third time, although the machine was under warranty the first time, each repair cost me a few hundred dollars and that's not counting the only shabby Whirlpool repair service in my area, they make appointments but they don't show up.

More than six months

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This washer was intially a wonderful machine. I use the washer once a week for three years. Without notice, the washer stopped working in the middle of a load of wet clothes. The washer made a humming noise and performed no functions. Based on the brand and price, I am very disappointed.

Comment:
I have to say when I purchased this duet I assumed the Whirlpool name was confirmation of an awesome product. I was WRONG! It was extremely loud; it sounded like a jet taking off and it shook even after multiple leveling. Not to my surprise, it finally broke. The whole laundry room smelled of burnt metal/plastic. I followed correct repair process through Whirlpool and I got only a run-around. They need to recall this washer. I have read only poor reviews with exactly the same scenario...Buyer Beware! Sounds like a great bundle, but expect a nightmare just a few short months after purchasing!
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Needs bearings replaced every two or three months
I purchased this machine in August 2010. Soon after purchasing, the machine started to make a noise that grew louder and louder. The technician came out and said the bearings had to be replaced. For anyone that may not know, this is NOT a small repair. It basically involves taking the machine apart and replacing the two big tubs. Once the parts arrived they came out to fix the machine and almost immediately, it started to make noise again. The technician came once more and told me that the bearings had to be replaced yet again. Unfortunately, I didnt buy this machine from Lowes, but from US-Appliance on the internet. I asked them to replace the machine and they refused. Ive called Whirlpool several times and theyve also refused to do anything, or show any concern whatsoever. Thankfully I purchased the machine with my AMX and was able to have the charge removed from my card and I am now shipping the machine back. Its ridiculous that a new washing machine wont work for more than a couple of months at a time without breaking down. I opted not to buy the extended service plan. I shouldnt have to buy and extended plan in order to get through the first few years with the machine. Its new and it should work. The machine came with a one year plan, but Ive lost all confidence in the machine. I certainly dont want to be stuck with it after the one year contract is over. Replacing the bearings is a $900.00 job and I could buy a brand new machine with that. Im very disappointed with the customer service and attitude Ive received from Whirlpool. I will not be buying anything else from them. For those of you who are happy with this machine, you are very lucky and are probably the exception more than the rule. I think the machine should be recalled. My service technician said this is one of the worst machines hes seen and that he is constantly repairing them. Buy this machine if you like to gamble. If not, please buy from a different manufacturer than Whirlpool. Whirlpool now owns several other brands so make sure you research to see which brands are owned by them. If this is representative of their quality, I dont want to risk good money on anything they produce.
