The older ones were okay I was referring to the stuff Whirlpool is manufacturing right now. Also, is it the commercial or a regular model? Of course some of the newer Kenmore and Crosley models are also constantly draining if it’s a 2023 or 2024 as some of these were from Whirlpool too. Any...

Some of the newer GE’s also seem to get into the constant drain cycle, tho it’s less common.

A lot of these 2023 and 2024 Whirlpools do this I’m seeing people report this on models made on mid-late 2024. I don’t seem to be seeing it in the 2025’s yet.

Whirlpool actually made one like this for maytag although this image of the control panel looks AI generated. Those made more options and I believe those were the MVWC700VW model. Those were direct drive and were good machines.

I liked Whirlpool for a long time, but the newest washers they make are probably even less reliable than Samsungs (at least the lower end Whirlpools)! They have a major control board issue and it’s way more common than before, I see Reddit threads about it and reviews about this issue all the...

I thought these were Amanatag

And I never see older ones do this, it’s almost always the newer ones with the suspension rods. Like when did you read something that said “my 2005 whirlpool direct drive washer exploded”, like I never have, it’s almost always a newer style top load of some type. I most commonly see it with GE’s...

VMWs actually do have balance sensors but they often don’t detect it as off balance if it’s off balance while spinning at a high RPM.

I’m guessing the suspension rods failed first, and then the balance ring did, which caused it to go out of balance violently during high speed.

Also, probably another part was bad too like the balance ring and tub, as if it’s just suspension rods the tub on these particular VMWs don’t usually swing so forcefully that it explodes. My brother has this same model and his machine never exploded it just shook due to bad rods, and since he...

I mean I see much less Whirlpools exploding than any other major brand. Explosions of whirlpool washers most commonly occurred with the older Cabrio design, The new GE’s are exploding like recalled Samsungs. Also they said the model was WTW4800XQ4, that particular model is very prone to...

Make sure to manually spin the drum and check the suspension rods on it. That’s what you need to do with VMWs.

I thought Speed Queen always used stainless drums

In general, wash tubs are pretty durable regardless of the material. It’s usually the splines or the bottom of the tub that fails. The porcelain coated tubs were the most problematic but they did hold up, they just sometimes rusted over time.

But Whirlpool still makes the porcelain tubs for these but I think some of the older stainless ones were discontinued. I personally like the stainless and even plastic drums over the porcelain coat ones since they held up better over time and didn’t rust, although no drum material is really...

It seems like this model has finally been discontinued by Whirlpool, as the Amana website has it indefinitely out of stock as it was out of stock for a while. How do you feel about this? I believe the NTW4519JW is still active. Other sellers of the item will probably not have it restocked once...

Probably more like suspension rods if it was bearings it’d be sounding like a jet like my VMW from the same time, although mine is the washplate version (WTW4900BW0). Mine isn’t banging it’s just really loud definitely bearing sound. Not same model. Probably needs new shocks which is why it’s...

I own a Whirlpool washer from 2014, and its bearings are now loud on the spin cycle. Mine is a washplate model while yours has an agitator but it’s still a VMW. Had no other issues with mine. Mine was made back when they still made VMW Cabrios and the F&P type Cabrios. My sister had a...

I’ve heard reports of Samsungs exploding and banging but I’ve never seen a top loading Samsung with noisy bearings. That’s a new one. Usually when I see something that says “Samsung washer sounds like a jet engine” it’s a front loader.

The dancing washer is back at it again! He replaced all four rods about a year ago and he says it has already started to shake again. I asked where did he get the rods and he said Amazon. Model WTW4800XQ4 for his machine. The bearing also seems noisy on this thing but he says it is shaking a...
