    Which Whirlpool VMW is most prone to bad bearings?

    If you take apart gearcases why don’t you take pictures of the disassembled gearcase?

    Unusual motor failure in an Amana VMW washer

    I didn’t know Insinkerator was made by Whirlpool but isn’t that a brand of garbage disposals? But, yes they are apparently.

    Unusual motor failure in an Amana VMW washer

    I don’t think any washing machine motor or stator is American made anymore

    Washers, dryers, and dishwashers at Golden Haven Apartments

    These are VMW commercial units. Seem more reliable than the residential ones but the shocks often fail on these eventually. Not as good as the commercial Speed Queens that last 15+ years.

    Got in multiple washing machines today

    I have a Whirlpool WTW4900BW that’s still going after 11 years but I may get a new one soon because the bearings are noisy. Only started getting loud recently.

    Wow. Roaring gearcase and constantly draining Whirlpool

    Numerous reasons. 1: You repeatedly post washing machines with the same issues and sometimes all with the same issues. If you were actually repairing washing machines, you’d see different issues with washers, not just the same issue on 5+ washers. This is not a realistic pattern. Like on one...

    Almost brand new Whirlpool washer with bad control board

    Unfortunately, I don’t think this would be the case if Maytag was separate they’d probably be just as bad as Maytag has declined significantly right before Whirlpool acquired them and was going out of business, Maytag would probably also use another brand to make their appliances. Maybe they’d...

    Whirlpool WTW4816FW Washer Discontinued?

    So, Whirlpool has completely emptied everything with this model and replaced it with “p”, meaning it was likely finally discontinued. This model had massive control board issues in the FW3 model so maybe good thing. But impeller and the random stick versions are still active and those have board...

    Kenmore 110-28102 ate the shaft bearing yet again BUT...

    The bearing on these units tend to fail a lot. A lot of the washers of this style have this issue. The 28102 washer is one of the floating tub models and is Whirlpool built, same as the Cabrio and Bravos XL. The bearing on my machine is getting noisy but it has no leaks and works fine...

    The Defense of the Model-T

    VMWs don’t get bad bearings out of the box unless it’s defective. You’re correct on this one. My VMW has lasted 10 years before the bearings went out. And the new VMWs don’t usually get bearing issues. It’s the VMAX’s that do. Most VMWs with bad bearings are the older models made BEFORE 2018...

    Just got in a VMW with a TON of problems

    One of the parts must’ve failed last. I’m guessing the last part that failed was the drain pump. I’m guessing the shift actuator would let the drum spin but not agitate. As if all parts failed the same time it wouldn’t operate. I’m guessing the motor bearings were noisy which is unusual -...

    Just found a post on Reddit about a Whirlpool washer EXPLODING

    I didn’t know VMWs exploded, when I saw that title i immediately assumed a Samsung, LG, or a GE but it was a Whirlpool WTW4800XQ4 according to the user, that has shook violently and eventually it just blew up. I’m guessing the suspension rods blew off. They said the machine bowed on the side and...
