Your washer has bad bearings That loud noise on the spin cycle is not normal and means your bearings are bad and to fix it you’ll need to change the entire transmission. My Whirlpool WTW4900BW0 that is now 11 years old is having the same problem. You can replace it with a Speed Queen or a...

My mother (71 years old) had her 27-year-old Kenmore direct drive machine finally break, so she bought a Whirlpool WTW4955HW1 washer and WED4950HW0 electric dryer off of Facebook marketplace for $200. She said the listing said they were in new condition. But she said the washing machine was...

You’re very lucky to have a still working top loading Neptune The Maytag Neptune top load washers are rarely found to be working, and almost every top loading Neptune that’s even found is broken. Those were horribly made machines.

The older Whirlpool-built Maytags weren’t bad For a while, Whirlpool actually made direct drives under the Maytag brand, and those were reliable. In fact, I actually like those better than the Whirlpool or Kenmore branded direct drives as they sometimes have stainless steel drums. Although I...

This machine was a 2017 model year according to its serial number

I found a Whirlpool washer model WTW4816FW1 at my sister’s house, I went over the other day and i found that the washer was very loud on the spin cycle. My brother-in-law said “it’s supposed to sound like that” and that it “spins really fast”, but it’s definitely not. There is a link to a...

In my opinion, Maytag has gone bad well before Whirlpool has acquired them, and Whirlpool did NOT ruin the company, in fact they saved it. The Maytag Neptunes as well as the dependable care replacements were unreliable and terrible machines. The top loading Neptune was so unreliable that it’s...

I am wondering what washer brand seems to be the most reliable (besides Speed Queen). I’ve heard that the Samsung washing machines are very unreliable so I’m not going to include that. But out of the three manufacturers (GE, Whirlpool, Samsung). GE isn’t even their own company anymore...

They’ll only get worse, too. All of the newer Whirlpools that have the six LED lights under the timer seem to be known for this issue, but I’m not sure about the fancier ones but those had control board problems in the past where the washer would just go right into drain and complete the cycle...

I have four friends with newer whirlpool washing machines (WTW4950HW3, WTW4955HW3, WTW4816FW3, and WTW4957PW0), all continuously draining due to bad control boards. I hate how Whirlpool has declined in recent years. Three of them are 2023 machines, the WTW4957PW0 is a 2024 model. My Whirlpool...

My friend has said that her Whirlpool WTW4816FW3 top load washer she bought in January, 2024 is continuously draining and that the technician said it’s due to a bad control board. My other friend is apparently having the same issue with his Whirlpool WTW4950HW3 washing machine. I’m disappointed...

My friend has said that his Whirlpool WTW4816FW3 top load washer he bought in January, 2024 is continuously draining and that the technician said it’s due to a bad control board. My other friend is apparently having the same issue with his Whirlpool WTW4950HW3 washing machine. I’m disappointed...

I don’t think whirlpool will be over but they’ve been declining recently, their newest washing machines seem to be prone for control board failures.

The model number of his washer is WTW4800XQ4

He says he bought it back in 2013, he says it makes a very loud noise on the spin cycle with no vibrations so it’s likely bad bearings, and that he recently replaced the suspension rods on his unit. He says on spin cycle, it makes a very loud noise and sounds like an airplane taking off, which...

I looked it up and according to my serial number it is a 2014 model

I think it’s a 2014.

I have an older Whirlpool belt driven top load washer, it’s very loud on the spin cycle but it otherwise works fine. Mine is the WTW4900BW0 model. Members in the community have told me that I likely have a bearing issue, but I’m not fixing it as it’s an older machine. Mine is also the washplate...

Unfortunately, this is a common issue with this model. All the newer Whirlpools seem to be known for control board failures. All of the belt driven Whirlpool washers use a computer board, older models tend to use a better control board than the new models. It’s best to avoid the new Whirlpool...

I’m strictly a top load user, I don’t like front loaders and I never have. The seals are prone to getting stinky and they tend to have more problems. I have a Whirlpool WTW4900BW0 top load high efficiency washer, and a matching WED4850BW0 electro dryer. Washer has a bad bearing but the dryer...
