Sears Authorized Repairers qualin, One of our local appliance repairer's recently told me that they no longer touch anything 'Kenmore' unless specifically asked to do so by the local authorized Sears repairer who, incidentally, operates from his home.

Broken Spiders combo52, I have only ever come across one thread, originating in the UK, where the poster claimed to have seen several fractured spiders with no corrosion. Said poster however did not respond to my query regarding make and model details. As for WP liability we will let the...

Duet Sport & He2 Spider Fractures combo52 Have you seen any of these spiders that have fractured but have no corrosion? I understand that some of the larger WP built machines have a spider similar to that in the that in the 'Sports/He2's' have you seen any of those fractured and/or corroded...

Video of Fractured Spider Running Here is what one machine with a fractured spider sounded like

Corrosion & Fracturing of Duet Sport and He2 Spiders combo52 Thank you for that. I guess that Whirlpool's change of material and geometric design of spider (cross piece) did not solve the problem(s) as per pages 18 and 19 at the link below...

simpler than the spider and more probable.... aquarius1984 Quite agree. Re-reading my post I realize that I did not make is absolutely clear that the strip down was only required if the there was vertical movement possible between the two drums. Thanks for pointing that out.

Has anyone seen, or heard of corrosion and/or fracturing of the spiders fitted to the above Whirlpool manufactured machines? Thank you.

Broken Spider Sounds very much like it. Try vertically lifting the inner drum relative to the outer. There should be virtually no discernible relative movement. Turn the drum through 90 degrees and repeat the test. Do this twice more, turning the drum in the same direction each time. Any...

Sears whirlcool, combo52 The guy with the dryer may be interested in the comments of "IAMCERTIFIABLE" at the link below. http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/questions/333235-happened-sears-love?page=2

Spin Speed and Water Extraction Launderess, What is the diameter of the drums in the machines at your 'local' and what is the diameter of drum in your Miele at home? The other factor is what are the actual rotational speeds, not what is printed on the labels? The relationship between the...

Spin Speed And Water Extraction It is not the spin speed alone that determines the centrifugal force that acts on the water to remove it from the laundry. The diameter of the drum is also a factor. The smaller the drum the faster it has to rotate to generate the same centrifugal force as a...

Spider Failures PassatDoc. You may remember some of my contributions from a couple of years back and in that regard be interested in what Whirlpool claim that they have done to help eliminate foul odors and spider corrosion in their front load washers. The following is a judges "Decision" for...

Bearings And/Or Spider newwave1 That sounds as though you have a fractured spider as well. The regular 'clicking' which seems to be in time with the speed increase would indicate something happening at the same point every revolution. Bearings on their own normally just seem to be a 'roar' of...

Extended Warranties Well denisec you should have got the message by now. One thing I would add to combo's comment above is that most of these 'extended warranties' only go on for so long and should your machine still be working at the end of it, and you have paid for the extended warranty very...

Spares & Service For LG and Samsung For once combo and I agree on almost everything. The spares availability for both Samsung and LG leaves much to be desired and unless there is an authorized servicer, for the brand chosen, close to your friend, I would stay away. As combo says most of the...

Manufacturer's and Users' C|ommon Sense To combo52 For once I have to agree with everything you said. Now that is a first!

Parrafin/Kerosene fridges To Maytagbear and mieleforever Thank you. I was not aware they were available in North America and as I said the only one I have ever seen was in S. Africa.

Kerosene Refrigerator To mieleforever I know it is a little bit off topic but about 40 years ago I saw a parrafin/kerosene refrigerator in South Africa it is the only one I have ever seen. Do you know if they are still available or anything else about them.
