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...

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...

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...

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...

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 -...

The newer GE units also seem explosion-prone

My favorite washers are: Whirlpool direct drive Maytag dependable care GE filter flo Whirlpool belt drive

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...

You don’t need to make posts about Whirlpool washers over and over again. If you keep doing this your account will be reported.

But VMWs are better than HydroWaves and Model-Ts, the reason why you see those with more issues is because the VMWs are much more common.

VMWs are one of the most common washing machines so as a result they have the most reported issues. Washers like the GE Model-Ts and HydroWaves are kind of dying down so those now are less commonly repaired than before.

Not a huge fan of this design, but GE used shipping rods instead of styrofoam or protective film on the control board. This type of design was used on their Model-Ts and HydroWaves, as well as their current stackables. I’m guessing the reason why GE used these in their washers is because they...

He probably works at a repair yard

I don’t actually have any of those machines because I’m not a repair professional Maytaglover68 might tho

Lol this was a parody comment for what MaytagLover68 does I’m not a Technician like them and I don’t have those washers but I’m just an example of what they do. I don’t know why they just comment on the same post instead of post threads and I don’t know why they include all model numbers.

I can get one for the WTW4816FW3 but not WTW5010LW0 Also, I got in more Whirlpool made washers today. Maytag MVW7232HW0 washer (made on 9th week of 2021). Bearings are roaring - very loud on the spin cycle. Roared like an airplane. Not work fixing. Maytag MVWB835DW4 washer (made on 15th week...

This is a friend where I’ve never been to whose house before, I went in his laundry room, only to find his 2023 Whirlpool WTW4855HW3 washer constantly draining. This seems to be a very common failure with these washing machines. I believe Whirlpool now offers these boards for free. Basically...

I don’t know either. When he goes to work and works on appliances he just lists the washers to show everyone the issues with them

I’m disappointed in them, never used one but I’ve watched videos and they have ZERO rollover and do not get clothes clean, the tub on those just swoosh around. No action from the agitator at all. Although I own a VMW, I still get clean clothes. While this Speed Queen TR series, the agitator is...
