My favorite washer is personally the Maytag dependable care following the direct drives from Whirlpool. I also like Speed Queen washers and the GE Filter Flos. I now own a direct drive and it’s a great machine I’d still love to get a dependable care. The reason why my username is...

This was my favorite washing machine of all time, even better than the Whirlpool direct drives. They lasted at least 25 years if properly maintained, much longer than any new machine. They also had great cleaning action. They cleaned well but weren’t as aggressive as direct drives. Maytag...

I was originally going to buy a Speed Queen TC5 but that was too expensive so I got a used direct drive instead. Still a great machine.

The Speed Queen TC5 is actually a good modern washer but I can’t have an opinion on the TR series but I’ve worked on some. Not too sure about how good the TR is but that also seems well built. Speed Queen washers are built like tanks but are pretty expensive and they will last 25 years on...

LG fridges are junk, I keep trashing them for bad compressors. They are so unreliable. Even a Samsung fridge is better than an LG at this point. If you want a reliable fridge, just get a Whirlpool, GE, or Frigidaire. Get anything but LG.

I have one of the last direct drives. I owned a 1990s Kenmore direct drive before the VMW and that was a great machine too.

I had to deal with my horrible Whirlpool VMW WTW5000DW3 washer for 6 years, the bearing is bad and eventually the hub went out. I decided to get a new washer instead of fixing this one. It had the impeller and didn’t wash great. It also had spray rinsing. The bearing went out and eventually the...

I now usually get the newer GE’s and the Whirlpool VMWs for repairs, I got several VMWs today (none of them roaring today and most were repairable this time). I got in this 2004 GE Model-T WCSR4170D5WW, they said it wasn’t spinning and I had to remove a sock from the pump, a sock got stuck in...

And I got a few more roarers today. So many bad gearcases in this load. One is a Maytag MVWX700XL1 (made on 31st week of 2011). This one was roaring very loud during spin cycle Maytag MVWB835DW4 (made on 42nd week of 2019). Roaring on spin cycle, bad bearings in gearcase. Amana NTW4605EW0 (made...

At this point I’m liking the newer GE’s over the Whirlpools. GE Has cheaper parts and don’t have the same control board issues. The newest Whirlpools will constantly drain and throw an F3E1 That Whirlpool I got in is probably the most problems I’ve ever seen in a junk washer.

I got in a 🗑️ Whirlpool WTW5000DW3 washer (made on 14th week of 2021) with bad motor bearings, a bad drain pump, bad suspension rods, a stripped basket hub, worn gearcase splines, wallowed out center sleeve, and a bad shift actuator. also had dings and scratches. This is probably the most...

In Whirlpool’s website. Price of parts for that washer (WTW5000DW3). Motor: $255.41 Shift actuator: $64.58 Basket hub: $27.94 Gearcase: $258.07 Suspension rods: $140.94 Drain pump: $206.82 Neu Basket Bushing: $22.59 Apparently the pump is bad too as it wouldn’t drain either. That’s over 9

That Whirlpool WTW5000DW3 I got in is like $600 to repair. That one’s a no-fix. This one had so many issues. It also apparently had a bad actuator so it wouldn’t agitate properly. Motor bearings shot too on this one. Transmission bearing is good but the splines are stripped.

For a while I didn’t get any roarers. Until now where I got in a lot. A lot of roarers in this load. Whirlpool VMWs. So many goners. I just got in a 🗑️ Whirlpool WTW5000DW3 washer (made on 14th week of 2021) with worn gearcase splines, motor bearings, drive hub, suspension rods, washplate was...

Just got in a 2023 Whirlpool WTW6150PW0 washer, once it spun I heard the bearing. It has bad bearings, despite it being a 2023 machine. This is a newer VMAX style. Do you hear that in the video? The person who gave it to me said that it’s been well taken care of and that it was purchased a year...

What is your opinion on the MVW7232H/MVW7230H. The reason why I’m not saying the full number is because there are two variants, “HC” and “HW”, which are the same exact machines except for the color. Anyways, I don’t like these newer VMAX machines because they don’t rinse well in my opinion and...

This was a washer that was released in 2010 and is still manufactured today. Not a fan of them and are prone to many problems, some of the most frequent problems I encounter with them is the suspension rods, splutch, or the shift actuator. Another very common failure for these is a loud...

My dryer is matching to the washer (model WED5000DW2)

I don’t understand why Whirlpool puts plastic hubs on their machines, they frequently strip out. This washplate Will probably be a pain to take off when I’m out of work. I already get enough of those things off, now I’ll have to do it on my own machine.

As of right now the drive hub just stripped out on my 2019 Whirlpool WTW5000DW3 washer. Washplate moves independently from the drum. When it tries to spin it makes a weird noise and clothes come out soaked. The drive hubs aren’t too expensive but the bearings are also shot on my machine as it...
