Me and Youtuber (and former) member ScantPear2004 are decent friends online and I just got a call from him that his all mechanical Whirlpool Catalyst suffered an electrical failure and "exploded" The wires are burned on the ends and It was described to me as an arcing and popping sound with a pop and some sparks appearing inside the machine. I have no clue what could have caused this kind of failure, I sure as heck hope it doesn't happen to my 1989 Kenmore 80 Series washer as well. Though ScantPear2004 seems to mess with the controls often so that could have contributed to this failure, I never mess with the controls. I just start the machine and let it go. I would expect this kind of failure with a modern garbage Scamsung washer not a 2000's Whirlpool Direct Drive.
