Three broken whirlpool appliances within two years
First of all the reviewer is a total idiot. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Let’s take the refrigerator first, his comments about the fill tube for the icemaker being a bad design are ridiculous. Every icemaker has been made like that since the 1950s and do not have trouble with the tube freezing up Unless there is a water flow problem caused by a bad water connection at the household plumbing. I’m glad he’s not engineering products, lol.
It does appear the refrigerator has a problem running all the time if it’s freezing all the food he did not mention what was done to address the problem, but obviously they must have a goofball repair company too if they’re putting up with frozen foodthat could be a stuck relay on the control board for example and yes, it does appear that the evaporator fan motor may have failed. That’s pretty darn unusual in a refrigerator that knew. Next. That could be a stuck relay on the control board for example and yes, it does appear that the evaporator fan motor may have failed. That’s pretty darn unusual in a refrigerator that new.
The dishwasher it’s hard to say what caused the failure of the membrane for the controls. He wasn’t very pacific. They could’ve been damaged by sloppy use and getting enough stuff spilled in it. I suppose the steam from the dishwasher does not affect them, and the so-called Noisi drain pump was probably a piece of broken glass in it. Whirlpool uses the same drain pumps that everybody else from Bosch to Meile there’s no great problem with drain pumps.
The range did indeed seem to have a stuck or welded contact on the broil relay the type of relays that are used in this range or the same as every other range made today it is not a bad design. They do not have only a 10,000 activation life cycle.
He’s very wrong when he said that the relay cycle on and off several minutes every time the oven is on, the bake relay stays on until the oven gets to 350. The broil relay is cycled on and off about once per minute to add a little bit of top heat, so it’s not surprising that the broil relay would be more likely to fail, it’s possible this house was struck with a voltage surge which ruined the relay in both the range and the refrigerator.
He’s a complete idiot when he looks at the board and said they put an eight-year-old part in it that’s the copyright date of when that board was designed that he was looking at right next to it. You’ll see that the board was actually made the 30th week of 2022.
I do fault, whirlpool for not offering more assistance to customers who have problems early with their appliances the amount of damage people like this due to their reputation is considerable, but none of these are considered low end or troublesome appliances, buying more expensive brands would only increase the risk of problems like these.
