Giving away whirlpool Cabrio WTW5700XWO

[747flyer]

Hello all. First my apologies to your webmaster Robert for me joining your forum for the purpose of getting rid of a washer. I'm not selling I'm giving away, not sure that makes it any better.

I have a Whirlpool Cabrio model WTW5700XWO serial CO290553 that I am giving away. I'm sure you all know its a fairly new model. Nothing is wrong with the machine other than its HE quirks. No need to explain that to you all. I have a front load washer in the basement and soon a whirlpool TL in my first floor laundry. The machine is now in my basement, if interested you will need to bring it up from there, you need 2 people.

I live in the 516 area of New York. I'm including a few pictures I have. I hope I don't mess that up. I think my email address is in my profile. Here it is if not [email protected]

Thank you! Bob PS I would like the machine out ASAP. If interested we can discuss which days are best.

I wonder what it would take to convert it from an HE to a non-HE machine?

 

[wp-dude22]

agreed i wonder wat language the washers software is coded in since you can order the older cabrio's agitator and just reprogram the water level sensor so that it fills more would be a perfect machine ...... pic of agitator below

if the it can be recoded it would make a cool non he washer

 

[wp-dude22]

im in the caribbean to bad ... would love this for my mom and to do some coding practice and also to see this washers software

No one is interested?

I wish someone would take this machine. Its a fun washer to play with. I also have an extra, (not sure what you call it) lid lock? When I got the machine the glass had a scratch, so they gave me a new lid. So I removed the switch thing. You can watch it with the lid open. I can sweeten the deal with an Avanti model W798SS.Also free. The Avanti is what I am using right now. Anyone?

If you're willing to pay the shipping to South Africa, send it! Hahaha

You fly 747s? Fascinating. I watched Pan Am training flights off Diamond Head, Oahu in the late 60s. I flew Cessnas and Pipers until it got too expensive.

Repost in Super. As I understand, it gets more traffic than Deluxe, even though this would otherwise be the correct forum for a modern washer. Cross posting is discouraged but as you're only trying to find a home for it free I don't think anyone would object.

Thanks!

Thanks arbilab! I just dont want to annoy anyone by posting in the wrong forum. I will keep the post for another few days then I guess I will delete it if I can.

Unfortunately I don't fly 747's, just in love with commercial aviation, with the 747 being my favorite. Part of my email address has L-1011 in it, another great plane. Thanks again for the advice. Bob

lmao if your willing to send it to the Caribbean and pay the shipping fine and wait till i fedex u back your shipping charge no probs lol how come you want to give it away dude ? and question is this model belt drive or F&P direct drive with the motor as the belt drives has issues with water level

 

[747flyer]

?

Where did I say I was willing to ship it to the Caribbean? I would think you would know if its direct drive or belt, no? And Im giving it away because Im a nice guy. And its an HE washer, I would say most HE washers today have issues with water levels. Dont you think so,dude?

Question

Does anyone know how I can delete this post since Im not an upgraded member? Maybe a contact to Robert? I thought I was doing something nice by giving 2 washers away to people who I thought would appreciate it, instead I have received 2 really nasty emails from people questioning my motive. In the past I have sold several washers and a dishwasher to a member here, all very new appliances and at a price that was pretty much a give away. And trust me, you all know who they are. So right now I feel really hurt. I guess you live and learn that being nice means nothing!

 

[arbilab]

Bob, I haven't a clue what the motive might be for nasty emails. What could possibly be the ulterior motive for GIVING AWAY working laundry equipment? If those came from within the membership then I'm embarrassed for the membership.

Yes the Cabrio has issues, hardly any "modern" machine hasn't and it's by no means a secret. How does that plus "free" qualify as ulterior? I just don't get it.

My brother was in school to become a 727 pilot, but the industry changed and the platform was retired from US transport service. He ended up a top-10-market deejay making much more money (until the format changed 3 years ago) but his heart was really in the '27. My heart was in the Ampex ACR25 but that got retired too. .

Sorry to hear that you got those nasty e-mails.

You should repost them here with the name of the individuals who did it to shame them. This isn't typical of this community.

I don't care if I get flamed.. Free is free and we should be grateful that you are giving them away. Especially if they work properly.

Thanks for making the post with pictures anyway.

Whats wrong with people today?

Have we reached the point in life where we can no longer accept a gift???

What an ungrateful bunch surely if someone in good grace offers a machine working or not then it should be accepted as such?

Its a shame you do not have the Freecycle websites we have in the UK an offer like yours would have resulted in a full mail box

I hope you won't become dissalusioned by your response!
