Did I mention my duet dryer died like 6 years ago? It was probably TOTALLY repairable... but I replaced it with a standard WP dryer.. It was giving me an error code (I forget which one)..I understood at the time the dryer was probably fine and could be repaired... but I wanted a regular whirlpool dryer... and at that time I got mine for $300 something dollars.
About the Duet washer... Speaking of drain pumps going bad. Mine has never been touched... but I wonder if it's going... I really don't know to be honest, if it's always done this or it's something new. I'll explain:
So I'm in the laundry room folding clothes and the duet is getting ready to do the LAST spin.. As I'm folding clothes and it's trying to decide if it's satisfied to do the last spin... I see the drain hose behind the washer "shaking" more than usual.. A cord that's touching it shakes too... and it only does this WHILE it's trying to decide to spin... it stops doing it once the spin starts... and I don't see this behavior with other drains or interim spins... and it almost makes, gosh, I don't know how to describe it... sort of a knocking sound in sync with the shake (not horrible) but as I'm seeing it I'm asking myself "Has it always done this?" But it drains perfectly... who knows... I wouldn't be surprised if it's on it's last legs..
tell me... is there like a sign that a drain pump goes or does it just go on its own without any indication something might be wrong?
I would say if I were to guess the first time I noticed it was like a year ago..I just happened to be in the laundry room... since then I've taken notice if I'm in there if it does it before intermin spins and it doesn't.
