Oh, I never saw that!
And, he even ADMITTED he had a matress pad in there. So we once again have the doubt of wrong use, or at least a special load situation.

I've seen that video as well, and I know there are a couple of -negative- Cabrio/Bravos/Oasis videos out there. All of them either clearly admitted what they had done wrong, although they may not think it was wrong themselves, or the machines look like they've been beat to hell and back already and have scum built up all over, which is also a clear indicator of neglect. That goes for any machine, period.
I was taught to never leave the washer unattended when washing any large objects like comforters and mattress pads, etc. Even with machines that seem to be built like tanks and handle imbalances well, like the Maytag Atlantis did, we still never left ear-range just to listen for telltale sounds and could hop over and rearrange to make sure everything went well the first go around.
I do the same with the BravOasis (can't decide between BrOasis and BravOasis, lol) if I ever have the comforters or blankets washing. When it starts to drain I just peek in, assure that it is successfully starting to spin without bumping the sides of the cabinet, and if it needs, I just pop it open, spread things around a little better, and let it go. While I know the machine can sense things like this enough to avoid them, I'd rather not risk the damage or wear it could cause up until that point.

poppycock,
If I can't even wash a matress pad?
Yes I have in fact, just not by it self, and it was on the bulky cycle. No need of a fast spin as it is not ass dense as sheets. It has breathing holes, so doesn't retain as much water.
No worries getting a little wild with the K Y is there?
Oooowwwhh, did I say that?

If you did so, you did it right.
But the video might be the result of somebody not takeing the least care.

Greg, Henrik,
I don't know if they hate us, and I bet there are at least a few of us working in Clyde Ohio for Whirlpool.
Let's be clear on one point though. I don't like my washing machine.
It saves no water or electricity by draining and re filling trying to balance a load of laundry.
Some "Energy Star" appliance. I think it means it shreds easily for the recycle company.

Not All Mattress Pads
Not all mattress pads are created equal. Some of them have a moisture barrier to protect the mattress from spills and/or other accidents. These types are problematic for these new HE top loaders.

I had this happen with a post filter flo GE washer washing pillows though not as bad. It did crack the outer tub and break the tub straps moving it a few feet but the machine did not come apart.
I am sure user error plays a role, but this type of stuff you dont hear about to the in vintage machines.

Spin-Sploding Washers
Hi Malcolm, yes it is the mattress covers that have either a plastic membrane or plastic cover that is casing this problem.
New TL and FL washers do not have an out-of-balance switch, but rather they rely on the computer sensing uneven motor current to tell if a load is balanced. This system works great, the problem is the load goes out-of-balance when the machine spinning at speeds over 8000 RPMs when the plastic mattress covers plastic moisture barrier ruptures and suddenly releases the water causing the fast spinning load to become balanced. Standing over the washer to try to turn it off will not help, in fact you may be hurt anymore than you can stop a speeding car by walking out in front of it, LOL.
Even a heavily built machine like a Frigidaire Uni-Matic could be badly damaged by one of these plastic membraned mattress covers. The main thing in favor or older machines were their smaller diameter tubs so it would be difficult to get a large mattress cover on just one side of the washers tub.

My matress pad is that,
and posed no problem on hand wash or the bulky cycle on low spin.

If you don't like your machine so much, why don't you find something different? Once again we have a case of someone writing off an entire brand of machines just because of a few problems they heard through the grapevine about one particular design, that were user error to begin with.
And to honestly believe Samsung would be a better choice? Okay, good luck.

Andrew,
I will when it quits working. Money doesn't grow on trees you know.
Aren't you the kid who hates his parents Samsung refrigerator?
Our son is you age, and until last year, also though money grew on trees.

My point was that while you seem to hate the machine, yet claim that it hasn't actually done anything wrong, list it on Craigslist or a similar outlet, and perhaps even check around that same outlet for something used that will fit your requirements, but I thought your sassy response was a nice touch. 
You seem quick to throw out these age "insults" everytime someone takes a breath, twice now towards me I might add, when literally nothing relating to "age" or "experience" was even remotely part of the conversation, so might I pour you a bit of enlightenment tea..?
My* Samsung refrigerator, that I own myself. I'm not sure where you got "parents'", never made a mention of any such.
Also, seeing as how you just popped up around here last month, and are clearly making no efforts to get to know anyone, I'll give you a little insight: I know all too well that money doesn't grow on trees. Haven't had a penny granted to me by my parents since the age of 16, and because we didn't have very much in the first place during my childhood, there wasn't much given before that either. I mowed yards and did any number of odd jobs I could starting around age 13, to help buy groceries, and because I wanted us to have -nice- cleaning supplies around the house, like nice laundry detergent so we didn't have to continue using cheap Sun from the Dollar Tree. Sometimes I gave what I had to help turn the utilities or the phone back on. Fast forward to today, and everything I have owned, every car I've owned from the little used '95 Saturn SL1, the 2001 Honda Accord EX-L V6, up to the now 2015 Accord Touring V6 that had 12 miles on the odometer when the key fob hit the palm of my hand, has been paid for by every cent I've earned myself by working to the bone to bring myself up from the situation I was in growing up. That includes the very house I'm in that I had built in 2013 and every piece of furniture and appliance within it. So, in response to your "this generation has no appreciation or concern for hard work and responsibility"-esque comments, I couldn't honestly care less that I am "your son's age" or what you or your son think. It holds absolutely no relevancy to me. Have a blessed day.[this post was last edited: 3/9/2016-16:43]

Andrew,
yes, I am blessed, and I do not pass my junk off unto others who may need a dependable machine.
Maybe I should bring out a quality washer that is built to last.
Think I can survive the global junk infusion?
Can Whirlpoo stop me?
How do you know who I know or don't know?

Members of AW do not go around bashing each other. In your short time here many see you as being a know--it-all who isn't always right, always has to get the last word in and not as knowledgeable as you seem to see yourself.
I've been a member for 10 years and yes, I've been corrected from time to time, but I don't take it personally as you seem to do. I'm not as in to washers as I am into ranges, dishwashers and the ever wonderful vacuum. I only post when I know I have something I know will add to the conversation that I can say with REAL knowledge. Please be respectful of other members and their vast amounts of knowledge before you want to take them down a peg. Courtesy and respect is all we ask!

Greg,
I can take the criticism, unlike Andrew. Do I sound like a know it all? I never claim to be, as I have thanked several members for their information.
Also, you are almost correct, I am never right, only always LEFT!
Did you read Andrews arrogant advice on that I should get rid of it by pedaling it to an unsuspecting person on Craigslist? How exactly did Andrew "not" bash me, and how exactly did I bash him?
My fathers best friend was a Whirlpool engineer, back in the day, when they made good machines.
Half nice day!

Also Greg,
it must be like a mirror, because by you calling me a know it all is also bashing me. See?
Why not simply ignore the post?
