I have the Duet version which is identical mechanically and I have never had a problem with the door latch, although the circuit board is about to go. (We never unplug it during thunderstorms, the dryer now beeps randomly and constantly while it runs, almost like a twitch!) The only thing replaced on my Duet was the pump, but that's because it was defective to begin with.

Another thing I discovered, the softner is not dispensed in the final rinse????? It's dispensed on the next to last rinse it this normal? | ||

My Duet doesn't usually do that. However, the dispenser on my Duet is a piece of shit in my opinion! I quite often caught the machine dispensing the softener as it ramped up to spin and immediately drained it all away! I don't trust the machine to dispense anything but detergent anymore. I've taken to using the soak cycle and the drain and spin only cycle to get my clothes clean. I'll do a soak with detergent, then do a drain and spin on full speed (900RPM on my Duet) then do another shorter soak with fabric softener and another final spin. I see no need for multiple rinses seeing as how I never fill the machine full and the soak fills nearly halfway anyway!

Ensemble dispenser
I love my kitchenAid Ensemble washer and dryer!However(now mind you these are now 3 years old and have been moved to 4 different homes since purchased.)The dispenser tray is built like the ElCheapo Frigiscares and Kantmores.Thhere is a plastic armiture that is connected to the manual as well as the electronic timer wheels on each model.this connection has the wheel move the armiture which directs the fresh-water spray to the correct area in the dispenser tray to mix the water with the additive in that particular part of the dispenser.Other models like the higher end Frigidaire and the models they make for competitors have the solinoids to direct the water flow correctly.The solinoids work 100%better and are more direct and precise.The "manual"types that are physicly connected to the timer can get out of line and miss or dispense the wrong additive.Mine one day saved the bleach and spotted all my colors!!!!I was pissed because Whirlpool would only reemberse me $50!When I had the GE Profile set,I had no problem with dispensing at the wrong time or leaving any trace of water behind.you would think that at $1399 as apposed to $599,Whirlpool would at least put a better style dispenser in their "Golden Goose"
