Hi Matt

Thanks for that, it's always great to see other's washers. I have a front loader Whirlpool WM1400. I will take a film of that one day and see how it compares with yours.

Take care

Rob

Hi Matt,
Great video thank you.
Please check the Motor mounts on your Whirlpool, they have a tendency to work loose and allow the Motor to jiggle about making that knocking noise. The part is called the Motor Bush kit and should cost no more than a few Dollars and are easy to fit; the new bushes are modified to prevent future failures.

Your machine is similar to the UK Whirlpool Inspirations series, they were good machines with excellent wash and rinse performance.

I hope this helps.

David

Matt, I love the tumbling on that Whirlpool... more like a commercial washer than a domestic machine! Congratulations on the find, they were cool machines, always wanted the Inspirations 1200 when it was out which had the blue control panel!

Whirlpool Inspirations 1200

Hi Folks,
I happen to own an Inspirations 1200; it's a great machine and the only issue I have had was the Motor mounting bushes worked loose, I fitted a new bush kit several years ago and no problems since. They seem immune to suds lock due to the pulse spins and well designed spin cycles.

Hotpointwf220 your machine must have been faulty as my Inspirations 1200 takes 2 hours max on Cottons 60ºC 3 hours on Cottons 95ºC with pre wash, it has a Rapid button which shaves a good 45 minutes of the cycle times.

this machine doesn't seem to take that long actually, i will accurately time it one day and see how long the cycles truly are. Thanks guys for the comments, i'm loving this machine.
