My Kenmore Oasis Agi version hasn't given us any problems since we purchased it in May 2007. |

Yor're referring to the 'F-51' code on the beltless direct drive motor design. I've seen a few. They want you to replace the rotor, wiring harness with RPS sensor (they force you to do the whole harness by changing the shape of the sensor so it won't connect to the old harness) and the machine control board. There is also a rework on some of the older agitator design Cabrios (not the 'agitator-less' disk design)for washability issues. It involves changing the agitator itself. RCD |

Drew, can you give any more detail on what is meant by "washability issues"? |

"The Tub Ring on HE Top Loads have been modified to direct all of the water back into the Tub in order to stop an intermittent water leak, usually found at the front left corner of the washer. With the original tub ring, water may collect on the Tub Ring as water enters from the Detergent Dispenser and then drip onto the floor. The part numbers have not changed. W10130807 is for the impeller models and W10130806 is for the agitator models. All parts in Whirlpools inventory have been purged to the modified part."

I think a call to Sears may be in order for me... |

Thanks to dadoes and washer man over on another laundry forum we now know how to start tackling this problem. Let's hope it is an easy fix and one that does not cost too much. |

Frigilux, the reason you do not see Kenmore listed is that WP is just a contract manufacturer for Kenmore. When we go to service school, the WP service rep will not even mention Kenmore, as it is Sears' and he is not authorized by the company to mention the product or discuss repairing a Kenmore. It's strange, but that's today's world.
