Has anyone seen, or heard of corrosion and/or fracturing of the spiders fitted to the above Whirlpool manufactured machines? Thank you. | ||

Broken Spiders in WP Built Duet Sport Washers Yes quite a few, it is not as robust as the bigger duets and therefore seems to corrode and fail sooner, much like the cheaply made Frigidaire FL washers. But in almost every case on FD or WP washers where we see these failures the washer is being used with cold water, too little and cheap ineffective detergents and No chlorine bleach and of course the washer usually stinks, LOL.
Only good news is on these WP built washers you can buy the spider without the tub for about $100.
I would hate the thought of wearing any of the mold and bacteria laden clothing that was washed in these washers, YUCK | ||

Broken Spiders I have never seen a broken spider on any brand or model washer that broke that was not pretty corroded, I an sure that it could happen but I would guess that it is pretty rare.
I looked over the information in the lawsuit from the link you posted, interesting stuff but I can see no liability on WPs part except they and many other parties are guilty of not properly instructing owners how to use an automatic washer.
When working washers every day I see machines where I know the spider will NEVER break and we go to the house next door and the same type washer is a GROSS mess of stinky mold and slime.
Unfortunately clothing manufactures, Consumer Reports, Utility companies and the washer manufacturer themselves are to blame for not instructing owners how to use a washer. If an owner wants to sue WP the broken machine should be cut apart and the pieces should be passed around to the jury and if they pass the smell test, LOL. | ||
