Bean counters Interesting - some Corporate bean counter wanted to save 50 cents on a part and came up with this cut-rate idea (!) I wonder if they have gone back to the original 1964 part design with the real idler wheel (what I thought was the "new and improved replacement") at the factory now? Let's hope so... Andrew S. | ||

Yes ,they have discontinued use of the skid idler & have gone back to the pulley style a few years ago!! | ||

Good! At least Whirlpool did the right thing and went back to the part that they should never have stopped using in the first place. Thanks for the follow-up! | ||

what a pity
One reason the bean counters and all those wonderfully young, dynamic marketing managers get away with these things is because there are still too many folks out there who think: "That's just the way it is..." I am no fan of Whirlpool, but at least they fixed their mistake. Here. Thanks a lot for sharing this, Andrew! | ||
