Have you inspected the pump protector screen that keeps stuff from damaging the pump? It might be clogged. | ||

Awesome Point Bob. Amazing that a "collector" could not figure this out on his own. | ||

Todd, the comment about not knowing what a 1/18i was, was not directed at you. It was directed to the person who asked the question. I" sorry if that was confusing iwith you. My reply was particular to your situation, you have a matched 1/18 set in beautiful avocado green. Ironically, there are a couple of threads dealing with 1-18s or 1/18s on the pink forum right now, that's why it kind of surprised me with the question from Jerrod of what was an 1-18? | ||

Hey tcox,
The "button catcher" is there so that any foreign objects may be easily removed to keep the pump from either failing or needing replacement. It is a good practice to check it every month espaecially if you have pets like dogs,cats,horses or a bear.lol. Not all front loaders have them and the Whirlpool's are not easily accessible.I check mine evry other week and have never had any serious issues other than my x room mate's metal bra strap. | ||

This is what I hate about my Duet...........
It doesn't have easy access to clean the drain pump and Whirlpool STILL has not addressed this! I have to take the panel off the front.........I have two cats and amazingly when I check it there's hardly ever anything it it. I check pockets religiously but some stuff has escaped me and gotten in before. Once I washed one of those mini flat head screw drivers. | ||

me i think what do not help whirlpool is that with the generation 1 duet set i have is they need to make cleaning up the machine simpler because i also have pets and when i wash my pet 's bed in the washer my fear is i start a reg load and i get an error code saying thats something is stuck in the washer and cause the motor to burn and what would also help whirlpool would be that they change the desing of the duet and makes it easyer for mainantce on the washer for those that can do it themselves witch is not everyone that can do this

As much as I hate to admit and as much as I claim I admire them,the Frigidaire front loaders, as well as the Electrolux,have NO button trap. The pump,if it gets clogged or stuck, has to be completely removed and opened up to remove the clog.That's even more difficult then just removing the three screws that hold the kickplate on the Whirlpools. GE just recently placed one on their models.Bendix always had them and I am sure that's one of many reasons that they are still out there today.
