After all the horror stories I've read about bearing failures on the Whirlpool Duet's, I've felt obligated into putting my 2 year old front loading Duet 9150WW on a Medium spin speed. I believe this is 1,000 RPM's. High spin is 1,200 RPM's, if I'm correct. Am I wrong for doing this? Am I defeating the purpose of having a front loader? This is tearing me apart.....

i don't think the reduced spin speed will make a difference-the bearing problems with these are likely caused by worn/faulty seal letting water get to the bearings First time i get a look at a duet with failed bearings i'll be looking it over to see what is going on with these... | ||

I like to take it high speed... I always use my Hotpoint and Hoover spinners to extract as much water from laundry. They spin at 3100RPM and 2300RPM respectively. Takes only an hour to dry then in my washer/dryer! | ||

Don't scare me like this
Don't scare me like this because if this happens to my 8 year old whirlpool duet set this means for me spending 2100$ for a new washer dryer set because for this kind of problem in my case i would not bother to have it repaired and for me my duet set is already nearing the end of its lifetime use as its already having minor problems like i can not wash heavy loads like my bed sheets as it cause the washer to do at 4 minutes wash time another rinse so not normal when at 4 minutes it SHOULD BE IN THE FINAL SPIN sorry for the shout and also since on the normal cycle the spin is set to high by default when it go into the spin portion before the first rinse its like the medium spin for the gentle cycle so not normal and the same go for the final spin part and for the dryer the auto cycle is no longer doing its job propler so i have to rely on the time dry cycle. so the next set i might be buying might be the maytag maxima washer dryer set in white naturaly because in the near future i went to stack the dryer on top of the washer unless my mom and me decide to buy a refurbish washer dryer set for the next couple of years but for this we will see when the time comes.
