I picked up a Whirlpool WFW9750 for free a couple of months ago, it's been sitting outside, owner was told it had bad bearings and the cost to repair was too high.  After my previous experience replacing the bearings I jumped at it - especially for the price!  Temp here hit 65 so I tore the unit apart.

This is a Steam unit, but when I tore into it I did not find the steam generator I found on my previous machine.  However when I pulled the tub apart I found a dual element heater.  I've worked on a few Duets and never have come across a dual heating element.  I'm wondering if the steam function uses the heating element instead on these machines.  Also noticed they added a small fan in the vent area, I guess it's to keep things fresh, I have not powered the unit up so I don't know how often it runs. Large rear bearing totally shot, actually missing parts, small looks OK.  Not sure if I want to spend $$ on high quality stuff, but may make this one a keeper.

The cycles are pretty much the same as my WFW9600 except that the order is changed, Quick Wash is now just to the left of Normal vs. at the bottom on the 9600.  The 9750 does have a few more options, it has a rinse selector with 3 positions, and a night option that I guess slows the spin speed down to avoid too much noise.

After I get it up and running I'll have to decide what machines to list on CL, at this point I have 3 Duets only need one...

So is this really steam or is it just heating the water really hot and it is being called a steam washer.  My idea of a steam washer would be something that blasts steam across and through the clothes.

My washer has two 1300W heaters below the bottom of the tub in between the inner and outer tubs.  You can see them if you shine a flashlight down through the holes in the tub.  I don't know when it uses one or both heaters.
