The latest models with the new consoles are the machines with a BPM motor and a planetary drive. The previous machines had the floating basket and BPM motor with no planetary drive. They may sound more similar to the VMW machines, but they are direct drive. I can tell you that with absolute certainty working in the laundry division for Whirlpool. :P

they removed the belt, and bolted the motor to the gearbox making it direct drive. It's still not a hall sensor rotor and stator set up. |

Here's a link to one of the videos I have @washer10. You should be able to click the timestamps in the description if you want to jump to the different phases. :)
I believe YouTube user "cruellaursula" has video of his new Cabrio 8500, but for some reason I'm not finding them from my phone. His is the new design with the rotor/stator BPM motor with the planetary gearbox. I haven't come across any videos of the lower end models that have the standard VMW belt drive, but I'm sure it sounds and operates the same as the older low-end Cabrio and Bravos X, and there should be plenty of those floating around. |

So now the motor is directly beneath the splutch gear case so when the seals blow and leak, the motor also fryes up. Brilliant! Of course, the same could happen with the old DD set up. Once the splutch gearbox fills with water, it's toast anyhow. |

the latest Whirlpool TV commercial should be about it's design? "Oh, what did you do?" "How did that happen?" "Now how is mommy supposed to get that stain out with a washer that doesn't work?" |

One would think, because you seem to hate anything modern so much, that you'd be over on Imperial gracing with your presence than chiming in here with misinformation.
As far as I know, Samsung, LG, and GE all use practically the same setup; a BPM motor disc, a planetary gearbox for torque conversion purposes, an electromagnetic splutch system of some sort to lock the tub for spin, all mounted directly together. I haven't heard of Whirlpool or any of those companies having widespread issues with water seals and frying parts, and out of the big brands, I hear of Whirlpool the least when it comes to problems. Also, any top loader carries the same risk of a seal failure and having water fall down onto electrical components, that's a bit of a given considering you can't really have the motor and pumps mounted above, because where would you put your clothes? In between the small gap past the suspension and mounting braces? Every single manufacturing brand has had at least a handful of top load washers with seal failure, even Speed Queen, so your argument is irrelevant. Just because something -could- happen doesn't mean it's grounds to never touch a certain brand or machine, because then you'd be washing clothes in the tub. Any machine can malfunction in some way regardless of where it was made or how expensive it was. |

they sound nothing like old belt drive Whirlpools. "Say somethin"! Not you Joeypete, but think of Kim Fields on housewives of Atlanta after reading the post after I was critical of them above. |
