VMW washer, reliability
The first 3 to 5 years of these machines had a lot of problems, including with the main bearings, quality improved a lot. We seldom see main bearing failures on these machines anymore mode shifter, and a lot of other things were improved. There has been a recent problem on the basic models with bad boards, but whirlpool is covering all those Otherwise they’re quite decent inexpensive washers.
Of course our official recommendation is not to buy any top loader none of them perform as well as a decent front loader in any respect. John L | ||
