Aire acondicionado Reparar
Whirlpool fabrica electrodomésticos en los que los propietarios han llegado a confiar. Sin embargo, incluso un electrodoméstico de confianza requiere un mantenimiento o reparación ocasional. Si necesita una reparación de electrodomésticos Whirlpool por parte de profesionales experimentados, su Ayudante de Electrodomésticos local puede ayudarle.
Filtro de aire
Si el filtro de aire está obstruido, el aire no puede fluir correctamente a través del acondicionador de aire. Esto reduce en gran medida la capacidad de refrigeración del aire acondicionado. Además, si el filtro de aire está obstruido, las bobinas del evaporador se congelarán. Para eliminar los residuos del filtro de aire, intente limpiar el filtro. Si no es posible limpiar el filtro de aire, sustitúyalo.
Los serpentines del condensador están sucios
Los serpentines del condensador disipan el calor cuando el refrigerante pasa por ellos. Si los serpentines del condensador están sucios, no podrán disipar el calor con la misma eficacia. A medida que los residuos se acumulan en las bobinas, el aire acondicionado será menos eficiente, haciendo que el aire acondicionado trabaje más para enfriar. Si las bobinas están muy sucias, el aire acondicionado no podrá mantener la temperatura adecuada, y el compresor funcionará continuamente en un intento de enfriar la habitación. Compruebe las bobinas del condensador para determinar si están sucias. Si las bobinas del condensador están sucias, límpielas.
Compresor
El compresor puede estar defectuoso. Sin embargo, este no suele ser el caso. Antes de sustituir el compresor, asegúrese de comprobar los componentes más comúnmente defectuosos, en particular el protector de sobrecarga y el condensador del compresor. Si el compresor está defectuoso, sólo debe ser sustituido por un técnico autorizado.
Termostato
El termostato controla la temperatura del aire. Cuando la temperatura del aire se eleva por encima de un punto de ajuste, el termostato activa un interruptor para proporcionar energía al ventilador y al compresor. Si el termostato está defectuoso, es posible que no enfríe correctamente. Para determinar si el termostato está defectuoso, ponga el aire acondicionado en refrigeración y luego use un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del termostato. Si el termostato no tiene continuidad mientras el acondicionador de aire está ajustado en refrigeración, sustituya el termostato. (Nota: Algunos termostatos también pueden controlar un calentador y, por lo tanto, tendrán tres terminales. Consulte el diagrama de cableado de su acondicionador de aire para obtener más información).
Placa de control
La placa de control regula la tensión del compresor y del motor del ventilador. Si la placa de control falla, algunos componentes no funcionarán correctamente o no funcionarán en absoluto. Los tableros de control son a menudo mal diagnosticados; asegúrese de revisar primero las partes más comúnmente defectuosas antes de reemplazar el tablero de control.
Placa de control principal
La placa de control principal regula la tensión del compresor y del motor del ventilador. Si la placa de control principal falla, algunos componentes no funcionarán correctamente o no funcionarán en absoluto. Las tarjetas de control principal a menudo se diagnostican de forma errónea; asegúrese de comprobar primero las piezas defectuosas más comunes antes de sustituir la tarjeta de control principal.
Calentador de agua Reparar
Para el hogar, la cocina y más allá, Whirlpool fabrica electrodomésticos en los que los propietarios han llegado a confiar. Sin embargo, incluso un electrodoméstico de confianza requiere un mantenimiento o reparación ocasional. Si necesita una reparación de electrodomésticos Whirlpool por parte de profesionales experimentados, su Ayudante de Electrodomésticos local puede ayudarle.
Sin agua caliente
Un calentador de agua eléctrico recién instalado puede tardar varias horas en alcanzar la temperatura normal de funcionamiento. Si no tiene agua caliente después de dos horas (el agua ni siquiera está caliente), primero compruebe que el calentador de agua recibe energía eléctrica. El hecho de que no reciba energía es una razón común para que los calentadores de agua nuevos no funcionen.
Fugas de agua
Con un nuevo calentador de agua, la mayoría de las fugas son causadas por fugas en las conexiones de la salida de agua caliente o la entrada de agua fría. Ocasionalmente, se pueden encontrar fugas procedentes de un accesorio (como alrededor de la válvula de alivio de temperatura y presión) o alrededor de uno de los elementos de calefacción. Los racores con fugas suelen poder apretarse o repararse. Es extremadamente raro que un tanque nuevo tenga fugas.
Gotas de agua
Si se observan gotas procedentes de la tubería de descarga de la válvula de alivio de temperatura y presión, es posible que la presión del agua de la casa sea demasiado alta o que se necesite un tanque de expansión térmica.
Presión del agua
Compruebe la presión del agua de su casa con un manómetro. La presión de agua recomendada es de 50 a 60 PSIG. Si la presión es más alta que eso, instale una válvula reguladora de presión (o ajuste su válvula reguladora de presión existente si tiene una). Si tiene problemas de presión de agua, consulte a su empresa local de suministro de agua o a un fontanero cualificado. La mayoría de los códigos de fontanería requieren una válvula reguladora de presión si la presión del agua es superior a 80 PSIG.
Comprobación de la potencia eléctrica
Para comprobar la potencia, apague el disyuntor marcado como "calentador de agua" (o retire los fusibles). Retire el panel de acceso superior del calentador de agua. Retire con cuidado el aislamiento y la cubierta de plástico. Identifique los cables de alimentación. Normalmente, éstos se conectan a los dos tornillos superiores del termostato superior. Vuelva a conectar el disyuntor y compruebe si hay tensión en los dos tornillos superiores del termostato superior.
Depósito de expansión térmica
Cuando el agua se calienta, se expande. En los hogares más antiguos, el agua expandida se devuelve a la red de agua. Hoy en día, la mayoría de los hogares tienen válvulas de prevención de reflujo que impiden que el agua de su casa vuelva a entrar en el suministro de agua. Un depósito de expansión térmica tiene una cámara de aire interna que puede absorber el agua expandida, protegiendo las tuberías, los electrodomésticos y el calentador de agua. Por estas razones, la mayoría de los hogares necesitan ahora un tanque de expansión térmica (y una válvula reguladora de presión correctamente ajustada). No tener un tanque de expansión térmica es la razón más común para una tubería de descarga que gotea.
Distancia Reparar
Para el hogar, la cocina y más allá, Whirlpool fabrica electrodomésticos en los que los propietarios han llegado a confiar. Sin embargo, incluso un electrodoméstico de confianza requiere un mantenimiento o reparación ocasional. Si necesita una reparación de electrodomésticos Whirlpool por parte de profesionales experimentados, su Ayudante de Electrodomésticos local puede ayudarle.
El Horno Whirlpool no calienta.
Interruptor. El encendedor es la pieza más comúnmente defectuosa para un horno que no calienta. El encendedor tiene dos funciones principales. En primer lugar, el encendedor toma corriente eléctrica a través de la válvula de seguridad del horno para abrirla. En segundo lugar, el encendedor se calienta lo suficiente como para brillar y encender el gas en el quemador del horno. Si el encendedor se debilita, no podrá abrir la válvula de seguridad correctamente. Si la válvula no se abre, el horno no se calentará. Para determinar si el encendedor está defectuoso, observe el encendedor cuando el horno está encendido. Si el encendedor brilla durante más de 90 segundos sin encender la llama de gas, esto indica que el encendedor es demasiado débil para abrir la válvula. Si el encendedor es débil, sustitúyalo. Si el encendedor no brilla en absoluto, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del encendedor. Si el encendedor no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
El horno de hidromasaje no hornea uniformemente.
Elemento de cocción. Si el elemento de horneado está quemado, el horno sólo se calentará con el elemento de asado. Esto hará que el horno se caliente de forma desigual. Cuando el elemento de cocción se está calentando correctamente, se ilumina en rojo. Si el elemento no brilla en rojo, esto indica que el elemento no está calentando. A menudo, si el elemento se ha quemado, estará visiblemente dañado. Inspeccione el elemento de cocción en busca de agujeros o ampollas. Para determinar si el elemento de cocción se ha quemado, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del elemento. Si el elemento de cocción no tiene continuidad, reemplácelo.
La parrilla del horno de hidromasaje no funciona.
Elemento de cocción. El elemento de la parrilla puede haberse quemado. Cuando el elemento de la parrilla se está calentando correctamente, se ilumina en rojo. Si el elemento no brilla en rojo, esto indica que el elemento no está calentando. A menudo, si el elemento se ha quemado, estará visiblemente dañado. Inspeccione el elemento de asado para ver si tiene agujeros o ampollas. Para determinar si la resistencia se ha quemado, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de la resistencia. Si el elemento de asado no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
La resistencia de la estufa de hidromasaje no funciona.
Tablero del elemento de superficie. El tablero del elemento de superficie tiene relés que regulan el suministro de energía a los quemadores. Si uno o más de los relés fallan, el elemento de superficie no funcionará. Si dos o más quemadores fallan al mismo tiempo, esto indica que el tablero del elemento de superficie es probablemente el culpable. Si sólo un elemento de superficie no funciona, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del elemento. Si el elemento de superficie tiene continuidad, la placa del elemento de superficie podría estar defectuosa.
El quemador de la estufa de hidromasaje no se enciende.
Módulo de chispa. El módulo de chispa proporciona energía a cada electrodo de chispa del quemador de superficie. Si el quemador produce una chispa débil, o si el quemador chispea intermitentemente, el módulo de chispa podría estar defectuoso. Antes de sustituir el módulo de chispa, compruebe primero el electrodo de chispa y el cable de chispa. Si el electrodo de chispa y el cable de chispa no están defectuosos, es probable que el módulo de chispa esté defectuoso. Si el módulo de chispa está defectuoso, sustitúyalo.
La temperatura del horno de hidromasaje no es exacta.
Elemento de cocción. Cuando el elemento de cocción se está calentando correctamente, se ilumina en rojo. Si el elemento no brilla en rojo, esto indica que el elemento no está calentando. A menudo, si la resistencia se ha quemado, estará visiblemente dañada. Inspeccione el elemento calefactor en busca de agujeros o ampollas. Para determinar si la resistencia se ha quemado, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de la resistencia. Si el elemento de cocción no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
La luz del horno de hidromasaje está apagada.
Conjunto de luces. Si la luz del horno está apagada, es posible que sea necesario reemplazar todo el conjunto de la luz. A menudo los componentes del conjunto de la luz no se venden por separado.
El horno de Whirlpool no se enciende.
Elemento de cocción. Cuando el elemento de horneado se está calentando correctamente, brilla en rojo. Si el elemento no brilla en rojo, esto indica que el elemento no está calentando. A menudo, si la resistencia se ha quemado, estará visiblemente dañada. Inspeccione el elemento calefactor en busca de agujeros o ampollas. Para determinar si la resistencia se ha quemado, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de la resistencia. Si el elemento de cocción no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
Horno de hidromasaje no autolimpiable.
Motor de bloqueo de la puerta y conjunto del interruptor. Durante el ciclo de autolimpieza del horno, el interruptor de bloqueo de la puerta activa el motor de bloqueo de la puerta para evitar que se abra la puerta del horno. Si el motor de bloqueo de la puerta y el interruptor están defectuosos, la puerta del horno no se desbloqueará una vez que el ciclo de autolimpieza se haya completado. En la mayoría de los hornos, usted puede abrir la puerta del horno retirando ciertos tornillos o paneles. Consulte el manual del propietario para obtener más instrucciones.
El horno de Whirlpool no se apaga.
Placa de control del horno. El tablero de control del horno tiene relés que envían voltaje a los circuitos de horneado y asado de acuerdo con la configuración del usuario y la entrada del sensor. Si uno de los relés del tablero de control se cierra en cortocircuito, el tablero de control puede enviar voltaje continuo al circuito de calentamiento. Si el horno sigue calentando después de apagarlo, es probable que la tarjeta de control esté defectuosa. Si la placa de control está defectuosa, sustitúyala.
El elemento de superficie del horno de hidromasaje no se apaga.
Interruptor del elemento de superficie. El interruptor del elemento de superficie envía tensión a la bobina del elemento de superficie. A veces, cuando el interruptor del elemento de superficie falla, los contactos eléctricos dentro del interruptor se fusionan, haciendo que el interruptor envíe voltaje continuo al elemento de superficie. Si el interruptor del elemento de superficie está defectuoso, sustitúyalo.
El ventilador del horno de hidromasaje no se apaga.
Placa de control del horno. El tablero de control del horno tiene relés que regulan la energía a los circuitos de horneado, asado y ventilador de acuerdo con los ajustes del usuario y la entrada del sensor. Si uno de estos relés se cortocircuita, la placa de control puede enviar tensión continua al ventilador del horno. Sin embargo, esto no suele ocurrir. Antes de sustituir la placa de control, compruebe primero los termostatos del horno. Si un termostato del horno falla, puede hacer que el ventilador del horno funcione continuamente.
Los quemadores de la cocina de hidromasaje chispean todo el tiempo.
Interruptor de encendido de chispas. Uno de los interruptores de encendido por chispa podría estar defectuoso. El interruptor de encendido por chispa envía tensión al módulo de chispa. Cuando los contactos eléctricos dentro del interruptor se cierran, la energía fluye al módulo de chispa. Si el interruptor de encendido de chispa falla con los contactos eléctricos cerrados, el interruptor enviará tensión continua al módulo de chispa. Para determinar si alguno de los interruptores de encendido de chispa está defectuoso, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de cada uno de los interruptores. Si un interruptor de encendido de chispa muestra continuidad en todos los ajustes, reemplácelo.
Horno Reparar
Whirlpool fabrica electrodomésticos en los que los propietarios han llegado a confiar. Sin embargo, incluso un electrodoméstico de confianza requiere un mantenimiento o reparación ocasional. Si necesita una reparación de electrodomésticos Whirlpool por parte de profesionales experimentados, su Ayudante de Electrodomésticos local puede ayudarle.
Ignición
La ignición se calienta mucho y brilla de color naranja brillante para encender el quemador de gas. Si el encendedor falla o se agrieta, el horno no calentará. Para determinar si el encendedor está defectuoso, retire el encendedor e inspecciónelo en busca de grietas. Si el encendedor está agrietado, sustitúyalo. Si el encendedor no está agrietado, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del encendedor. Si el encendedor no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
Sensor de llama
El sensor de llama controla el quemador para detectar si hay o no llama. Si el sensor de llama está defectuoso, podría no detectar una llama. Si el sensor de llama no detecta una llama, la placa de control cortará la tensión a la válvula de gas para evitar que el horno se caliente. A veces, si el sensor de llama está sucio, no detectará la llama. Intente limpiar el sensor de llama con una almohadilla abrasiva fina. Si el horno sigue sin calentar, sustituya el sensor de llama.
Motor del inductor de tiro
El motor del inductor de tiro introduce aire en el intercambiador de calor y luego lo expulsa por la chimenea. El presostato detecta un cambio de presión y cierra un interruptor para indicar a la placa de control que el horno tiene un flujo de aire adecuado. Si el motor del inductor de tiro está defectuoso, puede ser incapaz de cerrar el interruptor de presión, haciendo que el proceso de encendido se detenga y el horno se apague después de unos minutos. Si el proceso de encendido se detiene, el horno se apagará. Si el motor del inductor de tiro está averiado, sustitúyalo.
Placa de control
La placa de control regula el suministro de energía a todos los componentes del horno. Si la placa de control falla, podría no enviar tensión al sistema de encendido, haciendo que el horno no se caliente.
Interruptor de límite de apagado de llama
El interruptor de apagado de llama controla el calor que rodea a los quemadores. Si el motor del ventilador del inductor no puede aspirar suficiente aire a través de los quemadores, o si el horno no está ventilando correctamente, el interruptor de apagado de llama se abrirá para detener la secuencia de encendido y evitar que el horno se caliente. Para determinar si el interruptor de apagado de llama está defectuoso, utilice un multímetro para comprobar su continuidad. Si el interruptor no tiene continuidad y el botón de reinicio no se dispara, reemplácelo. Tenga en cuenta que un flujo de aire deficiente a través del quemador es a menudo el resultado de una ventilación insuficiente o de un conducto de escape restringido. Asegúrese de que su horno está en un lugar bien ventilado y de que el conducto de escape está libre de obstrucciones.
Termostato de pared
El termostato de pared tiene contactos eléctricos que controlan el suministro de energía al horno. Si los contactos del termostato fallan, el horno no se encenderá. Para determinar si el termostato está defectuoso, utilice un multímetro para comprobar su continuidad. Si el termostato de pared no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
Lavadora Reparar
Para el hogar, la cocina y más allá, Whirlpool fabrica electrodomésticos en los que los propietarios han llegado a confiar. Sin embargo, incluso un electrodoméstico de confianza requiere un mantenimiento o reparación ocasional. Si necesita una reparación de electrodomésticos Whirlpool por parte de profesionales experimentados, su Ayudante de Electrodomésticos local puede ayudarle.
La lavadora Whirlpool no gira.
Conjunto del interruptor de la tapa. El conjunto del interruptor de la tapa impide que la lavadora gire cuando la tapa está abierta. Si el conjunto del interruptor de la tapa falla, la lavadora no girará. Para determinar si el conjunto del interruptor de la tapa está defectuoso, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del interruptor de la tapa. Si el interruptor de la tapa no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
La lavadora de hidromasaje hace un ruido fuerte durante el ciclo de lavado.
Rodamiento. El cojinete de la bañera está montado en el centro de la bañera exterior. El cojinete de la bañera ayuda a mantener la bañera interior girando suavemente. La sustitución del cojinete de la cuba es una reparación muy complicada y requerirá el desmontaje de la mayor parte de la lavadora. Si el cojinete de la cuba está defectuoso, recomendamos sustituir tanto la cuba exterior como el cojinete.
La lavadora de hidromasaje no agita.
Juego de reparación del agitador. Si la lavadora no agita, la sustitución del kit de reparación del agitador puede resolver el problema. El kit contiene los componentes del agitador que tienen más probabilidades de desgastarse y/o fallar. Si alguna de las piezas está desgastada, despojada o dañada, sustituya el kit.
La lavadora de hidromasaje no desagua.
Bomba de desagüe. A veces, pequeños objetos o artículos de ropa pueden quedar atrapados en la bomba de desagüe. Para determinar si algo está bloqueando la bomba de desagüe, retire la bomba de desagüe y compruebe si hay obstrucciones en la bomba. Si la bomba de desagüe está libre de obstrucciones, pero sigue siendo ruidosa durante el ciclo de desagüe, sustituya la bomba de desagüe.
La lavadora de hidromasaje vibra o se agita.
Amortiguador. Uno o más de los amortiguadores pueden estar rotos o desgastados. Los amortiguadores amortiguan la vibración de la cuba de la lavadora. Si uno o más de los amortiguadores están desgastados, la lavadora vibrará o se sacudirá. A veces, cuando se traslada la lavadora a otro lugar, los amortiguadores pueden separarse. Compruebe los amortiguadores para asegurarse de que están colocados correctamente, e inspecciónelos en busca de daños y desgaste. Si uno o más de los amortiguadores están rotos o desgastados, recomendamos sustituir todos los amortiguadores como medida preventiva.
La lavadora de hidromasaje se llena lentamente o no se llena en absoluto.
Válvula de entrada de agua. La válvula de entrada de agua se abre para permitir que el agua entre en la lavadora. Si la válvula de entrada de agua está defectuosa, la lavadora puede llenarse lentamente o no llenarse en absoluto. La válvula de entrada de agua requiere una presión de agua suficiente para funcionar correctamente. En primer lugar, compruebe la presión del agua para determinar si es adecuada. Si la presión del agua es adecuada, intente limpiar las rejillas del interior de los puertos de conexión de la manguera de la válvula de entrada de agua. Si la lavadora sigue llenándose lentamente, sustituya la válvula de entrada de agua.
La lavadora de hidromasaje tiene una fuga.
La bomba de desagüe bombea agua por la manguera de desagüe. Si la bomba de desagüe está agrietada o dañada, o si los cojinetes están desgastados, la bomba de desagüe puede perder agua. La bomba de drenaje no se puede reparar si la bomba pierde agua, reemplácela.
La lavadora de hidromasaje no arranca.
Temporizador. El temporizador es frecuentemente mal diagnosticado antes de reemplazar el temporizador, primero revise todas las partes más comúnmente defectuosas. Para determinar si el temporizador está defectuoso, consulte el diagrama de cableado de su lavadora y utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del temporizador.
La lavadora Whirlpool no centrifuga ni agita.
Correa de transmisión. Inspeccione la correa de transmisión para determinar si está rota o si está suelta en las poleas. Si la correa de transmisión está rota o suelta, sustitúyala.
La lavadora de hidromasaje se desborda.
Válvula de entrada de agua. Pruebe a cortar la corriente de la lavadora mientras ésta se llena de agua. Si la lavadora sigue llenándose de agua aunque no reciba corriente, esto indica que la válvula de entrada de agua está defectuosa. Si la válvula de entrada de agua está defectuosa, sustitúyala.
La puerta o la tapa de la lavadora de hidromasaje no se bloquea.
Motor de la cerradura de la puerta y conjunto del interruptor. El bloqueo de la puerta asegura el cierre de la puerta de la lavadora durante el funcionamiento. Una vez que la puerta de la lavadora está cerrada, la lavadora puede comenzar a funcionar. Si la cerradura de la puerta está defectuosa, la puerta de la lavadora no se cerrará correctamente. La cerradura de la puerta puede fallar mecánica o eléctricamente. Inspeccione la cerradura de la puerta para ver si está dañada. Si la cerradura de la puerta está dañada o no se traba correctamente, reemplácela. Para determinar si la cerradura de la puerta ha fallado eléctricamente, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de cada uno de los interruptores de la cerradura de la puerta. Si uno de los interruptores no tiene continuidad, reemplace el interruptor.

El microondas Whirlpool no calienta.
Diodo. El diodo convierte la salida de energía A/C del transformador en D/C, duplicando el voltaje a casi 5.000 voltios. Este alto voltaje alimenta el magnetrón para calentar los alimentos. Si el diodo se quema, el magnetrón no recibe suficiente voltaje para funcionar, impidiendo que el microondas se caliente. Cuando el diodo falla, suele estar visiblemente quemado. Inspeccione el diodo y, si está quemado, sustitúyalo. Si la inspección del diodo no es concluyente, pruébelo con un multímetro que utilice una pila de 9 voltios o ponga una pila de 9 voltios en serie con el diodo. Cuando se invierten los cables, el diodo sólo debe tener continuidad en una dirección. (Advertencia: El horno microondas puede almacenar una cantidad letal de electricidad en su condensador de alto voltaje, incluso después de que el horno microondas haya sido desenchufado. Debido a la alta tensión de funcionamiento y a la posibilidad de sufrir una descarga eléctrica, es extremadamente peligroso sustituir los componentes electrónicos de un microondas. Sólo un técnico autorizado debe sustituir el diodo).
El microondas de Whirlpool no funciona.
Fusible de línea. Si pasa demasiada corriente por el circuito del microondas, el fusible de línea se fundirá. Si el fusible de línea se funde, el microondas no arranca. Para determinar si el fusible de línea está averiado, utilice un multímetro para comprobar su continuidad. Si el fusible no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo. Además, debe investigar y resolver el problema que ha provocado la rotura del fusible. Si no resuelve el problema subyacente, el nuevo fusible también se fundirá. (Precaución: El horno microondas puede almacenar miles de voltios de electricidad en su condensador de alto voltaje, incluso después de que el horno microondas haya sido desenchufado. Debido al potencial de descarga eléctrica, es extremadamente peligroso reemplazar los componentes electrónicos de un microondas. Sólo un técnico autorizado debe reemplazar el fusible de línea).

La puerta del microondas de Whirlpool no se abre.
Gancho de la puerta. El gancho de la puerta encaja con el pestillo de la puerta para mantener la puerta cerrada durante el funcionamiento. Dado que el gancho de la puerta está hecho de plástico, puede romperse debido al desgaste regular. Si el gancho de la puerta está roto, no liberará la puerta correctamente, impidiendo que la puerta se abra. Si el gancho de la puerta está roto, sustitúyalo.
El extractor del microondas de Whirlpool no funciona.
Motor del ventilador de escape. Para determinar si el motor del ventilador está defectuoso, retire el motor del ventilador del microondas e intente girar las aspas del ventilador con la mano. Si las aspas no giran libremente, sustituya el motor del ventilador. Si las aspas del ventilador giran libremente, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la alimentación y la continuidad del motor. Si el motor tiene corriente pero no funciona, sustitúyalo. Si el motor no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
El microondas Whirlpool es ruidoso o hace ruido.
Magnetrón. El magnetrón utiliza energía de CC de alto voltaje y alta corriente para generar la frecuencia de microondas que cocina los alimentos. En circunstancias normales, el magnetrón emite un zumbido bajo. Sin embargo, si el magnetrón está dañado o casi quemado, puede empezar a emitir sonidos agudos o gruñidos. Si el magnetrón es ruidoso, esto indica que el magnetrón se está acercando al final de su vida útil o podría estar defectuoso. Un diodo de alto voltaje defectuoso también puede hacer que el magnetrón sea ruidoso. Antes de sustituir el magnetrón, compruebe primero el diodo de alta tensión. Si el diodo no está defectuoso, sustituya el magnetrón. (Advertencia: El horno microondas puede almacenar una cantidad letal de electricidad en su condensador de alto voltaje, incluso después de que el horno microondas haya sido desenchufado. Debido a la alta tensión de funcionamiento y a la posibilidad de sufrir una descarga eléctrica, es extremadamente peligroso sustituir los componentes electrónicos de un microondas. Sólo un técnico autorizado debe sustituir el magnetrón).
Refrigerador Reparar
Para el hogar, la cocina y más allá, Whirlpool fabrica electrodomésticos en los que los propietarios han llegado a confiar. Sin embargo, incluso un electrodoméstico de confianza requiere un mantenimiento o reparación ocasional. Si necesita una reparación de electrodomésticos Whirlpool por parte de profesionales experimentados, su Ayudante de Electrodomésticos local puede ayudarle.
El frigorífico Whirlpool no enfría.
Motor del ventilador del condensador. El motor del ventilador del condensador aspira el aire a través de las bobinas del condensador y sobre el compresor. Si el motor del ventilador del condensador no funciona correctamente, el frigorífico no enfriará bien. Para determinar si el motor del ventilador está defectuoso, compruebe primero si las aspas del ventilador están obstruidas. A continuación, intente girar el aspa del motor del ventilador con la mano. Si el aspa no gira libremente, sustituya el motor del ventilador del condensador. Si no hay obstrucciones y el aspa del ventilador gira libremente, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del motor del ventilador. Si el motor del ventilador del condensador no tiene continuidad, sustitúyalo.
El dispensador de agua de la bañera no funciona.
Válvula de entrada de agua. La válvula de entrada de agua se abre para suministrar agua al dispensador. Si la válvula de entrada de agua está defectuosa, o si la presión del agua es demasiado baja, la válvula de agua no se abrirá. La válvula requiere al menos 20 psi para funcionar correctamente. Asegúrese de que la presión del agua que llega a la válvula es de al menos 20 psi. Si la presión del agua es suficiente, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de la válvula de entrada de agua. Si la válvula de entrada de agua no tiene continuidad, reemplácela.
La máquina de hielo de Whirlpool no funciona.
Válvula de entrada de agua. La válvula de entrada de agua es una válvula controlada eléctricamente que se abre para suministrar agua al dispensador y al fabricador de hielo. Si la válvula de entrada de agua está defectuosa, o si no tiene suficiente presión, no permitirá que el agua fluya. Como resultado, el productor de hielo no producirá hielo. La válvula requiere al menos 20 psi para funcionar correctamente. Asegúrese de que la presión del agua que llega a la válvula es de al menos 20 psi. Si la presión del agua es suficiente, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la alimentación de la válvula de entrada de agua. Si la válvula de entrada de agua tiene suficiente presión y recibe energía, pero el productor de hielo no se llena de agua para hacer hielo, reemplace la válvula de entrada de agua.
El fabricador de hielo del frigorífico de Whirlpool no dispensa hielo.
Placa de control del dispensador. El tablero de control del dispensador gobierna la mayoría de las funciones del sistema del dispensador. Si la placa de control está defectuosa, puede dejar de suministrar energía a todo el sistema dispensador. Si sólo una parte del dispensador no funciona, pruebe cada uno de los componentes del dispensador antes de probar el tablero de control. Es más probable que una sola pieza haya fallado. Si todo el sistema dispensador no funciona, es más probable que la placa de control sea la culpable.
El frigorífico de Whirlpool no se descongela.
Placa de control de descongelación. La placa de control de descongelación determina la frecuencia con la que se debe ejecutar el ciclo de descongelación. Si la placa falla, el frigorífico no entrará en el ciclo de descongelación. Antes de reemplazar la tarjeta de control de descongelamiento, primero pruebe el calentador de descongelamiento y el termostato de descongelamiento. Si el calentador de descongelación y el termostato de descongelación funcionan correctamente, es probable que la placa de control de descongelación esté defectuosa.
El frigorífico Whirlpool es ruidoso o fuerte.
Señal del ventilador. Si el frigorífico es ruidoso o ruidoso, especialmente cuando se abre una de las puertas, es posible que el ventilador del evaporador o del condensador esté defectuoso. En primer lugar, compruebe el aspa del ventilador del evaporador en el congelador, detrás del panel trasero. Intente girarlo con la mano. Si el aspa del ventilador no gira libremente, compruebe si el aspa está rozando con algo o si hay algo atrapado en el aspa. Además, compruebe el aspa del ventilador del condensador en la parte inferior trasera del frigorífico para determinar si tiene alguna obstrucción.
Drenaje de descongelación del frigorífico Whirlpool obstruido.
Calentador de desagüe. Algunos frigoríficos están equipados con calentadores de desagüe. Los calentadores de desagüe evitan que el agua de la bandeja de desagüe se vuelva a congelar y obstruya el desagüe de descongelación. Si el calentador de drenaje está defectuoso o no está en la posición adecuada, el drenaje de descongelación podría congelarse.
El frigorífico de Whirlpool no enfría, pero el congelador funciona.
Motor del ventilador del evaporador. El motor del ventilador del evaporador extrae aire frío sobre las bobinas del evaporador y lo hace circular por todo el congelador. Si el ventilador del evaporador no funciona, el congelador o el frigorífico no enfriará adecuadamente. Para determinar si el motor del ventilador del evaporador está defectuoso, intente girar el aspa del ventilador con la mano. Si el aspa no gira libremente, sustituya el motor del ventilador. Además, si el motor es inusualmente ruidoso, sustitúyalo. Por último, si el motor no funciona en absoluto, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de los devanados del motor. Si los devanados no tienen continuidad, sustituya el motor del ventilador del evaporador.
El frigorífico Whirlpool pierde agua.
Cabezal del filtro de agua. El cabezal del filtro de agua puede estar agrietado, o la junta puede estar rota o faltar. Inspeccione la carcasa del filtro de agua en busca de grietas. Si descubre alguna grieta en la carcasa del filtro de agua, cámbiela.
Congelación de alimentos en el frigorífico Whirlpool.
Termostato de control de temperatura. El termostato de control de temperatura dirige el voltaje al compresor, al motor del ventilador del evaporador y al motor del ventilador del condensador (si corresponde). Si el termostato de control de temperatura no funciona correctamente, puede hacer que el sistema de refrigeración funcione más tiempo del necesario. Como resultado, el refrigerador estará demasiado frío. Para determinar si el termostato está defectuoso, gire el termostato desde el ajuste más bajo hasta el más alto y escuche un clic. Si el termostato hace clic, no es probable que esté defectuoso. Si el termostato no hace clic, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad del termostato. Si el termostato de control de temperatura no tiene continuidad en ningún ajuste, sustitúyalo.
La máquina de hielo del frigorífico Whirlpool se desborda.
Válvula de entrada de agua. La válvula de entrada de agua requiere un mínimo de 20 psi para cerrarse correctamente. Si la presión del agua es demasiado baja, es posible que la válvula no se cierre por completo una vez que se haya cortado la corriente. Como resultado, la válvula tendrá una fuga de agua en la máquina de hielo y hará que ésta se desborde. Compruebe la presión del agua para determinar si es de al menos 20 psi. Si la presión del agua es suficiente, es probable que la válvula de entrada de agua esté defectuosa. Es posible que la válvula no cierre del todo o que esté atascada, haciendo que el agua se filtre a través de la válvula. Si la presión del agua es suficiente, pero la máquina de hielo sigue rebosando, sustituya la válvula de entrada de agua.
La luz del frigorífico Whirlpool no funciona.
Bombilla. Es posible que la bombilla esté fundida. Reemplace la bombilla antes de reemplazar cualquier otra pieza asociada a la bombilla.
El frigorífico Whirlpool funciona constantemente.
Junta de la puerta. Si el frigorífico funciona constantemente, la junta de la puerta puede estar rota o defectuosa, o si la puerta no está bien cerrada, el aire caliente puede entrar en el frigorífico y hacer que los serpentines del evaporador se congelen. Esto ocurre porque el aire húmedo de la habitación entra en el frigorífico a través de la abertura de la junta. Cuando la humedad entra en contacto con las bobinas frías del evaporador, se condensa y se congela. Normalmente, el sistema de descongelación elimina esta escarcha y el hielo. Sin embargo, si la junta de la puerta está defectuosa, los serpentines del evaporador se congelan demasiado rápido y el ciclo de descongelación no puede seguir el ritmo.
Secadora Reparar
Para el hogar, la cocina y más allá, Whirlpool fabrica electrodomésticos en los que los propietarios han llegado a confiar. Sin embargo, incluso un electrodoméstico de confianza requiere un mantenimiento o reparación ocasional. Si necesita una reparación de electrodomésticos Whirlpool por parte de profesionales experimentados, su Ayudante de Electrodomésticos local puede ayudarle.
La secadora Whirlpool ha dejado de girar.
Correa de transmisión. La correa de transmisión es una correa muy larga y delgada que envuelve todo el camino alrededor del tambor de la secadora, alrededor de una polea de tensión, y luego alrededor de la polea del motor de accionamiento. Con el tiempo, la correa puede romperse por el uso normal. Si la correa está rota, la secadora no gira. Para determinar rápidamente si la correa está rota, introduzca la mano en la secadora y gire el tambor con la mano. Si el tambor gira con facilidad, es probable que la correa esté rota. A continuación, inspeccione la correa para confirmar que está rota. Si la correa está rota, sustitúyala.
El tambor de la secadora de hidromasaje no gira.

A continuación, inspeccione la correa para confirmar que está rota. Si la correa está rota, sustitúyala.
La secadora de hidromasaje tarda demasiado en secar la ropa.
Rueda del soplador. La rueda del soplador funciona con el motor de accionamiento para introducir aire en el tambor de la secadora. Las pelusas, los calcetines y las prendas pequeñas pueden escapar del filtro de pelusas y quedar atrapadas en la rueda del soplador. Además, el manguito de la rueda del soplador puede desgastarse, permitiendo que la rueda del soplador se tambalee sobre el eje del motor. Si la rueda del soplador está obstruida o defectuosa, puede tardar demasiado en secar la ropa. Para determinar si la rueda del soplador funciona correctamente, retire la rejilla de ventilación de la secadora y evalúe la fuerza del flujo de aire. Si el flujo de aire es débil, compruebe si la rueda del soplador está obstruida. Si no hay obstrucciones, intente girar la rueda del soplador con la mano. Si la rueda del soplador se tambalea al girar, sustitúyala.
Secadora de hidromasaje sobrecalentada.
Elemento calefactor. El elemento calefactor calienta el aire antes de que éste entre en el tambor de la secadora. Si el elemento está parcialmente cortocircuitado, puede producir calor continuamente, incluso si la secadora ha alcanzado la temperatura adecuada. Cuando esto ocurre, la secadora se calienta demasiado. Para determinar si el elemento calefactor está averiado, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de cada terminal con la caja. Si el elemento calefactor tiene continuidad con la carcasa, está en cortocircuito. Si la resistencia está en cortocircuito, sustitúyala.
La secadora de hidromasaje no se detiene.
Rueda del soplador. La rueda del soplador aspira el aire a través de la secadora y empuja el aire fuera de la ventilación. Las pelusas, los calcetines y las prendas pequeñas pueden escapar del filtro de pelusas y quedar atrapadas en la rueda del soplador. Además, el manguito de la rueda del soplador puede desgastarse, permitiendo que la rueda del soplador se tambalee en el eje del motor. Si la rueda del soplador está obstruida o defectuosa, puede tardar demasiado en secar la ropa. Para determinar si la rueda del soplador funciona correctamente, retire la rejilla de ventilación de la secadora y evalúe la fuerza del flujo de aire. Si el flujo de aire es débil, compruebe si la rueda del soplador está obstruida. Si no hay obstrucciones, intente girar la rueda del soplador con la mano. Si la rueda del soplador se tambalea al girar, sustitúyala.
La secadora Whirlpool no se calienta.
Fusible térmico. El fusible térmico es un dispositivo de seguridad diseñado para proteger la secadora del sobrecalentamiento. El fusible se encuentra en la carcasa del soplador o en la fuente de calor de la secadora, como la resistencia en las secadoras eléctricas o en el quemador en los modelos de gas. El fusible debe estar cerrado por continuidad, lo que significa que tiene una trayectoria eléctrica continua a través de él cuando está bien. Si se sobrecalienta, el fusible no tendrá continuidad, lo que significa que la trayectoria eléctrica está interrumpida y el fusible se ha fundido. Se puede utilizar un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad. Tenga en cuenta que un fusible térmico fundido es una indicación de que la ventilación de la secadora hacia el exterior está restringida. Compruebe siempre la ventilación de la secadora cuando sustituya un fusible térmico fundido.
Secadora Whirlpool dispara el disyuntor.
Elemento calefactor. A veces, si el elemento calefactor falla, se cortocircuita contra la carcasa del calefactor, haciendo que la secadora dispare el disyuntor. Para determinar si el elemento calefactor está averiado, utilice un multímetro para comprobar la continuidad de cada terminal con la carcasa. Si el elemento calefactor tiene continuidad con la carcasa, está en cortocircuito. Si el elemento calefactor está en cortocircuito, sustitúyalo.
La secadora Whirlpool hace ruido.
Correa de transmisión. La correa de transmisión es una correa muy larga y delgada que envuelve todo el tambor de la secadora, alrededor de una polea de tensión y luego alrededor del motor de transmisión. Con el tiempo, la correa de transmisión puede deshilacharse o dañarse. Si la correa de transmisión está deshilachada o dañada, la secadora hará ruido al girar. Inspeccione la correa de transmisión en busca de signos de desgaste. Si la correa de transmisión está desgastada, sustitúyala.
La secadora Whirlpool no arranca.

I bought a 6 year warrantied Whirlpool hot water heater Model N50T61-403, product number 0733318, at Lowes Home Improvement Center and for three years the pilot light fails to stay lit. I have talked with Whirlpool 1-877-817-6750, the number on the unit, many times. I went through the troubleshooting checklist and verified all requirements. I paid a plumber $150 to check it out and he said I needed a larger supply line and venting the closet door would help. I did this and pilot still goes out periodically. Whirlpool sent me a new gas valve and it cost me another $150 to have it installed. The plumber said everything is good. But the pilot is still going out. Called Whirlpool again and talked with them for 24 minutes. The woman on the line was telling me I needed a certain amount of oxygen for this 40,000 BTU model. She was giving me minimum requirements for square or cubic feet of house with 8 inch ceilings. Yes, she said 8 inch ceilings 4 or 5 times as we went over the requirements. I got so frustrated asking her what she was talking about and she hung up on me. I called back and asked for a supervisor and a different woman had me hold on, came back and said a supervisor would call me. I did get a call back and the supervisor wanted to send me another gas valve and a burner assembly. I told him the burner assembly is working fine and I have a new gas valve. I asked him to send me a $150 along with it to pay the plumber. He said they only warranty the parts. So, am I supposed to have $450 in labor plus my time in this product on top of the original cost? I said no thank you and asked him if he would accept this as a solution if he were the customer and he said this is not a personal discussion. I know his answer. I am never buying a Whirlpool product again. But now I need to buy a new, good brand, water heater to replace the Whirlpool piece of junk. Bad product, bad company, bad warranty. I got screwed by Whirlpool once but never again.
I purchased my water heater from Lowes about 11 months ago. The heater worked just fine for about 3-4 months then a popping noise started like a drum. I called Whirlpool and got this song and dance story with several email telling what is needed to do. Whirlpool said it was a water knock and I needed to install some devices on my water line or a tanks which cost a few hundred dollars. I called the plumber and he replace the main control valve. Same problem again so I called several other times and a plumber came and said it was my water pressure in which his gauge was incorrect. I went Lowe€s to complain and they said they would check into the situation and call me. It€s been several days and no results. Still the same problem. The Heater is a piece of trash and would not suggest anyone purchase one. It a total piece of trash and will replace with a premier heater very soon. Requesting Lowe€s replace or will take to Small Claims Court along with reviews pointed here. By the way, they want $450 to install the items on my water line - almost half the price I paid for the heater.
I have recently installed a Whirlpool water heater and was thankfully home when I heard a pop sound and my water heater had exploded inside. The heating element also caught fire. I called customer service and was not satisfied with the response from their customer service team.
The oven will not turn off. When I called Whirlpool and told them what had happened they immediately put me in contact with the safety division. My question is if it is a safety issue, why is there not a recall and why do I have to pay for the circuit board. If there is a safety issue why is there not a recall.
I bought one of the top of the line Maytag washers and was very disappointed. It only lasted about 5 years and had to be replaced. The dryer I bought at the same time is still working. It is 15 years old.
We bought a Whirlpool Dishwasher for a vacation home thinking it was a good brand. It was not a low end model. After two years of infrequent summer use it would start and then not complete a cycle. Looking on the internet I learned the control panel was known to be faulty. An appliance repair person also confirmed that the control panel was known to be faulty. Why are they allowed to sale defective appliances? I also feel Lowes Hardware is not without blame for unloading faulty equipment on unsuspecting consumers. What recourses do consumers have? I cannot afford another dishwasher after purchasing an appliance expected to last for years.
Very reliable and cleans clothes very well. I have used almost every machine on the market, and none compare. Very quiet and I use very little detergent and CLOTHES come out very clean every time. I am just very satisfied with my experience.
I had a full set of kitchen appliances delivered to me on December 11. The delivery crew installed everything but the microwave because we needed to have wiring done. Three days later an electrician came and upon opening the microwave box it was severely damaged. Whirlpool won€t replace it because I called one day outside their 48 hour window. They delivered me a damaged product € period. It should be replaced without question. Instead they want to send a €cosmetic tech€ out to see if it can be fixed. I can€t imagine that€s a more cost-effective method for them. Completely unacceptable. I will never buy Whirlpool again based on their lack of customer service and common sense.
The control panel is difficult to use. It€s much too easy to switch power from the top oven to the bottom oven without knowing it. In addition, the plastic cover over the control panel makes it difficult to use especially if your fingers have flour or oil on them. It would be much easier and more accurate if knobs were used to control the all the functions instead of a electronic screen. Also, the clock has never operated accurately. Always runs fast. Temperature of the ovens is pretty accurate. However, it does take a long time to reach chosen temperature. Both ovens are large and able to handle an 18 inch round pizza dish. Other than the control panel, I€m pleased with both the gas stove top and both electric ovens.
I purchased a 29 cu ft Whirlpool French Door refrigerator (WRF990SLAM) Feb, of 2013 from Lowes and have had nothing but problems since I purchased it. First, I noticed that the fridge sounded louder than normal. Then a few months later, ice started building up in back of the fridge. Then the most craziest thing ever started happening, the water dispenser started randomly shooting out water. Lastly, the ice maker takes forever to make ice. Still to this day, Whirlpool has yet to fix the problem. Funny that the technician said that theyve received a lot of complaints regarding the same issue for this model...so, I say you should be able to fix it then or replace my fridge. I have a 2yr extended warranty which states if they cannot fix my fridge after 3 attempts then they have to replace it. They refuse to honor that. Whirlpool and Lowes are full of crap!!! Whirlpool doesnt care at all that their products are crappy and their service is bad. They sent me a survey asking how do I like my product and I informed them of my issues and they sent me a response to purchase an extended warranty. Now, if they really reviewed the surveys, they would see that I have an extended warranty for 2yrs but regardless of that what about the issues Im having with my fridge? Do you not see my comments? If you didnt care you shouldnt even bother asking. Lowes pretended to care and made me believe they were going to replace my fridge but then sided with Whirlpool and said that they have to make 3 unsuccessful attempts to fix the fridge but each attempt has to be 30 days apart. Thats a bunch of crap because its been 6 months and my fridge still has not been fixed or replaced!! I have a Samsung side by side that I bought a year before Whirlpool and never had a problem with it. I bought it from Home Depot also, along with a stove microwave and dishwasher. I will be sticking with Samsung and Home Depot from now on!
I would like someone to explain to me why the control panel I.e. brains of the dishwasher which is around water is so sensitive to WATER. My daughter is the owner of the house and purchased this dishwasher last summer (2016) and within weeks we were having issue with the sensors. This supposedly was not covered under warranty (it was a WATER ISSUE). So now a dishwasher which cost over 700.00 is a door stop!! Where is people€s common sense... yes Im over 60 years old and very frustrated with the money that was spent for such an inferior product. Imagine having a dishwasher sensitive to water. The people who made it should give their heads a shake. Frustrated grandmother.
Whirlpool Cabrio washer w103386894 - I have had nothing but problems with this piece of crap washing machine. Either the clothes come out soaked at the end of the spin cycle, or it gets stuck in a cycle and repeats. It makes so much noise you can hear it through the whole house. It is less than three years old and now it is leaking water. I had a base model Sears Kenmore that I had for over 12 years and it died from old age. This Whirlpool is pure crap, do not buy.
Whirlpool Duet Sports washer purchased 11-08 was found defective by service technician due to improperly secured bolts on counterweight at factory. I contacted Whirlpool service and was informed that warranty will not cover any parts or labor. I ordered parts for repair. It will take at least 2 weeks until arrival and repair of item. Clothes washing now were taken to town for washing at additional expense. After repair, only 90 days of warranty was given by the service technician. The cost of $260 to repair item for a possible life cycle of only 90 more days seems ridiculous.
What a piece of expensive junk! Do not buy it, does not clean clothes well, lid broke, lock broke, now it just wont start. Parts are super expensive. Next one I buy will be a basic washer, forget all the bells and whistles!!
We purchased a new Whirlpool Cabrio washer, model #WTW6340WW0, and dryer unit 2 1/2 years ago. We did our research online; Consumer Reports got great reviews everywhere. We went to Lowes and was told that this set (washer/dryer) was the top of the line in top load washers, so we purchased it. Now 2 1/2 years later, our washer is out of service, bad power board is the suspect and maybe the pump. I have heard that there may be a class action lawsuit coming down the pipe against Whirlpool and would like to know more info if it is. We paid nearly $1,000.00 for the washer and like other complaints, we were led to believe that we would get 10-14 years service out of the unit. But that did not happen. I think Whirlpool, Consumer Reports and Lowes should all be held accountable for misrepresentation. I can assure you that all of their executives received attractive bonuses for misleading the consumer. I would not recommend Whirlpool to anyone, Consumer Reports nor Lowes.
WHIRLPOOL WASHER FOR SALE! Your clothes will come out just a bit dirty, but thats OK isnt it? (You can see for yourself.) Oh yeah the Smell. OMG, its a heavenly Wet Dog smell. I know youll be as happy as I am with this WHIRLPOOL CABRIO WASHER. I almost forgot to mention, that most clothes will come out dry (not because of the high power spinning cycle) so youll save on your power bill, since you€re not using the dryer... This is a must have WHIRLPOOL CABRIO WASHER - NEW, ENERGY EFFICIENT. Youll use little to no water, another savings! But youll spend a wee bit more for the HE detergent, sorry! Oh yeah I forgot to mention its still under WHIRLPOOL 1 YEAR WARRANTY. Youll BE GLAD YOU PURCHASED THIS WONDERFUL MACHINE... Just as I am! :-)Back ground & Information about problems: A) We purchased the Cabrio Model# WTW5840BW0 washer 8 months ago and it has been nothing but trouble. And yes Im very busy in the summer - always on the go with school, kids, vacation, homework, finals, and work, etc. For the past 2.5 months. Started off by not spinning out, first problem. Does not fill up on deep washer cycle. Clothes come out as dirty as when I put them in. I have pictures. Some clothes never get wet; no water touches them (Small/Large loads). Now whites are coming out with yellow blotches on them. The clothes smell like Wet Dog - yes wet dog. Ive used the Powerball cleaner three times in 8 months. Yes, a service man has been out. He recalibrated everything. Now it€s worse. He is/has ordered ALL new computer parts, and I do mean ALL. If you need to replace every computer part on a brand new machine, I feel as if this alone, is a red flag€ Wouldnt you agree?Im not happy with your Whirlpool Cabrio Washer and no longer want this washer. Maybe a different one, but not this one! It has been nothing but a headache. What can be done? Ive called Whirlpool USA 4-5 time being on endless hold @ the 800-253-1301 number and finally today is the first time talking to a rep. The young man was nice; however Im still no closer to getting this machine fixed today! Ugh. I would not recommend the CABRIO WASHER to anyone at this point. You can understand, cant you? B) Sad ;-( I had to tell my husband he was right and I was wrong about the new washer, and not to mention the smell he has been complaining about. Yuck...Explanation: I had washed towels in the new WHIRLPOOL and did not get around to folding them. Then after washing last night outside (yes outside) in the ole GE. I was folding the towels and happened to pick up the first set washed (Whirlpool); put them to my face and sniffed, yuck! WET DOG came to mind. Then sniffed the ones washed in the GE and he was right. I was wrong! Ugh... A $800+ Whirlpool is in the laundry room yet, Im outside on the deck - again yes Im hanging out with the mosquitoes on our deck washing clothes with the good ole GE. (It€s outside because it need a shutoff switch, or something like that.) Lesson learned the expensive way, dont buy a computerized Whirlpool washer. Its money down the drain... Needless to say Im not happy at all with this product.
I purchased this water heater (Model# E2F40RD045V, Serial# 1122T461615, Product# 0826354) 1 week ago (Oct. 17, 20011) and it has been installed only after 5 days (Oct 25, 2011). It has yet to heat the water more than warm. I called Lowes (Oct. 21, 2011) and tried to return it only to be told that I would have to get an authorization number from Whirlpool. I called and Whirlpool wanted me to trouble shoot the problem. I had to have an OHM meter and amp meter to do so, which means that I needed to have an electrician present to do these test because I dont own any of these things. I was then told that they could send someone to my house, but I may end up paying for this. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that she would tell me the same thing. The call ended when I told them that I guess I would have to do the best I could because I was not getting any help from them. Out of desperation, I went back to Lowes and got a new heating element to try to fix this problem myself. I installed it and it still did not work. I called back the next day and still did not get any help, I was only told that I needed to have these meters on hand to trouble shoot the problem. Why is it that I have to do this? The lady did not seem to care that I did not have any way to handle this problem. I felt that this problem was my burden and not Whirlpools for putting out a defective product. I have in my home about 5 new Whirlpool major appliances and have been a loyal customer for many years but after this incident, never again. I will also be advising my friends how Whirlpool has treated me. I am very disappointed with your customer service or should I say lack of customer service. I was told that had I said that the water heater was leaking, I would have been given an authorization number immediately! I still do not have any hot water as I sit here typing this complaint. I am sure that Whirlpool is really concerned as you have my phone number and address and your representatives are aware that I am very upset but still no one has even tried to help me other than telling me that I have to trouble shoot the problem. As far as your rating go with me you get an F!
I purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator from Home Depot in Nov, 2013. Model is WRF560SEYWOO with water in the door and bottom freezer with ice compartment. This is a very small refrigerator for my very small space. I swear these companies program their appliances to break down exactly 1 month after the warranty is up. Thats what happened to me. Dec 2014 this horrible loud humming noise started. You could hear it out on the sidewalk! Then the door with the water just detached from the bottom and screws and plastic pieces fell out all over the floor. The day the repairman came he noticed all the rubber lining in the doors was detaching and huge chunks were falling off of it. He called to get replacement parts for everything and whatyaknow, all parts for this unit have been discontinued!This is what we did to cope with all these defects. The noise was caused by ice building up around the exhaust fan because the unit had stopped defrosting that area, so every 3 days I have to get out my hairdryer and melt the ice at the back of the unit. Next we MacGyvered the door so that it is resting on the freezer door. Next, he brought in some tape and taped all the pieces of rubber falling off my doors!! This frigging frig cost me $1,653.00!! I AM FURIOUS. Why isnt Con. AFFAIRS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?!
I purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator from Gerhard€s Appliance, Glenside, PA on 12/15/2011.There have been problems with the unit since it was delivered on 12/19/2011. The doors were not the same height. There were stains (which looked like rust) on both doors. A shelf on the door and one in the fridge were missing. One of the deliverymen adjusted the door height then, and the door has been creaking on opening/closing since. That door has been replaced, but the problem continues. The freezer (which has an icemaker/water dispenser built in) started to produce ice on the inside of the unit door and on the wall surfaces. Attempts made to rectify the problem were unsuccessful. A new freezer door was ordered. After the door replacement, the frost problem got worse. I can fax you a copy of all service contacts so far (at least 7). Please help me replace this lemon.
I was pleased with the look and performance on my dishwasher. It did sometimes leave some food particles, but, overall it did a good job. I really dont remember the model since it has been a few years since I had it.
Worst appliance we have ever bought. Our last fridge (also stainless french door) we had for about 14 or 15 years and only the door bins cracked that we put gallon milk jugs in (dont do it - they are too heavy and get warm from the door opening). This fridge is a piece of junk. We were told it was stainless - rust spots started appearing the first year. The deli drawer lid broke within a month or two, but I didnt care about that so I just threw it away. The ice machine stopped working a little after the first year. Today however is what got me to write a review - I spent a couple of hours trying to duct tape and make wood supports to hold up the frame for the produce drawers - one of which is totally cracked when it fell from having the support break. While doing this I noticed there are hairline cracks on the front of all 4 of the shelves! Also, this one has a wire basket in the bottom instead of a full drawer - probably more supportive, but it means stuff constantly falls into the bottom of the fridge and it is extremely hard to get in there to clean.
18 months ago, we purchased a Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer. Having previously only purchased Whirlpool washers and dryers for over 40 years, we decided to continue because we had enjoyed positive experiences with all of our previous purchases over the years. Now, our washer has quit working properly, the door locks and wont open on the washer and the repairman arrived today with parts to replace based on the code messages popping up on the washer screen. However, now, hes not certain if the motor has burned out or if it is some other problem. We also purchased a French door frig from Whirlpool barely 13 months ago (bottom freezer) and recently had to have that repaired when one of the electronic boards went out and the freezer quit working and icing up.In both of these cases, the appliances started giving us problems just as soon as the warranties were up; what has happened to Whirlpool reliability and dependability of their products? We cant help but feel that our China-based parts are part of the change and will, in the future, not purchase any more Whirlpool products. We are grossly disappointed and feel cheated with these appliances.
We have had our catalytic oven explode into millions of hot pieces again for the 3rd time. Contacting them they sold me an extended warranty which Im trying to cancel and have been trying since 30th Mar to contact on ALL of their lines. It is permanently on hold or engaged. This company should be avoided at all costs. If you work for this disgusting company DONT!! You will be out of work soon! It is unbelievable how bad they are at responding to their (now ex) customers. What the hell are we in the EU for when a supposed UK co is Italian and they never respond (AKA 1940). Ludicrous! Incompetent! Stupid! Totally without comprehension. Do NOT buy ANY INDESIT or HOTPOINT products EVER!!! They are dangerous and you will NOT get any help to put them right.
Does not get clothes clean. Period!! Takes just over 1hr. Noisy, lasted 3 1/2 years, transmission broke, take the warranty with a washer/dryer. Whirlpool was the top of the line, front loaders give less trouble, agitators clean better, go for the cheaper versions, our loaner Whirlpool, WTW4850H or WTW4950H washes quicker and cleaner than the Cabrio Energy Star.
We bought our Whirlpool Cabrio 7 years ago and it was great at first. I have not had any trouble with it ripping clothing. The clothes are clean. Its constantly breaking down. First it was the drain pump. Then the main computer board went! I called Whirlpool and of course the lady says its not covered. I had back up though. Google is amazing! I asked why this wasnt a recall as all over the web, people had this same problem. I pushed and pushed and she put me on hold. Came back to say it was in fact covered. What? Really? What changed your mind? She wasnt allowed to tell me. Supposedly had something to do with the date of manufacture. So okay, they send the repair guy out, its fixed. Now tonight, the lid locks and nothing happens! This repair was about 6 months ago. Grrrrr. Its been one thing after another with this hunk of expensive junk. When I buy an appliance I expect it to be problem free for far longer than this. I am not getting a code or anything, just dead air. So frustrating with three kids not being able to do laundry when I need it randomly :( Has anyone else had this problem? The lid locks, then does nothing. I unplugged it, pressed off and restarted it. Changed settings. Nothing is working.
Our recently purchased stove top is an average appliance. The surface is easily scratched just from paper towels when cleaning. Today for no apparent reason the igniters all started firing and continued for a good hour....I would definitely investigate other brands before purchasing again.
I purchased this Whirlpool Cabrio washer three months ago from hhgregg. If I hit the lottery, the first thing Im going to do is take it to the dump and buy a new washer. There is no way to wash a load of towels in this machine. I started a load at 7:35 this morning and it is now 9:53 and Im still dealing with the drain and spin cycles. Over and over, I try to get it to spin out enough water that I can put the towels in the dryer. I should have suspected something when I saw that the washer even had a separate drain and spin cycle. It should have told me something. Its a piece of junk. Never again. Im back to Kenmore.
I HATE, HATE, HATE the aqua lift clean feature. Its awful. The bottom came somewhat clean but cook bacon and the sides and top are filthy and the aqua lift cant clean that. I dont know how this ever made it past the thought process stage to become a thing but it needs to go away. Im quite cranky right now as Ive just spent two hours scrubbing my oven while reaching past the oven door that doesnt come off because its a self-clean oven. This is what I have to look forward to for the next 10 years until it dies and I can get a new oven? What a joke!!
We bought a new stove from Lowes in 2015 which is a Whirlpool with an AquaLift self-cleaning function. This function is totally useless. We have tried it several times and it does not remove the grime from the oven. We did not even have a very dirty oven. It doesnt clean the sides at all and the bottom is still dirty. I complained to the store and they told me the AquaLift function should be used every time the oven has been used. They recommend that I use a spray for the oven (which is porcelain) and scrub off the dirt. Give me back my old self-cleaning oven with the high heat. This new technology doesnt work.
After 14 years of good service with Whirlpool Duet front load washer dryer set, wife chose Whirlpool kitchen appliances as part of a kitchen update project. All matching fridge, range, microwave hood and dishwasher. What a nightmare! The icemaker growls and whines all the time and the dishwasher was broken before being packaged at the manufacturer. A wheel from the middle rack was missing when the dishwasher was opened. It wasnt in the sealed dishwasher nor in the box. So it had to have been broken off before the item was boxed. We called for warranty claim and A-1 Appliance was recommended out of Shreveport, LA. In a few weeks he showed up, looked at the rack for a while and said Ill have to order a new part. I said fine. (How hard can that be? Right?) So here we are 5 months later, unable to use the middle rack because it cant hold any weight with the roller missing. Multiple calls to Whirlpool and A1 and we keep getting promises and runarounds that turn out to be lies. How hard is it to say go to your local Lowes and well authorize them to give to give you a rack from an in-stock dishwasher? Let Lowes wait on the new part! Sounds simple, and any other company would have done that, or told us to return it to Lowes for another one. But NO! Whirlpool just whines about being behind on parts, shorthanded, or lies about the part is in and its A1s problem now.So, today, same story. A1 says they need 2 parts. **! Its one part. Whirlpool says A1 has the needed part. Same old runaround. So, we just replaced our 14 year old washer and dryer with NON Whirlpool units. $2500 more in of appliances that Whirlpool could have gotten, but Im guessing they dont even care about missing and losing sells. They certainly do not care about warranty, parts, quality, customer satisfaction or repeat customers. Never again with Whirlpool! Beware!
I love my Whirlpool refrigerator, its great. I have not had any major issues with this brand. I only wish that the freezer was made a little different. Im not a big fan of the side-by-side doors. I would much rather have the one with the freezer at the bottom and the fridge at the top...
I like the Whirlpool oven ranges because it is easy to operate, easy to clean and like the features and functions. I have had no issues with the stove and I have had it for four years already. So far still working good.
I have had my Cabrio for a year now and quite frankly, I find more satisfaction taking all of my laundry to a local laundromat. There is no soak cycle and when you have a kid in sports, that doesnt help. There is no agitator, and I am now convinced that they were originally in all washers for a reason. My clothes have all worn out and are shredding, not to mention my very expensive bath towels that I am now cutting into rags. This was the worst purchase I have ever made in my life and will never even look at a Whirlpool again. When I bought my house, I had a Maytag that was 35 years old and it did a better job than the new Cabrio. Should have stuck with that brand!
This is our second Cabrio w10550273a. The first one was just as bad as this one. It was replaced under an extended warranty we bought. This washer just like the last one constantly gives a UL code. Thought the washer and load are level.
Whirlpool Washing Machine Model WTW4950XW0 - This washing machine was purchased as a gift by my father. We have owned this machine for about 2 years. I am very disappointed with the quality of this machine. I have 3 children and several pets. I use my machine a lot and need a quality item that will last. This machine is not that item. Within a few months, the machine was off balance and bolts had to be tightened. We have had problems with the belt, bolts coming loose and the machine not draining.More recently, the machine has become very loud... For approximately the last 6 months. My husband has taken the machine apart and looked for anything to be wrong with it and has found nothing. Now the machine is not running. I will turn it on and it fills with water and then stops. I will clear it out and restart it and it does the same thing. Another issue has been with spinning and draining. The clothes are soaking wet even after the drain/spin cycle.I have researched what could possibly be wrong with this machine and have found a vast number of items that could need replaced. With the money I have already put into fixing this machine in the past and the amount it will cost to fix it this time, I believe I will be further ahead if I buy a new machine made by a different company. I will not be buying a Whirlpool product again.
Mid-sized, mid-range dishwasher. It is noisy, not quiet at all, and we must speak quite loud over it if we want to be heard. The wash cycle is quite long... not really a water saver.
Purchased my Whirlpool dishwasher in 2005 model number GU2500XTPQ3. So it worked for about 10 years and I am fairly happy with that but I have a warning, my control panel shorted out putting out thick black smoke and I was unable to turn off the dishwasher. I had to turn off the switch at the breaker box. If my wife had of been the only one home she would not have known how to turn it off and would have had to call the fire department. I dont know if the short would have led to an actual fire but with that much heat I have to believe it would have. Warning, dont run the dishwasher when no one is home. Hope this helps someone.
I had one of the first Maytag Neptunes. Loved it to pieces but finally had a problem and my beloved repair guy said it was almost 20 years old so to give up and move on. Obviously, cant be without a washer for very long so grabbed this Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum Washer. One of the biggest disappointments ever! Clothes come out streaked and splotched, dont smell very fresh or clean even straight after having been washed, stains dont come out even with pre-treating, have to run everything on heavy duty, whites are getting grayer by the week, and all-around horrid performance.Im ready to give up my Starbucks, start packing my lunches for a couple months, skip whatever treats I have to in order to get back to a quality machine that can actually WASH CLOTHES. I wondered exactly what it was or wasnt doing so I stood over it for half an hour. Initially, it loads up about a gallon of water and then spits it out over the rotating drum of clothes. Then it stops and spins that water out. I suspect the design logic was that it would force that gallon of water thru the clothes taking some dirt out with it. It repeats that stupid process several times. Then it finally gets a few inches of water in the bottom and the vestigial agitator tries to move it around.I watched one hand towel lie on top like a dead weasel, never getting pulled down or pushed out or whatever it was supposed to do to get down among the other items and squish together. Life throws me everything from sick kids spewing body fluids to people coming home reeking of hydraulic and other industrial fluids. When I say clean I mean CLEAN. This piece of junk couldnt satisfactorily process half a dozen dust rags. Neptune, Im coming back with my hat in my hand and a whole new appreciation!
I was going to write a negative review after our Whirlpool stove oven stopped working. We only had it for three years. Technician€s visit today was $70 for the information that we would be better off buying a new one because the motherboard is gone. However, after reading all the horror stories which are already here, I realize that we are relatively lucky - at least, our stove worked for 3 years... Still very disappointed and unhappy. No more Whirlpool products!
Bought new dishwasher on 11/29/2013. Model #WDT710PAYM. The top rack cannot hold much weight. It keeps collapsing. One side keeps falling out of the track. Had man in for repair, still doing it. They sent me a new rack and rollers, still doing it. Having repair man come back again in a few days. I am so disappointed with Whirlpool. I cant believe they went so cheap in building these machines. I gave away a whirlpool gold that was 20 yrs old and it is still going strong with no problems. I just wanted to update up kitchen with stainless steel appliances. I will never buy whirlpool again!! This cannot be fixed. It just doesnt fit tight. Im stuck with a bad dishwasher and shouldnt be.
I bought a Whirlpool refrigerator because it was the lowest priced model that offered a bottom freezer compartment and fit into our available space in the kitchen. We also want a white coloured appliance. One thing we never noticed until set up at home was that there were no ice making trays nor an ice bin. We have had the fridge for five years with no problems. It is quite noisy when running.
My brand new oven kept turning off automatically. When reported, they kept sending a technician who kept lying to both parties regarding what the issue was. Whirlpool customer service people have been extremely rude and declined to fix the issue although my oven was under warranty without giving me proper reasoning for their actions. I am truly dumbfounded with this experience!
Whirlpool Refrigerator: Model # WRT111SFDW - We bought this frost-free frig. in Feb of 2016 and this Feb. before the year was up, it started freezing up. I called the Co. and they sent a young man to my house to fix it and he thought he had. Well 2 wks after that it started freezing again and I called the Co. again and the same thing happened again and this was after my warranty had expired. Well then this young man came out and replaced the fan and a heating rod I believe to help it to stop freezing. Well 2 days ago it started freezing up once again. Im disabled and live on a fix income so now Ive got to figure out to get me another frig. And it WILL NOT BE A WHIRLPOOL REFRIGERATOR. But kudos to the Co. and the young man for trying to fix it even though it took 3XS and still not working.
I had my Whirlpool electric stove for about fifteen years, I have had a couple minor problems with it. The oven temperature sensor went out, I bought a new one online and replaced it. The stove top eyes get warped from uses. Really no big deal. Ive had good luck with it over the years. Its the standard 30 inch white. I paid over $400. It will probably last me another 15 years, I dont see why it wouldnt. But then I know how to fix appliances. I think the only reason why anyone would replace a stove is because of the color or it caught fire or wont come clean. The mechanical isnt a problem because you can rebuild them so easy.
I purchased a new gas water heater from Lowes and paid a plumber to install it. I have been having problems with it staying lit. Once I noticed the issue, I notified my plumber and the plumber was aware of this on-going issue with these water heaters. The plumber told me to call Whirlpool and have them send me a new thermocouple. Ive been putting it off until now, but realized today over the phone with Whirlpool Customer Service that the problem is with the vent. The manual that came with the water heater has a horizontal venting installation, yet Whirlpool claims that it should be vented through to the roof and they sent me, via email, the correct manual. When I asked Whirlpool how the plumber was supposed to know, she said that he should have known that it was not the correct manual (even though there is no model number written anywhere in the instructions manual) and that we should call to make sure that we have the right manual before installing my next product. So, I need to double check every purchase I make! Or is this only with Whirlpool products? After speaking with two different Whirlpool reps, I have concluded that I need to purchase a new water heater, but believe me, it will not be another Whirlpool!
I€ve always bought Whirlpool appliances. They last a very long time. My washer is an old Whirlpool Ultimate Care II I€ve had for several years. My dryer is Whirlpool MOD WED4800BQ. Both working great for many years. I just bought a Whirlpool Fridge MOD WRS588FIHB00. All are worth the money for long lasting appliances.
I purchased a Whirlpool French Door refrigerator (G16FDRXXY07) from h.h.gregg appliances and electronics in Columbia, South Carolina, on August 3, 2012. It was delivered and installed on August 11, 2012. It functioned well for three weeks, and then temperature of refrigerator dropped to 25F. Vegetables and eggs got frozen. I made a service call to Sloan Appliance Service as soon as I was aware of the problem. In the 3rd visit, the thermometer was replaced after troubleshooting. After replacing the thermometer, the temperature of the whole refrigerator got higher than it was supposed to be. Refrigerator got around 53F, and freezer got 34F. All foods in the refrigerator got spoiled. In the past six weeks, the company sent technicians to my house to check the problem, and they tried to fix this refrigerator for 5 times. The situation got worse and worse. I have not had a functional refrigerator for 6 weeks. A technician came with a compressor on 10/22/2012 to see if replacing it could fix the problem. When he cut the copper pipe, he found that refrigerant was leaked out. There is no refrigerant at all. He refilled refrigerant without changing compressor. Because he thought the leak was slow, it should be caused by the evaporator. He thought it should work and last long enough when a technician comes back with evaporator replacement. It turned out what the technician thought was wrong. The temperature of both refrigerator and freezer did not drop to normal, 53F/34F. The problem persists. I called Whirlpool customer support line several times. The response I got was that Whirlpool would not replace for having manufactured a faulty appliance during manufacture warranty. They can only keep sending technician onsite to check and repair. For 6 weeks and 5 times onsite visits/repairs, this newly purchased refrigerator still does not function.
We replaced our 20+ year old washer and dryer with a Cabrio set. I read the instruction booklet twice to make certain I did everything correctly. Ive washed two loads. Both times, the clothes were in a ball at the bottom of the washer. Everything was horribly wrinkled. DO NOT BUY this WASHING MACHINE UNLESS YOU want your CLOTHES to COME OUT in a WRINKLED BALL.
We purchased a new home April 2013. All our appliances were new Whirlpool stainless. Looked nice. After almost a year our microwave started acting improperly. Beeping, changing screens, not working when buttons pushed. Then the micro wave had a melt down and caused the glass try to break, parts to melt and caught fire internally melting plastic. Notified Whirlpool and they sent out individuals to repair. After several weeks the repair was completed and we were advised that they did not understand why this would or could happen. We should be fine now. Well we are now again having this unit beeping, changing screens, not working when tried, and when entering numbers, number and time are not what was trying to be entered. This unit my wife says is possessed and she wont use it. She fears it will burn the house down. It is Velos model TR 2 24 11000 serial number. It now beeps and changes with door open as I read the serial number.
Whirlpool Dishwasher model # WDT720PADB. Replaced an old Maytag that was 12 years old; cleaned great but finally the pump gave out. From the first day that we cleaned dishes with the new Whirlpool, the dishes were not as clean as the old Maytag and totally wet even when the heated dry cycle was on. Repeated calls to Whirlpool customer service and two technician visits and still the same results. We end up drying every load by hand. Now after 14 months (two months out of warranty) only the silverware wash jets are working with all other zones inoperative. This machine is a plastic piece of junk and all it takes is one look at the cheap construction and components to say that Whirlpool engineers are competing with the Chinese made brands. This boat anchor is going to the curb tonight! Never again will Whirlpool get my business!
Hot water heater model #0833T402747 purchased late 2008 - Several service calls had to be made to a plumber, due to this unit not working. The door assembly was shipped to me by Whirlpool. I had to pay again for the plumber to install this part. Hes been here 3-4 times since I bought the unit. Last Wednesday, May 2, 2012, no hot water again. The same plumber came out and said the door assembly had again gone bad. Whirlpool was contacted on Thursday morning and would not agree to do anything. They were given my plumbers name and number and I never heard back from them. I contacted Lowes in Acworth, GA and they agreed to replace the hot water heater. So now Im forced to pay for another install. I requested that Whirlpool pay this expense, and their representative, **, said no. I intend to sue them for all monies spent on this lemon and due to this lemon, I will never buy another Whirlpool product of any kind. I have told family and friends and theyve agreed that due to the bad product and worse customer service, they will also stay away from purchasing anything made by this company. Whirlpool certainly wont be hurt by me and me alone. But Ill make sure that anyone I run into at Lowes or anywhere else is even looking at a Whirlpool product will get an earful from me. This is the type of customer service that consumers dont have to put up with anymore. There are many resources on the internet to get the word out and I intend to spend a great deal of my time doing just that.
We bought our Duet washer in 2007 with a three-year warranty. In 2010, the washer started banging so we called it in for repair. It was determined that the bearing on the drum was bad, so the entire drum assembly was replaced because the poor design of integrating the bearing into the drum. Almost one year to the day, our washer started banging again. The washer is no longer under warranty. We were told the parts are around $400 plus and another $400 for labor.The repairman was from the store we bought the washer and he is a certified Whirlpool repairman. He related to us that this is a very common occurrence for Whirlpool washers because they are using cheap foreign made bearings. He services this problem on a weekly basis and Whirlpool will not do a recall because unless it is a safety hazard, it is not a concern to them if consumers have to pay out the nose for cheaply made parts. This repairman informed us that during training at a Whirlpool class, he learned that on the main board of the washers, they could put a 2 cent lamp that would indicate a bad board which would simplify diagnosis, expedite repair and reduce service time, but Whirlpool wont do it because it isnt cost effective. The repairman told us that we can call customer service until we are blue in the face, but Whirlpool wont give a ** because it is out of warranty. He sees this happen all the time with Whirlpool. My wife called Whirlpool Customer Service just to be told we are ** even though the cheap, crappy bearing that went bad was done under warranty, a year earlier.Well Whirlpool, I guess you lost another customer who will make sure that you lose a lot more customers. We are going to take our business elsewhere and we will make sure all our family, friends, neighbors and coworkers know how bad your customer service and poor attitude is toward consumers. If you cant back your products when you put cheap foreign garbage parts in your product, then you need to lose business and get out of the market.
I apparently am one of the lucky ones to have an electric water heater. My unit started giving me failure codes during the Christmas holidays. Each time it would fail, I would get a different failure code indicating the upper element, the lower element, and a sensor failure. After testing all 3 of these components, it was determined to be a controller issue. After speaking with Chris on the phone, he overnighted a new controller to me. I installed the new controller and had no more failures. Hot showers for New Years! Thank you Chris.
Broke within a year, company wouldnt back its product. Went out for another range, chose a different brand. Make sure you know the companys policy in case of breakdown. Sometimes, even though it might be an off brand, might turn out to be the option. Think outside your norm, listen to employee, other consumers. Just because its on sale doesnt mean it actually does its job.
My machine has been ripping clothes for a few years but I thought, initially, that it was a snap, zipper or hook causing the problem. I recently got fed up and found this: **. It makes it pretty clear that it is a manufacturing defect. I called their customer service centre and spoke to a supervisor that told me it is normal wear and tear and that perhaps the glass in the door had worn out. Yes, thats right, she said maybe the glass has worn out.They are offering ZERO assistance in what would be a $500+ repair for me. Admittedly, my machine is five years old and out of warranty, but to me, when the repair is to install an entirely new style of door so that the clothes no longer get caught underneath, it is a defect. 43 different models of their machines are included in this issue and it was identified in 2012, a year before my machine was made. Why didnt they correct it before that?
We have these appliances in our apartment. Its a gas range with a microwave over the hood. We did have the microwave replace a year ago, we have been here for 5.5 years. Its a good stove, we would consider buying one for ourselves.
Went to Lowe€s, as my old fridge died. Gets delivered & guys wore masks. After they leave the NOISE of fridge I could hear in bedroom! I called right away had to wait for a replacement from XPO about a Week. Guy shows up stinking like ashtray, No Mask to €repair€ my brand new Loud Fridge. Heck no was to get replaced. I called Lowe€s 3 times & XPO twice. It€s now June 4th. I€m still waiting! 25cubic Serial #HRX0654908. Horrible customer no service!
I purchased this washing machine December 16, 2011. I paid $737.07 for this machine. 14 months later I had to repair the top of it which cost me $255 for the lid which the plastic around the lid was cracked. I had to pay $136 installation fee and two years later the exact same thing happened again, the plastic cracked. I have contacted Whirlpool which took a complaint - said that was all they could do. Ive contacted the store where I purchased it, they can do nothing. I read online there are many complaints about the lid on this washing machine. It shouldve been a recall. I will never purchase a Whirlpool product again. I will not pay to have it repaired again. I will give it away and purchase something else not whirlpool and not from Lowes. I expected some kind of compensation from whirlpool on this. I have all my receipts.
Whirlpool Dryer Model WED4815EWO and Whirlpool Washer W10682799 - I have always had great results with Whirlpool products. Both are energy efficient and save on operating costs. I purchased them three (3) months ago. The washer locks during the wash cycle. That took a little getting used to. I have always been able to rely on Whirlpool products. The top loading washer (W10682799) is energy efficient and high capacity. It regulates the water level so you dont have to worry about wasting water. The matching Dryer (WED4815EWO) has a sensor to regulate your drying time or it can be manually set. I appreciate the worry free, self-regulating functions on both the washer and the dryer.
I purchased a range and refrigerator from Whirlpool and have had nothing but problems with them ever since. Ive only had the range for years and (2) of the top burners are no longer working. Again, the refrigerator is only 5 years old and its handle has broken 5 times. I have needed to replace the handle every year that Ive owned the refrigerator. Whirlpool only offered a (1) years warranty for these faulty appliances and then immediately started to bug me about purchasing an extended warranty. I guess they knew that their junk would hold up, so they started pushing a warranty. Finally, their customer service while apologetic, are very robotic and appeared to have heard my complaint before. So, SAVE YOURSELF SOME AGGRAVATION AND PURCHASE ANOTHER BRAND. For if you dont heed my warning just know that youve been warned.
We have had our Whirlpool range for probably 20 years. We have never had any issues or problems with it. Our washer and dryer are both Whirlpool too. I would recommend this brand 100%! I think this is the brand that my mom always had too. Their products are very well made and last forever (it seems like they do!).
I recently purchased a top of the line self-cleaning Whirlpool/KitchenAid range. Or so I thought. I used the self-cleaning feature for the first time only to find out it literally does not do anything. Whirlpool quickly answered my Saturday morning phone call and were very professional. When I told them the Aqualift did not work, they asked if I purchased the Aqualift kit. No, what does it contain? Two sponges and a scraper. Basically I was told I would have to clean the oven manually. That would be fine except I have osteoarthritis and cannot clean it manually. Shame on Whirlpool and KitchenAid and Consumer Reports for not doing their due diligence and not testing important features accurately, over a greater period of time with real day-to-day scenarios with people who actually know what they are doing.
Phone calls took too long (30-45 mins each). Connection was bad. WHIRLPOOL APPLIANCES ARE **. Whirlpool appliance was poor quality, broke down and not fixable. Unable to find replacement dryer ANYWHERE that will match my existing washer stacking kit. The loyalty program discount is a joke.
Bought a built in oven August 30, 2018. Oven stopped heating two weeks before Thanksgiving. Repairman fixed it. It is not working again, two weeks later. Bought from Best Buy. They will not take it back. Whirlpool will not replace it. UGH!!! $ 1,600 down the drain. Will no one help?
I bought a full kitchen appliance package 3 years ago, the gas range Clock LED started cutting off the line at the top of the numbers... when the range was about 1 1/2 old... Now 3 years later the range doesnt hold its oven temperature, the cost to fix it is $230 more than what I paid for the range. Whirlpool is unwilling to stand behind their product or provide a replacement part for a reasonable price. So now I will be buying a brand new range and the 3 year old Whirlpool will be taken to the dump. I will never buy a whirlpool appliance again. I thought Whirlpool was a good brand and a reputable company until now. Please beware when buying appliances, whirlpool is not reliable or reputable.
My $1800 French door refrigerator is only 20 months old and the ice maker has quit working. They sent out a repair person 5 times and replaced parts three of those times. Now they are saying it is unrepairable and are refunding my contract fee of $345 and leaving me with a broken ice maker. When the problem started it was making ice just not dumping it. Now it doesnt even get water. Throughout this all, two months, I have had to constantly call them to find out our next move. They say someone will call me in 2-3 days but they never do. One of The last people I talked to said, Well you can still keep food in it. I dont feel that is reasonable considering I bought a refrigerator with the ice maker in it. I finally called Whirlpool corporate instead of the service contract people to see if anything could be done and was told someone would call me back in 2-3 business days. Well its been a week and big surprise - have not heard from anyone. It is looking like we will have to purchase yet another refrigerator in less than two years. The service people I talked to were rude and really didnt seem to want to help at all. I believed when I purchased this Whirlpool product that they were a reputable company. Sorry to say that is not the case at all. I dont know if the refrigerator is really unrepairable or if they just gave up trying to find the issue. Seems hard to believe a basically new appliance cant be repaired.
Absolutely read the reviews on this machine before deciding on a purchase. I have experienced with great frustration every issue addressed in other reviews. Clothes constantly have to be rewashed. The Quick cycle will leave your clothes in a puddle of water. But then there is no spin only cycle to correct that. I have purchased Whirlpool washers before with great satisfaction but this machine is not worth the money I paid for it and does not save me on water or electricity costs because of all the rewashing I have to do. Like others I am stuck with this machine until it dies. You lost me as a customer, Whirlpool.
Los llamé. Lowes me dio un número. Hablé con un hombre del servicio de atención al cliente. Me atendió. En 30 minutos estaba en Lowes. Les di la orden de compra. En casa en 45 minutos. Whirlpool es el mejor en Johnson City TN. Ustedes son como Lowes. Yo pago por Whirlpool porque ustedes lo hacen. Gracias por todo lo que hacen. El mejor.
Bought a Whirlpool 25 cu ft side by side in 2011 and now just 4 years later the compressor is bad. Called them and they only have a 1 year warranty, which is nothing for a compressor. They told me for $350 they could replace it and it be good for only a year. Not going to sink more money into a product even the company has no confidence in. The repairman advised to stay away from Whirlpool as they were not the company they used to be. Also the salesman at Lowes where it came from said they used to have a 5 year warranty but changed several years ago and the quality also went down. We have had refrigerators last 25 to 30 years in the past but no more thanks to modern technology. Thanks a lot. STAY AWAY FROM WHIRLPOOL!
Whirlpool sent out a repairman to fix my range. I had it for 3 years, and one day I was baking cookies in the lower range and boiling water for pasta on the top left burner. There was a very loud pop, a bright flash in the glass top where the back left burner is, then there was no power to the range or oven at all. No clock display, burners would not work, oven would not work, nothing. As if it were unplugged. Of course, my warranty was about to expire in approximately 6 days (go figure) so I called the customer service line for repair. After 2 hours of back and forth with 3 different people, I finally had a technician coming out 4 days later. He shows up, takes about 35 minutes to get the glass top off, then says to me that he needs to order a part for it. This will take a few days. Ugh. Fine. 3 days later, part comes in. Same guy comes back out, fixes it. Ok.Up and running fine for about a year and 2 months. Then... POP! It happens again. Same scenario, different menu. (I was cooking breakfast). Now, warranty has run out and I have a $1,300 piece of scrap metal sitting in my kitchen. Worthless. My old KitchenAid stove was great. Had that thing for 13 years. Never a problem outside of replacing a $68 heating element one time. I paid $450 for that range. Tossed it out for this bells and whistles newer stainless steel glass top range/double oven. Regretting that tremendously. Whirlpool will be on my do-not-buy list for any appliance from now on. Didn€t even last 5 years. Oh did I mention the service call cost me $85? Yeah... Garbage!
I have a Whirlpool cabrio washer (Model: wtw6300 Serial Number: CT3573525) and I am very disappointed with it. The spin cycle is the worst--sounds like a jet engine and gives me the UL error message of unbalance load. The machine was purchased in 2007 but was kept indoors. At the beginning, I didnt care because I had warranty with BrandsMart. I had to call at least four times. But now, I bought the automatic control and it didnt work. For two days, I was trying to balance this machine but it is impossible since the beginning.I contacted customer service and they advised me to contact the repair service in my area to get a diagnostic analysis of the issue. Hello! I already know what the problem is after reading all these reviews! I cannot tell you how pissed off I am. I will never purchase anything Whirlpool. Two of the gas burners of my Whirlpool kitchen, after two years of use, are no longer working. I will definitely contact BBB as soon as possible. Come on, fellow complainants, let us continue to fight to get a possible recall soon! We all have the same problem because this is a manufacturing defect!
We purchased a new Cabrio top loading washer in June of 2011 to replace a Maytag Neptune (thinking at the time that wed gone as low as possible). We didnt abuse the machine. In fact, because it had a tempered glass lid (in a plastic frame), we were careful with the lid on the machine. It broke during a wash cycle. Because its heavy, the lid has spring supports on both sides; these are stronger than the plastic frame and over time the frame will break, rendering the machine inoperable. The discounted price for a new lid is over $200, and Maytag (I mean Whirlpool) tells us that it lasted through the 365 day warranty, so the bill is on us. It may be green when it works, but taking 18 month appliances to the landfill is not very green. And others on the web report say that the lid only lasts a year or so. The ratings scale needs to have negative values. Id give this appliance a -5.
When I first purchased the dishwasher I had to call Whirlpool to come out because although I was using a drying agent as Cascade, the dishwasher lower door remained wet causing water onto the utensils. Whirlpool came out and said it would take a few washes until the inner part of the D/W would acclimate to the drying agent. Well the lower door where the utensils basket sits does not dry in its entirety so its a defect, not the drying agent. Also, the decibel 55 is quite loud we cant run the dishwasher during the day, its too noisy and distracting.
Me han regalado una lavadora y una secadora sin ventilación para mi condominio. Tarda un poco más que una secadora normal pero funciona muy bien. Cabe perfectamente en un armario.
For the most part, the dishwasher performs well, but I wish they would ask the input of women when designing appliances. I just can€t figure out how having spikes on the top and the bottom racks is supposed to help in organizing your dishes better for proper cleaning.
Dryer panel broke washer. The smell is so gross I will need to throw it out. I used only HE detergent.
I am questioning my loyalty because the last two Whirlpool fridges have been repair prone, and have bad design issues for ice dispensing. The dispenser door doesn€t close reliably and lets the ice maker warm up and melts the ice. This supports my rating.
I bought my house in 2009, and the previous owner bought this refrigerator in 2005. By 2012 The light and temperature read out went out. A circuit board had to be replaced. I have a home service company that I pay for yearly which takes care of the appliances. As usual, the fine print on the back of the contract said circuit boards were not covered. When I went online to purchase the part, the cheapest I could find it was $180. My service company said they would not cover it because they break down so frequently, with Whirlpool as the biggest offender. They gave me a discount and charged me $125 for the replacement. Whirlpool is making a fortune on these defective parts, which last long enough during the warranty period, and then you are on your own.In 2015, after the refrigerator was 10 years old, the compressor died. Hundreds of dollars of food spoiled. My service company said I was covered for the replacement, but I would have to wait 5-7 days for the part to come in. I was so furious that a refrigerator of this age would break down on me. The repairman told me he has seen these Whirlpools break down after 5 years. He said they are junk. When I was young, we moved into a new 20 story building in 1963. All the apartments had the same refrigerator made by Frigidaire. I lived there for 26 years. When I moved out in 1989, that refrigerator was still there working perfectly. It never needed a repair. I never heard anyone complain about theirs either. How is it that in 1963 a company could build a workhorse of a refrigerator, but in 2005, Whirlpool, a company in business since about 1911 makes this junk? I will never buy a Whirlpool product, and will tell the world not to do so as well.
I highly recommend a Whirlpool dishwasher. Ours is a simple model. Cleans well and is quiet. It is 7 years old and I am glad we chose this model. Very happy with Whirlpool. All of our appliances are Whirlpool.
My husband and I purchased a Whirlpool French-door Refrigerator in Feb. 2014 from Best Buy. We did not purchase a warranty through them (BIG MISTAKE) because everything we heard about Whirlpool was positive, at least through friends and family. 1 year and 6 months later we have NO freezer and their warranty expires a year after purchase date! I called the company and they are no help at all! From all the comments I have read on here, there are few positive results! From now on I will be checking all reviews before I purchase a product again and WILL NEVER buy another whirlpool product again!
Purchased this refrigerator, Model # WRS965CIAH on October 3, 2014. Paid extra for counter depth. Initially the refrigerator worked fine. After about 9 months we noticed the food in the back of the refrigerator especially on the top shelf started freezing. This started getting worse over the next 2 months. When I called Whirlpool 10/19/2015, 800-253-1301, I was told by their representative that this was normal, that air from the freezer blows into the refrigerator through vents and to just re-arrange my food so that it is not pushed to the back of the refrigerator. I asked him if this was normal why wasnt this happening in the first few months but only developed later? He had no answer. I asked him if it made sense if this was normal then everyone who buys this refrigerator has to make sure their food is not pushed to the back of the unit, then why dont they state that in the directions for use??? Ok everyone make sure every day you push all your food to the front of the unit so it doesnt freeze ridiculous. He just said thats the best thing to do. I asked him if I could talk to a technician, if maybe there was a way to fix it manually and he said there were no technicians there. I asked him if he knew about the lemon law and he said they dont have that there... ok. The refrigerator is just days after the 1 year purchase so he basically said just to call where I purchased it that Whirlpool could do nothing for me. Is this how Whirlpool trains their employees??? Good job Whirlpool, way to go. Luckily I purchased the extended warranty. Will see how the repair goes and report back. Did not call sooner due to health issues. Its not like the refrigerator is years old and started to break down - this is within a year. Whirlpool doesnt care about quality. Will never buy Whirlpool again and will spread the word as often as I can.
What a POS. Havent even used the thing to cook a meal yet and already some chunk of metal fell out from the port at the top left inside the oven (behind the vent). It was clearly cheap pot metal. What else is this thing made out of?
After owning the Cabrio washing machine (WTW5700XW, purchase price $629) for approximately 18 months, it began stalling at the spin cycle, leaving the clothes sopping wet. We found we had to unplug the machine to reboot the computer, and then we were able to manually choose the drain and spin cycle to complete the cycle. Before beginning a new wash cycle, we have to unplug to reboot again, or it sticks in a perpetual pump cycle.I scheduled a repair appointment from the Whirlpool automated service system. The repair man determined the computer control panel has to be replaced. Diagnostic service call was $136, repair est, $321.67, repair service call, $60-130. Total repair cost on an 18-month old machine was $520+. I declined the repair in hope of getting extended warranty coverage from Whirlpool. Nobody has responded to my email complaint from one week ago, not even a computer acknowledgment of receipt of my email.
Purchased a Whirlpool Cabrio washer with the glass lid. This is not a good washer to buy! The clothes do not get clean. Have to set it to bulk to get enough water to even cover clothes. Biggest issue is the lid. I have had to order a new one as it cracked on both sides back by control panel. I took the old lid off and discovered why the lid cracked. I have read many complaints about this same issue and everyone said Whirlpool would do nothing about it or even acknowledge there was a problem.Here is the problem. On each side there is a spring to hold the lid up while in the open position. The lid is plastic. When I tried to push those lid pins down with the lid off they would not go down. The springs are too strong for the plastic. When the lid is down the springs are trying to hold the lid up, so they are pushing against the plastic. Given time the springs win out against the plastic and the lid cracks and breaks. I am just a simple housewife and I figured this out! I hope that every manufacturer that is making glass top lids STOPS making them out of plastic, uses metal instead, uses a spring that is not as strong, or foregoes the current design and comes up with something that is better. It is for certain that I will never buy another Whirlpool appliance!
I have a rental home and my residence, I have purchased a fridge for BOTH places. Within 1.5 years, both of the fridges shelving cracked. Customer service will not do anything to remedy this. It is a known issue with his model of appliance. There are numerous complaints and they DO NOT stand behind heir product. NEVER BUY WHIRLPOOL.
We purchased a Cabrio top loading washer WTW6400SW2 and 2 Cabrio Dryers WGD6200SW1 (one for our cabin) in 2007. Since day one the washer tied clothes in knots, never cleaned the clothes properly, and went out of balance several times each load. We purchased from Best Buy who did their best to service the dryer (black, rusted vents replaced inside dryer). But as for the washing machine, we were told there was nothing they could do. The repairmen stated Whirlpool was aware of this issue and doing nothing. When I called Whirlpool, they said no repairs were logged for the washer. No, of course not. The repairmen said there was nothing they could do! This went on and on until our machines went out of warranty. Now Whirlpool happily tells us with glee in their voice that its out of warranty and there is nothing they can do. They know there is nothing they can do. The design is faulty! The line needs to be pulled out of manufacturing! Whirlpool did say they would log a customer complaint on the design. Right. Im sure they dont have any of those yet. Whirlpool is defrauding the consumer with products they know are defective. Please people, do not purchase any Whirlpool products. Put them out of business where they belong.
Whirlpool Refrigerator 36 inch #WRF993FIF. We have owned refrigerator for 3 months and both ice makers went out. Worst customer service ever with Whirlpool and their appliance specialists. Ordered new ice maker, but still broken. Whirlpool is saying it needs a new door!!! I have asked for a new refrigerator, but cant get anyone to respond. I have called 6 times being on hold one time for over 30 minutes trying to get a scheduled appointment for a new door! This is by far the worst service that I have ever received from a company.
Washer doesnt get soap out of clothes. Had tutorial from service man. Must use extra rinse every time and still have soap on dark clothes. Worst washer I have ever owned. Makes washing a lot of extra work and frustration. Have tried everything to no avail. Takes at least three times longer to wash clothes with all the steps I have to take to get soap out. I understand EPA demands for less water usage, but clothes still must be properly cleaned.
Whirlpool Cabrio washer - Its very expensive and it quit after 3 years. Repairman said computer component went out and it would cost $450-$520 to repair and it wasnt worth it. He also told me I should have read reviews first. Whirlpool said I should have bought extended warranty. No more Whirlpool appliances will be bought for our homes or business.
I bought a Whirlpool washing machine from Home Depot 4 years ago. It immediately started to grow mold in the seal even though I wiped it clean after usage. I called a certified technician to replace the seal. As he was removing one screw on the lock the Washing machine shorted out essentially destroying the panel and rendering the machine broken. I called Whirlpool and told them that the machine was defective otherwise, why would it do that? My technician has worked on hundreds of machines and this is the first time this has happened. The two managers I talked to refused to help me because I didnt have an extended warranty.It is true that I dont have an extended warranty but also, I had faith that Whirlpool had sold me a good product. There is no other explanation for the washing machine to do that other than it was defective. I asked the managers to send me replacement parts, but they refused to do that. The last machine I had was a Maytag that lasted 20 years and when I gave it away, it was still working. I expected no less from the Whirlpool I purchased at Home Depot.
Our 3 1/2 year old dishwasher is falling apart. First the left slider broke on the top rack. We ordered a replacement part ($74) and when ready to install, discovered the right rack was also falling apart. At that same moment, the rollers fell off the bottom rack! It seems the plastic parts cannot tolerate the heat in this dishwasher (just a guess). We€ve returned the new replacement part and are shopping for a new dishwasher. It will not be anything from the Whirlpool line!
Will never buy another Whirlpool/GE product again. Nothing but problems. Paid $1700 for a Whirlpool/goldstar refrigerator 2 years ago. Problems from the start with slide-out shelf cracking, evaporator fan burnt out within 2 years, digital display cannot read anymore. Now have another problem again - not cooling. Going to the trash. No wonder your stock price have dropped. I would sell off to. Whirlpool/GE have been going down hill for the last 5 years. Maybe more. Cheap products, do reflect, it just a matter of time, I would think you would address these issues in your product line, but it shows your company is all about profits instead of quality of products. Keep going like you are, and you will be bankrupt. Cheap overpriced and nothing but junk in any products you manufacture.
I purchased a Whirlpool classic range model number rf263LXTS0 on January 2010. We had some hang-ups on the kitchen renovation and were not able to install the appliances until May of 2011.I used the cooktop that evening and was very pleased. I then went to use the oven 2 weeks later and it did not heat up. I asked the contractor to check things out (maybe it was something minor that he could fix). He checked the things that he installed and everything on his end was working fine, so he told me to call Whirlpool.A service technician came out and, within 10 minutes, said that the oven controls were defective.I paid $450.00 for the oven originally. The service technician charged me $136.74 for 10 minutes to tell me that the oven control needed to be replaced (that is the major part of the oven) and that it would cost me $318.41 to replace the part.I called Whirlpool and explained my circumstance and Paula, the supervisor from Tennessee, said that there was nothing she could do. I told her that even if I installed the oven back in January of 2010, the major part of the oven should last more than 1 and 1/2 years.What terrible craftsmanship and crappy customer service. It is sad that customer service cant stand by their product and Whirlpool has to rely on making their money on repairing defectives products. I now have to go out and buy a new oven. I also buy a lot of appliances in my business and I will never buy a Whirlpool again.
I purchased two Whirlpool refrigerators 9 years ago and this year, 2018, both of them died. Bad compressors that cost up to $700 to replace. Repair folks would not guarantee them as there could also be other issues, like leaks in the internal parts of the refrigerator. I have a 20 year old frig (Kenmore) in my garage than runs great, no repairs and is in a non heated area. My conclusion is that that Whirpool reduced cost by making cheap products.
We bought Whirlpool Gold Series on July 6, 2014. Refrigerator, range, microwave & dishwasher. Our refrigerator - we have the repair company out almost every month cause the icemaker was constantly icing up and wasnt making the ice cubes single, would come out all attached to each other. So after arguing with Lowes and Whirlpool we were able to get a different refrigerator in February of 2015. Now in April 2015 we are having trouble with our microwave with the light flickering off and on when we open the door and sometimes it work and sometimes it doesnt. The repair company has been out 3 times for the same problem telling me that where the door closes are 2 latches that when not lined up cause this issue, so the repair company replaced the 2 latches and a month later it started happening again. So they came out and replaced the light socket. Now we will see how long that last.Now for the range which is the AquaLift Self-Cleaning which doesnt clean the oven at all. It was like I was back in the early 1950s, only worse. The baked on grease spots, you cannot get off at all. To me this is false advertising and the stores personnel lied to about all you have to do is pour 2 cups of water in the bottom of the oven, press the self-cleaning button and after 40 minutes of cleaning and letting the oven cool a bit you just have to wipe the oven down with a damp cloth and the oven is clean. Not so much!!!Wish I had all my old appliances back because they were made to work correctly. The new appliances suck for the amount of money you pay for them. So please beware and do research on the appliances you want to purchases otherwise you will get ripped off with no satisfaction for your hard earned money you spent on them. I have always had Whirlpool appliances and have loved them but these new ones we purchased are nothing but junk.
Does everything its supposed to except get the clothes clean! Nothing gets clean, even on bulky setting when theres supposed to be more water in the machine!
I purchased my stove in June 2020. I had no idea it was to be connected to the internet, but no big deal. Had I known of all the other quirks I would have thought twice. 1: A red light comes on to tell you a burner is on but not which one. 2: A red light appears when a burner is hot but it doesnt show which one. 3: Only 3 burners out of 5 can be used for cooking the other 2 are warming and melting ONLY. 4: The stove updates its software whenever it feels like it and shuts off the oven and burners. 5: Periodically I have the oven on and it just turns itself off!6: The touch controls for the oven are in a bad spot because if you accidentally touch them when the oven is on the oven will shut off.Not sure if it has any serious problems just the inconveniences listed.
Weve had this washing machine only a few years, and our household of 2 probably averages 1 load of laundry per week. Weve always had the same problem everyone has with the detergent stains on clothing and having to rewash loads, and the only remedy weve found was using the oversized loads setting and rewashing a load. The last straw was 6 months ago. It quit going through a complete cycle and would not spin out without resetting it. Then it quit spinning out at all. Service Guard, a 3rd party warranty company, diagnosed a faulty motor and ordered a replacement. After a long delay Whirlpool advised it was back-ordered for 3 months. A week ago Whirlpool advised them it was now back-ordered until 5-27. They did not know whether wed ever obtain a replacement motor. After taking clothes to our sons house for a couple months to wash, we purchased another used machine to use until ours is repaired. It is beginning to appear that machine may be our permanent machine. This is a pretty sad testimonial about whirlpool. We have always used Whirlpool appliances but appears we may have to switch brands. And it certainly does appear these low water machines are garbage. Very disappointed in Whirlpool.
The electric Whirlpool double oven range seemed like a good choice for a single person. I bought it in 2016 around the same time I had some personal setbacks. After finding my emotional equilibrium I decided to return to my much loved baking. While I have no other complaints on this range the ovens are a problem for baking. The digital oven temperature readout doesnt reflect temperature fluctuations in the ovens. Once you enter your desired baking temp the readout never changes even after you open and close the oven door say to take out cookies. Given some of my poor results I suspect even when Im not opening and closing the oven door the temperature is not maintained. I was going to get an oven thermometer but the user manual says it wont reflect an accurate temperature due to way the elements cycle to provide a consistent temperature. Ha! If you want to bake this is not the range for you. My inconsistent results and too often wasted ingredients frustrate me no end.
Our new fridge, which was already an exchange from another unit that went bad, kept freezing things in fridge compartment. A tech was sent out three times and then the compartment quit working completely. They stated they would replace for us, only way they would replace was to have them ship a new unit which would take two weeks. So we are without a refrigerator for two weeks. Asked if I could go buy one and be reimbursed. I could but I would NOT be reimbursed for full amount. The company reps I spoke to could have cared less about our situation especially Fred who supposedly is a supervisor. Do yourself a favor...DON€T buy Whirlpool. Their customer service sucks!!!
