A Canton homeowner called about their Whirlpool washer that doesn’t know what cycle to go on and wasn’t properly washing clothes. Upon inspection, we discovered significant internal damage that made repair impractical.
The Problem
The customer reported that their washer doesn’t know what cycle to go on and they think it’s not properly washing their clothes. The machine was experiencing cycle confusion and poor wash performance.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed that these are in corroded, transmission leaking. The internal components had deteriorated to the point where major repairs would be necessary.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None
- Work performed: Diagnostic inspection and assessment
- Result: Determined repair would cost approximately $1100
Is It Worth Repairing?
With transmission and corrosion issues requiring over $1000 in repairs, this Whirlpool washer has reached the end of its economical service life. Modern replacement units offer better efficiency and reliability than investing in major transmission work on an older model.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers
- Clean the door seal and dispenser regularly to prevent buildup that can cause corrosion
- Use HE detergent only and avoid overloading to reduce transmission stress
- Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Whirlpool Affresh tablets to maintain internal components
