“I’ll never buy Samsung again. But if Whirlpool is worse ... just dang.”
We have a pair of Tumble Action Maytags in our laundry. They have had manifold problems, and Whirlpool has chosen to not back their products covering known defects, leaving us to foot the bill to make them work. We have a Maytag Washer-Dryer in our second home. Following a remodel that took us five years, we went off and left the washer to finish a load. It rewarded us by failing to turn off it’s own water, flooding about 1,000 square feet of 60 year-old hardwood floors that had just been restored. In that instance, our insurance company subordinated a claim against Maytag (Whirlpool) and they were forced to pick up the costs of repairs.
What a mess. I had something similar and got to spend three days listening to the roar of dehumidifying machines day and night. Argh. Got a new kitchen floor and cabinetry out of it, though, so there’s that.
