Tub developed a hole in the bottom. I will be checking on warranty replacement since it's supposed to have a 20 year warranty.
Other than replacement, any suggestions on repair?

Is the tub plastic or stainless?
How big is the hole?
Where is the hole? Is it on a flat surface and is the area around the hole flat?
Is it just a hole or is the tub also cracked? |

Is it just a hole or is the tub also cracked? It's on a flat surface of the "plastic" tub. It almost looks like a chip off right under the heating element, about 1/4 inch in diameter. Thanks for asking.

If you have no luck with warranty just add to this post and I will give you what I think will work. It is a jiggery pokery but should do the trick.
There is nothing I know of that will seal the hole without a a backer plate or perhaps a two plate sandwich and some sealant. |

Whirlpool agreed to replace the tub. And will be replacing the coil.
IMPORTANT FYI: Apparently there is a recall on heating coils of GU1500 models.
