I replaced the plastic "outer tub" section only to have it do it again in 2 loads of washing. I ran it empty the first time to check it out after repair and it did fine. I left and came home and my wife had done 2 loads and the plastic lip is all to pieces. I took off the back of the washer and all seems tight with no "slack". Can't figure out why it is eating up the "outer tub". at $100 bucks each, I need some help!!!!!:eek:

Sometimes they can be bad but the problem is not visible. I would start by replacing them. If they are not the problem, the support shocks may be it, again some problems are just not visible. Here is a service manual if you do not already have one. https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/eab852a13fbc842085256aa200643dd6/$FILE/Duet%20Job%20Aid.pdf
