Took the machine apart because I was getting UL code on spin cycle only to find my stator to be cracked in 3 places,
However, I found this mysteriously burnt hole in the bottom of the outter tub near the shaft, the bottom of shaft bearing looked rusty as water had been leaking from the hole. So I guess I’m changing the 1. motor stator 2.the bearing kit +the special tool needed to assemble 3. The RPS thing ? I mean after everything this will cost more than getting a new one. Not to mention the time I have to spend on getting the parts and change them out.What a POS that whirlpool is putting out, but I did see their stock drop today that kind of made me feel a tiny bit better… No not really they need to just go outta business, this great American brand had turn to sh!t, what we buying is essentially an American brand that’s assembled with cheap and flimsy Chinese parts, I mean how much money are u saving from using cheap springs that gives out? SPRINGs for crying out loud! Did I pay less cuz it was using cheap parts? HELL NO!
Nothing but disappointments whirlpool u might as well sell to some Chinese company, they will at least sell it cheaper.BTW i will be shorting ur stock because u are no longer fitted to survive
