    I hear a little bearing noise, probably not worth repairing. Not a loud bearing noise either. I watched a video where the washer leaked. That’s probably what caused it to wear out, because water leaked into the bearing. It’s not too loud, my VMW has a really loud bearing.

      @@appliancealliance4444 Have you’ve seen a VMW with a really loud bearing, I’ve seen the issue on multiple. I believe a Kenmore 25102, my own Whirlpool (WTW4900BW0), and an Amana NTW4516FW. My uncles machine is a Kenmore Series 500 model, it looks like a 25102 to me, it has a loud bearing like my Whirlpool, I believe my aunt got the NTW4516FW with bad bearings. So it’s actually common on these models. I’ve might’ve seen more with bad bearings, but I don’t remember them. These are the ones I can remember. I’ve seen a VMAX, it’s a newer one too, model MVW7232HW, that thing is running with bad bearings too and is in my other uncles house. I might’ve seen more VMAX machines with the issue but I didn’t remember those really. Since I know of about 3 VMWs and 1 VMAX that activity has a bad bearing. I haven’t actually seen a bearing issue on an older Whirlpool Cabrio in a while, I think the owner of the MVW7232HW used to have an older Mayrag Bravos with bad bearings, but it was since replaced. I haven’t seen an older Cabrio style washer with a bearing failure in such a long time now. All the ones I’ve seen recently actually have good bearings. Washers can run with bad bearings for a while. I believe mine had the issue for like 3-4 years, and it still works today. Mine has had a bad bearing for a while now, it’s really loud but it still runs today. Smurdle450 had a washing machine run with bad bearings for eleven years, I believe I know someone who has a HydroWave with bearing issues, and that machine still runs and had the bearing issue for like 11 years I think. It’s an Infusor HydroWave. The modern Whirlpool VMW machines (except for the porcelain tub versions) seem to have bearings that rarely fail. I haven’t seen a bearing failure in a Whirlpool washer with a 4.2 cu ft capacity or higher.

    I’ve owned LG appliances, Samsung appliances, GE appliances and even Maytag appliances. They don’t make them like they did 30 years ago to last 20 years. The average life expectancy on any of these appliances is roughly 5 to 7 years. I moved into my house that had generally new appliances and I’ve had to replace the built-in microwave, the stove/oven And an LG refrigerator that had a 10 year warranty that had the compressor go out in four years. LG did not wanna honor the warranty because it said that it would not be able to replace that same type of machine. After going round and round and arguing back-and-forth, they finally paid me about half of what I paid for it. so I spent $1600 on a refrigerator that four years later they replaced it with giving me a check for $920. Needless to say I don’t buy LG appliances anymore. Samsung had a lot of issues but they did send a repairman out, but from time to time we still get Issues with that appliance. Knock on wood I’m having good luck with my GE refrigerator. The only issue I have with this particular model is the speed and the size of the ice cubes are not worth the icemaker. Icemakers in general are a problem in most brand of refrigerators. It’s better to just buy a 10 or 20 pound bag of ice and keep it in a Standup freezer.

    • @Ayram9
      @Ayram9 3 дні тому

      My friend and I both bought 1940s and 1950s stoves/ranges partly for this reason. They can typically be easily fixed and the parts tend to stay available because they're universal parts used in different industries. She's now looking for a vintage fridge for the same reason but I want the modern features more than she does (I want counter depth, filtered water and auto ice) so I've learned the best thing I can do is read reviews the best I can and get the longest warranty possible and cross my fingers. I also know that door ice and water have more issues so the last one I bought just drops the ice down into the freezer. It'll still go to crap sooner than later I know. Sucks. Maybe if I could afford a Sub Zero that'd help but even those probably don't last these days. Needless to say, Samsung is the worst of the worst. They say a basic Maytag is currently the most reliable fridge.

    From all the research I've done and what I've personal heard myself from an appliance technician, there is no competition for the speed queen brand. We just bought the speed queen FF7009BN front loader and we are hoping it will show us why their brand is so praised. That being said, the first day we use it, it has minor leakage in two areas, the detergent drawer and the bottom of the tub door. They said they will likely have to send a replacement unit, because that's what they had to do last time, you can't fix it on the spot. Not the best introduction to the brand, but if the replacement does well, I will be at ease. If the replacement fails us, I will surely be pissed off.

Put powder (better for machine and environment) directly in the drum on your clothes. If you must use the dispenser most would say not to use the feature you bought it for. The thing is that even without that feature it's still a better washing machine than most. I learned about all this before I bought ours and just accepted that loss from the get go because of all the other features. I felt better knowing powder is better for both the machine (avoiding dispenser) and the planet so this was a sort of calculated compromise.
