our Whirlpool of indeterminate age has died. Heavily out of balance, quit/shut down, tripped breaker and shows no life. Opened it up, started checking electric through main switch. No joy. Probably the problem, complex rotary unit. Looking to replace whole unit. Recommendations? Brands to avoid? | ||

Speed Queen. The low end one, with agitator. TR3000 or some such. They redesigned in 2016 or so, and people hated them, so they brought back the old school washer with dials, not electronic touch panels. From another forum:

Perhaps a tribute to the longevity of today's appliances. I just replaced a top of the line, 10 year old Maytag set with a 9000 series from LG. Costco had a great price with an included extended warranty. The Maytag set was problematic for years.

No complaints on our Whirlpool Cabrio. Going on about 5 years now, IIRC. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Kenmore to Amana HE, the plastic dials on the Kenmore disintegrated into tiny pieces and there was no easy way to replace a $10 dollar part. Simple is best. Lots of research equals less money spent and dump the useless frills.

If you want a traditional small washer (3.5 cubic foot) and don't care about HE, then Speed Queen is the way to go. Personally I like a washer closer to 5 cubic foot. I've have had Whirlpool cabrios (top loader) in my house since Jan 2014 and they've been flawless and they see 25 loads a month. I also have a set of Front loaders from 2010 Whirlpool duets in a 4 unit apartment building, they were absolutely flawless until a tenant broke the door latch, I replaced it rather than replacing the latch because I figured 9 years without a service call is a very good run for a unit that probably sees 40+ loads a month. The Maytag counterparts are just as good. | |||

Just asking, but is this one of those rules that are nonexistent and normally brought up by non mods?? | |||

Did I say it was a rule? I provided a link to a thread with several answers to the OP’s question. Did you answer his question? | |||

I have owned my basic Maytag washer and dryer for the last 25 years, and they are both still going strong!! I just purchased the basic one with the dials, and no electronic pads. | |||

I thought would share this. I know there is interest here for them. This is from a distributor. Speed Queen announced that they are extending the warranties to 10 years. I am no sure if it is region specific. If you are looking get with your dealer. You have to register the serial numbers within 60 days of purchase. There is a specific code to use.
