Then yesterday our nice new washer stops working. Not only does it stop working but when we open the door it dumps water all over our floor. Not what one would expect from a 3 month old 'high quality' machine. "There seems to be a lot of water in there" I say to Gretta. "I don't think it's draining. At least it's still under warranty." we say and we decide and schedule a repairman to come next week.
I'm still more than a little bugged that our washer broke already so I do a little Google research and find out that maybe the filter is clogged. I also find out that parts are covered under our warranty but not labor. I figure I might as well save myself a service charge if it's just a clogged filter. So we pop open the washer to see what lies in the filter.
Okay so we find some loose change, some thread and a paper clip. Huh ... that shouldn't be unexpected when designing a 'quality washing machine'. Let's reach up the drain hose a little and see what we find.
Okay so there is a hair elastic, a bobby pin, and the broken handle of a measuring cup. The measuring cup handle is a little odd. Did that really break my washer? Let's just check to make sure nothing else is stuck in the drain hose.
A sock? Really? My 'high quality washer' decided to drain a sock? It's not even a baby sock. It's a full on manly cotton poly blend Daddy sock. It seems like that should have come up in the early design stages of any washing machine. Maybe we shouldn't allow clothes to drain with the water. Maybe people will wash socks in this thing sometime and we should have some sort of sock blocking device in the drain. Sigh .....
Anywho, I have cancelled the repair service and the 'high quality washer' is washing again. Thank you Google for once again saving me money, and thank you Whirlpool for convincing me to never buy another one of your appliances again.

That's too funny.
Hey Nate, if it makes you feel any better, our Bosch dishwasher molds our dishes. Crappy "high quality" crap.
I don't like whirlpool either, your story is too funny!
When your model or outfits dryer isn't cleansing your outfits effectively, it can add hours on to your day-to-day to-do list. Whether a damaged machine has you driving to the Laundromat or a substandard outfits dryer has you line-drying everything from bluejeans and footwear to linens and shower, it appears to be like you need professional washer-dryer repair.
