What are some common problems with Whirlpool washing machines?

As of 2015, customers have complained of Whirlpool washers being unable to clean clothes effectively. The glass tops also break after a short period of use. Many of the washers break down due to a circuit board problem, and the repair is not cost effective.

Whirlpool washers consume less water, but this makes cleaning inefficient. These machines reportedly work best when in the bulk wash mode. The glass lid breaks easily from the plastic support, due to its heavy weight. A few customers report mildew growth in the front-load washers. Whirlpool technicians take long to respond and dismiss major problems, citing them as not covered in the warranty.
