I get this question all the time. I decided to turn it around so I can
tell you which washers I recommend you don’t buy based on my experiences and
save you some frustration and money...
Whether you’re shopping for a new or pre-owned washer online or picking one up off the curb you need to know which models you can easily replace the bearings and seal. Otherwise, it will be too expensive to repair. Visit the site above to see all of the models that we offer bearing and seal kits for and you will be good.
Today, we are looking at a Whirlpool WFW94HEAW2 front load washer that when the bearings fail you will not be able to cost effectively replace the bearings and seal because the two tub halves are glued together. For that reason I recommend that you don't buy them. Note: The WFW94HEAC2, WFW94HEAC0 and WFW94HEAW0 is the same washer except for the color, etc.
Have you
been bitten by a bearing failure in the WFW94HEAW2 front load washer? Let me
know in the comments.
So far the Whirlpool washer models to avoid are:
WFW70HEBW0
WFW72HEDW0
WFW87HEDW0
WFW95HEXW2

I will add to the list as I discover more model numbers you don't want to own due to the fact you cannot change your bearings economically...
Thank you,
