First information to all consumers "NEVER BUY ANY WHIRLPOOL WASHING MACHINES".
If you think whirlpool has got a brand image in washing machines then you certainly are going to face issues just after the machine warranty is over.
I had purchased two washing machines from whirlpool one professional sport model and the other supreme care.
Both the washing machines started giving me trouble by the end of 3rd year with the costly motherboard / powerboard failing and I ended up paying huge amount towards spares.
These washing machines have been built to last for only 3 years and then the components start failing.
This is not only my experience but also the experience of many of my relatives and friends.
Hence, never ever buy whirlpool washing machines.
