Reader Mail: More f51 woes

From Marilyn:

I loved my Cabrio until a month ago. At first I thought I was doing something wrong even though this has not happened before ( I have had it for 10 months) At first it was the occasional error code - now I can't do a load without it!!!! I have read a lot of blogs about this problem and am not feeling very good about this matter. The warranty lasts for 1 year. I have two months left - what if this is a problem that they can't solve or that happens again? It seems they need a recall and an extended warranty for this problem to all the owners.

Most of the people have talked about 2 to 4 weeks to get the parts. I refuse to go to the laundry mat to wash clothes with a $1000 washer in my basement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I replaced a 2 year old Maytag ( cost $750) because of a design error that caused a seal to go bad that caused the transmission to go that caused the motor to sieze - according to Maytag none of it was covered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am calling the local appliance store I purchased this piece of junk at Monday morning and hopefully they have a good enough reputation in the area to deal with Whirpool so I don't have to!
