Whirlpool Washer - Cabrio Top Load WTW6600SBT Review

We bought our Whirlpool Cabrio in July 2007.  One month later we started getting the F1 error and washes would cease with clothes sitting in a puddle of water.  It took 4 visits by repair men over a period of a month for them to finally decide to replace the drive unit.  Needless to say our ability to wash clothes was severely restricted and hit/miss during this fiasco.  I called Whirlpool several time to ask them if they could just take this @#@#%& machine away.  Of course they wouldn't do that.  The machine ran OK for about two years after that but now it leaks while running.  It appears to be coming from some kind of pump inside.  Of course the warrantly has expired.  I have never owned such a troublesome washer, or any other appliance, as this thing....no more Whirlpool stuff for us.
