The Model is WFW8300SW02, Serial HLU2935883. Rather than "Sport" this model should be named "The Jackhammer" as that more accurately describes the sound it makes. It is so loud that we can not hear the TV two rooms away! We can not run the washer in the evening as it wakes everyone sleeping upstairs!</p><p>We called Whirlpool and a repairman was dispatched. He checked to make sure the washer was level and checked the brand of soap I used. That's all he did. He commented that, yes, these washers are very noisy. He suggested either using no soap (!?!) or waiting for a recall. </p><p>I've called and emailed Whirlpool. They said there is nothing they can do - that the washers are just very noisy. (That's the understatement of the century!!) They do not plan a recall. They said that sending another repairman to check the washer would not be covered by the warranty. (It's apparently not a one YEAR warranty, but only a one VISIT warranty.)...</p>... Mon, 03 Mar 2008 22:08:51 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Whirlpool-Duet-Washer-Dryer-review-63ea3 noisywasher 1
