Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

Whirlpool washer purchased for about $600 failed a little over a year after purchase, sticking in drain mode. Whirlpool acknowledged a known 'special project' issue for the model but said this serial number was not covered, refused a grace warranty, and offered no fix. Owner cannot afford another $600 repair.
