Now that I think about it it was the tranny that was leaking and replaced under warranty. The motor had gone bad last Dec. initial repair the tech said it was the belt and replaced. Problem persisted and further inspection was the motor. Parts and labor estimate was pretty high so we elected to go with a middle of the road Whirlpool for the same money. So far so good but all of the new stuff is so damn electronic. Time will tell.Mechanical Timer Top load Washer TC5 Models (5000 Series) • Three (3) years parts and labor limited warranty on the complete washer. • Five (5) year limited warranty on cabinet assembly against rust from the inside out. Year 4 through 5 parts only limited warranty. • Five (5) year limited warranty on the motor. Year 4 through 5 parts only limited warranty. • Fifteen (15) year limited warranty on the transmission assembly. Year 4 through 15 parts only limited warranty.
If its a TC5 the transmission has a 15 year warranty, part should be covered but you need to pay labor, or install yourself.
Early on in our marriage my wife banned me from using laundry equipment so I can’t personally comment ….she is happy with how clean the new unit gets clothes. Happy wife… you know the rest
