Yep. Two years after buying this machine at Tesco we got the rattle of death. Bearings gone. In Ireland Whirlpool gives two years guarantee, but here in the UK their reliability lasts only one year. We will buy a Bosch this time.

This machine often refuses to spin and just leaves the washing soaking wet. Adding items to achieve a spin often works, but it can take anything up to ten attempts to get it to work! What use is an A/A rating when you ahve to spin for ten times to get it to work? Slimy grey/brown deposits build up within the machine and can find its way on to your clothes, getting ground in and being very difficult to remove. Seems its an issue with liquid detergent at lower wash temperatures, despite us using a washer cleaning fluid regularly in the machine. Was told to use bio powder at high temperature for maintenance washes, but this hasn't worked, we still get the gunge building up and getting on the washing. What use is a washer that dirties your clothes? Don't go anywhere near this machine, a waste of your and my hard earned money!!

Awful machine. Bearings went within 6 months of owning it - the whole drum needs replacing when this happens. Whirpool engineer admitted this model has this major fault. Took almost a month to get the part replaced too. Has just happened again - loose drum and tell-tale brown gunk on clothes. Of course just out of warranty. Will never go near another Whirlpool product again as long as I live and hope others take note.

Very, Very Unreliable. Just out of warranty and they are asking for �180 to repair this as the main computer unit went.

I bought my first whirlpool AWO/D4605 waShing machine over sixteen months ago, from argos after six weeks it staRted to make a funny noise the enginer came out and said that it needed new barings,i got on to Argos they replaced it with a new one, just over two weeks agohs the replacment machine brock down the enginer came out and said the control buttons had broken down and would need to be replaced with a new one, that was over two weeks ago,I wiuld advise anyone who is considering to buy a whirlpool not to touch one with a barge pole they are nothing but trouble and the customer service is dire. Yours a dissopinted customer
