Whirlpool Front-Load Washer Recall 2023 — Tub Bearing Failure Fire
Hazard: The main tub bearing can fail prematurely (within 2-4 years), causing the inner tub to contact the outer tub during the spin cycle. Metal-on-metal friction generates extreme heat that can ignite the rubber door boot seal or tub gasket. Whirlpool received 34 reports of bearing failure and 7 reports of fire or smoldering.
Remedy: Free in-home replacement of the tub bearing assembly. Whirlpool dispatches authorized technicians. Repair takes approximately 90-120 minutes (major disassembly required).
