Whirlpool duet washing machine dooe handles

-   Same problem. Can't seem to get Whirlpool to offer any help. The plastic is cheap and I don't want to keep buying another cheap handle!

-   I have the same problem having replaced the washer door handle three times. As a Plastics Engineer this is one of the poorest designed components I have ever seen. I think this was on purpose to sell replacement parts at tremendous markups. Doesn't speak very highly of Whirlpool does it? -   Guest

-   Yes, We have had the same problem. We have replaced the part about 3 times. The store where we bought the handle sells them to us for about $3.

-   My door handle just broke yesterday!!! I couldn't believe it when I tugged just slightly to open the door and the handle came right off in my hand! When my husband got home I showed him and he too was shocked, looking at the warranty and finding out that it was up the DAY BEFORE and then to find out that Whirlpool wouldn't event cover it anyway! On top of all of that the window on the front of the door is cracked straight through the middle. This happened when I opened it too far! What? Why would the door crack that easily? After paying over 2,500 for the set I am dumbfounded by the **** quality! -   jnd1231
