My Whirlpool Duet front loader is ripping my clothing/sheets. I checked inside the machine to see if there was anything stuck inside that could be snagging the clothing...nothing. It is mainly lightweight clothing and sheets....all of the rips/holes appear to be the same exact size. When I first got this machine, small articles of clothing would get stuck inside the rubber piece at the opening of the machine. They replaced the rubber with a sturdier piece and now that only occasionally happens. Help! It is ruining a lot of my stuff...some of it brand new.
Hi I have had this problem. Per Technical Service Pointer W10539798, The solution is to replace the glass door to the washer with a redesigned door AND replace the large rubber gasket or bellows between the tub and door. I found the new door (used: part number W10388315 or 8540428) and bellows (new) separately on amazon for about $130 all in. Installation took a couple of hours. Problem fixed.
Yep, I have that problem too. My son's winter coat got wripped to shreds.

I have the same problem. someone suggested lowering the spin speed but it still happens.
Hi, my 2 year old Whirlpool Duet washes is doing the same to our clother. Since the manufacturer warranty is over Whirpool is doing nothing about it. Very dissapointed.
I have the same problem with my 2 year old Whirlpool Duet. Whirlpool is not helping
I also have the same washer and the same problem. I won't even bother calling whirlpool as I know they won't do anything.
I too have the same issue. Doesn't matter the size of the load, nor the speed, it rips something in almost every load. I've lost nearly as much in clothing as what I've paid for the machine. Totally disappointed!
i figured out what is causing it. Its where the drum meets the front edge.
Luis, what did you do to fix it? Can I fix it myself? I'm not too mechanical.
