WHIRLPOOL CABRIO WASHER & DRYER HORRIBLE RUSTING FROM BLEACH FILLER RUNOFF Benton Harbor Michigan

This unit has a terrible engineering/design problem with the bleach dispenser port. The bleach escapes to the inside of the upper lid, where expensive electronics have been mounted. The upper lid and side walls are horribly rusted as a result.  One does not normally open their lid without indication of trouble. The controls have operated well, so no issue was noticed until rust started to appear.  There was also a water control valve that broke in the same area, and I suspect that the bleach damaged that as well.  I called for assistance, and guess what, the warranty had just run out!  Even though this is a major design defect!  My advice is to stay clear of firms that do not stand behind their products.  I am the original consumer.
