We have an intermittent electronic problem with our clothes washer causing it to give the A10 error, been going on for a while, but of course, at our AIR it worked perfectly. So I am ready to give up,

They don't make the 2017 model (Westinghouse) any more, so I am wondering if anyone else has replaced theirs and what unit they purchased. The new entegras use another Westinghouse (I think), that appears to be slightly different in size, not much.

thanks for any feedback

Entegra is now using whirlpool wfw3090dw washer. Ours went bad and we replaced it with the whirlpool wfw5090dw. The 5090 is an inch deeper, has a larger door and tub. DW loves the new one. Both of the above only have one inlet hose, washer heats the water as needed depending on selected cycle.

We replaced ours with a Splendide model in our 15 Aspire. Very happy with it BTW, it will fit thru the door but you need 2 strong people to lift it over the copilot chair and center dash area. If you need pictures of the removal send me a pm with email address.

We replaced ours with an Electrolux model EFLS210TIW. It is much quieter and smoother (no more shaking the entire coach) than the OEM. Dimensions are the same and easily fit. The washer does have a plastic 2”-3” piece attached to the top back side (not sure of its purpose). I had to trim part of it to fit around the drain pipe. DW loves it! X2 on needing two strong people to move them in and out. They are heavy! We have an “A” floor plan, but no reason it wouldn’t fit on a “B”.

We bought the new one from Home Depot. The two delivery men each had a harness to which the fastened a wide strap. Put the strap under washer, pulled slack out of strap, stood up with washer and walked into Mh. Was so easy I told them that was cheating. Anyway put new one in place, took old one out and was gone.

J.H. Excellent suggestion!!! I didn't know Home Depot would install in a MH, they come to you instead of you going to them.

Camping world will install for $150. Nirv lewis match that the price so I had them do it

Yeah Chuck I was going to pick it up at the store, but their delivery and install was no charge. I wound up setting it in place and hooking up just because I wanted to make sure everything was ok.

That is the best deal in town! Their price for the stacked Whirlpools are about the best as well. Learned something new that their delivery and installation will include a MH. Did you have to remove any captains chairs or just turn them?
Thanks for sharing that information.

We left the chairs facing forward. When those guys squatted down and hooked that wide strap, that was under the washer, to their harness they took the slack out of the strap. When they stood up the washer was about three feet off the ground, They just held the washer and walked up the steps. The washer was high enough it cleared the chairs and the bed. Like I said it was so easy I told them they were cheating. It was really kind of funny because I had been looking for a couple guys to help not knowing how they did it. When they delivered the new washer I told them I could get some help if needed. This little skinny guy came in the Mh to look at old washer and see how tough the removal/install would be. He looked at me and said “man that’ll be a piece of cake”. I thought I gotta see this and when I did I had to agree.

I would have liked to have seen that. I wonder how they would do the washer in the B. That doesn't look to be a piece of cake.

Thanks to everyone for the information.

Was going to recommend this thread to you to help with the install. When I pulled it up, I realized you wrote most of it

.

Either way, others have contributed good info too, and a reference to it belongs in this thread.

Our washer has been worked on 3 times and most recently last week. This time they replaced the drive motor, motor control unit (MCU), and the pressure switch. He was going to replace the CCU which was replaced last time, but the new part was DOA out of the box. Fortunately, it was need since the other parts fixed the F06 issue. These parts alone exceeded the Cost of a new machine, but it was still just under warranty by 30 days. Whirlpool gives Entegra a 2 year warranty on washer and dryer. I talked to Whirlpool about just replacing the machine but since it was under warranty replacement was not an option.

If your washer has a history of documented repeated repair’s, Whirlpool has been known to replace the washer out warranty provided it is not over 3 years old. My concern is this washer is going to crap out after February 9 just after I am out of warranty. Whirlpool customer service said call back if this happens and there was a good chance they would take care of the issue. All being said it is still a pain in the As* to remove the 2 units. I know because I have removed them twice myself. Seriously considered buying a replacement brand but that is no guarantee you will not have problems.

Another consideration is that the replacement model’s are dimensionally bigger which in my case may present a problem especially in the width. The new model is 24” wide and my opening is exactly 24”. My washer/dryer closet is very tight.

Also the A10 issue can be the Control unit (CCU), water pump, and/or the pressure switch. These machines do not like a lot of soap suds. I had that issue and F06 code.

Good luck.
