I have tried to search, but all I get is irrevelant posts. I have a 2014 Aspire 44B with the washer/dryer stacked in back bath over the toilet. The washer has been acting up for some time. We had it repaired at our PDI and the warranty is out by 2 months now. It is so much troube to remove, I don't want to attempt a repair, but replace it with a new one and hopefully not have to remove it again for some time. I want to know if anyone has any suggestions on removing it or any suggestions on replacements. I know I will have to remove the doors, but am wondering if it would be easier to remove the toilet also. My wife found an Electrolux with steam that gets good reviews. This Whirlpool did not fare to well so I am leery of another. Any thoughts?

If it was repaired under warranty and is still not working, I would call Entegra CS.

This washer has been acting up for a while. It stops occasionally in the middle of a cycle, the display freezes. The door has been adjusted a couple of times because it would not start sometime unless you slammed the door. I get A10 error occasionally and have to reset it. Now it is making a strange grinding sound when the tub is turning during a wash cycle, doesn't do it during spin. It is a pain to get to behind the toilet, so I don't want to be dragging it out again for repairs. If I take it out, I want to go back with a new one and be done with it so I don't have to try to get it repaired on the road. It is only a couple years old, but out of warranty and I would rather spend money on a new one than throw money at this one. Mama ain't happy when the washer don't work. I was mainly trying to get some input on installation. I wonder if anyone has replaced theirs and if they had any tips to make it easier. The 44B has the washer beside the closet in the back bath behind the toilet.

We've had our coach a week now and about every third wash get the A10 error. Thinking the filter was plugged I removed the front lower panel the TP holder is attached to in order to gain access to the filter. It would appear to remove the unit, which may be the next step would require removal of the bottom panel, top face trim, plate holding washer and dryer together, and unplug/disconnect vent and hoses. It would not appear the toilet would have to be removed. Perhaps someone with experience can confirm this.

We had ours changed under warranty and watched the techs do the R and R. doors, top and bottom panels and they were able to get it out without removing the toilet. It took 3 machines before they got one to work. In the process they broke a piece of wood trim behind the toilet. 15 months later and numerous phone calls we are still waiting for the dealer to ship us the replacement trim. Gave up on the dealer and will have the trim replaced at our PDI in Middlebury.

Ours had the same intermittent A10 errors since the day we took delivery. They were random and of course would not replicate while in for warranty repairs. It finally died six months after our warranty expired.

After being given a $500 board replacement estimate with no guarantee of it actually fixing the issue, we opted instead to replace our out of warranty washer and dryer with the Ariston models by Splendide.

They work great and despite the cost we feel we made the right choice. Getting them out, especially the washer was a task. However, we did so without removing the toilet. It just takes a pretty burly tech to make it happen.

Later on the person who we gave the washer to told us that the root cause of the error messages was a set of electric motor brushes that were stuck. Of course that was after they had replaced the alleged bad board as well.
In short, not a big fan of the OEM washers.

Hope that helps.

Can someone identify the OEM washer/dryer that is a problem (manufacturer and model)?

Thanks ... looks suspiciously like a Majestic.

Mine is at the dealer right now getting washer replaced. Concrete seemed to have come loose and it was trying to beat the sidewall out. Dealer said they have had some problems with these doing this.
