A new session of each course starts monthly. If enrolling in a series of two or
more courses, please be sure to space the start date for each course at least two
months apart.
The Ruby programming language uses simple, easy-to-remember syntax, along with a host of special functions that perform many time-consuming programming jobs for you. These features make it an excellent choice for creating dynamic Web pages. We'll start the course by examining what Ruby is all about, including Ruby on Rails, which allows you to incorporate Ruby code directly in your HTML code. Throughout the course, we'll use Ruby on Rails to develop a full-blown blogging application called the Restaurant Review. Then you'll be able to take what you learned and use it to develop other dynamic applications. Today, you'll take the first step in creating your own dynamic Web site by installing a Ruby on Rails server on your computer.
In this lesson, we'll look at the basics of the Ruby programming language. You'll learn how to store and manipulate data in Ruby programs and how to use some of the built-in functions Ruby provides. Data is crucial to any programming application, and understanding how Ruby processes data will make it much easier to complete our course project.
Today we'll look at three features that are crucial to the operation of just about every Ruby program you'll ever create. First, we'll look at structured commands, which allow you to alter the flow of a program based on values within the data, such as a variable. Following that, we'll discuss using loops in Ruby. Loops are a common way to process multiple data items with a minimum amount of code. Finally, we'll see how Ruby can use arrays to hold values of similar data and explore how to extract those values from the arrays.
One of the main features of the Ruby programming language is that it's object-oriented. We'll start this lesson by looking at the general principles behind object-oriented programming (OOP) and how it differs from the regular programming you may be familiar with. Then we'll see how Ruby implements OOP features and start playing with some object-oriented code. We'll finish by digging a little deeper into Ruby coding as we explore how you can customize pre-built objects.
Today you'll find out about the Ruby on Rails concept of scaffolding. The scaffolding process automatically produces generic code for most of the common features contained in Web applications. You'll generate the scaffolding code for your Restaurant Review project and examine its features.
In this lesson, you'll learn exactly how to modify the scaffolding code to customize your Web pages. We'll start by looking at the database model code. We'll add some features that make the code more meaningful for our application, and we'll see how we can easily modify the database tables in the project. Finally, we'll start actually rearranging code in the scaffolding files by altering how the Web pages for the Restaurant Review display data.
It's important to liven up your Web site using common HTML features, as well as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Today we'll walk through the steps necessary to modify the main application Web page layout, and you'll see how to incorporate an external CSS style sheet file to add color to the Restaurant Review project.
In this lesson, we'll discuss how to add new features to the generic ones that Ruby on Rails generated. You'll see how to add new data tables to the project, as well as the Web pages necessary to interact with them. We'll also look at how to create the Ruby code necessary to incorporate the new data on every page in the application by just creating a single file!
Thanks to the popularity of Google and Yahoo!, Web surfers expect every good Web site to provide data searching features. Our Restaurant Review blog will be no different. Today we'll examine common searching algorithms and see how they affect the performance of the application. You'll find out how to use some SQL tricks along with Ruby coding to incorporate searching in your Web site.
Just saying the word security can send Web application administrators into a frenzy. Any dynamic site that allows visitors to post data needs to include some level of security. In this lesson, we'll look at what we can do to protect our Restaurant Review application from vandals and comment spammers. You'll learn how to use Ruby on Rails to control who can post reviews by creating a login system and tracking visitors.
Testing your application is a crucial part of the development process. You want to make sure that everything works as it's supposed to before turning it loose on the Internet. Fortunately, Ruby on Rails provides excellent features for automatically testing applications. In this lesson, we'll look at those features and how to use and customize them. You'll see how to use testing to narrow down where a problem occurs so that it's easy to find it and fix it.
Today we'll take a closer look at how Rails handles our data with the default SQLite database. You'll see how you can view and manipulate data outside of the Rails application. And we'll also discuss how Rails provides a production environment geared for performance—instead of the development environment we've been using.

Symplified is a comprehensive cloud identity solution that enables IT and security organizations to simplify user access to applications, regain visibility and control over usage and meet security and compliance requirements.
Single Sign-On
Symplified's Single Sign-On seamlessly and securely connects your users to applications, whether the apps are in the cloud or behind the firewall.
Employees, partners, and customers expect easy and secure access to the business applications they use on a daily basis. Symplified significantly enhances security and control for your business while providing a better user experience for your employees, thereby improving productivity and reducing help desk requests associated with multiple user accounts.
And because of Symplified's unique architecture, you can seamlessly bridge your on premise infrastructure and applications to the cloud without the need to manage multiple systems or risk replicating sensitive user information outside your control.
Leverage Your Existing Identity Infrastructure
You already have an identity infrastructure, whether its on premise in Active Directory or another identity store, or in the cloud with Salesforce, Workday or other applications.
With Symplified you can continue to use that infrastructure since Symplified acts as an identity bridge, simply and seamlessly integrating your existing identity store (or stores if you have multiple) to handle authentication of users and to determine the appropriate applications to be provisioned to each end user. Best of all, Symplified does this without the need to recreate your users, groups, and policies already contained in user stores, or to replicate sensitive user information to another vendor
Wide Range of Applications
Symplified supports a wide range of single sign-on integration options to allow you to easily configure and manage all your applications, both in the cloud and behind the firewall.
Symplified can support thousands of applications using both SAML (1.1 and 2.0) as well as its own proprietary HTTP Federation technology that transparently federates with Web-based applications, including custom developed applications. By expanding single sign-on beyond SAML using its proprietary HTTP Federation, Symplified supports almost any Web application. And HTTP Federation doesn't require either party to change their infrastructure or applications so that organizations that have not yet adopted SAML can be easily added for single sign-on.
You don't need to worry about whether your application supports these features as Symplified does all the work. Just select the application you want to enable for single sign-on, configure your options and deploy it to your users.
Automated User Provisioning
Has adding new employees and assigning them the correct set of enterprise applications and permissions become a long, drawn out process? With Symplified's automated user provisioning, simply add a new user to your directory and Symplified handles the process of provisioning them across your selected applications based on policies you create, streamlining the process for the onboarding of new employees
Block Side-Door Access to Applications
A successful single sign-on strategy ensures the business maintains both control and visibility over all user behaviors when accessing applications. If users are allowed to access applications directly outside of the company's single sign-on, control and visibility is lost. And when employees leave the organization, you want to ensure they cannot continue to directly access your SaaS applications.
Users access applications through the company portal, preventing unauthorized and unmonitored connections from rogue users. By design, all user access behaviors can then be audited and controlled by company administrators.
Application Discovery Tool
There are tens of thousands of Web-based applications today, ranging from third-party SaaS applications to internally developed business applications. You need to easily and securely connect your users to all of these applications. While Symplified has out-of-the-box support for a wide range of applications, you also have the ability to easily "discover" new applications in a matter of minutes.
Do you have custom-built applications hosted internally that you want to connect your users to seamlessly? No problem. Simply enter the application login details into Symplfied's discovery tool and you'll be walked through the process of configuring and adding the application to your single sign-on portal. The discovery tool supports SAML, WS-Federation, and HTTP header integration approaches, thus providing the most options for simple do-it-yourself SSO integration.
End User Experience
Symplified offers your end users a flexible and easily accessible way to access their applications through single sign-on. Your employees simply log in once to Symplified's end-user portal and then they can access all of their customized applications, whether the apps are in the cloud or behind the firewall.
The default end-user portal is a "ribbon" with a graphical list of the user's available applications, along with a set of end user self-service features. A simple click on one of the applications transparently authenticates and logs the user into the application, which is launched in a new browser window. No more needing to look up passwords or store them on sticky notes.
Access to the portal is supported across all major browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. And users can easily access the portal not just from their desktop, but also mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.
Have an existing portal that you want to integrate your SSO applications? Symplified supports deeper levels of integration with APIs that make it easy to build access to applications into your existing environment.

Match report
To follow all the Barclays Premier League action, visit our new Carlsberg Live Match Centre by going to http://live.premierleague.com.
For match photos, click on PHOTOSTREAM above left. Manager reaction below. To watch the post-match press conferences, click on the manager icons above.
Jose Fonte's 69th-minute goal was enough to seal a slender 1-0 away win for Southampton over Hull City in the Barclays Premier League on Tuesday.
Referee Martin Atkinson had to refer to the Goal Decision System in order to finally award Southampton the goal after the ball looked to have been hacked off the line.
There was initial confusion over who scored it as Fonte's effort was cleared as far as Rickie Lambert and he rammed home the rebound before the goal-line technology awarded it to the Portuguese defender.
Shane Long had earlier been denied by the frame of the goal on what was a disappointing evening for Hull, who also lost defender Paul McShane to injury in the first half.
Victory for Southampton moves them up to eighth above Newcastle United, while Hull are three points from the drop zone after their fourth home league defeat of the season.
Steve Harper continued in goal for Hull in place of the suspended Allan McGregor, while Gaston Ramirez and Dejan Lovren both missed out for Southampton.
It was the visitors who started brightest, Lambert pouncing on to a deflected cross from Calum Chambers on the right before shooting wide with four minutes gone.
Lambert again caused problems when he was played through by Steven Davies, but his heavy touch gave Harper and McShane enough time to react to his attempted effort on goal.
However, Republic of Ireland defender McShane had to be carried off on a stretcher and was replaced by George Boyd as a result of the three players colliding after just 12 minutes.
Shortly after the restart, McShane's international team-mate Long struck the post for Hull with a headed effort from the centre of the box after meeting Ahmed Elmohamady's dangerous cross.
Full-backs Elmohamady and substitute Boyd continuously tested the Southampton defence with deliveries from both wings.
Jay Rodriguez then came close to putting Mauricio Pochettino's side ahead after 30 minutes when his curling effort from outside the box beat Artur Boruc, but hit the crossbar.
Nikica Jelavic tested Boruc five minutes before half-time with a right-footed shot as he made the most of a failed clearance following another Elmohamady cross.
Hull were the first to threaten after the restart, but Jelavic's long-range free-kick was easily saved by Boruc.
Rodriguez then failed with an acrobatic attempt at goal from close range after good build-up play from Luke Shaw on the left wing.
Southampton started to dominate and the constant pressure nearly paid off as Lambert almost opened the scoring with a shot from a tight angle inside the box.
However, the visitors did take the lead with just over 20 minutes remaining. Harper failed to deal with a long ball in from Chambers and Fonte's reaction shot then looked to have been cleared off the line, but referee Atkinson gave the decision in Southampton's favour after a referral to goal-line technology.
Hull failed to make an impact on the game after the goal as they suffered a setback at the KC Stadium.
Hull City manager Steve Bruce: "Southampton are an excellent side. We had to be at our best and we weren't. We went too long and direct to our strikers too often.
"We have to be honest - the better team won. We were never away from it [the relegation zone]. We've got 12 games to go. We're in a decent situation. It's all to play for."
On Paul McShane: "The X-rays are clear. His ankle is in a horrible position. We expect ligament damage - we'll find out how bad the injury is tomorrow. It disrupted us for a while."
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino: "We put in an amazing shift. We dominated the entire game from start to finish. We're very happy with the performance.
"The entire team always plays for each other. That's the Southampton way.
"It's very important we take it game by game. We focus on the next game ahead. Now we'll be focussing on the FA Cup game away at Sunderland which is an important match."

Save Your Clothes, Don't Buy Whirlpool: Clothing Fatality 63+ Whirlpool Doesn't Stand Behind Product Quality
Posted by
~UPDATE: Finally received a reply from Whirlpool, in short (the way I understood it) they said that no, they will not stand behind their product and that I should be happy with the warranty covering the repairs. Never mind this washer will be useless within months of the warranty being up (just like it's useless now as we wait for them to replace 'all the guts' of it). And never mind we paid several hundred dollars in good faith of receiving a machine that would work for more than mere months and would not destroy thousands of dollars in clothing.
~UPDATE: because of what a serious problem this washer is (and I'm sure will continue to be) I contacted the Whirlpool representative that contacted us through here and asked if there was any way we can return and be refunded for the washer as its an obviously defective model and replacing the parts is only going to last a few months before we start this whole process over again destroying more clothing and shortly having to also pay out of pocket for the repairs. I will update with what we are told.~
Bought May 9th from Menards, a few months after purchase noticed clothing coming from wash holes & started keeping a tally- count is 63 articles (not including from before tally began).
Breakdown by family member-
Mom: red shirt, pink sweater, green hoodie, blue robe, green tshirt, mama pad x2, tshirt, underwear, sleep shirt, pink shirt, undershirt x2, jeans, black shirt (new never worn)
Dad: black shorts, sock, boxers x2, sleep pants, black tshirt x2, gray tshirt, striped sweater, undershirt x2
Amanda: white tshirt x2, black dress, black pants x2, shirt w/ design x2
Tristian: red turtleneck (new never worn), overalls, black pants, cat shirt, train shirt, Old Navy shirt, blue striped shirt, circo shirt, potato head shirt
Trace: blue shirt, blue pants, babylegs x3, sports romper, onsies x4, sweatshirt, boppy slipcover, goodmama fitted x3, sos fitted & insert, bumgenius insert x2, bummis cover, nubunz pocket x2
Searching the web I found this is a common revolving problem.
UPDATES (click next page to read all):
12/16/10: My Husband got the receipt printed off from Menards & called Whirlpool, they are sending someone out tomorrow; also, discovered standing water under washer & hamper from leaking.
12/17/10: Gentleman came out, washer had balled up a onsie & sock in the metal ring & the items were where water comes in & caused leak; also, ordered part- back ordered til 1/3/11. Said we can use washer while waiting, put small pieces in mesh bag to wash. When I did a load the washer started beeping mid wash cycle & stalled.
12/18/10: Husband called, they said just don't use it til they came out with the part on 1/3/11. My husband said that is more than 2 weeks of not being able to use our 7 month old washer & he didn't think the part was going to fix this issue as it doesn't sound like what the first guy talked about. Whirlpool is sending someone out Monday.
12/20/10: Came out, seems the whole inside needs to be replaced. Said he was basically ordering in the guts to the whole washer and that on Monday 2 guys would be out to replace everything because it was a 2 person job. This is a 7 month old washer!!! The only explanation is just amazingly horrible quality.
12/27/10: Parts haven't come in yet and the washer will not go at all now.
Got a phone call saying the parts are back ordered until 1/10/11
1/4/11: Parts came in (some very large boxes in our house right now taking up room) someone was supposed to come out today but they called because they hadn't scheduled enough people to do the job. Coming out Thursday (1/6/11) instead.
This washer has cost us so much in the way of replacing clothing- plus then time, money & hassle washing when it's not working. The closest laundry mat is 6 miles away- plus having little ones to deal with at the same time instead of just being home doing it. When it's working the choice is between losing lots more money from it destroying clothes but getting to keep our routine or losing less money after paying for gas to get tho a mat (plus the added hassle taking little ones) and paying for the washing but getting to keep our clothes- even though we have a supposedly top of the line 7 month old washer at home.
Finally received an email from Whirlpool 8 days later saying they would not give a refund, see update at top for more info.
"It's frustrating to buy something because a company is supposed to have quality products, just to find out that what you bought is not good quality and have it cost you so much more time and money in just months. And to find this is not a new problem, but one that's been occurring with these machines for a while- then again to find the company does not stand behind the quality of their products.
I'm sorry to hear this and am afraid we will not be customers of Whirlpool or any of your related brands for life- as I can no longer trust that what we buy won't cost us hundreds of more dollars, stress and time from inferior quality. So we will never again be buying one of your products. You would have earned us as customers for life had the company stood behind its products and dealt with an obvious quality problem by reimbursing the money we paid in good faith for a machine that would not destroy our clothing or cost us in stress and time just months after being bought. "
In case anyone wants to know, some other Whirlpool owned brands (to my knowledge):
Amana, Estate, Gladiator, Insperience, Jenn-air, KitchenAid, Magic Chef, Maytag, Roper, Admiral, Econowash, Menu Master, Glenwood, Danby, Caloric, Imperial, Litton, Modern Maid, Speed Queen, Sunray, Viking ... feel free to share more you know.

Whirlpool, judging from recent and numerous complaints, is experiencing a bad quality control problem with its products. Keep us updated and thanks!
Zeigs on 12/16/2010:
Thank you for you reply and I will keep it updated with any results (and the growing tally of clothing destroyed). My husband is stopping at Menards tonight so they can print another receipt off for him of the purchase.
Zeigs on 12/18/2010:
Review updated.
I was also contacted through this site by a Whirlpool personal to email them about the issue and did so last night- emailing them about everything going on up to that point (including the machine stopping mid-wash now) and that we are already working with Whirlpool but they are free to contact us if needed and I will contact them again if we run into a problem doing so. Hopefully we get this figured out.
We are planning on buying the extended warranty from them now, because I don't trust this washer to be any sort of quality and not mess up again and again now.
So unfortunate, I thought Whirlpool was a good brand and that's why we went with them was to avoid this sort of thing.
Zeigs on 12/27/2010:

trmn8r on 12/27/2010:
What a nightmare. I am usually in favor of repairing appliances, but this sounds like a piece of garbage. Reminds me of the Whirlpool gas water heaters that fail on a regular basis, even when new parts are put in. Someone posted here about how the new washers save water and are more efficient. I'll keep using my old agitator for now. Good luck and keep us posted.
Zeigs on 12/27/2010:
thanks for your comment- it has been a nightmare.
There is another recent review from another user with a Whirlpool duet that their 2 person family goes through this every 9 months. So our experience seems about on par with that amount of time and that it will indeed be a revolving problem.
frustratedwithwhirlpool on 01/04/2011:
I have the same exact issues, I purchased my Whirlpool front loader in May of 2010 and have had 2 boots replaced, and the complete basket. I have had destroyed clothes since I purchased the machine. One torn boot left my floor full of water. I have several dollars wrapped up in wrecked clothing and laundromat dollars. I have a family of 6 and this is very frustrating. They keep sending Factory Service out, their recent suggestion was that I was over loading or sorting my laundry wrong. Suggested using lingere garment bags.... really, on all of my laundry??? I don't think they know what is wrong with this machine. At this point I am asking for a new machine, but after reading these reviews, I have a feeling I will be going going through it all over again!!
My washer also was stopping in mid-cycle before the last service visit, it was sucking up socks (not only childrens socks) and the clog was tripping the machine, causing it to stop mid-cycle and sit there and beep.

momsey on 01/07/2011:
I still want to know what a mama pad is.
Zeigs on 01/07/2011:
I'm sensitive to the chemicals in disposable feminine products so I use reusable ones- cloth pads instead of maxipads and a diva cup instead of tampons. A mama pad is just another phrase for a cloth feminine hygiene pad.
Zeigs on 01/07/2011:
here's some examples- http://hyenacart.com/hc_search.php?all=mama+pad&c=1&topsearch=1&x=0&y=0

Oh! OK, I didn't really even know they existed. Thanks for clearing that up.
Starlord on 01/07/2011:
Zeigs, TMI, thank you.
momsey on 01/07/2011:
I asked, Starlord. Blame me!
Zeigs on 01/08/2011:
Starlord, I was just answering a question =p
Starlord on 01/08/2011:
There is no blame, I was just out off a bit. Glad to have you aboard. S'okay, momsey, no harm no foul. Pardon me.
Zeigs on 01/09/2011:
The Frey Guy on 12/19/2012:
I just went on line to find out if other were experiencing a similar problem. My clothes are coming out with HOLES in them. My mattress quilted top has slice marks all over the quilt. My towels are torn. I thought it might be something I was doing but after reading similar issues... Its time to say good buy to Whirlpool! Not worth ruining clothing that adds up financially more than the cost of a new washing machine. I won't bother calling them, seeing no one on here seems to get a credible solution.

Whirlpool and A&E Factory Service
Posted by
Have happily used GE products in my house since 1988. A consumer magazine reported that Whirlpool washer had a great repair record so I went with Whirlpool. Soon after warranty was up, washer stopped in middle of wash and gave a code of F71. Called Whirlpool number supplied with product info. They referred me to A&E Factory Service. Appointment made for 9/2/2010. Charge would be $129.00 plus parts; labor charge supposedly would cover a 90 day period in case related visits were necessary. Tech came and diagnosed problem ("Part Failure: Needs Interface") and gave me an estimated bill for $129 (Labor performed - Control motor) and $304 (for "Parts Required-1 Sub Kit."). If I agreed to pay this amount, the tech would have ordered the part(s) and installed it at the next appointment with no new labor charge. The decision not to resulted in a number of events none of which has resulted in anything being done to repair my broken washer.
First, I called Whirlpool and they kindly agreed to authorize payment for the part but not the labor I'd already paid. That was the only good news as of this date, 9/13/2010. Next I called A&E to give them the authorization code but they told me the tech had not filed his report and allow 24 hours. Later that week I tried unsuccessfully to call Whirlpool to have them connect me to A&E. I kept getting tied up with their computer answering/questioning device. On 9/7, I finally made contact with A&E and again tried to give them the authorization number and arrange for a follow-up service visit. The A&E person said that was out of the norm as Whirlpool has to enter the authorization code from their end into A&E's computer system and A&E wouldn't take the word of a customer on the authorization. I asked her for the part number I needed to give to Whirlpool and she couldn't find anything listed for me. I told her I had a 9/2 receipt that listed a part but no number and then she was able to locate the part number (W10300044). I called Whirlpool on 9/7 and they told me I had the wrong part number; they figured it out and said I had one too many zeros (when the second tech came on 9/13 he showed me his computer and the number had three zeros as A&E had told me earlier so who is right and are customers getting the correct parts???).They told me the part purchase was now authorized in the system and to call A&E back for an appointment. I told them I didn't have great confidence in the person at A&E as they couldn't find me in their system at first. She volunteered to make the appointment. She came back online and told me the part was being delivered directly to my house and the appointment for service was being scheduled for one week from now to allow the part to arrive. She twice instructed me that if the part arrived sooner, I should call and ask A&E to come sooner. This Whirlpool young lady actually wanted to do something to help move the situation along. This was the last Whirlpool person to actually try to do anything to help the customer. After one week and no part arriving at my house, it was time for the A&E tech to arrive. I called Whirlpool to get a tracking number on the part and to see if we should reschedule and this is when the real fun began. First the customer service representative called A&E and told me the part was never ordered and A&E was going to charge me for a second labor visit to diagnose the problem all over again. Then they'll decide whether or not to order the part!!!!!!! I asked to speak to the Whirlpool supervisor and she put me on the phone with A&E and we had a three way. A&E claimed that my only communication with them was on 9/2 and I declined the part estimate so no part was ever ordered. When I said that was old news and there were communications with A&E recently on 9/7 they claimed there were none. The Whirlpool supervisor then began to close ranks with the A&E person and told me I was probably mistaken about the whole matter; Whirlpool never orders or arranges for parts to be ordered (the second tech told me he thought they did), there were no 9/7 communications, etc. When I asked the A&E person how the 9/13 appointment got set up she said it was from the first visit. I reminded her that her own tech's receipts show I declined further work at that time. I then asked the Whirlpool supervisor if they were recording this call for training purposes as it was beginning to get interesting. I asked A&E if they thought God had set up the 9/13 return visit on my behalf in their system. After repeating this absurd possibility twice A&E acquiesced and admitted there were communications on 9/7. They could now name the Whirlpool person, the date, etc. They still claimed the part wasn't ordered in spite of what Whirlpool had told me back then. A&E also reiterated that the tech visiting today was still supposed to charge me for a visit and start the whole diagnostic procedure all over again. It would be at a reduced rate and the tech could decide not to charge (he thankfully did not charge). The tech came and said he also expected to find the part and install it. Now that the part wasn't there and A&E was starting the process all over again, he read the codes buried in the washers memory and found F71 (3-4 times) and a new one for me, F61. He told me he now needed to see for himself the washer not working. I told him it was incapacitated (we couldn't clear the F71 code from the interface) since my call to Whirlpool on 9/7 but last night we turned the circuit breaker of and then on in the basement and the Washer codes cleared and we were able to do a wash. He tried twice to get the code to appear in the middle of a cycle and it didn't so he called the Whirlpool tech service and they and his office (A&E) refused to give him permission to order the part (they also dispute the part ordered by the first tech and wold start with a more expensive part first).
So to sum it up, I have computer diagnostic codes (F61 and F71), an A&E diagnosis paid by me from 9/2 that is being ignored (part failure; needs interface), I have a part number recommended at that time (based on A&E's interpretation of the tech's report) which Whirlpool has graciously given me permission to buy at their cost, the part number is different at Whirlpool and A&E, a second tech recommends a totally different part, and the second tech would change the Control motor first but can't order it as he couldn't duplicate the problem which incapacitated my washer three - four times recently and for more than one whole week from 9/6-9/12. Now we are back to square one and will have to wait until the problems occurs for the fifth time and ask for a third visit by A&E and hope that when they get here and see F71 that will be good enough.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't read this whole thing. I wish you would rewrite it and scale it down a bit. I think you actually supplied too much information, which can have the same effect as not supplying enough.
The only part I really understood was that your washer broke right after the warranty expired. That's what caused everything else.
Fufu487 on 09/13/2010:
I'm sorry but, there's way too much info to get the whole story. Even the sum up is hard to understand.

This did get pretty complicated Stephen, but I think you did a reasonably good job is summing it up. Overall, though, when involved in a three-way, I believe you're supposed to exhibit a little more courtesy. LOL.
Seriously, any appliance can have a problem. It's never pleasant when it does, but that doesn't necessarily mean anyone did anything wrong. In this case specifically, it sounds like your washer is working again. Problems are always more frustrating when they're intermittent.

Never Again on Whirlpool
Posted by
I purchased a lemon washer from Whirlpool (WFW9600AT01)! Instead of the F35 error, I received an F70/71 error code. The machine is less than 5 years old. I bought Whirlpool as I thought it was a solid name. I paid $1600 for it. We are a 2 person adult household...no major usage. Usually, 3-4 loads a week. I never expected the issues I am having.
The first time I called in was Dec 2012 and I was told to push some configurations of buttons and use a different cycle to wash. That worked for a few more weeks. Then, I had to call for service again. The guy came out in January and said we need to order a part that would run me around $500 parts & labor and that it might not fix the issue. If that part did not work, then I would have to order another one around the same price quote. I got a second opinion.
I called another repair man who was a referral from a friend. The guy came out and said he could have it repaired within a couple of weeks and we would only have to replace one part...just under $500 and it would be working. I thought OK, I can do that. I understand that parts break. We replaced the part and guess what, the first repairman was correct! Now we needed to order another part which had an original estimate for delivery in Feb, then March 25th, then June 22nd.
Today, when I called Whirlpool for assistance, I was told the date has moved to July 19th and there is no guarantee. Now, we are renting a washer to do laundry until said part arrives. I complained and was basically told, it has been documented but we are sorry there is nothing we can do because of the age of the appliance. I will be posting everywhere I can to let all know--Do Not Buy Whirlpool! Customer service was not helpful and as a consumer being without a washer for more than 6 months and told that I should have ordered extended warranty is basically a slap in the face. So much for the reputation I thought Whirlpool had.

Whether or not you had an extended warranty is a moot point. Your washer would still not be usable. An extended warranty does not make needed parts arrive magically. Putting $500 in repairs on a 5 year old washer is risky at the least. In most cases the extended warranty would have expired after 5 years anyhow. If people actually read what is covered and to what the limits are on extended warranties there would be a lot less sold.

Service Getting Worse
Posted by
In 2007 we purchased a new HD duet washer for about $800. Within 2 years the rear tub, bearings and gaskets had to be replaced - essentially the main guts of the machine ! After many hours talking to several service reps we found a sympathetic supervisor that agreed this should not happen on a HD washer in 2 years and gave an authorization # to have it fixed at no cost. The parts alone to fix the problem were over what we paid for the new machine - we questioned if it would be cheaper to switch the machines. It has been only a little over a year since the parts have been replaced and we are now having the same problem - the main tub and bearings are all shot - it sounds as if the machine is a jet taking off! We have called Whirlpool - 1 hour on wait to talk to a warm body - and will not acknowledge the fact that even though the machine is several years old the new "guts" of the machine are only a year old. This should not happen to any washer - especially a machine touted as a HD machine. The main components replaced twice in 4 years. I told the supervisor this is not what we expected out of a Whirlpool product and they seemed to care less. They are only offering to pay a small percentage of the new parts cost - probably over $900, when I asked the supervisor if she would spend $500 -700 on a machine that has failed twice before she had no answer. Why is this so difficult for Whirlpool to understand that we expect their products to last more than 3-4 years.
And if they don't to please pay for the parts to fix them. People would flock to a manufacturer that lived by these standards, I guess it does not matter to them anymore as is evident by the numerous posts. I have always recommended Whirlpool ( we own several other of their appliances) to people but now I doubt that I will.

That has been my theory ever since the appliance industry started to go downhill. Now that it's worse than ever, I really think it's a good time for at least one company to give this some serious thought. The word of mouth alone would be the best advertisement.

Death, Taxes and the F-01 Error Code
Posted by
In March of 2010, I decided to surprise my hardworking wife with a new washer and drier. The snazzy yet costly features of the Whirlpool Duet series washer seemed justified, as the washer and drier combo promised to save her considerable time doing laundry. Turns out, the pricey pair have proven to be the most dreadful purchase I have ever made (really). The washer has failed 4 times in 10 months, with each failure resulting in considerable downtime (more than a month total), painful exchanges with customer service, and time out of our busy schedules waiting for service teams to "fix" our unit. Needless to say, the only thing actually cleaned by my Whirlpool washer has been me.
What is most frustrating is that with each failure, Whirlpool has been content to simply replace the failed part with an identical, soon-to-fail part. As if the 3rd cpu will suddenly work where the previous two have failed. I get the distinct feeling Whirlpool is simply hoping to push me beyond the 12 month warranty period so they can begin charging me for their bait-and-switch part exchange program. Right now, I am being told to wait a week as an engineer reviews my problem. I don't need an engineer and a week to diagnose the issue and offer a solution; the washer represents a full-failure of modern technology and I deserve a new model.
I have three wardrobe-busting kids, one with honest-to-God, medically-treated sensitive skin. We are supposed to wash his clothes and bedding frequently to avoid rashes. Unfortunately, the flashing "F-01" error on my washer makes that difficult. While the problem is not funny, I jokingly call any rash popping up on my son during washer-less periods "Whirlpool Rash." I may start forwarding his dermatology bills to Whirlpool. What's worse, another of my children is currently battling pink eye. The doc told us to wash everything he contacts to avoid spreading the misery. Ha. Not sure he meant hand 5 in the retention pond across the street.
Anyway, to anyone considering a Whirlpool washing machine, I urge you to run like the wind. I know my wife wishes I had in March 2010. Honestly, I long for the errorless el-cheapo's we had prior to this God-forsaken Whirlpool. The only thing I appreciate about the growing pile of clothes in my laundry room is that it eventually blocks the flashing F-01 error code that haunts my dreams at night.
I know I am not alone. That is why I have purchased and am planning to launch whirlpoolofhell.com to serve as a forum for people suffering from their own "Whirlpool rashes." Should I find not satisfactory resolution to my problem (new washer), I'll launch the site lickedy-split.

The key words in your review are:
snazzy yet costly features
errorless el-cheapo
If you avoid the first and stick with the second, you can't go wrong.

And if you don't give your wife a "surprise" of appliances, you won't have this problem. (That goes for exercise equipment too, in case Mr.olie is reading this.)

Whirlpool Duet Front Load Washer Woes
Posted by
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE -- We bought a Whirlpool duet washer and dryer set in April, 2006. It was replacing our 20 year Kenmore working washer and dryer set. I wanted to be more "green" and use less energy and water. Big mistake at this point. Within the first year the turn knob broke to the washer. I said to my husband, don't worry we can find a replacement knob, they probably sale them at Lowe's. No they didn't carry one and by the time we contacted Whirlpool, of course the manufacturing warranty was no longer available. Next the clean cycle (July - 2008) went out. We tried fixing the problem using the book suggestions and a phone call service with Whirlpool. It never worked, next the dryer turn knob also broke, and the tumbler spin cycle would only work on certain cycles. After finding a repairman, in our area to come and look at the washer, who was recommended by Whirlpool. He charger $65 for the first visit. The second visit cost us a washer pressure switch and hose, plus labor another $100.00. The replacement knobs cost $60.00 plus shipping and tax. Guess what? The washer still doesn't work. Now, he says it is the mother board user and sensors. He is estimating another $250 - $300 for the part plus labor. At this point I think the washer is really a lemon and would like to purchase another washer having no confidence in this particular washer at this part. We paid $792 (sales tax no included) for the washer less than 4 years ago. In the last three years we have paid $130 for repair washer estimate visits, $120 for parts and $45 for labor. The next repair if it works will cost between $300-$400. I contacted Whirlpool in hopes they would cover 50% of the repair or offer more for a new washer. They only offer 15% for a new washer and only 50% on the mother board part. It is a shame that a company like Whirlpool can not stand behind their products more. I can't believe the problems we had the washer after year one. We followed the operating tips like using the HE detergent, letting the door to the front loader and detergent area remain open when not in use, using the clean cycle as recommended as well as taking the detergent door out and cleaning the mold. The rubber band around the front loader is covered with black mold and even with bleach cleaning I couldn't get it clean. Our story is no product or repair satisfaction, no customer service satisfaction. Buyer beware, and these days I recommend buying the extended warranty because the parts or the installation are probably not made in the U.S. and although technology has advanced, pride and reliability in Craftsman and manufacturing has not with Whirlpool. n It is now 1-2010 and we have been without a working washer for over 8 weeks, and before that only had 2 cycles working. We will not buy Whirlpool again nor will we put any more money into this 4 year old model, which started failing after the first year.

Worst Service Ever
Posted by
GEORGIA -- Over the years, my husband and I have purchased countless appliances from brand name companies. In all of the years in dealing with companies... we have never, ever encountered more horrible service than with Whirlpool.
When the new Duet Front-Loading Washing machines first came out in 2002, our Maytag top loader washing machine had finally given out and we purchased the Whirlpool Front Loader.
No one even knew how to work on these yet so we got an extended warranty and we have renewed that to make sure we had a running washing machine at all times.
We are a family of 7 and our baby is in cloth diapers so we generate a lot of laundry. We have been 7 weeks without a washer and all bec/ of a $28 dollar part that the Whirlpool company can't or won't seem to get mailed.
We have been on the phone with them (have recorded the time on each phone call) a total of 6 hours over this and have dealt with the same service every single time.
This is the routine:
We get automated everything and are put on hold for several minutes to longer until we finally make it to a "department". From that point on, we get transferred from one department to the other until we lose count and give up writing them all down. We have memorized the parts department, the service department, the warranty department, and so on.
We have now been told *four* times that our washing machine part was ordered, Fed X'd, and that we'd have it within two days... and this has been 7 weeks. We still have no part.
When the phone contacting proved futile and a never ending frustration, I tried contacting the company by email. The CEO never replied to my email and the reply from the regular "customer service department" was a template they basically added my name to saying sometimes people aren't happy with their appliances no matter how good the quality of the appliance is.
We are now being told ...yet again... that Fed X will be delivering this part sometime in the next few days. Being the 4th time we have been told the same thing makes us weary of believing that the part will come at all.
The crazy thing is... people can deal with waiting when necessary, prolonged problems when they arise with an appliance, and whatever. What most of us cannot stand or easily tolerate is horrible service and being treated like a number they send auto forms and auto messages to when the number makes enough noise.
I now see that Whirlpool does not care at all about the fact that we won't recommend them to anyone for anything... that we are more disappointed than any other company, and that we won't bring another Whirlpool product into this house after this --- not due to bad appliances but horrific service. They might not care... but maybe ONE person can be saved the torture of having to deal with them!

Wow! I sure can sympathize with your comment! We bought the Whirlpool Sport Duet also and it broke the SECOND day! We have been on the phone so many times and never was able to speak to the same person twice, so we wasted who-knows-how-long repeating ourselves. The repair costs $600 for parts, plus $80 labor for each visit(they are paying since under warranty. After many repair appointments, rescheduling, part orders, phone calls, it still isn't fixed. Whirlpool even sent out a silverware tray (no joke) to fix the washer! Now I finally have all the correct parts to fix the washer (even got TWO washer drums, ha) and waiting on A&E to fix (as usual). It has been 40 days with no washer and I (like you) have a family of six with one baby in cloth diapers! How did you situation finally turn out?

Whirlpool Duet Front Load Washer Rips Clothes
Posted by
I purchased this washer in the summer of 2011. By winter 2012, I noticed holes, tears, fabric indents and huge rips at times on clothes, blankets etc. I thought I was possibly overloading but no matter how few items I washed it was Russian roulette not knowing what would get ruined. Looked up model on line to find out hundreds of other consumers have same exact problem. Called Whirlpool customer service who informed me since it was past the 1 year manufacturers' warranty it was at my expense to have one of there technicians come do a diagnosis for $300 and then parts and labor to fix. I asked if there was any recall or product defect reported since so many others have had the same problem. Customer service informed me there was not and nothing further they could do.
What a disgrace that a washer slightly over a year old that should last for years has a defect like this! All consumers who were duped into purchasing this defective product need to get a class action lawsuit against Whirlpool. This huge corporation has decided to look the other way while consumers pay the price for not only the cost of a new washer but all the clothes it has ruined and stress it has caused me and my family. I was forced to eat the expense and purchased a new Samsung washer I am very happy with. Made sure to do my homework on this one instead of trusting what I thought was a well known brand name like Whirlpool. NEVER BUY WHIRLPOOL/MAYTAG APPLIANCES!
They have lost me as a customer and have been spreading the word to anyone who will listen to avoid having consumers support a company that thinks so little of them! Thank you for taking the time to read this:)

F35 / Suds code, Whirlpool Duet Steam Washing Machine
Posted by
BENTON HARBOR, MICHIGAN -- "F35" / "Suds" code 14 months after we purchased washer. Hose / air trap is clear and the hose from the analog pressure switch is connected properly. The appliance tech we had come out to look at the washer determined that the analog pressure switch was defective. He told us that this is a common problem with this washing machine. Whirlpool supervisor Michael (female) stated that they could send tech out - and charge us for the call - to diagnose problem. She refused to transfer me to someone who could help and couldn't comprehend that the "it's out of warranty" excuse isn't a proper defense for a product defect. There are MANY posts about Analog Pressure Switch problems with this washing machine.
The posts about Whirlpool's poor customer service are absolutely accurate. They are horrible - good luck in getting them to work with you. We read the reviews for the Whirlpool Duet Steam washing machine before purchasing one and we disregarded the bad ones as disgruntled customers. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE MADE. After my conversation with their customer service dept today, I will NEVER buy another Whirlpool product again. Defective parts happen. Refusing to fix a known problem is unacceptable.

Sorry to hear about your Whirlpool buying experience and the poor customer service offered. The Whirlpool Duet and Cabrio are both well documented as to having problems and many customer complaints. Whirlpool is well aware of this but they seem to do little about it. You spend big bucks expecting quality then get screwed with a poor quality product that they refuse to stand behind. When I shop at Home Depot & Lowe's I see this washing machine for sale. I think to myself how some uninformed customer will purchase this then have problems. Hopefully your post will inform people not to buy this product.
leet60 on 10/25/2012:
Your complaint is not uncommon to newer high end washing machines. I am sorry you are going through all this difficulty after an expensive purchase. Personally, I own a basic washer/dryer set, purchased at less than $650 for the pair over 10 years ago. I have never had a single problem. The more "technology" built into a device (I.e. computer boards, sensors etc.) the more prevalent it is to failure.

BENTON CHARTER TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN -- I purchased a Whirlpool Duet Front loading washing machine on November 21,2011 for around $1200.00. By April, (5 months later) it stopped working. I called Whirlpool since it was under warranty and I was told they were contacting an independent repair company that they have a contract within my area to schedule a service call. I was told the next available appointment was a week later. When the repairman showed up, he said the motor went and it would take another week to get the part. He would be back on the following Friday. After waiting home all day and taking off a day of work, I was shocked to see a package from a local Sears show up and no repair man. When I called Whirlpool to ask what it was, I was told it was the new motor for my washing machine and now they can schedule a repairman to come to my home. Why did I have to wait one week to receive a part from a store that was 10 minutes from my home? Five days later, ( that was the first appointment they would give me and they guaranteed the first appointment of the day), a different repairman shows up at 2:00 in the afternoon and spends 2 hours trying to fix the washing machine. He seems as though he has NO CLUE as to what he is doing and concludes that it's not the motor (which he just replaced), but the mother board in the machine, "he thinks". He will order the part and when it gets delivered to my home, I should call Whirlpool to schedule a service call. I now have 2 MISSED DAYS OF WORK, will be out of a machine for at least 4 WEEKS if they can figure out how to fix it when they come back, and Whirlpool couldn't care less. I spent $1200 on a piece of junk that the service company WHIRLPOOL contracted with can't repair. I have no other options. I am at WHIRLPOOL's mercy because the product is under warranty and I am forced to use the company that they contracted with. Can someone please help me? What can I do? STAY AWAY FROM WHIRLPOOL PRODUCTS!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Whirlpool. The Duet model that you purchased has a history of high repairs, just read some of the reviews on this site. What adds insult to injury is the poor customer response from Whirlpool. This is a product that you need fixed immediately and they give excuses for a prompt repair. More than likely you have a bad circuit/idiot board which is a common failure. Whirlpool should be ashamed of how they treated you.
Sherilamagna on 05/03/2012:
An expensive lesson learned. I should have checked my3cents.com before I purchased this costly piece of garbage. All I can hope for now is that the readers of this site spread the word about Whirlpool. I am posting my horrible experience with Whirlpool everywhere I can.

But I guess it the old story, now that she won she is British but when she is dire she is Welsh.
The extent to which the British winner, regional loser thing happens is not actually as common as you probably think- it's largely confined to the tabloid press. The BBC is certainly not in the habit of doing that- they said straight away how happy Wales would be that Cooke won. And the same was true for Cavendish's victories- the article usually began "Britain's Mark Cavendish won the stage... the Manxman, 21....". What Scots and Welsh people really don't like is people calling their athletes "English" which doesn't happen very often anymore. And the same thing happens and happened for English victories. the British media isn't dominated by English people, and English people aren't always going to claim Scots and Welsh athletes as their own, any more than the other constitutent countries will. It's bound to happen when you have a nation composed of several countries- I actually think it makes Britain stronger.

A surprising ending with the British woman losing pace near the finish but still winning. A BBC commentator seemed puzzled because Italy were celebrating after winning the bronze. If you won an olympic medal you would celebrate though.

My Miche Prima bag is now inside a purple shell and the two shoulder straps have been replaced with one, longer strap (can go cross body) - and there is an organizer inside - all courtesy of eBay! The lining is beige, so it is much easier to find things inside the purse AND I still have the original beige & black shell for when it gets warmer.For a stocking stuffer, Ambrosia Hino & WondderfulSonInLaw (WSIL) brought me a Star Trek action figure of Captain Picard. Earlier this week, I spotted a small coffee cup with a space scene on it at the Salvation Army. There was a little lettering along the bottom that said "To boldly go where no one has gone before".I got home, washed it, and filled it with hot water....the "clear" glaze turned to Star Trek, The Next Generation and the Enterprise (lettering says Paramount Studios & 1992 - among other things).I now have the perfect mug for a cup of Earl Gray, hot! I'm a happy little post menopausal nerd! Well hydrated with hot tea, too....

Diabetes Diet
Medical Author:Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor:William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Proper nutrition is essential for anyone living with diabetes. Control of blood glucose levels is only one goal of a healthy eating plan for people with diabetes. A diet for those with diabetes should also help achieve and maintain a normal body weight as well as prevent heart and vascular disease, which are frequent complications of diabetes.
There is no prescribed diet plan for those with diabetes. Rather, eating plans are tailored to fit an individual's needs, schedules, and eating habits. A diabetes diet plan must also be balanced with the intake of insulin and oral diabetes medications. In general, the principles of a healthy diabetes diet are the same for everyone. Consumption of a variety of foods including whole grains, fruits, non-fat dairy products, beans, and lean meats or vegetarian substitutes, poultry and fish is recommended to achieve a healthy diet.
Many experts, including the American Diabetes Association, recommend that 50% to 60% of daily calories come from carbohydrates, 12% to 20% from protein, and no more than 30% from fat. People with diabetes may also benefit from eating small meals throughout the day instead of eating one or two heavy meals. No foods are absolutely forbidden for people with diabetes, and attention to portion control and advance meal planning can help people with diabetes enjoy the same meals as others in the family.
Some people with diabetes will benefit from using specific methods to help follow a diabetes meal plan. None of these diet plans is required for people with diabetes, but many people will find one them useful. Some of these ways include...
