We bought a new Whirlpool electric clothes dryer 2 years ago. It was mid line, not bottom or top of the price models. What a piece of CRAP! The drum would get into some awful loud vibration sounding like some giant tennis shoes were being tumbled in the drum. We finally had the warantee service come out, and the guy replaced the drum. The gauge metal was so thin I could dent it with my finger. The new drum was even more out of round than the original, but the service guy predicted that. He spent some time pushing on the high side of the drum while it was still uninstalled, trying to get it to be more round. He completed the installation and it had the same loud thumping sound that it had before, but less often. For whatever reason it seems to be behaving for the last 6 months.
Are you going to get any better product with a different brand name?? Whirlpool has bought out all the other domestic manufacturers. Of course my "smart" son says "you need to get a LG brand" made in Korea and pay some huge fortune for it. When he bought his LG, it was delivered and the guys said be careful, this is one heavy dryer. It has a 200 # block of concrete in the base to keep it from vibrating across the floor. (I think it was the dryer w/ the concrete, but he bought both washer and dryer at the same time).
Old fashioned as I am, I will not buy a Korean washer/dryer, nor any of their cars, nor any Hondas or Toyotas either. I want to spend my money on products that keep US workers employed, and keep the profits here in the US for greater manufacturing expansion....but it sure is hard to do with some of the crap US manufacturers are now putting out.
I am glad that I am not an appliance repairman. I'd go nuts if I had to work on crap every hour of every day. I'd rather load and spread manure. Sorry about the rant!
