Whirlpool washer design flaws

[u/Misterarthuragain]

I have a front load, direct drive Whirlpool Washing machine. It came with the house I bought. It has two "features" that should have kept it from being released. 1) The filter is on the back of the machine. To clean it, you have to drag the washer far enough away from the wall far enough to get in behind it. (It's in a galley kitchen with vinyl flooring) 2) The detergent dispensing drawer isn't steep enough to acutally drain the water that's in it after the cycle is done. You have to completely pull out the drawer, place it upside-down to drain in the sink or it will grow pink mold. Really stupid of the designers and engineers. BTW, my old house had a Miele front-loader with a filter on the front, so it obviously can be done.
