Whirlpool Water Heaters are CRAP!!

I say the strong statement about my current machine that is suppose to warm up my water so my wife and I can have warm/hot showers because my water heater stop working on me on Thursday night. I got home Thursday night after playing some basketball and as I took a shower i noticed the water wasn't very warm plus i had all of the cold water shut off. After hurrying through my shower I went and checked on the water heater and noticed that the pilot light was off. I tried turning it back on by following the lighting instructions and after 10 times i had no success. Tiffany then came home and took a cold shower and after her many sounds of agony as she took a shower i felt like we were in Mexico again and going through the times with no hot water or in some cases no propane for the tank. I then called Whirlpool early the next morning and to make a long story short, they ended up mailing me the parts that I needed overnight for free since i still had warranty on the unit (now i see why they put 6 year warranties on these things) and I called the plummer so he could come out on Saturday and replace the parts for me. When i got the parts on Saturday i proceeded to replace the parts myself and drain the tank but i called the plummer anyways to finish up my work and to teach me how to do it because by the sounds of it this won't be the last time i replace those parts. The Gas Thermostat and Chamber Assembly had went out only after one year of replacing the entire Water Heater. It was about this time last year that we replaced our water heater and i was pretty upset that after only one year it was already broken. The fix was easy it was just the inconvenience that was the problem. We finally got to take a warm shower on Saturday afternoon and all is well. The plummer recommended me the brand "Bradford White" for future water heaters just in case i would want to replace it, or maybe you are needed to replace yours, look for the Bradford White brand.
