Product review (1 stars): Poor Quality Washer
Bought this new in May 2009. Washer stop agitating & was diagnosed as needing a new transmission.  I can buy a new washer for less than the repair.  Maytag customer service is "in name only".  They offer me an extended warranty which requires I fork over about 70% of the original cost of the washer, but does not cover labor AND it is good for only one year.  It is cheaper to buy a new washer than fix a Maytag.  Also, Maytag fails to understand that Federal Law, specifically, the Implied Warranty of Merchantability, is in addition to any express warranty they might offer.  Bottom line:  Do not waste your money on a Maytag.  The company is more interested in selling expensive extended warranties than in building a quality product.  Maytag is NOT the same company your grandparents knew back in the day.  Buyer beware!
