Product review (1 stars): Extremely noisy spin. Failure after less than a year
Like an earlier reviewer indicated, this washer has a terribly loud spin cycle.  This noise started several weeks after purchase, and gradually worsened.  Today, about 8 months after purchase, I noticed a hard knocking sound during the spin cycle.  Surprise!  Clothes are still soaking wet at the end of the cycle.  So, I've scheduled a warranty repair visit, via the Maytag repair site.  It seems I've experienced a similar failure as the previous reviewers.
