Product review (1 stars): Machine is broke after 15 months
I purchased this washer in December 2011. After replacing my Kenmore after 7 years, I was looking for a more reliable brand and I always visioned the Maytag guy hanging out with his dog waiting for repairs. The machine looks good and can fit large loads. About 2 months ago, the machine started getting louder and louder on spin cycles. Just last week, that loud spin was accompanied by a clunking sound. I then called a certified Maytag repair company. The gentlemen heard the model name and the symptoms, then stated a visit would be a waste of my money. He knew what the problem was. It was the worn out bearings issue. That was his last three repairs on this model. Each time, the repairs were over $800 and everyone was choosing not to repair. He even told me, in his opinion, the machine should have been recalled. I'm choosing not to repair and choosing not to purchase Maytag again.
