Product review (1 stars): 5 repairs in 14 months
I purchased this dryer along with a Maytag washer in May 2010.  Since that time I have had 4 service calls due to dryer malfunctions with a 5th scheduled for this Thursday.  All components of the dryer (thermostat, thermal fuse, etc.) which control drying operations have been replaced at least 1 time, yet it continues to break down.  The only part left is the computer control module.  I've never been one to purchase extended warranties, but with the problems incurred during the 1st year of operation, I'm glad I did.....

Obviously, this machine is a lemon - I know it, the repairmen know it, yet Maytag informs me that the machine MAY be replaced after the 3rd service call (under my extended warranty), if that is what THEY chose to do.  I am left with a machine which functions for a month or 2, then breaks down, and then takes a week or 2 for repairs.  In retrospect, I wish that I had bought a top of the line LG dryer instead.  My daughter has been using hers constantly for a large family for 2+ years without any mechanical problems whatsoever.

Follow up:  Finally, after a total of 7 service calls over 15 months, Maytag agreed that this machine (model) was a lemon!  So under the extended warranty, I had 2 options: 1) Replacement with a machine of compatible features, or 2) a cash buy out.  They searched around for a replacement and came up with the same machine that has caused me so many headaches.  On top of that, the "new" Maytag would be shipped from the manufacturer directly - I would be responsible for the shipping & haul away charge ($150).  I went for option 2, a $588 buyout.  My $1100 original purchase price was now worth only half!  But I can assure you I will stay far away from replacing my old dryer with a Maytag - it's NOT been a fun experience in any way, shape or form!  In closing, just remember the old Maytag commercial ads on TV - the one where the Maytag repairman is sitting around with nothing to do.  When was the last time you saw that ad??  It was before Maytag was bought out by Whirlpool.  Maytag, as we once knew it, no longer exists!
