Product review (1 stars): Bad design
We bought the mvwb700vq Top Load Large Capacity washer in Jan 2009 from Home Depot with the extended warranty along with the matching dryer.
Within the warranty period we called the Maytag man. Since Whirlpool bought Maytag, the Maytag man has had no peace. The dumb design permits small coins that are easy to leave in pockets, to get below the agitator and below the inner stainless steel drum. If not recovered they get into the pump. Our warranty expired last month (Sept. 2013) and we have the same problem again. I am quite handy and have removed the top, removed the flexible rubber rim piece, removed the agitator and six screws supposedly holding the tub drum in place. I just cannot get the drum out, it moves an inch or so but that is it. I just cannot find good advice anywhere on the web or from Home Depot where I bought it. Our previous washer never had this problem. From reading complaints this appears a common flaw in the design. Even small clothing pulled under are complaints from some people. I am reluctant to spend another $300 on a new warranty, throwing good money after bad. Best buy another brand.
