Product review (1 stars): As if the lid lock weren't bad enough, ours caught on fire
A year and three months after we bought this machine, I came downstairs to find our house filling with smoke. The washer was stopped partway through spinning, clicking and clicking, and spewing smoke. Maytag agreed to cover the repair, as a "goodwill gesture." The capacitor had cracked, leaking fluid into the transmission and belt. Four months later, the same thing happened again, only this time, because we stopped the machine before it really started burning, they said there was no safety issue and would not cover the repair. They did offer to let us buy a new Maytag at the employee discounted rate. How generous. I think we'll cut our loses and never buy Maytag or Whirlpool again.
