Product review (1 stars): Should not be on market- un safe and should be re call could have killed someone from explosion and hole now in our wall
Our  Maytag Maxima front-loading washer had a catastrophic failure while in a high speed spin. This resulted in what can only be described as an "explosion." The top was blown off the machine & each side was bent out one side about six inches. Wall has a hole about 20"x20" in studs and drywall. The metal drum was shredded & the other interior parts were broken, bent, & destroyed. Plastic & metal "shrapnel" was strewn about the room. The explosion damaged the drier next to the washer and sink on other side of drier. The explosion was louder than a bomb blast shaking the house.  If anyone had been in the room, they would certainly have been injured, & possibly killed. I did a search online and found other similar reports and can not believe this product is allowed on the market.
