Product review (1 stars): Maytag offered the parts to repair BUT not the repair
We bought the machine and it was fine for a while.  Then it started to make noise like an airplane taking off in your house.  So we we were told the cost of the repair and parts was more than double the cost of the machine -  try that for logic!  So we complained and Maytag said they would provide the drum to us free of charge...allegedly a $900 part, which makes it more than the cost of the machine.  But then we get the honor to pay about $450 for labor to the person who repairs it!  So please follow this:  Maytag recognizes the problem but leaves us high and dry to pay to replace the defective parts.  I told my wife that we should get the drum (which they will ship to us) and then give it away (or throw it away) with the machine and buy a NON-MAYTAG machine and save money.  Wow....to think that we trusted the name Maytag!!! One big joke.  For those reading this...this is not a joke and if you have had a problem like this let us know and we can try and get the machine recalled or the company executives held responsible for their gross misconduct and coverup.  This is outrageous.

UPDATE:  NOW THEY TELL US THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE....BUT FOR ABOUT $300 THEY WILL SEND US ANOTHER OF THEIR MACHINES.  TO THINK THIS IS HOW THEY RUN A COMPANY....  They sell you a machine that is defective,  don't have the parts to repair it, and do you the honor of paying for a new machine at a "discount" price.  Problem is you are stuck with their brand and their lack of credibility. Just hope the government doesn't use public money to bail this company out when reality catches up!
