Product review (1 stars): DO NOT BUY MAYTAG FRONTLOAD WASHER! You WILL regret it!
Do Not buy maytag 5000 series! My washer broke down after a couple of years. It was a hassle to get maytag/whirlpool to fix. I had to pay for diagnostic to confirm the problem. Then finally about a month of my washer being out of service, they shipped the parts and had to come out and fix it. The parts cost as much as the washer. The parts and labor were covered under the 5 year warranty. Now about 1.5 years later, Itis back to the same problem. DO NOT BUY THESE BRANDS!!!!
