Product review (1 stars): what a waste of money
We are a family of five and do laundry daily.  I expected to use this washer for years for how much we paid for it.  When it works, it works well.  However, it doesn't work more than it does!  Within the first six months (while under warranty) the washer broke down three times.  I wouldn't spin out the clothes and had error codes.  Now, just two weeks out of the one year warranty it is smoking!  When I opened the washer there was rubber everywhere . . . I am glad I was home or my house might have burned down!  When I called maytag I was told there was nothing they could do, except schedule me for a repair at a minimum cost of $129 plus any parts.  They said they stand by their washer, but in the next breath because of the fire hazard they cautioned me not to use it until it was serviced! They were willing to sell me an extended warranty that would last for another year for $322. Of course, it wouldn't cover it's current fire hazard issue.  What a complete waste of time and money.  I am going to put this piece of junk out by the road with a big free sign on it. It is only good for scrap.
