Product review (2 stars): sparks shoot from control panel
I did like the fact that it was $100 off at Lowes and was super quiet compared to my 6 yo GE (that was leaking at the bottom seal and destroyed the transmission bearing) however after about 6 months it started acting up, the washer would just shut off in the middle of a cycle then on 11/10/2013 it stopped again and i was not able to get the tub to drain, i found the troubleshooting manual and followed the directions as written and was able to manually get the tank to drain, however I was not able to exit the diagonostic mode so i had to unplug the machine. i plugged it in set it up for small load regular cycle, pressed start and sparks shot out from the bottom of the control panel. I am currently in the process of getting Maytag to honor their warrenty on a 7 month old machine. that i bought on 4/21/2013 from lowes
