Product review (1 stars): Wish I'd researched this one first!
Found this at an outlet store for "only" about $450, so certainly less than what others have paid, but still the exact same problems as others have described.  It lasted just over a year.  Maytag wants $200+parts to come out and fix it, or $360 to fix it and give an additional year warranty.  After finding these other reviews and having the exact same problems, with no real fix, I opted for a new non-Maytag machine and had the old one hauled away.  What a waste all around...
