Product review (1 stars): So disappointed!
I purchased this washer 3 years ago and all was good.  The washer had so many wash features but in all honestly I only used the normal or heavy duty wash cycles.  A couple weeks ago the washer started acting up, displaying F27 and F21 error codes.  I troubleshooted online..The F27 code was a communication error and the F21 code was a drainage problem.  I removed the kick plate and unscrewed the cap to the drain.  Found some debris of plastic bits, coins etc.  Unfortunately clearing this area did not solve the problem.  Had to place a service call to Maytag.  Technician came out and discovered many issues with the washer.  The pump was filled will debris:  coins, a pen, plastic bits, a thumb drive.  How can all these items get to the pump?  This is my question.  I was told it would cost $900 to repair by the Maytag technician.  This was the cost of the machine.  I decided to purchase a Whirlpool washer instead to replace.  I'm so pissed and need to write to Maytag about my complete dissatisfaction.  Yes, I should check the pockets of my kids clothes before washing, but hell, how can items in the pockets reach the pump and drainage system?  Never had this issue with a top loader.  Hopefully someone can share!
