Product review (1 stars): Maytag Mod MVWC6ESWW washer
Here is a letter I sent to Maytag about the above:
Maytag customer service.
To whom it may concern,
I purchased a Maytag Centennial washer; model number MVWC6ESWW0, serial number cy3241548 in August 2009. It is now broken. The machine fills and agitates as soon as you turn it on. It also "dumps" more water onto the clothes after the final spin cycle making them unfit to dry.

 I contacted you and got a negative response to my complaint. I was told it is now out of warranty and I had no recourse to fix it other than calling a "Maytag Repairman" and pay the full price of the repair. The broken part in question is the water control switch part number W10177795.

I feel this is unfair due to the many instances of problems others are encountering with this particular repair. I found these on You Tube.

I did some checking to purchase the necessary part and found the part number was changed to W10292584. This tells me the original part was apparently defective and poorly designed therefore necessitating the engineering of a new part to fix the defect.

Further evidence of a defective part (worthy of a recall) is the fact that part number W10292584 is on backorder from the factory due to high demand. Obviously there is a problem here that goes beyond normal wear and tear. I think it is a shame a Maytag product should fail after a little over two years after purchase.

I feel I should be at least reimbursed for the part in question which I purchased from Marcone appliance parts. I purchased from them because I receive a discount for being a Lowe's employee. I was told the part would be shipped in 3 to 5 business days but now I have been informed it will not be in stock before January 1st 2012.

To add injury to insult my wife and I now have to take our clothes to a Laundromat costing us twenty two dollars to clean our clothes per week. You times that for the five weeks waiting for the part and it totals well over a hundred dollars out of pocket.

My mother owned a Maytag washer and dryer for years with out any problems.
This was one of the leading reasons I bought Maytag.
I have had a Maytag dryer at least 5 rears which is serving me very well.

As I told the representative who called me the first time I reported this, I will not even consider or recommend Maytag products due to the poor response I received initially.

I know this is not related to this but I had a Sony Television which "claimed "it would be the last Television I would ever need to buy and it failed after 5 years. It had been under a silent recall of which I was not made aware of until it was too late. I found this information on the internet. They eventually gave me a substantial discount on a new Sony TV after I emailed them a second time. Though this was not what I expected, it eased the pain of having to buy a new one.

I am not expecting a free washer just compensation for a defective part that should not have failed so quickly.
