Product review (1 stars): Terrible Product
A few months before the 12 month warranty on our washer expired, the machine started making louder spins.  Within a few weeks of warranty expiration the noise turned into a racket. An independent repair person said the bearings were shot - clearly they were going bad from virtually day one. Looking at the comments here, this sounds like a common problem - wish I'd read before we bought.  The replacement parts are over $600 (fortunately covered by an extended warranty on the drum), but labor to install is $200, so repairs are same as price for new machine. Worse still, the parts have been on back order for 4+weeks  at Maytag with no delivery date scheduled. This is quite definitely the worst product I've ever owned!
