Product review (1 stars): Do Not Buy a Maytag Maxima Front Loader!!!!!! Even the Repairman Hates it!
I bought this machine brsnd new and within 6 months had to call the repairman.  It stopped midcycle and with error codes indicating drain pump.

Called the Maytag repair people.  They said it would be 3 WEEKS until someone could come check it out!  I can't go 3 weeks without a washer with children!
I called a local repair shop who came out that afternoon. He saw the machine and said," Ohhh, you got one of these!" To get to the drain pump you have to dismantle the machine- remove the top and front panals and about 25 screws later (3 different types of screw heads required!), you find the drain pump.

The drain pump had one of my girls' elastic hair tie wrapped around the drain pump fan and coins and a few other small toy pieces caught in the drain catch. Tiny items freely slip through the door and tub.

I had it 3 1/2 years and took apart the machine and cleaned out the drain pump 4 times.  After the last draining error incident, we got the CCU and MCU boards error codes and the machine locked up.  Once again the repairman was called back and he said there is no way to tell which board is bad, so most people either scrap the machine or replace one at a time hoping it will be the culprit.  These boards are over $200 a piece.

In addition, you must be vigilant about cleaning around the rims and never shutting the door when empty. It gets very smelly.

After a ton of money invested in this machine for 3 1/2 years, a handful of repairs and a machine that often left clothes smelly despite regular affresh cleanings and proper soap amounts, I went back to a regular no bells and whistles top loader.

It's been soooo easy and repair free and my clothes are free and if my kid leaves a Lego in his pocket, guess what!....its in the bottom of the tub when I put the clothes in the dryer!  Zero drain pump issues! My clothes are clean and smell fresh...not moldy and sour!

I regret spending the moneyvon such a poorly engineered machine that clearly has design and function problems.

Avoid like the plague!

Now the matching dryer has been completely problem free and dries clothes quick.
