Product review (1 stars): Like Others, Bearing went out just after 12 months
Just like others, the bearing went out just after 12 months of use.  I bought mine in Oct 2010.  I won't re-hash all the details.  It started getting loud around about 11 months, and I should have called and claimed my warranty.  Now I am kicking myself. I will never give Maytag or Whirlpool (their owner) any of my money ever again.  They were zero help and deny all the reviews online for this particular machine, there should be a class action lawsuit for this product. Too many people purchased this from Homedepot and Lower around the same time and have had the same issue.  Shame on you Maytag.
