Product review (1 stars): Timer commonly goes bad, $321 to replace.
We've only had this washer for 2 years.  In the last 6 months, it was not fully cleaning clothes ("clean" clothes would smell lightly of body, especially in humid climates while traveling).  In the last 3 months, its been a struggle to get it to finish a load on its own will.  This week, a Maytag "Certified" person came to fix it.  He "ran all the tests" and couldn't identify it.  Between my husband and the Maytag parts line, we learned our timer was going out, that it was "unfortunately common" in this line, and that it would be $321 to replace the timer.  Unbelievable!  My family is poor and now we get to wash our clothes at a friends house until we can save for something to replace this hunk of junk.  Thanks a lot Maytag, I thought you stood by your products.
