Product review (1 stars): $800 down the drain
We purchased this washer two years ago at Lowes. Several months after we noticed the spin cycle would get super loud, just as the other reviews have described, like a jet engine. We thought nothing of it. Then one day recently it stopped spinning. We called a repair man and as he opened it up bits and pieces fell out - he said it was a problem with the bearing, just as described in the other reviews, and it would cost $600 to fix. Other reviews mentioned this is a recurring problem even after getting serviced under warranty. I called Maytag/Whirlpool and they offered no help whatsoever, especially since it was no longer under the first year of warranty. Guess I'm SOL. I would never buy Maytag or Whirlpool ever again.
