Re: Need a new washer.
Currently not a fan of Whirlpool/Maytag (same company).
Dad has a 4 year old Maytag that he had to call the Maytag repair man out for. At only 4 years old, he was told that there was a problem with the chassis (something bent or broke), and to completely fix it would require a new chassis at some ridiculous price. If I remember correctly, the service tech said it was a common problem with that model, and they had revised the design on the newer machines. The guy was able to tweak it enough so that it will soldier on, but it's anybody's guess when it will crap out for good. Dad is a one man crew, and has been doing loads of laundry on his own for some decades. In other words, he knows how to load a machine properly, and isn't overloading it. I just think it speaks volumes that Maytag has a known issue with a machine that isn't even 5 years old, and aren't willing to fix it, or at least split the cost.
