Maytag has a few quality appliances if you want to pay a little more. This video does a teardown on a Maytag commercial duty washer and dryer:
That used to be true with things like lawnmowers. But nowadays, HD and Lowes basically get the same exact model and # as everyone else. They usually buy enough in bulk to pass on the savings though.I have heard and read that where you buy the appliances makes a difference. From an appliance store you will get better models. From Home Depot or Lowe’s you get lesser ones.
It might be stuck in "flood mode". This can happen when the machine takes a long time to fill, or when the water pressure drops suddenly.Just replaced an 11 year old Maytag Centennial that started to have issues I couldn't fix with the usual parts (actuator, run capacitor, etc.) So we went to the local scratch and dent place and bought another Maytag being the first one lasted 11 years with heavy use from a family of six. Not even 2 weeks old and it's stuck in a drain cycle. No matter what it keeps trying to drain even without any water in it. These newer models don't have an easily replaceable pressure/water level switch as they are built into the main computer board. Yes it's under warranty but repair guy is scheduled a week out if I want it done under warranty. I just hate appliances in general anymore because they are incredibly flaky and made like crap compared to decades ago. Anyone else have crap luck with Maytag? I thought Samsung and LG were the ones to avoid, now it seems like Maytag too.
Yup, +1 on that. There expensive, and hard to find one in stock. But rock solid reliable. We got the old classic top loading one. Though it is now made with modern electronic touch buttons, it is still made by Speedqueen and has their quality.Speedqueen is also good brand.
They still make and sell the mechanical ones. I think they are 5 series and 7 series are the electronic onesYup, +1 on that. There expensive, and hard to find one in stock. But rock solid reliable.

Even they were bought out and quality is reported to be diminished. I still wanted them but was a no sale with the wife. She didn't like the laundromat lookSpeedqueen is also good brand.
I have no intention getting rid of them.Keep 'em
Kind of describes whole world right now.Everything's gone to hell these days.
They do have like 10 speeds too. What happens to a 1 speed spin cycle. Was it really that bad?Roper, the economy brand, is Whirlpool too. Internally the only likely difference between a Roper washer and a Maytag non-commercial washer is outer sheetmetal, label, and price.
Appliances are built like automatic transmissions today. Built cheap, but expensive to buy, and prone to fail far too soon.
