Purchased a new 3000 Series Maytag Front-Load Washing Machine, and after less that 1 yr of use a loud banging noise began when the internal drum would spin. It would only get worse as the drum speed increased.

After talking to the Maytag Service Line, I was treated rudely as if it was my fault. A technician was sent to my home and after the first visit I spent $500+ for parts and labor to get the suggested repair - it did not work. They have now come a second time and spent another $75 for them to tell me it was now another problem which was $90 to make that repair.

Guess what ... it is still not working. The technician told me now that in fact it was another problem, that was not initially caught AND that the first two repairs may have been unnecessary. I have spent more on repairs than the original cost of the machine and Maytag specialist continue to guess at what could be wrong.

Maytag --- stand by your product and replace my machine. I thought these were built to last, what ever happened to the quality promise of the product. I use to believe in the brand, this is very disheartening.
