Im done with this friggin maytag turd of a washer. I replaced the shift motor, lasted one cycle, figured ok bad motor, it happens....
Ordered another motor, replaced, was running good thought i fixed it....lasted 3 weeks....took a shit.
Spent 60 bucks on an OEM maytag motor....a week later its junk too.
I am disgusted at the "quality" of this bullshit. Obviously something is causing these shift motors to grenade.
So im gonna buy a used, older, hopefully more mechanical machine...whats some good reliable brands with decent parts availabilty? Who to avoid?
Also please dont just say "buy new"...i paid 6 or 700 bucks in 2013 for this turd. At that price it should of been trouble free even under high useage for 15-20 years minimum.
