Nick, first off, I have got a Maytag washer / dryer about 14 years old
which run good but I was suspecting that one day, it might stop. I
think now if I had to replace them, I would go with Whirlpool (which
incidentally I think bought out Maytag about a year or so ago; others
can correct me if I am wrong here) because my last appliance repair,
the repairman told me that Whirlpool was the best and I also checked
consumer reports in the library about 7 months or so ago and it also
seem to rate Whirlpool as best overall for both. I feel confident to
suggest Whirlpool to you and perhaps Kenmore next. I know I'll not
buy Maytag for my replacements as there seems to be too many horrow
stories. The only question I really have will be whether I should go
with a front loader being I've an occasional bad back and my wife
and I'll be getting closer to retirement age so we are getting old
(according to my teenagers).
That said, I hate to see you have to replace a 1.5 year old machine
due to the expense. Hope you can fix your problem.
