I am so glad to hear I am not the only one who hates the Maytag washer. I have had a new seal to help with the mold problem, and also have had a whole new metal casing due to rust. I spins constantly out of balance since I have had it worked on and I don't even call the repair man any more. I was told I could not wash small throw rugs or anything fuzzy. I had a problem with spinning out water ect because of lint or fuzz. I would hope a $1000 washer could wash robes, towels(new fuzzy ones) ect. I would love to make them (Maytag) take this piece of junk back. I bought it because Maytag was suppose to be a great washer!!!!!!!!
