my maytag performa lasted only two years and it stripped the transmission . will not buy maytag again.
My wife and I have owned a Maytag Performa since 2000, and it’s a durable, dependable machine. We’d still be using it if we hadn’t just bought front-loading high efficiency machines.
I guess Maytags are like everything else now, built to break. Gone are the days of buying appliances that last 20 years. Here are the day of poor quality, expensive appliances we are lucky to get 5 years from. What are we worried about plastic water bottles for when we fill our dumps with appliances.
Mine lasted 2 years as well, do yourself a
favour and avoid Maytag!!!! Transmission
stripped as well!!
Obviously the Performa series has some major issues with the transmission. My transmission stripped just after 2 years as well.
My Performa washer has had nothing but problems since we purchased it in July of ‘03. We’ve had to have the water level sensor repaired 2 times. Just last week, the tub started leaking and the transmission went out. I will NEVER buy Maytag again. What a disappointment!
So sad to hear about all these problems with the Performa. Mine is over two years now and still performing well.
My parents bought a maytag washer & Dryer when i was a newborn (1969) and just sold it, not trashed it, about 5 years ago to a friend. They are both still running strong! So naturally i bought maytag myself. Its lasted me 4 years and one e-wife and still running stong. Guess i just got the only good transmition. I love my maytag!!
My Maytag lasted a grand total of four years before the transmission went out. I will never buy a Maytag again.
Mine lasted exactly 2 years, then bam no more spinning and then there was a burning smell.
My Maytag Performas transmission went out two years after buying it. I will NEVER buy a Maytag again, especially after reading site after site of the same reported problem.
piece of %^$#…..Lasted 2.5 years. Dryer works but washer is siezed. motor/bearings shot. Matag sucks
