No comment on Maytag but #2. A really good deal is to maintain your home
warranty after you buy the house. They often cost less than an extended
warranty for any one appliance and it protects your entire home and all
appliances in it even the old ones. Making a claim is also easier as all
you do is make a call and pay a small deductable. These warranties can be
extended yearly and indefinately.

Do they really pay out that easily?

Yes and no. They contract with repair companies will basically do the
minimum required to get the appliance working again, and "working"
doesn't include problems like dryer drums squeaking. Often the repair
company will try to sell you more than the minimum service required.

For many items in a home, the repair company will insist that any
problem you have was there when you bought the house. We ran into this
with a plumbing problem.
