It's called research. I've never repaired one personally, well take that
back. I did upgrade the drain pump in my washer recently and now the pump is
a bit louder. But hey, what do you expect when you upgrade from a 40 watt
unit to an 80 watt unit (which is the only pump Maytag now has for this
washer)? . Anyway, the reason I know about the door is because I've done
research on the net. My machine is approaching 6 and a half years old and it
hasn't had this problem yet, and hopefully won't. Based on research I've
done, many of the machines that are having problems are between 4 to 7 years
old. As for quality, the Maytags are very good. My parents had one that
lasted 20 years. When it finally went, the bottom was rusted out, it was
leaking, and the drain pump quit working. I don't know if it was true back
then, but you could almost build the neptune washer from scratch, based on
the parts I've seen sold for these things. One final note, you may get some
folks telling you to buy a new washer, don't bother with the Maytag, it's a
lemon, you'll never get it working properly, yada yada yada. I can't speak
for everyone else, but except for some repairs covered by the settlement,
mine was and still is working just fine.

Its a small world...the little old lady that lives next to me just had
the same exact problem with the same washer. I called maytag for her
and there is no money available any more from the Law Suit and the
price that was mentiond below was I believe the same amount for the
same parts (sounds like this guy did one before) It sucks to know that
it was the manufactures fault and was obviously proven in a court of
law but look at it this way this model is a very excellent machine and
200 and some dollars will probably carry you through the rest of your
lifetime using this machine..goos luck

How do I replace the mesh cup that comes with washer? I've had it for 6
years and have never done any maintenance on it. I washed a couple of
blankets and now the thing won't spin. The clothes are soaking
wet!!!!!!!!!!

Any suggestions, please?
