My Sears brand washing machine lasted 24 years. Came with a GREAT

manual and the couple repairs it needed were a piece of cake.



Milady upgraded to a high efficiency front load Maytag two years ago.

A couple days ago it blew a fuse mid cycle and she couldn't even open

the door. It had all my britches in it and my one remaining pair was

getting pretty rank so she had the local repair guy out.



he said ya, no repair manual to be had. Normally a tech sheet is taped

inside the machine but not the case on this one. He didn't know how to

repair it unless we call Maytag. he also said cost is likely the same

as a new one. So, we should just throw it away. its a model

MHWE200XW00 serial HL12229330 FWIW.



Say it ain't so Joe.

If your front load washer smells - you can run a cycle with bleach or white vinegar through the machine. And spray the front boot with vinegar if there is any mold.
