I think they just contract-out locally.

Since it's a Maytag chances are it's not going to need any service. As a
matter of fact it is very rare that any new appliance will need service
for a very long time. Don't waste your money on a service contact...I am
sure they will try to sell you one.


You are also wise to get a low-end unit...the fancy ones with tons of
features you don't need are the ones more likely to have problems.


My Maytag washer has been working fine for 26 years and has needed no
service whatever.

Our present unit is an 18 year old Maytag. It never needed service
until about 4 years ago when the drive belts needed to be replaced. I
_think_ the belts need replacing again. Not sure yet. If that is all
it needs, then we won't be needing a replacement washer. I'm just
doing preliminary research now in case we do need a replacement.

Thanks for the comments.



Hmm , they must have gone back to belts then. The selling point for mine
was that it was direct drive and uses no belt.
