I am disappointed that Maytag decided to save perhaps 50 cents, and
went from using a metal part that would not wear out, to plastic part
that they knew would wear out (and would bring them a few bucks each
time customers need to replace it).

I guess Maytag is no longer a quality brand.

Maytag used to be the best washer and dryer made. Our washer lasted 22
years and the dryer is still going after 24 years. Times have changed,
unfortunately. The problem is, the other brands are not any better and some
are much worse.

As with so many things, it's a race to the bottom.

Not to defend Maytag, I have also seen the loss of quality, but mine has
a plastic switch as well, but in over 18 years it has never malfunctioned.
The one I had before that was also plastic and it lasted at least ten years.

Was the plunger also plastic (I assume that there is a plunger in your
washer, that actuates the switch)?

Yes. nylon I belive.
