i saw something simmilar .......
I read the article............It stated that the Maytag washer ran for three years and a few months give or take a few.They were having a drawing for a new one if you would guess how long the one in their store would run before it stopped,it was programed to run and refill.. This was at Dan's Maytag in Orem Utah------Dan,Dan, the Maytag man!!!!!!
