<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Ever since I discovered my Maytag's were really Norgetag's we no longer got along. Water temps were off for some time. The only way to get hot was to toggle the HOT button on and off. Turning off the cold faucet caused machine to stop filling. Yes, replacing the valve is easy. Then the machine decided to skip the last spin. Washer would shut off with rinse water still in it. No big problem, I'd just reset timer. Now, just to be mean and ornery, it skips the rinse altogether. I suspect the timer needs replacing. This is not really a timer at all, certainly not like the ones I remember replacing with all the colored wires. It's an electronic control board with a knob. Discontinued years ago (washer is 17 years old) the part is pretty much impossible to find, new or rebuilt. </span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">So I decided to order a new Speed Queen pair, the 2017 kind where the washer's got a transmission, the agitator moves back and forth while the tub does not and it fills up to the top with water. I have my reasons for not wanting a front-loader. I probably made a mistake and chose the electronic console models but I wanted to move into the 21st Century while I still have the time. The discussion and videos from members concerning Speed Queen were very helpful. I don't understand how the 2018 SQ washers and most of the other top load machines can be expected to actually get clothes clean. They seem to just slosh stuff around, sort of like a front-load machine on it's back.</span>
