wow my mom at her summer cottage has mah9700 washer its a great washer with the matching dryer
so many memories
That iron was a joke! At the time they had something like a 60 day satisfaction guarantee or your money back. I got my money back.
While many will knock the Herrin built washers, I kinda liked them. They were not the most reliable but they did clean well and being able to do a transmission in about 45min was a good thing. From a service stand point I loved working on them.
Many will say the laundry was their demise but there were other product categories that also had issues.

I still see the Samsung-built Neptune washers and dryers on CL now and then. Maytag did the service in the early days of Samsung breaking into the U.S. market, which IIRC, Whirlpool inherited from Maytag in the acquisition for a short time.
By this time, most of the bugs had been worked out of the original Neptune MAH front-loading washers and they proved themselves as worthy performers.

for any manufacturer, you can't blame the actual machine(s) for bringing a company down......
it falls on the Corporate bigwigs, whos decisions and poor product quality that is mostly at fault, and how they handle such faulty equiptment put out to the consumer....
it's a hit or mis game out there, quality control should be a top priority, but in many cases its just corporate greed, build machines at the cheapest price, with little remorse for customer loyalty in any product or service......all it takes is one bad apple to ruin a companies reputation....
as John L mentioned in another thread, no one gave Speed Queen a second thought until the direct drives were phased out.....There's not a lot of difference in a Raytheon built SQ versus an Alliance built one.....outside of the seal issue, and changing the pump to motor mounted.....most of everything else remained the same...Alliance did not build a whole new machine totally different from Raytheons version.....
one good thing, Alliance at least did take a faulty prone washer, and turn it into one of the top machines to buy, that doesn't happen all too often...

Time will tell if the Speed Queen washers are any good with few issues.
Feature-wise, these looked like very nice top load washers: Finger Faucet, ATC and non-ATC temps, many different speed combinations, stainless tub, spin drain... Shame about the built quality. The manual for the MAV 9750 actually says one must not soak for more than 30 minutes (maybe because of the tub seal?). Also, the Pre Wash setting gives 33 minutes (!) of agitation. Sounds like a bit much.
Maytag had other interestingproducts at that time like the 3rd rack dishwasher.

It wasn't so much the MAV and PAV model washers
that had issues with the tub seals, it was usually the SAV and NAV models that have poor compatibility with that particular tub seal and bearing design. I notice that its usually the Maytag washers that do have the stainless steel tubs that the bearings and tub seals tend to go in. I have a plastic tub norgetag model and the bearings are still running smooth after almost 8 years of heavy use but if I had gotten a model with the stainless steel tub they would have probably failed a few years ago. Unfortunately the Atlantis (MAV) and Performa (PAV) models have a tendency to snap the clutch/pinion gear arms in the transmission and by the clunking noises coming out of mine it seems the transmission will need to be replaced anytime soon. I have always gotten good performance from this washer so of course I will be fixing it when the transmission goes out to keep it running.

I have a PAV5157 (and matching dryer) given to me by a relative. 11 years old. The washer had a problem that I feared was the tranny gone bad but proved to be a simple pump replacement. The pair was housed indoors and had relatively light usage. The washer had some heavy rusting under the top at the fill flume, otherwise is in nice condition.

Nice litereture ...I have that one.
I sold the two tone Amanna which is kinda retro looking.
Looks like a Speed Queen but the insides have plastic parts compared
to all metal .
The fun thing about the front loaders is that
you can set it to see the rpms when washing and spinning.

Weren't the NAV models similar to the Amana/Speed Queen washers and dryers?

Yes
Amana NAV and Maytag SAV models are the same as Speed Queen and Amana just with a Maytag transmission and failure prone drum bearings.

MAV 5920E
I remember i used to check out the Maytag website often when these models were on the market.
Has anyone ever seen or had experiences with the MAV 5920E with the electronic controls?

No but...
I have read reviews on the models with the electronic controls and i remember a few people saying that the control board broke after a year or less of use. Their were similar electronic control models (not listed in these brochures for some reason)when I went to buy my Maytag MAV2757AWW washer in December of 2005 and i thought about purchasing the one with all the electronics but I didn't want that...I wanted a washer that you could customize to any cycle you wanted and if it needed to spin out again all I have to do is turn the dial around and turn it on, im sure it was much more complicated to do simple things like that on those models. I figure the less features, the better the reliability. And with a herrin washer your gonna need it.
