I installed a new set of front-load Maytags in a giant house today, replacing a set of Maytag Neptunes that were moved to a rental property a few blocks away. While the movers were there, the owner wanted "an old set" that was in the basement of the house removed and trashed. Oh, we'll have none of that, I thought but hadn't seen the set so had no idea what to expect was down there. It was bought as second pair and used fairly rarely over the years since it was installed. The washer began to leak so it was just easier to get rid of them than to try to fix them. Can you guess where this washer is leaking from? Typical for a Maytag, the water inlet aerator. Not much in features, BOL in fact but they both sound like new machines and other than some cleaning and a new inlet kit, should be good to go. I have a good friend who is looking for her first house so this will make a nice housewarming. Nothing says lovin' like a gift of major appliances!
