About 4 years ago my sister bought a new Maytag HE toploader with a 4 yr extended warranty. Within two years she had numerous service calls to the point that they gave her a $700 credit towards a new machine. With that she bought yet another Maytag HE toploader, the one with "commercial technology" and here it is barely two years old and it's kaput. It was displaying the dreaded F06 code (communications error I think) and now the display doesn't even light up. She's been run through the mill trying to get through, as usual these days, having to repeat the same thing over and over to each person along the route, getting the call dropped on transfers etc, but has finally managed to get it through someones head to set up a service call within the next 36 hours. I'm imagining it'll be weeks now until they get a service rep over to their place and no doubt after the initial visit he'll not have the required replacement module and will have to order one, then setup another service call to install it.. Anyways, just venting on sis's behalf.. It only strengthens my resolve to never buy a whirlpool made product again. I've been searching local sites to see if I can find a cheap old washer to see her through but they're like hens teeth right now and the few that people are selling they're asking big bucks. Anyways , she's coming over tomorrow morning with some washing as she has to be in town for her covid shot. She can't come in the house, so we'll have to sit outside, hopefully it won't be snowing which it is just starting to of all things.. LOL
