Is there a class action suit against Maytag/Whirpool for the Maytag 300 Quiet Series Dishwasher? There should be. Go to http://www.consumeraffairs.com under Maytag dishwasher complaints. There is obviously a design flaw in the control panel causing it to break and when you replace the part that breaks too. Maytag does not have any interest in taking care of this problem. Spoke to them today and their representative, Lisa, supervisor of customer service, informed me that she is the only person I could talk to about getting my concerns addressed. And, she followed that with saying that she could not address my concerns. The president of this company, Jeff Fettig, makes something like $14,000,000 a year according to Forbes. Surely he could help out the customers that bought his product!
Is there a class action lawsuit involving the Maytag Neptune Washer FAV6800AWW. Purchased in 2005; 3 yrs later had major problems with spinning cycle not removing water from tub, having to manually wring water out of clothes. Took 4 trips of service repairs to correct the problem. Now, 4 yrs later, same problem reoccurs. This time, warranty serviceman said it was not cost effective to repair. Maytag service plan rep said I would receive $282 to purchase another washing machine for the one I paid over $1,000. I was willing to pay this much money because I believed in Maytag’s reputation for quality having owed previous washers that lasted over 15 yrs. I would not have purchased a $1,000+ washer that lasts only 7 yrs (actually 3 yrs for 1st major repair). After learning about the meager am’t Maytag is offering in lieu of replacement, I’ve found there are huge numbers of blogs commenting on the same problem and the refusal of Maytag to correct the problem and/or replace the washer. Are there any options for us frustrated owners who are now out of $1,000 and a working machine after just 7 yrs.
We NEED a class action lawsuit for the Maytag Neptune TL top loading washer model #FAV6800AWW NOW!
Kind of funny that I have google searched my Maytag washermvwc6esww0 several times a year to look up recalls, to get manuals, and read reviews. Two and a half years after you post this Class Action Lawsuit on Maytag Centennial washers. I have one of these, model #: mvwc6esww0. I haven’t seen any savings with this washer. I had a front loafer HE before this Maytag, which I saved a lot of money, and my clothes came out cleaner and not sopping wet. I liked the features , that it was a Top Loader, nd that it was supposed to save on water and electricity. If I had known about this lawsuit, I would of definitely got my name on the list. False advertisement is completely wrong, especially for a big corporation who just wants to fill there pockets from consumers looking for a product to save on utilities and be more efficient. Shame on Whirlpool! I’m not happy that I got had, and missed out on this. I bet there are 100’s more people in this same situation, that didn’t even know there washer was in a class action lawsuit. So what is a person to do who has one of these washers? Is Whirlpool still replacing them when the consumer contacts them, or have parts to make them efficient? Someone please answer my post, please.
Agree with Shelly H. I have the may tag mvwc6ESWW1 . never had the money to repair so I pay more on water and electric because it refills at the end of spin cycle so I have to respin for half a cycle and stop it before refilling again. It also agitates before filling at start up. Have always felt cheated and deserve to have it fixed by the company! I don’t want money, just fixed or a replacement. Fair is fair.
