Exactly,
But whatever you do, don't buy a Kitchen Aid or any other CRAP made by Whirlpool.
I bought a brand new washer from Kitchen Aid (Crap) 3 years ago and ended up having the thing repaired about a month ago. (It would not agitate or spin)
Turns out the plastic coupling between the motor and transmission had sheared to bits. 15 dollar part and 129 to have it put in.
Still, I watched the dude do the work and now at least I know how to get the thing apart for the next time when it happens, and it will happen again I am sure. (You unscrew the control head, rotate the head bacwards, undo the 2 clip below the head and pull the entire front and sides off of the back in one piece - wow. Who knew)
Anyway, my parents had a Matag for 30 years which never ever broke down.
Go Maytag, Fuck Kitchen Aid / Whirlpool.
