I had a 35+ year old Maytag. It developed a small leak (teaspoon but afraid it would only get worse). So that is exactly why I bought a Whirlpool because Maytag is now made by Whirlpool.

The 2 washers are WORLDS apart. Seems like Whirlpool kept none of the excellent features of the Maytag washer.

We has a GE, purchased by the BF, who rarely reads reviews. It lasted a month before the circut board went out. Took over a month to get it fixed. Gave it to a friend and purchased an LG. I was so steamed when he inisited that we had to buy a "set" . The new GE dryer is definitely not as good as the dryer that went with the previous washing machine.

don't buy a GE washer. I purchased mine a month ago. The first machine was a dud and they replaced it the first week. The second one came and was making loud noises. The guy came and the drain pump was bad. They put in a new drain pump and after a week this one started making noise. I am currently waiting for another drain pump. The matching dryer I just bought ? Well the start button cracked. Ok what the heck? I am so annoyed. I had a whirlpool for 20 yrs with never a prob. Sick of the constant rip off.

Our he washer wasn't even 6 years an transmission was shot someone else we know had the same problem with his he washer. Love the speed Queen washer alot better than the ge washer. 25 minutes shorter and clothes are still clean.

@Ainhisg Have you ever had trouble with fabric softner leaving spots on your clothes? My daughter-in-law has the TR7 and she is not very happy with it.

I don't use fabric softener, so I'm no help. So sorry!

I just checked online and found out you should dilute the fabric softener. This is from a trouble shooting site.

Spots on clothes from a Speed Queen TR7 washer are often caused by fabric softener or detergent residue, or oil from the machine's components. To fix this, clean the dispenser and tub, dilute fabric softener, use the correct wash cycle (avoiding "Eco"), and consider a hot, empty maintenance wash with a dishwasher tablet or vinegar to remove buildup.
