I knew it was inevitable as every appliance I bought when I moved in 5 years ago has recently been replaced, except, for stove (sure that's coming next😡). They were GE. My fridge is a crappy Samsung (ice maker stopped working after a year).
Now today the washing machine died😡. I bought the Maytag digital sensing & lid lock style in 2014 -- knew it was a big mistake the week I got it. Today, it stopped working just stuck on fill.
I'm sure since it's "digital" display it will be costly to fix, therefore, tomorrow I'll be looking into a new one.
I only expected it to last 5 years like the others but I got a extra few months out of it!
Suggestions anyone -- I only do a few washes a week & nothing heavy duty. (Last year I replaced the dryer). I only want top load style & I'm not sure even reading reviews how good appliances are anymore.

I replaced my defunct Maytag (top of the line Neptune) and my Maytag dishwasher (both died around 6 to 7 years old) with Bosch for both appliances.
That was in 2009. Both are still working perfectly. (Knock on wood!)
ETA: We run the dishwasher pretty much every day. The washer 2 to 3 times a week, depending.

Our washer/dryer set DH and I bought back in early 2000 when we got married...nearly 20 yrs old and both are still going strong. We bought the Kenmore set at Sears and the washer is a top loader. We have maintenance done on the set once a year and that works well for us.

@Venezia @homedecor1 , my Bosch appliances are heading on 14 years old and going great. Duel fuel range and dishwasher. Just replace Kenmore Elite fridge still working as there is a five week wait to get black delivered. Who can go five weeks without a fridge?
My washing machine is next to go. Kenmore Elite. My appliance repair guy says no LG and no Samsung. I will probably go with Whirlpool or GE.
Good luck! LM

I have all Whirlpool appliances, all close to 30 years. A couple years ago I had the local Whirlpool company come out to replace a knob on my range that I had to special order direct from Whirlpool. The guy was so impressed at the condtion everything was in. He also said, today they only make appliances to last 5 years at the most, and they all scratch very easily.
Could not believe it.

@homedecor1 I have always had great luck with Kenmore appliances. My current front load washer is a Kenmore and going on 15 years with no problems. My old Kenmore lasted at least 12 years.

Maytag Commercial for residential use - MVWP575GW 2018 or 2019. New on the market as of 2018. Built like the old long lasting Maytags.
SpeedQueen - TC5000WN 2019 - reintroduced their old long lasting popular style model.
After watching the ketchup test between the two on YouTube, IMO, the Maytag wins. Both built very well to last a long time without repairs. Both top loaders with agitators.
Edit:
Maytag warranty is 5 years. Covers parts and labor. Speed Queen is 3 years.
Below is the link to one of the latest videos comparing the two washers. June 7, 2019. This fellow repairs washers and dryers.
