Took the day off to wait for fridge repair...UPDATE!

14. Kudos for Maytag. I posted a reply to the OP but my Maytag W & D are workhorses.

My repair man said never replace them. They are about 35 years old. I have had the belt replaced on the dryer and some other minor repair on the washer. They are going strong. As long as there are parts available and I'm told that Maytag has most parts for these old machines, don't give up if you need a repair. Never had to have a repair on my GE refrig, and only a small repair of my Whirlpool stove. Guess I've been lucky. Call a reputable repair company about your Maytag to see if whatever is wrong can be fixed. Sure cheaper than buying a new one...such as they are.
