Even an engineer has trouble understanding how his Mayta washer keeps running Mr. Thomas Fisher of Newport News, Virginia is baffled. As a professional engineer, he’s studied lots of machines before. In fact, he’s got a pretty good sense how everything from a car to a computer operates. But he can’t quite figure out how his Maytag washer keeps working. His family of five has had their machine for ten years now. In all those years of constant use, it’s only needed a couple of minor repairs. And that’s only half the story, because originally the Fishers got their washer from neighbors. And their family of five had used it for years before the Fishers even did a load. We can’t promise every Maytag washer will last this long, but we build them all to last longer than any other brand. So take it from an expert like Mr. Fisher. He’ll be the first to tell you a Maytag washer will keep running for years and years, just don’t ask him to explain it.
