Those SAV models are notorious for chewing up brake pads! Keep the Whirlpool, heave ho the others! |

Maytag got what it deserved-it sold junk and went broke.What a sad ending for what was such a proud name... Tom |

Mine was an SAV515DEWW. The brake slipped, the tub indexed a little, the suspension made some godawful noises, and it really wasn't that great a performer. It had a huge capacity, but it was a piece of trash. I replaced it with my 1980 Maytag A208 and suddenly, life got a lot better. The 1980 is quieter, does a better job washing, and is more reliable! How is this progress when a new machine is put to shame so consistently and thoroughally by a machine 25 years older? The attached youtube link is my Amanatag with slipping brakes. Get rid of your Amanatag and go vintage, life is better vintage! Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO volvoguy87's LINK |
