In those 11 years we have moved twice and added 5 kids to our family. Both get used daily, often for several loads. I have had to disassemble the Maytag pump twice to extract a stuck sock (it usually passes them right on into the drain), and the dial markings rubbed off in the first 6 months so we use the by-guess system for starting it up. I just recently replaced the heater on the dryer ($40 and lots of sweat), and had to replace the blower impeller once ($25 and lots more sweat). No other service required on either, and they both should last another 11 years. Mel Haas , houxe!mel
