I have a true 'Maytag' story.
We were second owners of a small house built by GIs returning from WWII. It came with a Maytag washer and dryer from at least 40 years ago.
We put a load of clothes into the dryer and went away for Thanksgiving. When we came back to the house, the dryer was STILL RUNNING! The timer had failed in an 'on' state.
Once we recovered from the risk of having returned to a burned-down house, I was completely amazed at what the Maytag dryer survived and still ran. No way any modern appliance would last like that.
