The Maytag~ 4.5 cu. ft. capacity washer delivers the stain-fighting power that~~s built to handle tough loads. Use the Deep Fill washer for more water when you want it, while the Power~~~ agitator uses a 360-degree wash action to break up messes. Two Extra Rinse options help thoroughly clean clothes in this auto sensing washing machine.

We purchased this washer a week ago and once we got it home and hooked it up we were shocked how loud it was. I decided to start trying to figure out why it was so noisy, and I'm glad I did! To start with, the loud sound right when you start a load of wash is the door locking. Is it loud? Yup, sure is, but it has nothing to do with how the washer performs.
Secondly, when you install the drain hose it is naturally curved to set back against the base of the machine at the bottom, so when the machine starts to spin, the drain hose smacks the back of the machine, making an annoying racket. Luckily the drain hose is also sort of flexible and if you just ever so slightly bend it away from the machine it will cease making that sound.
And finally, the water lines that we purchased were garbage. They were the only set Best Buy had in stock so we purchased them in the name of "new" being better than re-using the old lines with a new machine. I read the reviews on the lines we bought and 4 people mentioned that they were causing water hammering in their home. A quick search showed that the lines we bought were not as wide internally as other lines and as such were causing water hammering when it hit the lines and it had to abruptly slow down. Water hammering is not only annoying, it is bad for your pipes. We bought new water lines made specifically to quick fill an HE washer and the problem (and the noise associated with it) stopped.
Our clothes are definitely getting cleaner than they were, the cycles are not insanely long and it does the job you need it to do, all at a pretty good price.

These stainless-steel washing machine fill hoses are ideal for connecting most washing machines to hot and cold water.

Water hammering.

I bought these because we purchased a new washer and I wanted to replace the water lines just to be safe. I purchased these because they were the only option at the store. We got our washer home and hooked it up with these lines and holy crow the noise was INSANE. I kept thinking it was the washer making so much noise, but my brother told me it was something called water hammering and it is in this situation likely caused by the water lines being to small in diameter internally, causing the water to hit the line and kmmediately be slowed down. He was absolutely correct. I searched both the big box home improvement stores and found a set of red and blue lines at HD that were a little pricey but claimed to let an HE machine fill quicker. Took them home and replaced these lines and the problem was solved. Also, the cold water line that we took off had rust on it after ONE week. These lines are not worth the water hammering and the rust. Do not waste your money on these lines.
