Maytag is so cheap that they can't even install some circuit protection.

I bought a large capacity LG washer for only $150 and he delivered it. Only 2 years old from the delivery tag and he stored it for a year. He said he wished he got extended warrantee. I guess he put too much weight on it when it was stored. One of the buttons was stuck in. A little hit with a file in the plastic fixed it. Computer just kept waiting for button to be released.

The oven in my gas stove has a spark igniter, I don't know how common they are but they are out there. It has an annoying issue occasionally though where the spark igniter stops working. You can hear it sparking but the flame doesn't ignite and after a few tries it shuts down. I took it apart and cleaned the electrodes and that fixed it for a while then it started happening again. I discovered if I light it by poking a bbq lighter down one of the holes then it will work fine for a few months but I've never figured out exactly what's happening, must be getting dirty and sparking somewhere else not near enough to the gas jets. I found online reviews mentioning the same problem, most people seem to call out a repairman when that happens.
