Maytag Neptune FAV6800AWW TL

I purchased a Maytag Neptune TL top load in Jan 2005 after having a Maytag washer for 24 years with constant use with 3 children and a husband with a very dirty profession. I have been very disgusted with the attitude of the 4 repairmen that have been here to try to fix the problem.
I have been disappointed with the constant smell of the machine, you cannot leave your laundry room door open so not to offend guests. I have tried the tablets the company says is the cure and the smell is back the next day.
You do not dare leave a load in the washer when it is done because the clothes will smell like a sewer when you open the lid.
The bleach dispenser and fabric softener always has water in them. Therefore, mold and mildew grows around the receptacles which is disgusting.
Water will drip from the detergent dispenser after the cycle is complete therefore requiring more drying time. So much for energy efficiency!!
I have had clothes washed on the delicate cycle that come out with flecks of mold on them and then need to be washed again.
I also purchased a Maytag dryer that lasted for 24 years, and have replaced it with a Maytag drying center which I am very pleased with.
The Neptune washer has been a major disappointment from Maytag, I would like to purchase another washer that works if Maytag would give some of its faithful consumers a break.
