I was being facetious about the plug. My first Maytag was great. It was
my wife's habit of dumping cold water into hot cast iron pans sitting on
the glass top that did it in. It was almost as much to replace the top
as it was to replace the whole unit. I was impressed enough with the
first one, and the fridge, that I got the dishwasher. The second stove
and the dishwasher were major disappointments. If I had wanted a cheap
piece of crap I would have paid a lot less.
