Maytag Neptune Washer/Dryer combos (gas dryer) and recalls on them...?

Question:We purchased the above in 2000, and, based on (historical) success of the products from the Maytag Corp., we thought we'd made a good purchase.
In 2005, we were contacted and told that we were part of a class action lawsuit (if we chose to be involved) as Maytag had faulty (nearly airless) door parts/seals which caused a build up of mold, etc on the doors, seals, etc. No problem, got it fixed; reimbursed; merely inconvenienced (can live with that).
Now, machine won't perform usual wash cycle, nor will it spin out; makes sounds like tortured animal (whine, groan); and simply does not work! I look up recalls on Maytag Neptune W/D and I find other recalls from the Consumer Safety Commission, and a slew of other sources.
My questions are as follows:
Anyone else have this/these problems?
What'd you do about it/them?
Thanks

Answers:
Did this happen after the person worked on them?? If so contact the company and tell them what happened.
