I remember that washer (Samsung built) for Maytag circa 2003/2004. Depending on how the stacking kit is attached you may be able to re-use it. If it's the type of stacking kit that (screws) into the top of the washer it may work. Also it depends on the material the top of the replacement washer is compose of. You could also google (universal stacking kit) for 24" washer and see what happens.

Whirlpool bought Maytag and I looked at the stack kits for Whirlpool compact washers and they are completely different than the Maytag stacking kit. The stacking kit for the Samsung compact washer is also different. Perhaps you could build a shelf for the dryer and slide a replacement washer underneath.

Argh... Thanks @minimalist183 and @Lawrence. What's concerning for me is that there doesn't seem to be a clear answer and the idea of getting a new appliance delivered and having it not work makes me pretty uncomfortable. I may just have to bite the bullet and buy a new pair of appliances and hope that company doesn't get bought or go out of business! Maybe Samsung is the way to go.

Here are some compact washer + dryer pairs:

• Miele WWH860WCS + MieleTWF160WP
• Samsung WW22N6850QX + Samsung DVE22N6850X
• Samsung WW22K6800AW + Samsung DV22K6800EW
• Bosch WAT28402UC + Bosch WTG86402UC
• Electrolux EFLS210TIW + Electrolux EFDE210TIW
• LG WM1388HW + LG DLEC888W

If I were you I would consider purchasing a new 24" washer/dryer stack. The Maytag dryer you own is about 16yrs old and could fail at anytime. There having been numerous 24" compact washer/dryer stacks introdcued to the market since 2004. I would only consider:

MIele $2400 - $4500

Bosch $1600 -$2000 (I like the 800 Series $2000)

Electrolux $1900

Whirlpool $1900

I'm not a fan of Samsung or LG products.

Did you ever find a solution for
Replacing Maytag MAH2400AWW?

I have the same problem now and just

spent $600.00 to repair the dryer and

now the washer is beyond repair.

Build a sturdy shelf, place the dryer on it and the washer in the space below. The dryer will be on the shelf, not directly atop the washer so no need for a stacking kit or matching the washer to the dryer brand.

@Eric Carroll: "Did you ever find a solution for Replacing Maytag MAH2400AWW?"

The Electrolux ELFW4222AW (also at Walmart) compact washer performed well in CR's tests and is much less expensive than any Miele washer. If it held a stacked dryer, you could do what @dadoes suggested above to support the dryer.
