Maytag 3000 series washer doesnt clean clothes

We bought the Maytag 3000 series front load washer and dryer in August 2009 when we moved into our new home and paid well over $2200 for the pair. Thought the front load would be great for cleaning and energy efficiency as the sales reps from Lowes recommended them at the time. Well was I wrong with the cleaning part. We have had the washer replaced already due to motherboard issues. It seems this washer just doesn't clean. If we put a load of whites in with bleach the hand towels come out dirty still and stained and smelly. My clothes and whites always came clean with a top load.I even try the sanitary option but don't think that works either. For some reason it adds time to the cycle so instead of a1hour and 50 minute cycle it's almost 2 and half hours. And the clothes come out really smelly.  I can't believe how disappointing it is to own these maytag appliances. I think I could get my clothes cleaner if I washed them by hand. And we use the affresh but I just don't think the washer washes clothes properly.

Real frustrating when I don't know what to do to get my clothes clean.
