RENO, Nev. (AP) - A former Maytag repairman who claimed to do more work than he really did was found guilty in federal court Thursday of 36 counts of wire fraud for submitting fraudulent repair claims.

Darin Jerome French, the owner of an appliance store in Incline Village, had a contract with Maytag Corp. to fix appliances under warranty in 2006 and 2007, according to a federal indictment.

By using serial numbers he copied from washers and dryers at local retail outlets such as Lowe's and Fry's Electronics, he submitted the false claims for repairs and travel expenses to the company that once advertised the dependability of its appliances by describing the Maytag repairman as "the loneliest guy in town."
