Maytag was founded in 1893 by Fredrick Maytag. The original name of the company was The Maytag Washing Machine Company, and it was one of the few businesses to actually turn a profit during the Great Depression. 
The company expanded and grew tremendously during the 1950’s and 1960’s. By 1960, the company had stopped producing ovens but turned to other water operated appliances, such as dishwashers and garbage disposals. By 2004, the company was suffering from a lack of consumer confidence due to their underperforming Amana line of clothes washers, which tended to grow mold that was not easily removed, and other problems. The company was acquired by Whirlpool in 2006. 
One of the company’s best-known ads was the “Lonely Repairman”, which showed a bored repairman, complaining that Maytag products were so reliable, that he had nothing to do. 
The company is frequently listed as one of the best appliance manufacturers, despite numerous complaints of new machines that don’t work and can’t be repaired.
Maytag is still one of the best-known appliance names in America. In 2015, the company reached $4.7 billion in annual revenue. Maytag also sells appliances under the names Amana, Admiral, Magic Chef, and Jenn-Air.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher in October 2022 and less than 1 year later it doesn’t work .. it just won’t start. I called Maytag for service since it should be under the 1 year warranty and I can’t get a service appointment until next Thursday, 9/7/23 (today’s date is 8/30/23)…Usually the product breaks down as soon as the warranty expires but I guess Maytag is so poorly made it didn’t even make it to 12 months. How very sad that a product such as Maytag/Whirlpool which has been around forever is such a disappointment.
I made the mistake of getting rid of my old washer/dryer and bought a new Maytag set and that was the worse mistake I have ever made, THEY ARE JUNK I have never been so unhappy with a new purchase in my life.

Good Afternoon,
I am hoping for a solution to my problem. After much thought and consideration, I find myself writing this hoping to find some resolve. A Maytag with agitator was not available, I considered the purchase of this simply because of it’s Name, cost and my budget. This washer will fill up and drain without ever thoroughly washing the top article of clothes that is on top. A few articles of clothes is the max it will wash. Please help me find a solution to my problem. mod#MVWX655DW2 SER#CX3700204. The purchase of another is just not an option. Please consider a replacement. Thank you for your time.
I was going to leave a complaint/suggestion. Never complain w/o a conflict resolution. After reading the prior posts I see it would be unproductive. Wish I had read the c/o on this page before buying my washer. I couldn’t wait to be the owner of a Maytag.
If your curious or care as to why I might be contacting you, feel free to follow up with me . Otherwise I will continue to believe Maytag is not concerned with Customer Satisfaction
Repectfully,
I agree with you 100%.
I also agree with you I have never been treated so poorly from a company. Never had a brand new machine and bought this in July 2019 and nothing but problems. Holes in clothes and now I have to pay 342.00 for suspension and a door lock the machine is not even that old. This is so not right and after first incidents with machine making holes in all our clothes had service man come out several times. Last time was told the machine had to be replaced and NO ONE from Home Depot or Maytag sent me a new machine. Now I just called back and under warranty none of this will be fixed let alone the machine violently knocking me around everytime I had to rush out there to the garage and press the button to cancel it. Even scratched, dented and rusted up the sides from hitting the new dryer 🙁 totally not happy with all of this and never have bought anything and customer service did not help me out. Now I see there is a lawsuit for this model from shaking crazy all around the place. I will be sure to get in touch with someone on this since Maytag does not care.
OMG!! I can. It believe all these people have the same problem as me. I stepped up and finally bought what I thought was the top of the line Maytag washing machine. What a joke. Had it 1 year and 9 months and it completely stopped. Had to fight to get someone to look at it. This was in September 2021; it is now January 2022 and it is still not fixed!!! I will NEVER buy anything from this manufacturer. No Maytag,Whirlpool or Amana products will ever be bought by me. I tell everyone I can to not buy them also. I don’t even have the words to express my frustration and dissatisfaction right now.
We purchased 2 Maytag washers (stupid us). The first lasted 4+ years and second 5.5 months. The “older” had the motor replaced, 2 actuators, and brain. The tech just came out today to see if he could figure out the problem with the New one. I guess it needs a new brain and new actuator. So, just for fun, we had him take a look at the “older” one. It needs a new brain and a new pump. Maytag doesn’t give a rip.
Ours is a little over a year and half/. It will cost over 700.00 to fix a 1,000 washer..my old 24 year old one is still working..don’t remember the name of it…wish I had kept it and NEVER BOUGHT A MAYTAG..We were told it is not a problem with the washers. HA!!! Everyone has the same problem with not filling up all the way, the motherboards are dying and everything else has gone wrong with it. I could see if there was 12 people using it and there are only 2!! WTH!!
Wow. My Maytag washer was delivered March 12, 2022. One month later it stopped working. Dan Marc their appliance people came to say we needed parts. How could you need parts on a one month old washing machine!!! Obviously not tested before it was sold!!! Supposedly the parts are in stock but three weeks later still waiting. I’ve emailed and called to complain and now I will send a letter to Mark Bitzer the CEO let’s see what happens!!!
Make copies for your records…never send the original…good luck Ours was a year and a couple of months for 2 people using it.
OMG…what a nightmare this has been. I’m going to use every available social media platform available so that no one else has to go through this. I bought a Maytag and the washer isn’t working. I reached out to Maytag only to be told oh…that’s not covered under the limited warranty. I then escalated that to Allan the manager that FINALLY took my call. He attempted to make it right but called back saying the repairman are booked out until September…it’s August 2nd! I read through the comments section…they obviously don’t stand behind their product. Oh and when I asked Allan for his direct report he gave his name but said he doesn’t accept customer calls. I now know why…he’d be on the phone all day long with very angry customers. I won’t hold my breath for the customer escalation team to call me back in 1 day. SO THAT’S MY MAYTAG CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE!!!!!! I WOULDN’T RECCOMEND IT!!!! DON’T BUY A MAYTAG!!!! On to every social media platform out there to spread the word and hopefully save someone else the aggravation! Oh and I looked the CEO…they give his name but no way to contact him. Bet he doesn’t take calls eother.
Yeah Kara, we purchaesd a Maytag dishwasher approx., 2 years ago, expensive for us as I and my husband are disabled. We saved for quite awhile to purchase it. The bearings are shot, it would cost more to fix than to buy a new one. What apiece of junk. I contacted them to no avail, they could care less. The only thing that we are able to do is that my husband has a platform where he speaks to thousands of people a year and now he always has a lot to say about the junk that Maytag sells and so many are agreeing with him. They used to be a stand up company – no more. Hope they go out of business.
We are having a similar experience with our Maytag washer. It has been broken since August, it is under warranty; however, the service repair person has been out 6 times since 8/17 and it has not been fixed. Maytag refuses to determine it unrepairable and replace my washer. I’ve called Maytag and they refuse to help. I have all Maytag appliances currently. We will never buy another Maytag appliance and will replace what we do have. They do not care about customer satisfaction.
Purchased a Maytag gas range and refrigerator in January 2021 and am extremely disappointed in the functionality of both. The oven isn’t calibrated correctly even after a service call and the refrigerator motor/compressor broke and stopped cooling the food in the refrigerator even though the freezer kept working, but that seems to be dying as I write this. Repairman came last week and said they had the part and would come Wednesday, it’s Friday and now I got a text that the part is on back order. WTF?! Not acceptable especially in the middle of summer. Shabby products from what was once a much reputable company. I won’t be buying Maytag products in he future after spending a couple grand on these shabby products.
We purchased a washer and dryer from Mannys in Westfield. After 2 years my washer wasnt working. I contacted Mannys to explain the issue. We had to pay for them to come out. The interface panel went. Nobody had a reason why this would happen, nor would Mannys replace it. I had to pay over 400.00 for the piece and labor. I then contacted Maytag Corporate offices. I was basically told that things happen and would not discuss any kind of reimbursement, new washer or an extended warranty. Shame on Maytag for selling me a washer that only had 2 years of a life. The repairs were half of the cost of the dryer. I will never purchase another Maytag or recommend a Maytag to anyone. Be wary for the front panels on these washers. The repair man stated to my husband and I that he never saw this before. So we were basically sold a lemon washer.
Could you tell me which model? I’ve had nothing but issues with my washer the control mother board, door lock, drum, I got the highest model they have. I’ve had nothing but bad customer service.
Wow, I can’t believe these people are still in business after reading all the reviews. I have a Maytag fridge bought 2 1/2 years ago and the ice maker is already broken. Have to pay $131 to buy the replacement part plus shipping of course!! My Maytag washer bought at the same time, is growing mold inside the housing of the detergent dispenser. Very difficult to reach to clean. When I wrote to them for a solution I was told to schedule a time for a technician to come out and if he finds this is not covered under warranty there will be a minimal charge!!!??? How can mold growing in the machine be an problem that could or could not be a warranty issue????? It should not happen at all and if it does it should be fixed free of charge. I will not touch Maytag or Whirlpool products ever again!!! Unfortunately these lessons are always very expensive.
Omg I as well have mold Inside the detergent dispenser. Ive tried everything possible to clean it but it keeps coming back.
07/13/20 About 2014 I bought a Maytag stove after about a year my wife went to cut a top eye on right when she turned the switch it sounded like a gun went off I ran in the kitchen she said she seen a blue like flame come out of the switch.I called Maytag they sent there repair person to the house he replaced the switch then a few months later she went to turn a eye on I was in the next room I heard another gunshot sound I ran into the kitchen in she was holding her right arm another switch blowup in shocked her pretty bad I called Maytag again told them another switch blowed up in my wife got shocked they said they were sorry to her that so they sent there repair person out again this time he replaced all the switches this was done in 2016 Then on July 1920 this year I went to cut a eye on in the switch blowup on me I got shocked in my left arm in neck went numb I called Maytag told them what had happened to me they said they were sorry to here that they would send one of there repair people out to look at it after over a week with out a stove repair person came out said I had to burned up switches he call Maytag then came back in told me Maytag would pay for the visit but not the repair I could not believe it this is definitely a defect in a dangerous one Maytag should of replaced the stove after the second time a switch blowup for consumers that use Maytag stove please be careful getting shocked is painful I’m thinking seriously in calling a consumer investegating news reporter.
Could someone please republish this with CORRECT GRAMMAR AND SPELLING?
Our Maytag air conditioners coil has broke. It is July 100 degree Temps. We are 75 and 80. Was told today take “4 to 6 Weeks” to get this part to us in California from St. Louis?!!!??? WHY??!! Its been a week just to get it authorized!! We live in California. Maytag moved all their stores/distributors out of here after our purchase. It is pure Hell to get anything done or authorized on it. I am sick to my stomach from last week of heat. You are Really telling me its Going To Take 4 to 6 weeks to get this Coil? Needs boards but can get those. I was swayed by your warantee but Now it has me over a barrel waiting for an Important part in the middle of summer. Will never purchase Anything Maytag Again! Especially an Air Conditioner!!
I have a Maytag dishwasher , had it for about 5 years, and at time our smell and dishes taste like a**, finally notice that on the jet arm on top and bottom of dish washer are growing pond slime inside the pressed metal water jets ( gross). Very poor design, my wife and I are immuno- compromised, god knows what that is growing, I need to know your legal department phone number.
I bought your Maytag washing machine. It is total garbage. 3 years old the plastic gear that agitates sheared off. I waited 3 weeks for a replacement part. Got it fixed lasted 3 months now it is sheared again. Very disappointed in the quality of lack thereof on this machine. Costs more to repair a second time than just buying a new machine which I guarantee won’t be a Maytag
Mine was 6 weeks old. Still waiting for the repair 6 weeks later.

Hello, My name is .Fred Heiser and I live at XXX Broughton Road in Bethel Park PA 15102. I want to let all of you know how happy my family and I have been with Matag Products. I am 74 years old and my parents before me swore by Mataq Products (my mothers wringer washer). My question is my wife and I are planning to redo our kitchen and we want to do it with all Matag products. We have shopped at Home Depot and Lowes looking at their bundle packages. We are happy with most of it but sad they are not interchangeable. Example: we want to buy your refrigerator, dish washer, microwave, double oven and gas cook top. What can we do to get the best bang for our dollar without having to purchase them individually at a higher cost. We are not poor but we are on a fixed retirement income. Please give me your thoughts. Thank you for your time.
After Purchasing a Maytag ?French door refrigerator a few years ago we will not purchase another product by Maytag/ ?whirlpool due to the cheap plastic interior which we have replaced multiple times at considerable expense. At this time the crisper drawers and the frame, the rail/the deli tray cover and the butter compartment t cover are all broken and look junky . Attempts to
get these replaced by Maytag ?or the extended warranty have resulted in horrible customer service and an attitude that ‘you own it’ from
Maytag ?. Hope #Samsung #LG or Kitchen Aide see these because we will be looking at their products for our residence and all our rental properties . Take note Maytag? uses substandard plastic in their compartment interior.
Good afternoon- My name is Felix Galarza Jr. a member of the business development team at Crown Roll Leaf, Inc. in Paterson, New Jersey. In short, we are a manufacturer of decorated film to include metalize, pigment, holographic patterns and high end security holograms. But, most important we work very closely with the credit card manufacturer and have developed what we call “Diamond Coat” film to protect the wear and tear of credit card therefore giving it longevity and years of use. I believe our Diamond Coat (DC) transparent film can be of use in the appliance industry and in fact we can print the DC film to look like brush silver to give it the stainless steel affect. I would like to speak to your company regarding having our product tested in the near future. I want to thank you in advance for your time and I look forward to hearing from your company soon.
TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN:
My name is listed above. I am 83 years old, very well educated, been very
successful in my life’s journey and now my wife and i need help with our
MAYTAG DISHWASHER SERIAL # F42 0o2 130 purchased 4 1/2 years ago.
I have wasted an entire afternoon (9/16/2019) calling multiple times @ 1-269-923-5000) AND OTHER MAYTAG NUMBERS and each time being
put on hold for varying minutes (7,12-9-13 etc). Never did someone pick up my waiting phone but as time expired on one call it was extended to the next call with same “STUPID RESULTS”. I would love to be invited to be a witness on some National T.V. TALK SHOW SO THAT I COULD EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM TO THE WORLD IN A POLITE, PROFESSIONAL MANNER, AND WITHOUT USING ANY KIND OF PROFANE WORDS FOR ALL TO LISTEN
TO THE RIDICULOUS TREATMENT I HAVE BEEN PUT THROUGH.
I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY THAT ANY CORPORATE EMPLOYEE OF
MAYTAG WILL SHOW ME COMMON COURTESY AND CONTACT ME.
MY CELL NUMBER IS 601-291-XXXX (24/7) MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS SHOWN ABOVE.
I AM NOT GOING TO ATTEMPT TO HOLD MY BREATH WHILE WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM ANY MAYTAG CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE.
ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT MAYTAG’S POLICY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT

I am so upset !!!! bought my first new appliance last month , a maytag washer originally cost 1200.00 , lowes had a special gong on 40% off so it was 799.00 ,I was able to get a Lowes credit card and between all that and the fact that the machine had a 10 yr guarantee on drum and motor I thought it must be a good machine … NOT …. within a week I was having to re adjust clothes , the wobble kept getting worse till finally would not spin cloths at all , called lowe’s repair service they sent someone out he we pulled apart and said the gear was not tightened and like a lug nut on tire rim wobble the bigger and bigger , I do not want a fixed machine I could have got a refurbished washer for couple hundred dollars … I WANT A NEW WASHER preferably NOT A MAYTAG ,and to put icing on cake the repair guy says the dum is not available !!! please contact me back , let me know how to get my money back
To whom it may concern:
As a baby boomer, I do not believe in voicing my opinion on social media. I believe in letting people know when I have received superior service or when a product performs exceptionally. In October 2018, our “he” washer failed, so we purchased a Maytag washer and dryer set from a local vendor. We chose this set because it is made in America and throughout the years, we remembered the Maytag commercials about the dependability of the Maytag products. Additionally, the price was affordable. I absolutely DESPISE this washer!
1.) No matter what setting I put it on, the whites do NOT come out white/clean. This was never an issue with the LG and we use the same products now that we have used for years. We also have a water softener.
2.) It does not dispense enough water. Period.
3.) No matter what setting I put it on, a load of bedding sheets ALWAYS spins off balance so it requires constant babysitting.
My husband and I went back to the local vendor that we purchased this set from and made them aware of our dissatisfaction but because it was past the 30-day return (December 2018, missed it by two weeks) we were essentially told that there is nothing that they could do.
They attempted to sell us a maintenance agreement instead. I worked in the service industry for nearly 30 years and I know that maintenance contracts on new equipment generate a lot of revenue for the dealer; that is where the money is. New equipment (unless it is a lemon) does not generally fail and require service for the first two or three years. Yes, sometimes there are extenuating circumstances. There are only two people in our household, so it does not get that much usage for it to be a concern.
I keep hoping that this garbage washer will fail so that I can replace it with something that performs the way that we want and need it to. I will very likely replace it with another LG front loading washer and never buy another Maytag product.
I do not expect anything from you. I just want you to know how extremely dissatisfied I am with this product. Please forward my letter to Marc Bitzer, CEO of Maytag.
I purchased a Maytag Microwave Oven Model #MMV1174F2-0 Serial #TR70715627 in October of 2017 and had it installed after my kitchen remodel, in March 2018. In November of 2018, the microwave only used 8 months, and in a vacation home, so very few times, had started acting up. The light would blink and door open light would come on when the door was closed. I thought the bulb was bad because the microwave would eventually work, well all of a sudden, it’s shuts down completely! I looked up reviews on this model and low and behold many people had the same exact thing happen to them, same model. I spoke with a customer service rep then a manager and both said there is nothing they could do. That I could have dropped the microwave. No, it was not dropped. With me any many others experiencing the same problem, there’s obviously an issue with this microwave. Please make this right. Thank you in advance for your time spent on this matter.
My Maytag washer/dryer is 3 yrs old, stopped working mid wash cycle..Repairman diagnosed as computer, contacted Maytag and of course is not covered under warranty. This was not an inexpensive purchase! As I am the only one using machine, it gets limited use not as if used by “family” laundry. As a retired senior living on a fixed income I am now faced with an expensive computer replacement in the machine.Very disappointed in the quality of this product; reason or purchasing Maytag was due to “supposedly” good reputation and warranty.
I purchase my Maytag washer in November 2016 and in May of 2017 the plastic agiatator broke and some one came out to fix and now this month the same piece broke and when I call to get it fix I was told it’s out of warranty and I will have to pay for the service call and part I very dissatisfied with Maytag product this is poorly made and I will like it fix or another washer this Maytag is poorly made
Maytag,
Here’s a hearty, quadruple, FU!
I HATE my Maytag dryer. It’s a complete POS. Be glad you’re not in driving distance because this POS would be on your front door.
I pledge to NEVER buy another Maytag as long as I live.
Skip the phony, insincere, corporate pleasantries. Unless you’re giving me a new, replacement dryer, I don’t want to hear from you. Products like my dryer are exhibit A that you’re a-holes.
Purchased a Maytag VMAX, Agitator Top Load washer, Mdl: MVWC565F less than 2 years ago and have diagnosed the following problem: Gearcase ( Transmission) failed, leaked gearcase oil on to our floor and soaked the belt on the splotch drive causing belt to slip off.
$ 79.95 to have service diagnose cost to fix $373.44 for total cost of $453.39
We paid $445.62 tp purchase this machine!
You really need to make this right. I know of two other customers who have had the same exact same problem. I am sure you are aware of the probable MTBF for this problem ahead of time. This is not an ordinary warranty issue.
Please contact me. This is a real disappointment and I am sure you are already aware of this problem and that it has happened multiple times before.
I just want to say that I have had this Hi Efficiency washer for one year now. And I dislike it as much or more than when I first used it!!! I like to fill the tub then add soap then let it agitate for a minute or two then add my clothes. This is not possible with this washer. What I mainly don’t like is that I can’t restart it If I discover something I forgot to put in the washer, I can’t add the item and restart the agitation for an additional few minutes.
The straw that just broke the camel’s back was, I was washing some outdoor cushion covers and after they agitated for a while, (BTW I opened the lid and held the button that allows the washer to continue its cycle and two corners of the cover never went under the water). So I decided to open the lid and allow the cushion covers to soak. Next thing I know the water is draining out. I had to wait until that was done before I could begin again.
Also I don’t like the fact that the agitation is slow. Not heavy duty when I want it to be.
I can’t do a short cycle. Every load takes an hour.
Of course I don’t expect a refund, however, that would be nice, but I want you to know this is not satisfactory and maybe you will consider changing the design.
Thank you
Marcia
Purchased Maytag MVWB835DW3 top loading He washer about 6 weeks ago. From the beginning, it left a white residue on my dark clothes. Also purchased a 3 year extended warranty from Maytag. I talked to the retailer and a Maytag approved service rep and nobody could explain what the problem was. Finally I was convinced to initiate a service call from Maytag, with the promise that I wouldn’t be billed as long as I didn’t cause the problem. The service tech did extensive testing and concluded that there was something wrong with the machine. He contacted a Maytag tech and was told that the drum needed to be replaced. A few days later the service company called me back and told me that Maytag said the problem wasn’t with the machine and that I had to pay for a $95 service call. The following day I called Maytag Consumer Relations, and after 90 minutes of conversation, was curtly told that Maytag would not be wiling to provide any help.
Bottom line is that I believe there is a design problem with this line of machines, and Maytag seems to be reluctant to own up to it. (By the way, I have a PhD degree in Systems Engineering.)
I brought a brand-new Maytag washer from Lowes on May 15 and washing a normal load of kids close I opened the lid and the whole agitator had broken off. this is very upsetting as looking at this part and the way it is done this is cheaply made. they are sending someone out to repair it but given that this part is all plastic I do not see how I will not continuously have this problem. I know it is outside of the 30 days but I would like a full refund so that I could purchase another brand as this is my first and last experience with Maytag. I can’t believe this was made so cheaply. No metal or anything to support this important part. I feel like is a bed sheet or something got around it, it would snap again.
model number MVWC416FW1
serial number C80133593
The reason I purchased a Maytag Commercial Technology was because it claimed to be designed, engineered and assembled in the U.S.A.
However, the washing machine does not add enough water to clean cloths. Only a trace amount. It seems to be designed in such a way that people are incapable of thinking how much water is needed for themselves that a preprogrammed solution is required and unconditionally implemented. Furthermore, their servo locking lid inhibits the consumer from adding more water. Once that is broken the washing machine is completely inoperable thereby continuing their legacy of mold in the washing machine.
Purchased 4 appliances in June of 2016 as my wife wanted all stainless steel. Dishwasher is beyond disappointing as it never cleaned like my 20 year old non-Maytag one. Top rack never gets clean. Five service calls b4 it was diagnosed with a clogged water line. The real problem is rotating arm below top rack isn’t spinning thusly not enough water gets 2 top rack & consequently glasses, bowls & cups only marginally clean. Will never ever buy another Maytag appliance as long as I live !!!
I purchased a Maytag combination less than a year ago, it is supposed to carry a 10 year warranty but I received a notice today that my warranty needs to be renewed. The letter has an “invoice # 9372032850” an “invitation # 9372-03-2850” and an “Authentication Code #0127-59-3325” and a renew by date of “07/25/2850” so, what happened to the 10 year warranty??
I would call in but due to my severe hearing loss I cannot use a phone because I find I often cannot understand some words and this could lead to confusion. Contact me by email only! I am expecting some kind of explanation as to why I must renew a 1yr. warranty contract since the washer & dryer are supposed to be under an initial ten (10) year warranty!

DJH!
I bought a Maytag product for the FIRST time and I am very disappointed…The wahing machine was shipped to my county by Home Depot…we washed three loads and then the machine stopped. The technician had removed the faulty piece and says it is defective. No wonder it was on sale…now I have a new machine for two months that does not work…I need a refund or the piece replaced without costing more money please called the Maytag CS line ..was kept on hold and was hung up on…Very bad Customer Service and I would never recommend any products form Maytag or its associates. I will call the Better Business Bureau to make a complaint.
I have used Maytag for the past 50 years and have been really satisfied, my last one lasted 15 years and the only thing I had done was the belt replaced on the dryer. The washer finally went so I decided to buy a front loader, big mistake, they don’t wash as well as a top loader with an agitator. This one doesn’t even rinse well and I did everything that they said in the manual. Maytag just doesn’t make them like they use too.
I expect a good product, just like when I go to work they expect me to do a good job. I DO NOT consider buying a washer for a two person household who does laundry ONCE a week, our jobs are not dirty, they are very clean so we have little laundry- buying a washer and it lasts two years that is about 102 regular, loads and it is not working. When I complain how little it lasted –they say should have got extended warranty- maybe we should have but that’s more money for senior to pay out. SO now we have to save for another one IT WONT BE MAYTAG product because two years is not good enough for a major appliance.
I bought a maytag dishwasher 11/06/17 it was delivered on 11/11/17 worst mistake it has not work since I bought it. And this is 12/13/17 called customer serves that was a joke. Now I have been washing dishes by hand. I will never buy a product from maytag. I had a GE dishwasher for 15yrs. Never had any problems. I think maytag is a rip off. Before you buy a maytag think twice. They have very poor business, it a shame they went down hill. I think they need to replace the corporate people, someone that can run the business for the company and the customers. We never it a replay to are complaint, I wonder if they even read them. Poor business.
I have been a long time satisfied customer of Maytag products until my recent purchase.
I purchased a Maytag top load Washer. Terrible product. It doesn’t get the clothes clean,
but worst is the clothes come out ripped. There is no delicate setting, but I wash only
with cold water. The machine has ruin expensive night gowns and sheets.
I had a Maytag washer prior which worked great until it just was to old. I have had a
Maytag Tech. guy and they say its the sensor, but can’t be fixed. Its a defective product.
Please do a Recall, or refund all the money I have lost.
I purchased a maytag maxima washer and dryer four years ago. Last week noticed the dryer drum would not turn and there was a hole tore into the side of the dryer. Had the repairman come out and he said the weld on the seam of the drum was bad causing it to separate at the seam. He further stated this was not a wear and tear issue but a faulty weld when manufactured. The price for repair was almost as much as a new dryer. Looked into purchasing a new dryer however maytag no longer makes it in red so I could not buy one that matches the dryer. Since the repairman said this was a bad weld at the seam I contacted maytag to see if there is anything they could do and they stated since there was no recall for the item there was nothing they could do. I simply wanted maytag to provide me with a new drum since it was a bad weld at the seam and they wouldn’t even do that. Because of this I have to purchase a new washer and dryer in order to have a matching set. Needless to say if maytag does not correct this issue I will never purchase a maytag or whirlpool appliance ever again.
I am extremely alarmed at the poor quality of the washer I purchased recently. I had a Maytag in the past but it gave out after 10+ years. Worked perfectly and quietly until then which is why I decided to stay with Maytag. I was going to buy another basic model but upgraded at the last minute without checking reviews…bad decision as I see there are many who have complained about this model. My washer is the loudest I’ve ever had to the point that it can’t ever be on if I have visitors; it is disruptive. And, it doesn’t consistently spin clothes as much as it should and the water level regulator doesn’t always get it right. . The number I found on it is W10877641. It’s too late for me to return it as there were too many other family things happening when I had to make the purchase in haste. Bottom line: I want you to know I believe your product is inferior and of very poor quality and I’ll add my name to the many who have had problems with you. I tried to include a pic but your site won’t accept any format.

I agree 100% with everythng Barb Quatarro my wife complains all the time about wanting a machine with an agitator as clothes are “Not clean.”
Maytag washer even the best are not worth the money, mine hs broken down 3 times in 1year and 2 months. When I called Maytag they brushed me off. They said I have a extended warranty with Lowes not theirs, Lowes did not tell me Maytag has an extended warrenty. The woman at Maytag complaint dept. said “Well that is general knowledge.” it may be general knowledge but not my knowledge. they won’t give me a new machine it is their company policy to honor Lowes not the person who paid for the macine. They stink!
They don’t care the machine breaks 3 times in ONLY 1 year 2mos. When you call to complain they are like politicians they speak from bothn sides of their mout.
filled out comment on June 23 2017 about washer/dryer I purchased in May 2017. ABSOLUTELY DISSATISFIED WITH WASHER MODEL BRAVOS. Does not clean to my satisfaction. Can not return to Home Depot so reaching out to you replace with different model with agitator. Having to rewash clothes and am using more water and electric. I am a widow on fixed income and extra money for water and electric not acceptable. You could Goodwill Policy and exchange HE Bravos washer for different model with agitator.
Waiting for your response. Thanks
We have been a Maytag washer & dryer owner for the past 40 years. Our current models are close to 20 years old and the washer needed new internal rubber boots and seals which would cost $300 in parts alone to replace. So we decided to purchase new units this past May during the big washer dryer sales event to get the best price we could as we are retired and on a fixed income. Bought the 5500 series as 2 of the 3 dealers said it was the best of the bunch and also rated very high in Consumer Reports. Bought and paid for the units on 5/31/17 and Home Depot still cannot give us a delivery date. Now HD is telling us that when they check with the company (Whirlpool) they cannot give them a delivery date. All three stores that we shopped at have indicated the same scenario, quoting very long delivery dates and out of stock on that series from Maytag. They are also indicating that they are having very similar issues with Whirlpool as well. Someone needs to pass this on to your three top executives, CEO Learmonth, CFO Moore and COO Klyn to see if someone can get the proper answers to give your loyal customers. Bets McKnight
purchased HE washer and dryer Bravos model May 7,2017. Thought I would update my old MAYTAG washer/dryer. Well what a mistake to try this washer without agitator. I have been having to rewash clothes to get them clean. This machine was suppose to be efficient for water and soap. NOT HAPPENING! I would like you to exchange this washer and get me the model with the agitator. Home Depot said I could not return there so I am reaching out to you the mfg. I am a widow and living on fixed income and can’t afford to spend more money on water and electric to wash clothes. Please lets handle this. Thanks
We bought our Maytag dishwasher: Model#MDB8959SBB3 on March 30, 2017. As of June 15, 2017, when the buttons are turned on for normal, dry, and start, the machine turns on, drains, and then stops cold. A repair man came out today and said that we need a new motor. The dishwasher has two. The cost will be $185 plus $75 for labor, plus the $68.50 for a house call. I contacted Maytag at their 1-800 number and was told I had 3 options: have another repairman come out, replace the motor, which would have a one year warranty for $430. Ouch. The second option was to have their repair man come out, and still pay for the motor and labor (not to mention the cost of the repair man’s initial visit). No help from Maytag. And the third option was that they might pay $200-300 for a new machine. My husband and I have been married for 49 years. We have moved with the USAF 40 times. In all our experience with buying dishwashers, NEVER has one broken. We had one for 13 years and it was still running when we moved. It is unacceptable to have a major appliance with a good name and reputation go caput in 3 years. This was a good machine up until several days ago. I don’t want to trash it and get another one. The cheapest option is to go with my repair man and buy a new motor. But I am sincerely saddened to see the reviews that Maytag dishwashers have gotten, and that I had never read before buying our dishwasher. Maytag was always a gold standard. We paid $625 with our military discount for this machine. I have contacted Lowe’s with my complaint and to warn other customers before buying Maytag, Kitchenaid, or Whirlpool. I am now worried about the electronics which have received a very bad press. I hope that a new motor fixes the problem…..
We purchase a maytag washrrnis August it was our third and last we will ever purchase we have called for help three times they have come out twice and said we need to take machine apart after every load of laundry by that we must take out soap dispenser and dry it and leave it out until next use and do same every time now we know about door
Having to leave it open for mold but to know take dispenser our dry it and let it stay out so mold will not acXXXXulate is crazy we where never told this it we would not have purchased it. I have asthma
And the mold really has been giving me attacks the mold in lines is bad it seems no one cares they tell us u will hear from us and then nothing really wrong
terrible treatment for customers who have always purchased maytag but no more please we need help with getting it replaced or fixed ! Never buy Maytag !
