First my ice maker stopped delivering ice. I had a service person out who did a nearly impossible task of splicing the wiring harness to get it working again. Shortly thereafter, the unit stopped making ice. The second service person was unable to fix this broken wire on the harness. Both techs stated that this is a known design flaw and the second tech...

Maytag Maytag top fill washing machine

My machine was delivered 8-23-23, it was used for 4-5 loads and it locked and we could not open. We called Home Depot they won’t do anything. Maytag says they warranty parts only. We call and7 days later a repair man comes in and says a weight harness needs to be ordered. Now they order the part and can’t come to replace it for another 10 days. I call Maytag and no one is helpful, I tell them I received a lemon and the lady says “ there is no lemon law on appliances”. This is ridiculous, she must have used this line numerous times. Must be in the Maytag play book for customer service responses. I will never buy Maytag/ whirlpool ever again and I will make sure I tell everyone not to buy this brand ever! A brand new washer and it’s garbage.

Desired outcome: Give me a new working machine!!!!

Maytag Refrigerator Model MSS26C6MFZ00

Hello Maytag. After owning an entire suite of appliances made by Whirlpool since 1992, we finally decided to buy new appliances simply for an update to the look as the previous appliances were still going strong as of 2018. We went with Maytag because we wanted to buy a product made in the USA.

Our refrigerator has now suddenly stopped making ice twice. As you well know, you have a design flaw in this model which causes the freezer door's normal operation to sever the wires that power the in-door ice maker. The internet and social media is rife with complaints about this same issue. The Maytag solution is to replace the door at a cost which basically exceeds the cost of a new refrigerator. I didn't realize that my new refrigerator was a disposable appliance!

Has a patch or other repair been established by Maytag to address this design flaw? I've already had the wires "re-attached" once before and am once again having the same issue.

Desired outcome: Replacement door without design flaw or other permanent fix to the design flaw to be provided by Maytag.

Maytag Maytag Washer Model MVW7230HW0

I purchased the washer in spring of 2021, it was delivered in June 2021. I don't feel like a control panel should go out within just a few years. I had local repairman come look ($120 service fee) and then ordered mother board and control panel. He replaced the control panel $338 (parts and labor). He did a test cycle. Then I was able to run one load of clothes and got the same error E2F2. I called the appliance store I purchased from and they said they could sell me a new one! I have $460 invested in it now. The mother board can be replaced for $366 plus labor. No thank you. I am so upset with Maytag.

I guess I am going to have to buy a new washer. 2 things, I am not buying Maytag ever again and I will not purchase for King Great Buy Plus in Evansville, Indiana ever again.

Desired outcome: Would just like Maytag to repair/replace this machine. There is no way a machine should go out in 2 years!Obviously I didn't buy the extended warranty but a control panel should be covered for longer than one year.

Maytag Model MVWC656FW1 serial number C935 42351

We purchased this washer on 10/29/2019 at Best Buy along with a MayTag dryer. Best Buy Geek Squad appliance service said the drive motor is leaking but has a 10 year warranty and we should contact MayTag. What are the steps I need to take for the replacement part or a new machine?This not a good product if it last less than 4 years. I have sent you three requests and have not received any responses.

Maytag Bought Maytag Washer Model MVWB865GC0 on December 20, 2019

Less than a year after purchasing my new Maytag washer on September 30, 2020, my washer lid had to be replaced due to a crack in the plastic near the open and close right hinge of the lid. The exact same crack happened in the exact same place in August 2021 and the lid had to replaced again. The exact same thing happened yet again in October 2022. I called to make a report and see about getting it replaced, but it was just outside of the one year parts warranty and I could not spend nearly $400 to replace a lid for a new washer that was less than three years old that I had paid $700 for and had already had the same issue two times prior. Maytag would not help me. This is obviously a faulty product quality issue. I was told by the last technician that was replacing my lid for the second time that he has seen this same thing numerous times with this washer. I should not have to replace a lid every year on a brand new washer. It is the same issue each time. There are two hinges encased in plastic that are responsible to open and close a soft close lid that is heavy glass. It is a bad design that is obvious to any normal person. And now there are cracks on both the left and right side of the lid near the hinges. I have them held by duct tape, but it is becoming a problem. I am very unhappy with this result. I had a Maytag washer and dryer prior to this set, that lasted 17 years. This is why I chose to stay with Maytag. Something should be done about this product design. I know I am not the only consumer that has this problem and it is a product quality issue that is of no fault by me, the consumer.

Desired outcome: My desired outcome would be that Maytag recognizes my statement above and replaces my lid as a lemon at no cost to me. I would even pay for the labor if the part would be covered for me at no cost. Thank you. Laurie Pearce [protected]

Thanks for your response, but I do not believe for one minute that it is not a common problem. A washer lid should not crack at the hinges every year in the exact same way on a brand new washer[any washer should not do that]. It is clearly a faulty design. I purchased from a local family owned dealer, and no, there is no additional warranty coverage. Maytag wanted me to purchase an extended warranty to cover the lid which would cost me $400 a year, the same cost to replace the lid outright. By the way, I paid $700 for the entire washing machine. What would resolve the problem for me as a consumer who bought a brand new washer that has a lemon lid/faulty design, that has been replaced twice in the first three years and now needs replacing again, is for Maytag to recognize and take responsibility for a product issue that is no fault of the consumer and replace my washer lid. I even agreed to pay the labor[which I should not have to do], and they send me the new lid at their cost. That is more than reasonable. I should not have to pay anything. I was a Maytag customer for 17 years prior to this purchase and this has left a very bad taste for me about Maytag.

Maytag Defective idler pulley for maytag front load dryer w10837240

Installed new dryer in April 2019. Three and a half years later, dryer started to screech when dryer was turned on and drum was rotating. Called Maytag and found out that Maytag only covers the cost of certain items that need to be replaced after one year. Labor and the service call are not covered with the 10 year limited warranty. We called the repair company that Maytag uses. Once the repairman knew that the dryer was screeching, he immediately said the problem was the idler pulley needed to be replaced. I since learned this is a common problem with this model of dryer. Please reimburse me for the cost of the labor and service call, in addition to the idler pulley. I found out Maytag does not reimburse for the idle pulley. If this is a common problem, the item should be recalled. I should not have to pay to replace and install a new idle pulley for $440 after only 3-1/2 years of ownership. Since this is a common repair issue, recall the item and stop charging your customers for Maytag’s defective product.

Desired outcome: Reimburse for repair.

I purchased this Maytag clothes, washer a few weeks ago from Home Depot as it was recommended by some on line and I have always been a fan of Maytag. Well, never again! The machine did not work from day one, I literally could not get it to start at all. Foolishly, I did not read that Home Depot would not take back such an appliance if the fault was not...

Maytag New Gas Dryer

ENTIRELY TOO RESTRICTIVE. I had to buy a new washer/dryer set and I thought I'd buy Maytag as I thought President Trump worked with the manufacturing leaders and we'd still have choices.

BOY was I wrong. I purchased a model that didn't require the use of the internet or an app. Features are limited

YOU'VE ALSO LIMITED MY CHARACTER COUNT. BAD NEWS!

Desired outcome: Give consumers FULL CHOICE about features and how they choose to wash/dry their clothes. STOP REQUIRING AN APP TO GET FULL FEATURES. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Maytag Maytag Bravos XL Washing Machine

Model Number - mvwb835dw4

Serial Number - c90473413

My washing machine is only 4 years old and the lip is breaking on the left side. After reading lots complaints about this washing machine it seems so many people have had the same issue as I am having. Not only that when they have replaced the lid not even a year later it broke again in the same place. I called about this and I was told they have no recalls on my machine. I just don't understand if so many people are having the same issue why are they not doing anything about it? I never had issues in the past with Maytag, but after this experience Maytag isn't like it use to be and that is really sad! I am at work so not able to add any pictures, but if needed I have no issues with sending pictures.

Desired outcome: I would like for them to replace my lid because this is a defect in this washing machine if so many people are having the same issue. Everyone says the same exact thing that the left side of the lid broke just that side.

Maytag Washer

June 1 2023 was when we bought the washing machine. It worked fine for four weeks, then started making a noise the sounded like my blender on high speed. At first it was only when draining, then it kept getting worse until the noise was all the time. After two weeks it stopped draining at all. A repair man came out and said there was not anything wrong, even after listening to noise we had recorded. When we asked for a different repair man we were told there wasn"t any other. The first repair man was contacted again to come back, and he wouldn"t come. This was not a very good experience.

Maytag Maytag washing machine mvw7232hw

I believe I have a lemon of a washing machine. 6 months into my purchase the machine stopped “sensing” the clothing and then filling up with water. We have replaced the electronics board twice. We have replaced a few other parts. And now the Maytag technicians are asking the local appliance repairman to replace the motor. All in we have had approximately 5 appointments with repairmen taking about an hour or so of my time off work each time so 5 hours. I have spent the same amount of time on the phone with Maytag and Appliance Connection figuring out who can come when, and reiterating the problems with the machine. I have had to purchase a new but cheaper $500 washing machine to actually wash clothes in between repairs. I personally have to unhook and rehook up the machine each time they come because Maytag has a rule that the repairmen can’t be hooking up and removing water to the machines when they come. That’s about $195 for an unhook and rehook up each time so $975 ish for that.

Maytag has replaced 2 boards, a few others components, and now wants to replace the motor (because they don’t know what’s causing the actual problem). They pay for the parts and the repairman to come out each time. Guessing this is somewhere around $1,500. When will it end?

I want a new washing machine under warranty delivered to my house next week August 28-31st so I don’t have to keep dealing with this issue. If Maytag doesn’t want to do that, maybe they should pay to pipe cold/hot water to my garage so I can permanently hook up my 2nd washing machine so I don’t have to move machines around my utility room. This is about $3k.

Hello Maytag? How much more money will you throw at this problem before you just replace our washing machine and save your reputation. I’m ready to start putting comments out on any platform I can. Do the right thing.

On October 17, 2020 I bought a Maytag Washer and Dryer. I paid $1657.98 for the pair. On August 1, 2023 my dryer stopped working (no heat) I called the repairman and they want almost $400 to repair a $74 thermostat. I REFUSED needless to say - I am furious!

The dryer is not even 3 years old! I paid EXTRA because I thought Maytag would be a better brand. I am very disappointed!

Maytag Bravos XL commercial top loading washing machine model number mvwb855dc4

The lid has cracked in the top left corner causing the lid to be out of alignment and therefore the lock does not lock unless you hold it down, which makes the plastic crack even more. I’ve read that this is a common problem with these washers. For $2000 and only being 2 years old, this should be covered by the manufacturer. This is a manufacturer default and not due to being overused or roughly used and I don’t feel as though I should be responsible to pay for a replacement lid.

Desired outcome: I would like confirmation from Maytag that a replacement lid will be shipped to me free of charge, and a recall be made on this part of the machine.
