Maytag poor warranty service

I too, have a complaint and A&E factory service personnel and deceptive practices. I have a 2 month old front load Maytag washer. All the fancy buttons and cycles. The on/off and the pause/start buttons stopped working. I called one Maytag repair service company and when they found out it was warranty work, they said to call somebody else!. I then called Maytag and got A&E number for warranty repairs. They came out promptly the first time, determined it was the "motherboard" (or something equivalent) and ordered the part. They said they would be back in 10 days with the part and repair. BUT, if I wanted it repaired quicker, while the repair was covered under the warranty, the expediated shipping was not, so I could pay $28 for the part to be FEDEX'd and they would be back on Saturday. (4 days). Thinking, I will pay that much and have to go to the LaundryMat, I said okay. They gave me a card with an 800 number on it to call when the part arrived. I diligently watched for the package on my porch and on Thursday night the part had arrived. I called the number (all automated) and all was well. They even had an automated system call my cell to confirm they would be back on Saturday. I got a call on Saturday saying the technician was at my house, even though I had requested a 15 minute warning call to run home from work. I made it home in 7 minutes, but no one was at the house. I called the number back and got a different operator and told him no-one was there. He stated, no he would be there in 15 minutes! (okay get your stories straight, people). I waited 30 minutes and called them again. This time he stated that the technician was "still waiting" for me to get home. No, I replied, he is NOT at MY house and confirmed the address for the 3rd time. They insisted he was indeed at my house 4 or 5 more times. Finally, with me standing in the middle of the street, I see the van drive up. Driver stated " the GPS directed me 2 blocks over" and when questioned what the street sign said, he replied that he never looks at the green signs. OMG! Now, I acknowledge that I am definitely unhappy at this point. Then he gets in the house, opens the box that FEDEX had delivered and stated, "Nope, not the right part, where is the other box?" We only received one box. He called the "shop" and was told the other part was on backorder.

I haven't heard from them since. Now I am looking for another company to fix my Maytag washer.

we bought a maytag washer 7 yrs ago and it never worked properly from day one. we/ve had a repairman out almost yearly and always told me just run it till it breaks. (we had a warranty) well, now the transmission is shot and it's been three weeks waiting for the part. I WILL NEVER BUY A MAYTAG OR FROM SEARS AGAIN AS THEY DO NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES. I HOPE THIS GETS TO THE BIG SHOTS UPSTAIRS, BECAUSE ANYONE I KNOW WILL HEAR ABOUT YOUR SERVICE. my husband has been a sears customer for 50 years and we will not be customers anymore.

First and foremost I have to say that I have never had a worse experience with a company that I was paying to do a repair. I found the customer service rep & Manager in the call center HORRIBLE as well as the Field tech was very unprofessinal. I set up and appointment for Sat 3/6/2017 from 1-5pm the tech call to advise he was on the way however he needed to confirmed that i could pay for the charge for the visit and the parts. The tech came in and took the front of the washer apart and ran a full load. Why he took the front of the washer apart I'm not sure because my ticket stated that the leak was in the back of the washer. The tech was in my home about 25 mins and informed me that there was no problem with the washer, he closed up the washer and was out of the house within 45 mins. Saturday evening I went to use the washer and within 15 mins of running the washer I had water running from the back of the washer. I called A&E and requested to speak to a supervisor because I didn't want to take out my anger on the CSR. The rep gave me to a supervisor by the name of Robert Galvin I explained the situation to Robert however he went on to tell me that they dont have service visit on Sunday but he would give me an appt for Monday between 8a-12p. I requested a call from Robert manager Aron McDaniel (it's now 9:25pm 3/7/2017 & I've yet to get a call from Aron. 3/7/2017 I received a automatic call to remind me that I had an appointment set up for 3/8/2017 8A-12P. I was so upset I called the horrible call center again and I was treated so bad I finally just asked that the tech be sent today. The same DUM Tech came back again and advise me that he had to charge me another 45 for a part and it would be 48 hrs before the part would arrive. To sum up this horrible treatment I received I paid 174.00 to be treated like ### and my washer is still broke. I'll be following up with Maytag to advise them of the service I received from there Contracter.
DO NOT USE A&E Factory Service if you have appliance repair. request another contracter because these people do not belive in CUSTOMER service!

Maytag awful company

Maytag Model #MMV4205 This model was bought less then three months before the heating element burnedout. Maytag would not exchange. Told us they would send a repair person to fix. 5 days later rerpair man comes and says he cannot fix it since he did not have the parts. An order is placed to order the parts. A week later one part shows up broken. When the Maytag repair man shows up he says that parts is no good and that the two other parts were backordered and would not ship for a month. We call there response number and request to get this resolved quickly and do not want to wait another month to get the microwave fixed. The person (jeff) at customer service tells us that he can not do anything but put an expedite in for the parts. We inform him that the repairman had already tried to put an expedite on the part and that he was tiold that because this is a new model that they cannot get us a part till then. The customer service person tells us he does not believe this and says that an expedite will be put in and that we have to wait for the part. This is the worst service I have dealt with. We spent over $400 on a microwave that is supposed to be the top of the line and instead the problems make us feel as if this was the worst decision to buy this model. Customer service (Jeff) was informed this complaint would be put in and he dergards are frustration does not help us. All we want is to have a working microwave. A replacement model would have sufficed which they could do immediately but instead they make us wait and go without a microwave for who knows how much longer.

Maytag cyclic thaw and freeze

My bottom freezer, french door fridgerator, is going to cyclic thaw and freeze.During the course, We hear it going to through "whine and one click" for day or two and the whole fridge and freezer stop working, all the food is thawed and warm.We call the repair guy from the home owners warranty.By the time he comes, it two or three days later and it is back working on its own.We pay the guy to tell me that there is nothing wrong.We have gone through in loops with the warranty company and Maytag.No solutions yet, but losing money on the repair guys and the food that is thawed and thrown away.
We were going to buy Maytag washer and dryer, but we settled for Fisher and Paykle.
As We read all the letters from vexed up Maytag customer, we should have class action suit against Maytag

Maytag dangerous products

We purchased a Maytag dishwasher, purchased the top of the line metal tub etc. they never informed me of the potential to burn down my house. Yes it almost did. After the sparking incident I Found out about the recall I called the company they said mine was too new and not on the list .

I explained that the repair man that came was a retired whirlpool -Maytag repair man and it should not have sparked like it had and I was lucky that we were home and I cut the power. Or it would have burn down the house.

Now after 3 weeks of trying to get them to do something finally a repairman of their choice came out . He said it was one of the worse he had seen the entire wire harness was fried. And he would have Maytag-whirlpool send the appropriate parts to repair and prevent from happening again. Why are they not informing the public and correcting the problem before they sell these dangerous products. This leaking into the wiring hazard issue: has been going on for quite some time.

New Maytag Dryer - Purchased at Best Buy, took 30 days for delivery - that was with repeated calls to both Best Buy and Maytag to take 14 days of schedule (originally scheduled for 14 day delivery). Worked for 3 months then blower moter went bad. Have waited over 2 weeks for part with Maytag repair shop unwilling to give any kind of date when part will be available to them.

Maytag recall

Maytag voluntarily recalling about 1.6 million maytag and other brands refrigerators because of fire hazard. Mine was included in the recall. The repair man replaced the ignition relay, which was bad from stock, so the compresssor is not working now.
I am without a refrigerator for 4 days.
Maytag and a&e factory service have a misscommunication problem, because they still did not ordered the part to fix the problem.
Of course all of my food in the garbage and I don't even know if they going to pay for my loss, not even mention I used my vacation days to wait for the repair man.

Maytag freeze up

I bought a Maytag French Door Bottom Drawer Freezer refrigerator last June. When we go south in Jan. thru April I have always shut my icemaker off. When we arrived home and there was frozen soda in main frig but I thought it was because it wasn't full of food. I turned on the icemaker and everything in my crisper drawers as well as other items froze. Serviceman came and used hairdryer on coils behind the back wall of frig and said that when I shut it off it goes to "Max Cool" and into refrigerator as it isn't making ice. Recommended I drain the water from the coils while away. This is a design flaw, no question. There is nothing mentioned in the instruction book re turning off the icemaker. A friend in another State had the same problem. Not sure what I should do next.

I have a Maytag Frig with French Doors and Bottom Freezer. The track on the side where the ice maker keeps freezing up and I can't open the freezer door. I have to shut it off and wait for it to warm up and melt. Maytag has NO technical support whatsoever and only a one year warranty on their applicances. I tried silicone spray and it still does it. Maytag claims no one else reported this issue for this model. Anyone know what else I can try without spending $150 for a repairman?

Maytag doesn't work right & they don't stand behind their products

I purchased a Maytag Quiet Series 300 dishwasher 2 years ago, the dishwasher constantly swicthes itself from normal wash to rinse cycle on it's own. Then it takes 2 hours to run behind you can attempt to rswitch it back to the normal cycle which at 2 years old is not even switching back. And again, I didn't know that 2 hours was a normal running time which Maytag claims is. They want me to pay a service charge to have someone come out and look at it. Maytag says that any defects will come out within the 1st year so anythign after that is on me. So those commercials that say their products work so well that the repairman has nothing to do is a bunch of hoopla. They just don't back up their products for more than a year. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING ANYTHING MAYTAG! THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS FOR MORE THAN A YEAR!

Maytag used to be a great company for appliances and stood for quality. They were bought out by Whirlpool and everything went downhill from there. Whirlpool does not build quality appliances and do not stand behind their products. Very sad that a less than credible company could purchase such a great name and in no time reduce it to junk. Don't be mad at Maytag, it is Whirlpool that has done this.

I'm trying to figure out why my 300 series Maytag all of a sudden quit working properly. I press the wash button, the unit fills with water, then shuts off completely. I push the start button twice and it will drain (as the manual states it will) then start the process again only to have it repeat the same steps. I've been looking all over the web for solutions and the recurring theme I find is that MAYTAG IS A PIECE OF ###! The unit is less than 3 years old and I've had other brands throughout the years that were a minimum of 10 years old that still worked well. So much for the "lonely Maytag repairman" . Maybe they build such junk that people are finally finding out and rather than fix them people are just replacing them with more reliable (and lower priced) dishwashers.

It's sounds like it's running normally. I have owned one for about 2 years. They work well, and a the usual cleaning cycle is 2 hours in which it will drain, refill, and rinse several times. The 2 hours includes drying.

Maytag compressor burned out-5th year!

After 5th year — start relay burned out — just out of warranty! 4 months later — recall came out — had repairman come out and he put new relay on — compressor was seized! Had to go buy another refrigerator — never again a maytag! I am writing letters and posting notes for customers not to buy any maytag products. They will not goodwill any repairs after warranty has expired! What a bummer! So much for customer satisfaction. Oh, by the way — my ge refigerator lasted 26 years and only got rid of it to buy the maytag for a color change and size upgrade — not because it stopped working! Unhappy jim in virginia!

Same exact thing happened to me with my "top of the line" whirlpool. Do they really make a product that costs this much to last five years? Amazing, is there any safe brand to buy that will back the compressor longer? The serviceman said alot of them are backed for ten years, I guess I will call him and find out what brand that it.

Maytag circuit board failures

I purchased 5 new appliances from Home Depot in May of 2006, spending close to $8000. The Maytag H2o is a complete piece of junk. I had the first circuit board failure about 10 months ago, with the ice door opening and shutting constantly. It had to be replaced, taking more than a week and two service visits.
Now, it is April 10, 2009 and the temp alarm keeps going off, light flashing and the refrigerator temp display keeps saying 38, then 57. It is Good Friday, I have a refrigerator full of food for Easter brunch and dinner, and nobody can come out until Monday!
I am just happy I spent the extra money for the extended warranty. Hopefully it is only the circuit board AGAIN, and the thing stays cold. Old fridge was a GE, had one problem in 25 years, fixed for $50, STILL running 15 years later, now that's quality. Wish I had it back.
I would be happy to be part of a class action, this thing was way to expensive to have these problems. It has other issues too, doors don't fit right, plastic parts fall off...and on top of that it is a very poor design, can't get anything on the short shelves. Maytag should be ashamed of themselves and offer everyone a new fridge. What a POS.

Maytag overall disatisfaction

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher and an installment of same. The installment had a rebate offer of any dishwasher that cost $497.00 or more of which my purchase qualified.

When the installers came with the diswasher, it was discovered that the dishwasher was damaged. Another dishwasher was ordered from another store. I had taken a day off work to be at home when the installer came. With that said after a week another appointment was made to install the ordered dishwasher. I took more time off work to be there. When the replacement dishwasher was installed, it was discovered that the pump was broken when water went everywhere. Another dishwasher was at the store, so the installer went and got another one. Everything went fine after that. I had filled out the rebate offer after the intial purchase and mailed it the next day. Two days after the 3rd dishwasher was put in, I received a notice from Maytag that the dishwasher I had purchased did not qualify for the rebate. After calling the number on the notice, I was informed that it did indeed qualify and that the rebate would arrive in two to three weeks. I do want to say that the people at Lowes did call me on several occasions and did a good job of customer relations. On another complaint, I purchased a Whirlpool hot water heater from Lowes back in 2004. The water heater has a 12 year warrenty. The water heater started failing to heat a full tank of water 6 months ago. I have been going through Whirlpool over that 6 months to get parts replaced and have replaced 3 different components on the heater itself and it still is not heating a full 40 gallon tank. I am in the process now of getting a voucher to replace the heater after having to go through a professional plumber and lots of red tape. My overall complaint is not so much with Lowes as it is with the poor quality of the applinaces they sell. It is an ironic twist that I used to work at Lowes selling appliances part time around 5 years ago, so I know the ropes. I don't have any problems with the service at Lowes, nor did I have problems with the installers. I am however dissapointed with the quality of a lot of products this day and time.

This model microwave was purchased as a gift in November of 2008 and installed in January / February 2009 time frame. Approximately 6-weeks ago, (7 months installed) it suddenly quit working. Up to this point, we were happy with the microwave with the only problems being Florida-flicker-and-flash (power bumps).
Today I have finally attempted contacting the company via email. I sure hope I do not have the same problems as described by the other comment on this site.

Maytag poor quality

Purchased a top of the line Maytag Neptune washer and dryer and after 4 years of service it now needs $1400 in parts and it only cost $1200 we bought. I have called the customer service for Maytag and they have no care in the world an all they want to do it hope that it lasts you till your warrenty is over and then they can wash there hands of it. the problem with mine is that the seal and bearing are leaking water onto the clutch and causing it to fail. My queston to Maytag was there major components are failing prematurly. I would strongly incourage people to just buy the cheap $300 washers and dryers as they will last just as long and most likley a lot longer and don't buy a Maytag or Whirlpool.

Maytag washing machine

Maytag Legacy Series washing machine SAV15DEWW purchased in August 2004. In 4 1/2 years, the motor hub bearing and seal have gone out 3 times. Once under factory warranty, once under extended warranty I paid extra for, and now it is out again with no warranty.

Buyer Beware of Maytag products! There are just too many complaints regarding quality, service, and the fact they WILL NOT back their product. Spend a little extra and get an applicance that will last more than a few years. Maytag and Whirlpool are the two most complained on appliance makers I have found.

I purchased a Maytag Ensignia washer from Sears two and a half years ago. Since that time it has been a huge disappointment! It has had two major repairs, the first at 8 months. The second just recently. The transmission went out. I was informed by the repair tech from Sears, which was a nightmare of its own, that it would cost more to repair then I paid for it. Surely you can do better than this Maytag! Im embarassed for you as well as angry! I do not ever plan to buy another Maytag washer or any products from Sears again. I recently purchased a new Speed Queen washer. They have a 3 year factory warranty! A 5 year warranty on the motor and a 10 year warranty on their transmission! Could it be that there is actually a company left that is proud of their product and stands behind it!

Maytag procedure followed by maytag dependability plus

I purchased a policy from Maytag Dependability Plus on both, my Maytag washer and dryer. My washer broke down, I called Maytag Dependability Plus to have it repaired. They first called A&E Appliance Repair Service, then canceled A&E. Then they called another company to repair my washer. The repairman came to make the repairs, after the repairman diagnosed the problem, they wouldn't allow him to order the parts and fix the machine. By this time I have called Maytag Dependability Plus numerous times and had to call them again! They lined up A&E to come out again. The A&E repairman showed up, diagnosed the problem (2nd diagnosis), ordered the parts necessary to fix the machine. It took almost a week to receive the parts, I called A&E, the following week they sent another repairman to fix the machine... In total, it took 3 weeks to get my machine repaired...

Then the dryer broke down. I called Maytag Dependability Plus to have it repaired. They first called A&E Appliance Repair Service, then canceled A&E. Again, they called another company to repair my dryer. The repairman came to make the repairs, after the repairman diagnosed the problem, they wouldn't allow him to order the parts and fix the machine. Same as with the first time when my washer broke down, I had to call Maytag Dependability Plus numerous times and had to call them again! They lined up A&E to come out again. The A&E repairman showed up, diagnosed the problem (2nd diagnosis), ordered the parts necessary to fix the machine. It took almost a week to receive the parts, I called A&E, the following week they sent another repairman to fix the machine... Again, it took about 3 weeks to repair my machine!

Then, a year or so later the washer broke down for the 2nd time... Again, they lined A&E up to do the job. Again, they canceled A&E and called another company. He came out, diagnosed the problem and they canceled the repair! Then they lined up another company. After calling Maytag Dependability Plus again and again, I called them to find out what they were planning to do about my machine. They said they were sending another company, General Appliance. I called them to set an appointment They were not qualified to work on Neptune washers... Again, I called Maytag Dependability Plus. By this time I am hopping mad of course... They then called A&E Repair to fix the machine. The repairman came out, diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts. About a week later he was supposed to return and fix the machine... The parts didn't show up and neither did he! No one called me, so I called them again. They said they couldn't get the parts, said they were back ordered. I called the factory, Maytag Parts. They said they had the parts. I then called A&E and explained that Maytag had the parts. By this time, I know I've had to make at least 20 telephone calls back and forth between Maytag Dependability Plus and A&E Repair Service, and now the Maytag factory parts department. Is this crazy or what? Finally, they have ordered the parts. By this time, I'm 3 weeks trying to get these people to repair my washer. They are refusing to have the parts send 2 day air, so I've got to wait another week to 10 days to get my machine fixed, if it ever gets fixed at all. I will probably have to repair the machine myself.

This is a common practice of Maytag Dependability Plus to send other companies out and then cancel the repair... This costs them the additional service calls, costs the consumer (Maytag Customer) the convenience of a working Maytag appliance, time and money having to go to the laundry mat to wash their clothes.

I don't know what the relationship is between Maytag Dependabilty Plus and the Maytag Company, but if I were Maytag I would be taking a hard look at the procedures followed by Maytag Dependability Plus... It's no wonder Whirlpool is doing so well! Maytag is forcing all their own customers to purchase Whirpool appliances!

Maytag not spinning properly

Spinner not working. Innitially agitator not agitating followed by the tub not spinning properly. This happened just before my 5 year warranty expired. Service was done on my machine. All that was done was a tightning of the belt. Problem still persists and Maytag wont do anything about it without charging more money. Verry frusterated especially knowing that this is a consistent problem with this company. We too went to Maytag to upgrade and have been verry unhappy with product and service.

I purchased an Atlantis washer from Foxboro Appliance in 2/2005 recommended to me by the owner of the Store. I spent almost $700 This machine is already in need of repair which will cost upwards of $250 require that it be removed from my home and leave me without a washer for about a week. Maytag says that this problem is not covered under the warranty. -- You mean to tell me that a company such as Maytag can not stand behind it's product? I should have spent $300 and gone to Home Depot at least I know from experience the would back up the products they sell or at least I would not feel so badly that the washer was out of commission in a few years. I was unaware that a washer machine was supposed to be a disposable household item!

CLASS ACTION PLEASE.

my washer does not come off the wash cycle. I have to manually turn it to the rinse cycle then I have to do it again because all the soap doesn't come out in one rinse.

I have an Atlantis washer (Maytag) that we have an extended warranty on it. We have had trouble with it for years. It will not spin water out most of the time, or I should say it does not do it everytime at least when a "repair person" was there he could not get it to do what it does for us time after time. He kept asking me what I thought was wrong with it! I must say this is my 3rd washing machine and 1st and last Maytag washer. It is insulting that they cannot fix or figure out what is wrong. They are the ones that are supposed to be able to fix appliances. I feel that once they get your money for the twice we have renewed the extended warranty they do not care.

Maytag refrigerator msd2756ge

I purchased a Maytag refigerator MSD2756GE in 2003. Two years ago the hose to the ice maker leaked. The water went under the hardwood floor and ruined 50 sq. ft of flooring. I removed the cabinet that surrounds the refrigerator and had the flooring replaced. I also installed a stainless steel line to the ice maker. I installed tile under the refrigerator to prevent it from happening again. I thought that if water should leak again it would run off the tile and would be seen easier, as before the water just went uder the flooring. I thought my problems were over. Yesterday we noticed the floor copping and water stains. I pulled otu the refrigerator and found the water hoses going from the water valves to the back of frige were breaking down. The plastic was actually deteriorating, causing water to leak again. I have to replace the flooring again plus the water got under the tile and they are loose. I am sure I have no recourse with Maytag exept to never buy another Maytag.

Maytag stopped working

Purchased a New Maytag Washer, Dryer, Frig, and the Range unit listed above. The Washer's transmission went out after 14 months. It was maytags industrial model. Paid $75 to replace the transmission in it and now a year later its out again. The range unit listed made a popping sound and the lights went dim in the house for a second and now the oven wont work but the units on top work fine. The answer maytag had for me $75 service charge to come out and look at it. The Maytag store in Turkey Creek Shopping center in Knoxville was bothered by my phone call on yet another of there appliances I purchased just up and stopping. This must be a common call for them. They were as sweet as could be to get me to buy there junk. I will NEVER buy another maytag product again. I do not see how they saty in business. The address and phone number to the Mayutag Store in Knoxville is listed on this complaint. I would avoid them at all costs unless you like paying repair bills 14 months later

Maytag broken washing machine

A & E Factory Repair company was scheduled to repair my Maytag washing machine on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 between the hours of 1pm to 5pm. Around 3pm A & E called and canceled and no explanation was given to me. A & E rescheduled the repair for today, Thursday, December 4, 2008 and the hours were 8am to 12pm. No technician came out nor did one called. I called at 11:10 to see if the technician was on the way. I was told that he was running late and that he would call me to inform me as to when he will be coming. I called back at 1:l10, 4:08 and was given the same story. At 4:22 I knew that no one was coming out, so out of frustration I called A & E and asked if they would extend courteously and send a technician out tomorrow morning to repair my washing machine especially due to the fact that they didn't come out on Wednesday nor today--- but I was told NO.
A & E is very unreliable, undependable, discourteous. And they don't care for there customers in the Bronx.
