Maytag Ranges/Ovens

On 9/8/09, I purchased a Maytag ceramic glass top range, model MER7662WBO. The right front dual burner has what look like worms in the burner. The other burners are clear. Maytag has replaced the top three times and the burner once. The top has gone bad again and they are calling this a cosmetic now and will not replace the top. I think there is a problem with the tops. I have purchased my last Maytag product. I buy for looks also.

I bought Tapan gas stove last year, but all your ranges have a problem. Whenever we clean the range, it never goes straight stay up ,even when I bought from Lowe's Store and I told them they said that defect from manufacturer. You have to correct your manufacturer's defect, I want an answer as soon as possible. Thank you.

I bought a Maytag Gas Range in January 2010. In January 2012, the wiring caught fire, and now, the oven is unusable. Maytag was not very helpful in our loss of money and product.

We bought a new Maytag electric range from a local dealer three years ago. The oven element quit working, which shorted out the motherboard that controls the entire range. The cost of repair was $500 for the element, motherboard and installation. We have owned other brands that lasted 20 years and worked fine with no repairs. My folks have used Maytag for over 50 years with no problems. Who and where is this junk manufactured now? China? I will never buy another Maytag product!

Our Maytag oven (not sure model) in the first year started doing crazy things with the oven computer. The oven would shut off and come back on and the display would be garbled. Also when my girlfriend tried to pull the turkey out, the rack fell off the left side and dumped all the juices into the oven. She almost got burned and there was a lot of smoke. The freakin' rack should never fall off! Also our dishwasher is on its second control board.

I lived by "Mr. Maytag" and his airplanes/helicopters at Crest airpark in Covington, WA. I wish I still did. I'd like to ask him what he thinks of his crappy products. You get nothing for your money anymore. I'm not sure but I'll bet both of my problems with these products have something to do with saving a buck by making this crap in Mexico or some other *** hole. I'm just glad Maytag doesn't make airplanes or medical equipment.

Fire Danger. We had a power outage and my Maytag gas range/double oven (Model: MGR6875ADS) was dead after the power came back on. We figured it was the control board and braced for the expense to replace it. A few days later, I plugged the oven back in just to see if it would work and it did! The control panel came back on and we were up and running. The good news end there. On Christmas Eve, we came home to a house full of smoke with fire alarms buzzing. A butcher block style cutting board that was on top of the range with Santa's cookies on it was on fire. Twenty more minutes and the house would have been gone.

Wow! I wished I had reviewed this page before purchasing a Maytag. We bought a new Maytag Range (#MGR5751BDD) from Menard's in March 2008. Within a couple of months, we were out of a stove. I was lighting the burner to make dinner for my family (it is a gas range) and all the burners started making a clicking noise and they caught on fire. Luckily, my husband was nearby and took the fire extinguisher to it.

We thought for sure that the house was going to be gone. We contacted Maytag and they had a guy come out (wasn't the friendliest and cted like he could care less). He stated there was wiring that was bad but because we took the fire extinguisher to it we probably voided the warranty. What? He would submit a report to Maytag.

Maytag reluctantly gave us some money but not near enough to cover the stove that was only a couple of months old. Now, I can't use the new range that is 2.5 years old. It pops and spurts because the regulator needs to be replaced. The bad thing is by the time we pay for a repairman and the new part, it will cost us a lot of money we can't afford. This stinks.

I am very frustrated and disappointed with all of the appliances I purchased from Maytag, 3 1/2 years ago. The stove has never cooked evenly, and they replaced both heating elements, and it still does not bake properly. I just called customer service, because my pies for the holidays burned once again. They told me there was nothing they could do. I cannot believe a customer that spent this much money with Maytag (purchased a washer, dryer, microwave and oven), gets no help from the company.

The transmission has been replaced in the washer, and is still noisy. The dryer is also very noisy. The stove does not bake properly, and the microwave quit within a few months of purchasing. The quality of Maytag is very poor, and the customer service is obviously poor too, when they said there is nothing they can do for me. I guess they do not care about customer loyalty.

I purchased a Maytag range (YMER8875WS) on June 20, 2011. When I put my Christmas turkey in the oven, the rack fell! It seems the oven wall has gotten wider in the middle, so the rack doesn't stay in place. I have read several comments online about this, particularly relating to Kenmore ranges. This is a very common problem apparently caused by the oven liner bowing outwards.

My Maytag (MER7662XQ) oven has stopped working after barely 6 months of use. I filed a warranty-repair complaint and reported the error codes shown: "F1" (faulty touchpad) and "F3" (faulty temp sensor). Although Maytag promptly sent a repairman, he arrived without parts and left within 5 minutes without fixing anything. He said he would order parts. Whenever they were delivered to us, by mail, we should call again to schedule another repair. But he warned he was prohibited from coming out for another 7 days.

So far, I've been without an oven for almost 3 weeks and there has been no action or information. My calls to Maytag produced nothing, except confirmation they show the repair as "open" since they do not actually distribute parts, and the repairman is with an outside company. A terrible product and a worse service! I would not ever buy another Maytag product and recommend that no one else does either.

My built in electric double wall oven, Model MEW6630DDB, convection on the top, has been the most frustrating appliance I have ever owned. It has never kept an even temperature. It has been repaired several times and still does not keep an even temperature. It takes 14 hours to cook a 20 lb. turkey and baking cookies are not even an option. I have complained to Maytag and have paid for repair services. Their solution buy an extended warranty which is absolutely insane because they haven't been able to repair it since it was new over four years ago.

I bought a Maytag MGR5605WW range on July 3, 2011 and it took till mid August before I received it. Right away I noticed when I put a pan on the grates, I had to be careful so they did not slip off. Dangerous! Then I made a pizza, and when I pulled the rack out of the oven, the rack tipped down and the pizza slid down on the oven. Danger again! I went over to Menards and they gave me the number of A&E (1-800-771-3029). I called them when I got home and an A&E person said they would call me back.

After a few more calls, no one ever called me back. I went back to Menards. They said I need to deal with Maytag. I am very concerned with the racks, and so is everyone else. They are cheaply made. Tonight I had a family member place the frozen turkey on the rack and it bowed down! Danger again. The grates have a few chips. This is a nightmare. What a piece of trash. I'm trying to get someone to respond. This stove is dangerous to my well-being, and I have no other choice but to use it.

I was in my bed and lights and TV flickered. Then, I heard a small explosion and my dogs went crazy. I went into the kitchen and my Maytag Gemini stove was smoking and smells really bad. I unplugged it. The sockets and the one close to it no longer work. My house stinks now. What happened? I have had this stove for a few years but it is not used often except during the holidays.

I purchased Maytag gas range in March 2011 at Home Depot, Model No. MGR5605WWO. I received the product in May 2011. The porcelain on the grates chips away leaving large grooves in grate, which affects cooking efficiency, (the fire burns erratically). First, I called 1-800-688-9900. The grates were replaced. And then same problem, it was replaced again, and again the same problem. The warranty to cover stove was extended by 6 months. The enamel on the round magnetic cover for the burner is also chipping away. I was told that this chipping of the enamel is a cosmetic problem and does not affect the functionality of the stove problem.

A repair technician was sent out at my request to see firsthand the problem grates. I was told by him that if it occurred again, the manufacturer needs to be made aware of the defective grates. He noted that the enamel covering on the grates was not uniform. I have been told by Maytag supervisor today that she will get back to me within 3-5 days and let me know what is going to be done. I have had gas ranges before, but this is the first time this problem has occurred and its continuation is unacceptable. Is there anything further I can do to ensure I have stove grates that do not chip continuously?

I bought all new Maytag appliances for a new house built 2 years ago. The oven fan, while in warranty, began coming on in the middle of the night. It would turn on, cancel, began not working, and then the ticking noise began. Maytag sent 5 different service people out, sometimes without the part. We are afraid to use it now and have turned off the breaker for it. Now, it is turning itself back on again. Maytag says we must now pay for any repairs/service calls as it is out of warranty. It was not out of warranty when all these troubles began.

I called Maytag customer service today and could not have talked to a less customer friendly person. She didn't care that it was in warranty when the trouble began. It is out now and is our problem. There is no one else but her we can talk to about it. She is the decision maker. What experiences has anyone had with trying to call the president of Whirlpool, or filing a small claims court action? Any help is appreciated. Who is going to cook our Thanksgiving turkey?

I purchased a Maytag gas range about five years ago. After about two months, I noticed that the paint on the burner grates was flaking off. I called the company and they told me it was cosmetic. I have since bought two sets of replacement grates. I call the newest ones my "dress grates", which I put on the stove when I am having company. I use the damaged ones for everyday cooking. Last year, the panel flashed. It "locks" constantly. And often, the door would not open, unless we pulled the stove away from the wall, unplugged it, and that cleared the computer.

So, after months of unsuccessful door openings, the handle finally fell off completely. And the door locks whenever the oven is turned on. You have to finish your cooking, press cancel, and wait until the oven cools off, and then it will unlock. I have tried pushing aluminum foil into the latch hole on the door but have not been successful. Sometimes I just put a spoon in the door to keep it ajar while cooking. This can't be energy efficient. Of course, it is out of warranty. I saw a similar complaint about the burner grates. Also, the paint has chipped in several places on the cook top and the disks are all chipped. I am never ever going to buy a Maytag product. Oh, by the way, I called a repairman. I paid $65 for him to tell me that to replace the lock mechanism and the door handle, it would be $400. I can buy a new stove for that, but not a Maytag.

The middle piece of glass on my four-year-old gas oven shattered. It was not being used, but when I called Maytag, they told me that that was not covered because I did not have an extended warranty, and that I can purchase a new oven door and would have to pay the service person. I hope they go out of business. Maytag stinks, and everyone should know this.

We purchased a Maytag double oven in November 18, 2008. I was baking and the top oven wasn't working. We called Maytag service number on the book we received when we purchased the oven. It took 25 minutes for someone to answer our call. The person did not know what our problem was. We thought it could be the ignitor. He transferred us to a parts person. That person didn't know the answer and hung up on my husband. How rude of him. We will never purchase another Maytag product. We will let our family and friends also know. You need to inform your personnel to know their products.

I purchased a Maytag Gemini gas range in July 2006. Rust has appeared on the bottom of both oven doors. I called Maytag customer service, realizing that my range was no longer covered by warranty. However, I feel the paint on a range, costing over $1,000, should last longer than 5 years. Customer service told me to call a repair technician. When I asked who would pay for this service call, they didn't even bother to respond to me. As I have read other reviews of dissatisfied Maytag Range owners, I'm glad I didn't waste money calling a repair tech who would do nothing to help, but charge a $100 plus fee. The paint on a car, which is subjected to all kinds of weather, lasts much longer than 5 years. You would think the paint on an appliance inside a home should last much longer. This rust is becoming very unsightly. I will certainly not purchase a Maytag product again, as the company has proved they do not stand behind their product line.

The bottom oven of my Maytag double oven range (serial #MER6765BAS18) caught fire while I was baking there. The coil burnt out and separated. This did not occur due to food spill or other means. The coil was charred. The stove top does not perform adequately and the coils do not heat uniformly.

I purchased a Maytag Electric Range (Model: MER7662WS1) at Lowe's in February 2011. After few months, we found many rusty areas on the stainless oven door and on the stainless drawer.

On 9/8, I called Maytag at 1-800-688-9900 to complain that stainless steel is not supposed to rust. A representative took the initiative to schedule A&E Factory Service to come to my house for a warranty repair, and assigned me an order # 40629499. I did not request for this service call and naturally, I regard this as a warranty service or a service of quality check of a product.

On 9/19, a technician came to check the rusty area and confirmed that the stainless steel have rusted and the rust will eat through the panel. The technician called Maytag, and got the answer that Maytag will not pay for his visit because it's not under warranty. The technician then checked the warranty manual, but could find not any statement that neither rust is cosmetic nor rust is not covered. The technician asked me to pay $132 for his five-minute checking service. I was so upset and called Denice at A&E Factory Service at 1-800-905-9505 to bill Maytag directly. She ignored my request and said that I should take it to Maytag.

After a couple of hours waiting, holding and transferring, I explained to two Maytag customer service representatives my problem, only to get a "Sorry, it's not covered, it's cosmetic," reply. I insisted talking to a manager and finally got Melinda at Care Solution Team. She, too, refused to waive the charge for me and claimed herself as a supervisor and decision maker and there's no one above her who could resolve this issue.

I emphasized that A&E service call was authorized by Maytag, I did not order the service. Who would have thought that a service authorized by manufacturer is not covered under warranty? Besides, this representative failed to inform me that rust would not be covered, she should have known better. Therefore, I believe that the person who initiated the service call to A&E should be held accountable. But Melinda never wanted to agree with this logic and kept saying, "We don't force customer to have home service. You are liable for the bill."

She refused to pay for the service and forced me to pay the bill from the mistake they made. She even refused to give out the person's ID # and name of the person who called A&E. She only documented my complaint--what's the point of their documentation? If this is the tactic that Maytag is using to categorize rust as cosmetic (if rust can damage material, then you should not call it cosmetic), and ban customers from claiming the rust damage so they can use poor quality of stainless steel on their appliances to save the cost, then, it is dishonest to advertise that this oven is stainless.

A representative even said that Maytag should have emailed me with the confirmation of service call and noted that it's a non-warranty service. Also, A&E should have informed me before arrival that the service is not covered. All these were not true. First, I did not receive such email from Maytag or Whirlpool. If Maytag would have warned me with non-covered policy such as this, they should have the courtesy to call me in case the email was unreliably routed to spam box. A&E only informed me that they are coming the next day, but no such thing as telling me that the service will not be covered. Even their technician did not know about the non-covered issue, and had to call Maytag today to find out.

Had the person who scheduled the service told me that the rust on the stainless panels is not covered under warranty, will I still allow the service call and agree to pay $132 for a five-minute checkup and watch the technician leave without performing any repair? I asked Melinda to let me talk to her supervisor but she said that there's no one who can talk to me, and the only way to appeal is to write to the company's executives.

553 Benson Rd Benton Harbor, Michigan 49022. I doubt that an appeal will help me at all. I will take this matter to small claim court, I won't let them force me to pay the bill when I am not at fault.

we have trouble with maytag doublre oven. the oven is over 100 degree off set temp and is not consitant. some times high some times low. we have had ae repair out they relaced control board and circuit board same problem still exists. we had turner repair out they took a reading when it hit desires temp but did not stay to see temp rise above or below set temp. turner repair another tech order a temp probe the turner tech put in probe and jst left didnot even check oven. he was pissed off I quess. same problem still exisits.

We bought stove from Nebraka furniture mart the said theyont support repair after 30 days. we hope and pray that the tech will report to Maytag (Whirlpool) that the stove is bad and we can get a new one. So far no repair action has helped. We had a repair person out to repair a leak on a whirlpool washer . he also is qualified on stove but not a whirlpool repair authorized repair person. He checkedd the stove and said it is 100 degees off and we need to get a new one. We need some help with this problem please help us or tell us who to contact to get this problem resolved. gary Luttrull 816-618-3277

In April 2010, I purchased a Maytag Gemini gas range (~$2000). Today, I noticed that one of the tips on the burner grate that covers the "power boost" burner is chipped. I called the customer service about this and I was told that it is cosmetic and not a defect. I asked to have the call escalated and I was told by a supervisor named Dana, that right from the beginning she is the "final person" who I will deal with. Really?!

Dana claims the same thing - cosmetic and they will not replace the burner grate. She even went on to tell me that cooking with pots and pans will cause damage to the burner grates. Ok, what should I cook with to avoid damage to the burner grates?

We bought a gas range "The Big Oven" five years ago. Into the second year, the broiler quit, can't even light it with a match! It only bakes. The door of the oven doesn't close tight anymore. Because of that, the burner knob turned brown because of the heat, and it really got HOT. We used a stick to prop the door closed as much as we can.

In the last six months, the light cannot be replaced because there's something wrong with the element. We had a qualified technician come to take a look at this piece of junk, and he said there are so many things wrong with it that and it would just be throwing good money away. My husband just got laid off, we're both seniors and thought we'd buy a good stove. It has been a source of irritation and a few ruined meals. We thought this Amana stove would at least last 20 years, what a laugh. We will never buy another Amana product. We've told everyone we know about Amana and will continue to do so.

This is the second oven because I had to throw the first one away because after seven years, they didn't make the part.

I am on my second Maytag oven that I was forced to purchse directly through maytag as my last replacement broke 3 times, just out of warranty. There is a major flaw on the design as the control panel burns itself out. Here i go again with a 6 month old oven MEW6527DDS and broken again.

it takes multiple calls for service and two work days being held hostage by repair folks and MAYTAG does not start the warranty over again after the fix which they darn well should. There is clearly something wrong with this model now that i am on number 2 and broken again? Like 4 times in 2 years???? HELP

We have a short in the electrical control panel that turned our oven on automatically overnight and could have burnt our house down if we did not wake up as there was a pan of oil cooling in the oven. Because of it's electrical short, it turned the oven on and baked the grease pan. Had we have not awakened or not been at home, this would have started a fire. I called Maytag at the their listed number and they do not have a recall or even an apology for the malfunction. This is a major design flaw that could be a life threatening situation.

The house was inundated with smoke and was choking us, we have a smell that is imbedded in the carpets and upholstery of our home as well as all of the clothes in the closets. There was smoke all over the house.

My stove almost burned my house down by turning itself on and burning some Tupperware my girlfriend had stored in the oven. We never thought that the oven would turn on by itself but it did. My sister law had to run out the house with my son and nephew because the fire alarms in my apartment were going off. When she was coming back with my father, they can see the smoke coming out the kitchen window she thought the worse, that the house was on fire. My father, not thinking, opened the apartment front door and saw plenty of smoke but most of the smoke was going out the kitchen window.

He could see no fire but plenty of smoke coming out the stove so he got close enough to shut it off and make sure nothing was on fire. I had plenty of smoke damage. I called the company and told them what had happened. They sent someone to fix the stove but it kept on doing this over and over again .So they came out to fix it again but parts were ordered and wouldn't be here for 4 months. It's been 6 months and no word of the parts yet. I think I have been very patient with Maytag. I think I'm going to get some legal advices. I think I was lucky because my sister-in-law was there but I bet a lot of people have not been lucky and have lost their house or a family member or a pet to this defect.

Who would know that an oven would turn on by itself? I bet if insurances would investigate, they will find a lot of fires caused by Maytag ovens. I was lucky that I saw it turn by itself and figured it out. My wife does not let me hook it up to the electricity because she thinks it will do it again and we my not be so lucky. Hopefully someone that hasn't been as lucky as me can figure it out that their stove was the cause of there loss.

My family owns a double wall oven, model number MEW6630CAS. It was an expensive oven in 2001 and we hoped we were acquiring a sturdy and reliable tool for our family kitchen. Unfortunately, we have had to fix the digital display twice since we got this oven, at over $400 for each fix. The first fix was in 2005 and the last fix was last month, in 2010. In addition to the initial cost of the oven, we have spent over $800 just to be able to read the basic information of time, temperature, etc. of the oven. Obviously, when we acquired the oven, we never suspected we would need to spend over $800 just to be able to read the displays. This is a huge hidden cost and, we think, points to a serious problem with the design and the parts used to repair this product.

We contacted Maytag first by email, then by phone. Maytag representatives simply said that the oven is out of warranty and that there's nothing which can be done. We are realistic about the lifespan of products, and we absorbed the cost of the first expensive fix to our Maytag oven without complaint. However, the need to fix the oven a second time motivated us to ask for Maytag to compensate for at least the second fix. We wrote a letter to Maytag, to Ms. Paula **, Director of Consumer Care, Maytag. Her office (not her) responded by calling us and all they did was repeat the fact that the oven was out of warranty. I wonder if the makers of the Ford Pinto repeated that their defective cars were out of warranty! In short, Maytag oven is a terrible product, with multiple failures of digital display, a huge fix cost ($800 and counting) and a company that refuses to follow best practices, and stand up for their customers. We are done with Maytag.

Basically, I am so unhappy with a stove purchase I made in 2005 that has had the electronic display, and the two oven elements replaced within that time to the present. I feel a stove, which the company charges a pretty penny for, should stand behind their product. Torry from Whirlpool was very nice and sent me the user guide and warranty info, but a man I spoke with at Whirlpool was less than easy to deal with. And the certified dealer charged me for the same part (one of which I replaced this time) in 2008.

On October 2, 2008, we purchased a Maytag Electric Cooktop (5 burner). In the past 2 weeks ,we have attempted to replace the five "closed drip bowls" that came with the original cooktop. We have been informed that the "closed drip bowls" are no longer made and that we, instead, should use the "open drip bowls. " Page 4 of the "Use and Care Guide for the Electric Cooktop" states, "The drip bowls under each surface element catch boil overs and must always be used. Absence of drip bowls during cooking may damage wiring." If the "open drip bowls" are substituted for the "closed drip bowls" then there is nothing to catch boil overs and the wiring below the burners is exposed and risks being damaged. In addition, thorough cleaning under the burners is to say the least, awkward if not impossible.

Maytag has, in the past, been a trusted name in home appliances but,it is obvious the name Maytag on appliances, is no longer reliable. You can bet we will never buy a Maytag brand again.

I will no longer purchase any Maytag appliances. We have had nothing but problems. Our cook top stove has a second repair called on it. Our refrigerator has had several calls for repairs. We had purchased a washer & dryer and they both died 3 years and 8 months later and when I contacted Maytag, they said they couldn't do anything about it.

We had to go out and purchase another washer and dryer right away. Maytag would not reimburse us for the service call for our appliances! At the time we had our daughter and two grandchildren living with us and they go through a lot of clothing. The cost of purchasing both appliances was not cheap and paying the service call placed a burden on our finances.

We will eventually have to replace both our stove and refrigerator too. When I am at Home Depot or Lowe's and see other families looking to purchase a Maytag appliance, I stop and let them know all the problems we've had and that we aren't the only one.

I bought a double gas range and when using the oven racks on the lowest setting in both ovens, it scratches the oven door when being pulled out. This needs to be addressed with the company. I did contact the company and they said this is the design of the oven. Bad design. Why have a lowest setting if you cannot use it?

I sent Maytag an e-mail to let them know every Maytag appliance I own I have had to have repaired. My glass top stove has burn marks, dishwasher had standing water in the bottom of it, dryer almost caught on fire and my over the range microwave went out. All of this has cost money to get repaired. The people from Maytag told me they give more than other companies as far as a years warranty. and it's my responsibility to get it repaired at my cost and that I should keep it clean. Well, I can tell you I do keep up with the care of everything I own. I don't have money to be spent on things needlessly. As far as iIm concerned, Maytag is selling junk and they need to be investigated. Thank you

I believed I was buying a quality unit since it was a Maytag. Guess I bought the commercial that showed the Maytag repair man bored because he had no repairs to keep him busy. Well, I had at least 4 visits from the repairman within 1 year. This double oven has a stove top that does not clean and scratches very easily.

I also found the top oven specifically cooked unevenly (half the pan of cookies burned, other half undercooked). They told me the top oven was not meant for things like cookies?! They did replace the stove top 4 (yes four) times, but the problem is in the design. The stove top has a texture, even on the burners. Since my unit was still under warranty, I wanted Maytag to replace it for a different model (if they had one with a different stove top design) but they insisted it was user error, not a design issue since it had not been recalled.

Bottom line, I took one of the stove top replacements to the store where I bought the range. They took one look at the texture and immediately offered to take the unit back! Maytag does not equal quality.

We purchase a Maytag 30" Gemini range MGR6875ADW on 1/2/2006. In May 2006, the unit ejected a flame at the burner knob closest to the control panel. It was fixed by installing plastic discs and rubber inserts to prevent water from entering this area (where the gas ignitor control was located).

On 9/1/2010, the exact issue happened again. We called Maytag who agreed to repair the unit, but we wanted the unit replaced given the serious fire concern. When Maytag learned of the repair cost, they offered to replace the unit at a cost of $900 to us. We scoffed at that and requested equal replacement at no cost. 2-3 calls later, they were willing to replace the unit for $500.

After much research, it's clear there's a design defect with this unit which explains their eagerness to replace the unit - especially after they commented we would need to surrender the unit. I have contacted the State of Maine AG's office, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the State Fire Marshall's office. I need help to get this unit replaced at no cost. Maytag has established warranty reserves just for events like this. I'm just asking for a new unit, not an upgrade. Can someone please help?

We have to spend out time, energy and money with service calls, and the fact is our kitchen is unsightly 24/7 due to ongoing unsightly, un-cleanable ranges due to these un-cleanable black porcelain cartridges. Other than lifetime of replacing cartridges, having a smooth top might solve the daily unsightly issue. It might help solve this problem. Otherwise, we will press on to the new Consumer Protection Bureau, Elizabeth **** and ask her to do what was done to Toyota and stop corporations from robbing people of funds to save and pay bills then prepare for retirement, by making quality products. Lifetime guarantee on Cartridges and all parts that affect the ability to cook with this range is the only answer. Consumers might be willing to compromise and handle things of more cosmetic natures at 1/2 price, like the knobs.

I purchased a Maytag Nepture in 2005 not knowing of the lawsuit or participating in it. We have since spent over $700 in repairs. 4 times it has failed. I'm now replacing Mother Computer Board for the second time and no help from Maytag. The repair man feels terrible for us. This time the part is on back order who knows how long it will take to even get. We even called Maytag asking to get the part paid for or discounted and they would not do that.

I purchased a Jenn-Air with Maytag. The oven and warming drawer never worked correctly from the beginning. I had service on it shortly after I purchased it. And now, I am having the same issues. I am not happy with this unit. I did not realize all the problems that came with this unit that I would be responsible for, such as moisture getting between the glass front of the range and staining the glass, which looks terrible like I haven't cleaned it.

I believe this unit is a "lemon." It takes forever to boil water and almost 1/2 hr to preheat oven to 350 degrees! I am very disappointed with this range, and I feel that the company should stand behind their product. I want a replacement. I would be willing to go back to the "coil" range top if necessary and lose money than to deal with this unit!

We remodeled our kitchen in 2007 and replaced all the appliances with Maytag appliances, range, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave. Since that time, we have had to replace the microwave, it just quit working. The front large eye on the range hasn't worked in over a year. The refrigerator has to be defrosted about every 2 months, it freezes up between the freezer and the refrigerator compartment. The dishwasher is making a terrible noise and does not clean the dishes. We got a recall notice on the dishwasher and someone is supposed to come out and replace that part. I don't think that is going to help, it doesn't clean anyway. We paid a lot of money for these appliances and assumed that Maytag was a good, reliable company. Wrong. I'll never have another thing in my home made by Maytag.

Was cooking a pizza last night. Set oven to 400F and allowed oven to preheat. After oven reach proper temp, placed pizza in oven for approx 24min cooking time. After 10mins, heard a strange noise and went out to kitchen and found inner glass of oven door completely shattered. As above, the entire inner glass on the oven door shattered. Obviously, we are not going to use the oven until we get it repaired. I have tried to find other complaints but have been able to find the self cleaning models having this problem only when self cleaning was activated. This model is not self cleaning but I would find it strange if Maytag used different doors. I have yet to ascertain a price but I am sure the warranty is expired (of course!).

Maytag Self-cleaning wall oven (Model CWE4800ACE27) was purchased this year. I am not happy as this machine. It throws out a lot of hot air through its vent and fights my air conditioning. You cannot tell if my air is on after a couple hours of that oven being on. Also, you hear the cooling fan the whole time. As far as the manufacturer is concerned, it performs perfectly fine as it is supposed to do. Yes, it will cook fine but it heats up my house and is noisy. My neighbor just bought a Frigidaire after I bought this Maytag. I went to her house and there was no hot air coming out or a noise from the fan. I am unhappy. Neither Home Depot nor Whirlpool (Maytag) will do anything about this.

After the debacle with the Neptune washer by Maytag, we still re-purchased a Maytag washer based on the reviews. This time it was the Bravos, touted to be the solution to the Neptune's problems. It worked well for about a year and a half, then the F-1 warning light went on, and the washer stopped.

We called Sears repair, and they sent out one of their technicians. He replaced the computer that malfunctioned and for a mere sum of $385.55, we were back to washing. To me that is just wrong. The computer for $385 is a lot of money, and of course, the warranty was for a year. They did offer a 5-year new guarantee for another $300, but said he had never had to replace it more than once in the same machine.

No more Maytags for this family. It hurt only in the pocket book, and the Maytag reputation. I called and e-mailed Maytag, they expressed sorrow for my inconvenience.

On December 1, 2002, I purchased a Maytag Gas slide-in range #MGS5770ADB and a Maytag dishwasher MDB56000AWB at a cost of $1536.99. On December 28, 2006, about 4 years, I had to replace the electric control board for the dishwasher and now, the electric igniter on the gas range went out. I live alone and do not use these appliances on a daily basis. I think they should last longer than 8 years. I had Kenmore appliances for over 20 years and I should have not downgraded to Maytag! I will never buy Maytag appliances again!

I don't know if this is the right place for my complaint, but here's my complaint. I bought all new appliances for my kitchen 6 years ago, Maytag. The oven door on my double pane door is collecting dirt from underneath, to the point that it is so embarrassing. I contacted repair service to come out and look to see if the seal or something was broken. He said it's normal because the oven sits on a hardwood floor! Good answer, huh? Anyway, he told me to put a rug in front of it to help with the dust flying up into it. He also said he could take it apart and clean it, but it will only keep happening.

I have never had any kind of problem with a stove collecting dust and dirt in the glass. To me, a woman's stove represents how she keeps her home. By looking at this dirty thing all the time, it looks like I don't clean at all. Do I have a complaint or do you think it's just petty? I would appreciate a small suggestion or answer. I don't think I can have this ugly thing in my home much longer and I don't believe I should have to pay to have it cleaned every year. Thanks.

We purchased a Maytag Performance Range model #MGR4451BDW in 2008 and when we have the oven on the Stove top knobs will freeze up. In other words they do not want to turn in any direction, either off or on. We had Maytag repair men out more than once and they were unable to resolve the problem.

The exterior front glass panel on the oven door exploded, during the night time, while we were sleeping. This was Sunday night (5-2-10 ) into Monday morning (5-3-10). When we entered the kitchen, we were shocked to see glass all over the floor. It took over one hour to clean up the mess. The loss of one glass panel for oven door. model MERH865RA.

The oven on our old range stopped working. With it being more than 10 years old, we opted for a new one and chose a Maytag, with which I thought that be a good replacement. That is until the oven was turned onit emitted a very bad smell that might not have been so bad, except that my husband has C.O.P.D. and I have emphysema.

The user guide states that "odors and smoke are normal the first few times of use"; it also states that might kill some birds. When I told the lady at Maytag this, she said, "Birds! Not humans." I feel that consumers should be made aware of the oven odor. I realize that not everyone has breathing problems. No damage has resulted from this, but I still have no oven that I can use.

The bottom rack is charred. It looks like its been burnt. I'm afraid it will start a fire.

Maytag Range($1,400.00) front burner went out. Under extended warranty. Repair man (Twin City Appliance Shreveport,La. ) took 1 month and 2 weeks during Christmas, New Holidays to arrive. Fixed the problem but made two "nicks" in porcelain top and cracked the ceramic. Maytag says, it is my responsibility even thought they sent the repair man. Also, I had renewed extended warranty plan and now they want to penalize $25.00 out of refund because the last one expired 2 days before reported. It was reported on 12-5-09 and repair man arrived on 1-23-10. Damaged the top of Range. It took many phone calls, hours of waiting, writing a three page letter and registering ret receipt requested and they never answered and also the Twin City Appliance place never returned 4 phone calls I made.

I was without my range during the holidays 2009, I have kept immaculate care of range (not a scratch on it) and this repair man they hired and sent here damaged the top. Does not seem legal they can do this to a long time Whirlpool and Maytag customer. What can I do?

My husband and I built a new house 3 years ago, so naturally we decided to get all new appliances. I researched products and we decided to go with Maytag. Why not? Big company and well known, plus they had the double range that I wanted. We bought everything--range, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. I bought top of the line.

Lots of money invested in all these things and guess what--junk! I'm stuck with brand new junk. I've spent money on my dishwasher to be fixed sum of $300.00 and it never worked right that's until my husband fixed it. Now my range, oh yeah, that breaks on Christmas Eve with 20 plus people for dinner. Let's not forget the washing machine that's now acting weird. What do people do when stuff breaks call the company? Well, good luck with that because it's the worst experience that I've ever had with a company. I have already paid for someone to come out twice to fix my dishwasher and that wasn't done right. So I want them to pay for the service call and parts for my range. Guess what--they will not pay for a service call only parts. I would be okay with this if I wasn't stuck with all new things that keep breaking.

My husband and I have our own business and I would never treat my customers the way I've been treated. Never have I been so displeased with a company and its products. I'm mad that I've got about $10,000 in appliances and they can't pay for one service call! Come on, they're a billion dollar company--they need to get it together. I would start with the employees I was disrespected and talk to nasty. Good luck with A&E repair people because that's another whole problem. Maytag should get a better repair service! I feel as a consumer that I've been cheated out of my hard working money! I hope that at least one person will really look into other appliances and not get taken for a lot of money and left with things that keep breaking down!

I have a Maytag electric range MER 5770 AAW. I have run the self clean oven two times.

The first time the it was under warranty and I had to call to get the door unlocked. Dec 10 2009 I called Maytag as I had misplaced the single sheet of paper with instructions how to run the self clean feature. The woman told me to punch the self clean button and the lock button at the same time. I did so. The self clean cycle started. in less than an hour the timer button started screaming. Thinking the cycle was completed I punched cancel.

About 5 hours later the oven had plenty of time to cool and the door was locked. I called them back and was told it is out of warranty and I pleaded just tell me how to cancel the lock so I can open the door. The woman told me to punch the clean button turn the breaker power off and nothing opened the door. I was told it was my responsibility to keep my stove in good working order. T begged. I was told it was out of warranty and they would send a tech out as my Maytag refrigerator had a recall on a compressor part.

After they put the part on the frig dumps defrost water on the floor and water on the freezer compartment floor. It was just fine til they sent someone out to "Fix what was working" Now I must defrost ever 3-5 days.

This has been going on since April. They told me the stove part I need to get the door open is no longer available or for that matter any other parts for that stove. They offered to connect me to the sales department to see if there are any "deals" on new appliances.

I told them there is no way in hell that I will ever ever buy another anything with the name Maytag on it.

I am a school teacher and can ill-afford a $200 repair that I must pay to get my oven working again. I purchased Maytag appliances because of their reputation and feel they should be responsible for the cost of the new parts and the service.

Purchased a Maytag oven Model # mer5755aaw Series 12 / The outside glass exploded one morning, No one or thing was near the kitchen let alone the oven. Granted it is tempered glass, but had I'd been in there with my 20 month old which I am usually every morning, this could have been a seriouse problem! Maytag wants to send me the glass & I just want the whole door! Thanksgiving is coming & I need a simple solution!

This is the second Maytag appliance I have owned that the control panel goes out after a few years. My repairman can't even find a working one for my Maytag Performa Range (He has put in 3 so far). Poor design, poor product, expensive part, and no warranty. I'll buy appliances with dials next time.

Hundreds of complaints have been sited on line refering to this oven glass problem, but I can't find any reference to show that Maytag is recalling or reimbusing this product. I think the company should be made accountable. I can't use my oven and will have to replace the unit or its parts at my own cost.

REF: 24'' Single Gas Wall Oven with Standard Broiler Below Oven and Two Heavy-Duty Oven Racks: Stainless Steel

We bought from Sears, in 2003, a Maytag stainless steel convention range which cost us more than one thousand dollars and since from the beggining it seemed to me that something was wrong with it. Sometimes when I ignited the burners I would hear a small exploding sound and the flame would come out like a big flash, I got scared of being burned. Then it was the broiller, with the same sound; I turn on the broiller and I have to wait a long time for it to ignite; I do have to open the oven's door several times and then it is when it ignites sending out a big blast of flame and sound, and other times I have to shut it off because it will not ignite at all and I have to run to the grill outside to broill my food. Then the coil that goes around inside the oven's door became damaged from the heat, we called Sears and one of their contractors came, charged us $280.00 to change it, he looked at the ignition problem, didn't do nothing about it and went away while I had to deal with this very scary nuisance.I am not using the broiller anymore because two months ago I turned it on to ignite, closed the door oven and waited as usual for it to come on, and as usual I had to open the door several times but it still din't ignite; then, while I was at sink (which is very close to the range) I heard this very loud sound and suddenly the oven door openned and a flash of fire came out. I got spooked and the broiller is out of duty for know. Also, the bad part of this range is that says it is stainless steel and there is rust on top of the range and in the removable plates that cover it, and there are very small spots of rust through out the range's body. We are going to renovate the kitchen this year and I will never buy Maytag again... I think it is pretty said that some companies sell shoddy appliances at a high price whent their value and performance is very low.

We purchased a Maytag Range (Model #MGRH865QDW/Serial #13477333NE) in approximately June of 2008. Delivery was attempted on several ranges over a seven week period - they were damaged or dented and either never made to our home for delivery (the delivery company started checking them before wasting their time delivering) or were refused when they arrived. We contacted Home Depot (where we purchased the range)to see about exchanging our purchase for something different and they said we had to deal with Maytag. Once we finally accepted delivery on a range (which does have a small dent in it in the same place as all the others) we used it for approximately six months and my husband walked by one night and a spark came from the oven and it shut off and would not turn back on. We called Maytag warranty service; we were told we would have to wait four business days for an appointment; our appointment time was 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The repair man arrived, looked at the range for about ten minutes and showed us a wire that was not inside the range wall as it should have been and said that was our problem. He ordered a part and left.

Three days later he came back to install the part. Last month we were using the range and the circuit breaker went off; once we reset the breaker and turned the oven back on the oven would not shut off. We again called Maytag warranty service and made an appointment for five business days later (with the same 8-5 appointment time). The repair man arrived (joked about just being here); looked at the range for about ten minutes said our board went; orded a rush on the part and left. Three days later he came back; and installed the ordered part. August 26th I once again called Maytag warrant service with the same issue (circuit blew and oven will not turn off) and told that I could have an 8 a.m. to 5 pm. appointment for September 1st. I have spoken with all of the above listed people concerning this on a daily basis with the exception of Sunday. After the second repair they extended our warranty for one year. After the third repair they have offered $75 as cash compensation to offset food expenses. All of this was kind but I still have a broken range and have been inconvenienced beyond belief.

Under the warranty period (1 year from purchase), the ignitors on my gas cooktop stopped functioning and all 4 knob broke at the hub--the plastic simply cracked and broke off during normal use. Maytag said they had no record of my registration, but I have the email reply from them. I have to use a lighter to light the stove and have to use pliers to operate the cooktop.

When I called Maytag on Monday to inform them of this Explosion the young man I spoke to stated that they do not know why the Glass breaks but it does not happen often, I really got upset then and told him that they should inform the Consumer about this because if you have a small Child crawling on the Floor this could be disastrous, he apologized and offered to send me the Glass, I told him there is no Way I could replace that Glass and he agreed it would have to be done by a Technician, fortunately we bought an extended Warranty for the Range and they will send us a Technician out next Week.The Reason I am letting you know this is because I feel this is very Dangerous and the Public should be informed about it.I honestly expected this young man to say ma'm I never heard of this Problem before because we thought it to be bizarre Thing to happen but when he stated it does not happen often I realized that they must know about the Problem and did not inform Anyone.

Motors are all good, but any repair is so expensive as to force the client that fell for the brand, to replace the item with some non Maytag item.

In 2006 our stove ceased working. Under warranety we replaced the electrical panel on the stove. In 2007 this part broke again. We waited almost a year without an oven in an attempt to negotiate it being covered under warrenty. It was eventually replaced under warrenty. Aside from this I must mention that each time we still had to pay for service calls.

If this was not enough frustration my Fridge was on the recal list. We had Maytag come out to do the recal. Within two weeks the fridge stopped working. A repair man came out. Of course it was nothing to do with the recal so we paid to have it fixed on July 22. Now July 30 the fridge is broken again. Same problems.

I accept that these appliances are no longer under warrenty, however we are talking about a part that has been replaced numerous times. This part itself is virtually new. I asked the service repair man who was here if I should buy a new stove. He basically indicated that I should.

I had to pay for the firsr repair which was made just about 1 year ago.

Now the same problem has developed but with more severe problems. As the result of the control panel malfunctioning the panel is indicating the ovens are being turned on without anyone touching the buttons. The electric supply to the control panel must be disconnected, when the range is not being closely monitored, to prevent a possible fire.

I purchased several Maytag appliances in March 2002.Double oven wiring had to be replaced,hen the first time I tried to use the self cleaning feature t didn't work. This was replaced under warranty. The worste is my Maytag Z side by side. About 3-4 years ago I noticed rusting in the door around the water & ice in the door feature. I complained at the time and got no response from Maytag, but I did order Replacement parts for this area which never came and received no communication. Also I could not find a way to follow up. I really need a new freezer door for my refrigerator. I have heard some other people have had similar problems.

Our kitchen still smells like smoke, the upper oven in ruin. 06/07/2009 House filled with smoke. Carpet, furniture upholstry and carpet all had to be cleaned. We no longer trust this unit.

I am sitting at my house for the second day that is now wasted due to the incompetence of company. On May 11th, we were supposed to have a service call between 8am-12pm. THE A&E TECHNICIAN ARRIVED 2.5 HOURS LATE. Maytag told us that the technician would be able to tell us why our oven door shattered. THE A&E TECHNICIAN COULD NOT GIVE US A REASON.

Today, May 18th, we were told by company that we would be visited by the A&E technician between 8am-12pm. In fact, the A&E technician told us last week that, "we would be first on the list." At 12:15, I called and was hung up on. I called again, I was told, "...the A&E technician had a family emergency." I WAS NEVER TOLD BY A&E OF THE SITUATION.

After arguing with an inept supervisor who lacks listening skills, he relayed to me that, "the technician is on his way." When asked for a time frame, he told me, "I'm not able to give you a time frame." AGAIN, A&E CAUSED ME TO LOSE MONEY BY STAYING HOME FROM WORK IN THE WORST ECONOMY SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION.

My Maytag/Magic Chef Stove, Model#CGR3765BDC,Serial#10666498YD turned itself on while my husband and I were out. We were gone for about 6-7 hours and returned home to a very hot house that had a bleach smell. We could not turn the oven off, the panel displayed the numbers 6666, I burnt the tips of my fingers trying to touch the control panel, the oven was that hot! We did'nt know whether to call the fire department or the gas company. We called an emergency into the gas company, standing by, in case we needed to call the fire department.The gas man shut the gas and electric off to the oven. Now we don't have a stove or oven and I'm scared it will do this again, even if repaired. Also, this oven always baked hotter than what the temperature displayed, and we could never touch the top of the stove while the oven was on, without getting burnt. We always thought it was that way because, it has a chrome metal finish. Now, we realize something was always wrong with this stove/oven.

Now we cook in it only on special occasions and we have to be careful to hold the door so it won't fall off. Once we are done using it, we take the door off until we need to use it again. Thankfully it is just my husband and I so we are able to use a toaster oven to bake for ourselves. We have spent more money for service and parts than it is worth. After reading the stories, we will not repair it again. It will go to the dump. We are not in a position to buy a new one right now so we use the toaster oven which cooks much better than the Maytag oven. We can still use the cooktop.

Cleaned ovens and they never unlocked. Whatever happened burnt out the top front burner and now the temperture of both ovens just keeps going upup up so there is a oven in our kitchen that we are unable to use. I am very unhappy that you can not find anyone that knows anything about MAGTAG....which I might add is the WORST experience I have ever had in my life.

Plastic knobs on top of flat glass cooktop melt and crack. have replaced sixteen times. Obvious design flaw. Maytag blames us saying we are using pans that are too big for the burners, NOT SO! Offered us 15 percent rebate on purchase of new Maytag,Whirlpool, Kitchenaid, or Jenn Air. Appliance is 3 years old should have lasted 10-15 years at minimum, paid $650, new top $800 15 percent is $120 im out $530

I bought Maytag range and a Maytag combo washer/dryer unit. Both are approximately 2 years old and both are not working. Maytag has a 1 year warranty. When you call they say they made the warranty 1 year so they could lower their prices. They didn't lower their prices. Their products don't hold up, don't buy them.

Now I have to repair this darn pieces of trash at my own expense. Don't buy them!!!!

Purchased a Maytag Gas Range Model # MGR5755QDW in Jan of 06. Have used the oven but in the last year it has not been working properly. Finally have the repairman out and he says it will take about $400 to fix. After reading all the comments on this website, not sure I want to fix it. Contacted Maytag but no answer as yet. Will update if I hear anything.

I live in a fairly new subdivision in the Walker, LA area. The same one Shannon of Walker LA lives in. My wife and I were happy to be buying our first house together as we should've been. Then the other day, my wife was taken our kids to school and on her way out the back door she smelt something burning in our kitchen. She looked towards the stove and noticed the red indicator light was on. She walked over to the stove to find the cover to be burning. She quickly turned the burner off and removed the burner cover. It seems as though the stove had turned on by its self. The reason I say by its self is that we do not have the time it takes to cook breakfast on the stove in the mornings before school and work.

Then the next day or maybe the day after that, our neighbors house caught on fire. Caused by their stove. A Maytag Electric Range. Upon asking some other people in our neighborhood we found 5 or 6 more houses that had the same sort of thing happen to them, fortunately without the fire incident. We have contacted our builder and made them aware of the range. My concern is, what is Maytag going to do about their faulty equipment? If the same thing is happening to several different homes in our subdivision then there is obviously something wrong with the range in question. Has anyone else, other than us, had this sort of problem?

My husband and I purchase a brand new home with brand new appliances that were provided by the builder. We have been in the home for about a year and a half. Of course the appliances are made by Maytag. About 6 months ago we noticed that our oven started locking up, shutting off on its on and cutting on by itself. My husband checked the breaker and it had not flipped. So he cut the breaker to off and then flipped it back to on. Since the first incident it has happened a handful of times.

Well I get a phone call at work on Thursday 2/13/09 from a neighbor stating that my house had caught fire. Upon arrival, and once all the neighbors were checking on us, I found out from several neighbors that their stoves were cutting on by themselves and they were on high temperatures. Needless to say, the fire was caused from the stove.

I found out today that the builder had replaced another maytag oven in the subdivision because of electrical problems, but did they attempt to let anybody know of this situation, NO! So I am dealing with a partially burnt home and because of the fire, it busted my water lines that were in the attic. Now we also have to deal with that, on top of being misplaced and having to find a rental place to live for the next several months. I just want to know if there is anyone else that has had the same problems. Maytag Model#MES555BAB. Please help if you can with this situation.

my maytag oven model mer5775qab was not heating properly not only did the oven take a long time to heat but the oven didn't even heat up evenly

i contacted sears and the manufacturer and they did nothing but give me a headache

we bought a gas stove the elements have had to been repaired 4 times in three years. we are the only ones in the house so the oven in not used much. Plus the top burner areas look so dirty and scratched. we can not pay for the oven locking each time the elec. goes out. The oven light never has worked.

just two weeks ago the oven locked up again and we can not use the over. Nor can we pay for it. My husband like others has been med ill and lost his job. we need help to get it working. the maytag person went out of business.

Maytag oven MODEL# MER5755QAW made a loud pop noise then sizzle the only thing that works now is top burners. We replaced heating unit on the inside but it still does not work.

$250.00 replacement part and it still doesn't work! Have to buy a new stove.

In jan 2002 I purchase a Maytag washer and dryer since being from the old school they were the best and now it was my turn to have them. Most of my applicances have lasted a minimum of 10 yrs and some as much as 15yrs. However, my wonderful maytag washer is for the birds, unfortunately. I now have found out that the pride of Maytag has sliipped and the plastic parts wear-out much faster than they should.

For the past year or more my washer sounds like a locomotive going thru the house and I can't even put in a full load because of the slippage in the spin. I guess I'm writing to say goodby to maytag as we are now going to purchase a new washer, most likely Whirlpool from what the repairman says. Also I guess jennair, according to consumer reports isn't doing much better than Maytag. No longer will I recommend this brand for anything. I hope [they] will do better in the future and make a change to [their] current standards.

I am looking for any information on the fire hazard of proper use of the self cleaning 'feature' of the Maytag Range Model MERL752BAW. I have used the 'feature' twice, first resulting in a burned out element, and the second time resulting in failure of the unit, just before a fire began. The oven tripped the breaker, broke both elements, resulting in the melting of the wire lead to one element, scorching the electronics and insulation. Thank heavens we were home, and closely watching the unit, which resulted in our being able to avoid a kitchen fire.

Certainly we are not the only ones to experience this poor performance, resulting in a very dangerous situation, yet I don't see a reference to this product in Maytag's your Recall Information link.

bought maytag gemini double oven stove and have not liked it since day one. stove control was partially covered by the top cover being the wrong size. they did come out and replace it immediately. however, the stove is junky, just plain junky. it is hard to clean onutide and inside, lots of crevices to hide dirt and grease. the grates are cheap and the paint is cracking off. the burners heat unevenly, the burner knobs do not adjust the flames. the oven heat unevenly too, except the convection functions, which do cook as they are supposed to.

i have not used the clean function, and am now afraid to after all the fire reports. i bought this stove for the convection oven and the small oven- AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MAYTAG. OUTSOURCING AND LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL STRIKE AGAIN.

junky stove, scary to use, i want a jenn air, and maytag to take back their expensive item which does not do its job.

I have complained about the maytag stove twice about it going on by itself and twice they have come out to fix it! Well let me tel you its happening again and I would like for item to be recalled and sent a new one! No more repairs for me this happene at 9:50 pm I hear a beeping sound and stove went off on high.I went into the kitchen and shut it down!scared to use the stove now!please help me!

i called Maytag today to report it and they offered to send an inspector out to the house to see the appliance and determine what parts might need replacing but since we did not purchase an extended warranty that we were responsible for any repairs. i could have lost my entire house to this explosion and been seriously hurt. The first thing the operator asked me was if anyone or any property was hurt? Shouldn' Maytag be liable to replace this defective range? I also have a Maytag frig with electrical issues that seemingly can't be fixed....so all 3 appliances are having issues with two of them being serious.

By Thanksgiving, the oven could not be trusted to operate at the correct temperature at all, and by Christmas it simply quit working. I have spoken to 11 different people at Maytag, and only through sheer luck are they supposedly replacing it. However, after they promised to replace it on December 22, 2008, I followed up on several occasions and finally got through to someone on January 5, 2009, only to be told the the order was incorrect in the computer and it was actually going to be ordered today. Then, I asked them when the $150 compensatory check was going to arrive, they told me that I turned that offer down on December 19, 2008. Yeah, like I would turn down any compensation for everything they have put me through - all the missed work, the countless hours on hold, not being able to have holidays here . . . I simply don't know which is worse, their product or the customer service.

Because of the stove/oven not working and/or working properly, I cancelled Thanksgiving at my home. At Christmas, it simply couldn't be cancelled so I purchased a rotisseri, and borrowed a table-top oven and several extra crock pots so I could still cook. However, the entire menu had to be changed and was more costly since I had to purchase more prepared products. Some food has had to be thrown out because it wasn't cooked correctly and we have had to eat out more. Hundreds and hundreds of cell phone minutes burned on hold causing overages. Just the constant struggle of trying to find food that my children with special needs would eat that didn't have to be prepared with an oven (and sometimes stove top) has been difficult.

The ceramic cooktop is useless. Even on Day One, when I boiled water in a brand new pot which I had duly washed before using, rinsed carefully, etc., etc., with the repairman standing beside me witnessing the entire episode, the cooktop developed a hard-to-clean stain. The pricey stuff they sell for clean-ups is a joke; Softscrub works at least as well for a 10th the price. In the end, the kind local appliance dealers gave me a spare cooktop to put on the thing when I sell my house someday.

I have put the memory of the brain-dead Maytag help line robots because it was so unpleasant. After just a few moments, listening to the woman claim that she uses this thing all the time and has no problems keeping it clean, I must be an a88, it was painfully obvious they had no intention of doing anything to make it right. How could they? The product is an impossible design. Just 'burns me up' that you shell out the Big Bux to buy something that's supposed to be E-X to clean and end up with a clean-up albatros that is 50 times more trouble than the old way. Humph.

I bought the washer on 4/13/04. I had service calls on 3/17/05, 7/5/05, 6/29/05, 12/8/05, 5/15/06 & 7/12/06. All the service calls where because the machine was continually getting noisier. They would replace the electrical motor, the water pump, the milk stool, & the spin belt. I was told by one service man that he never bought a new Maytag and that his washer was noisier than mine. I finally gave up & lived with the noise and quit purchasing the extended warranty. The noise stayed pretty much the same until December 2008 when it soundedv like a jet engine. I replace the spin belt & idler pulley but this did not help.

I noticed the noise was extremely bad during the spin cycle and could be heard very clearly when the door was opened up during the spin cycle. I have never worked on a washer my entire life (56 y.o.a.) and proceded to take the machine apart with no instructions. I found the tub triple seal bearing was the object making all the noice. I purchase a new triple seal bearing & hub kit for close $90.00, replaced the bad parts & reassembled the machine. Now it is as quite as the day we purchased it. I believe I now know more than the service people know about this particular machine! Is it they did not know of what the noise was or was it too much trouble & time to completely take the machine completely apart?

I purchsed a new spin belt at $10.00 (cheap because I shop around), I made (I am a machinist since 1970) a new idler pulley out of aluminum instead of their cheap plastic (no out of pocket exspense but worth 1 1/2 hours of my time @ $50.00 p.h.or purchase price for a new piece of junk plastic idler pulley for close to $20.00, and purchases one triple lip seal & hub assembly for $90.00. I still need to purchase a new outer tub seal gasket (approximately $5.00 plus S&H) since the top of the tub is leaking.

I was told this is a normal replacement after the age and the handeling of the machine during repair of the triple lip seal. I was also told it might be a good idea to replace entire cover outer tub seal & gasket to insure no leaks. (prices range from $36.99 plus S&H to $62.99 plus S&H ) Somewhere around $165.00 in materials is where the end result will be and this does not include my labor or fuel costs.

3 Month Ago I purchsed a Cooktop Range from Home Depot. 3 Weeks after delivery item was installed and right from the scratch one of the ignitors for the natural gas was clicking as if it is trying to light up the gas. Home Depot suggested to call MayTag, who in its term handed me over to A&E Repair Center (let the nightmare begin).

Scxheduling available through A&E is terrible, they will give you a window of opportunity for the service call between 8AM and 7PM mostly during the week and will not even approximate the time then serviceman will be there. Saturday repairs are usually 4 weeks away. 1st call resulted in part being ordered (one day off at my expense). Second visit serviceman showed up on Saturday and called from the property and offered no chance to wait, left within 5 minutes without performing the service. Natural gas appliance not functionning properly and no one to service it. Where is common sense?

On December 19, 2008 my contractors installed my new double oven which had been purchased from Home Depot. The door was dented and creased, the top panel was gouged in several places, the top oven light blew out in my face; but the most serious problem with the product was that BOTH oven did not work. When the technician looked at the oven today, 12/24/08, he said that the parts were too new for him to be carrying them, and he would have to order them. The next time he would be able to come to my home would be Jan. 2, 2009.

My husband and I almost fell over with that remark because his repair company had called us about overnighting parts if needed. This repair company is A&E which is supposedly authorized by Maytag. We had asked Maytag to simply replace the oven because it sounds like a lemon, but Maytag said that we had to have at least 1 service call. We have had the one service call, but we are not getting a new oven. What does an ordinary person do in a situation like this? I have had to cancel Christmas dinner, and now I have to cancel New Year's Eve. Who can help us? Who will talk to Maytag on our behalf?

It is so terribly frustrating to look at a new, and need I say expensive oven, and know that it does not work, nor will anyone try to get it to work until Jan. 2nd. Please urge people to stay clear of Maytag ovens, especially MEW6630DDS. Also, Home Depot was absolutely no help. So everyone who is reading this, stay clear of purchasing anything from Home Depot. It's probably worth the extra money to buy from a little appliance store and get better service. Can anyone help us?

After 4 months in the home, my wife turned on the cleaning feature to our new range and the glass shattered. Maytag said there was nothing they could do to cover the warranty.

We have to pay for all parts and repairs

I too purchased a Maytag Gemini gas oven and range. We bought the stove in April, and by September we were having problems. The stove would not turn off. Best Buy told us they didn't care because we did not buy the extended warranty. Maytag did replace the control panel. It was obvious to me that this was a defect. I was right.

It is now December and we are beginning to experience the same problem. The control panel, at times, will not shut down. I have not used the self-clean mode yet. After reading what has happened to others, I am afraid to. The tech. is coming out tomorrow. We'll see what he says. Keep you posted. Should we all get together and file a class-action suit?

My husband and I both lost days from work. The last company called at the last minute and would not come out because it was snowing. School busses were picking up children at the time.

I purchased my home with the gemini stove double oven. It worked beautiful up till about 2 months ago. I heard some beeping sounds and I looked at the stove and the oven had turned on by itself. It will turn on at whatever time of the day and it concerns me very much. I have 4 children and the oldest is 18 youngest 6 yrs old. I cannot have them stay at home at all because I am afraid that something will happen. I try to turn off the digital oven buttons and sometimes it will not turn off.

My gas bill is very high due to the oven turning on by itself. I would like it fixed since it is a defect on the oven.

Built new house in March of 2005, picked the Maytag electric smoothtop range #MER5775QAW - and it recently died with a whimper It was always very slow to warm up - but last night it just wouldn't heat and with a loud pop the range no longer heats (neither does the broiler now). Cooktop works - and no error messages - but based upon they stories I read here - don't think I'll bother calling/paying for service and parts - it just seems a better plan to move on the something more reliable.

We bought our Gemini Oven in '04 (almost 4 yrs. to date). This morning our son called out, There is something wrong with the stove!

The ignition was off, but sparking as if we were trying to start the stove, but all knobs were in the off position. I could start the stove, but each time I returned the knobs to the off position, the ignition continued to act as if we had it in the light position.

Worse...the ignition or something under the knobs began to spark and we saw flames coming from under the knobs! There was an electrical short of something.

We unplugged the oven from the wall and turned off the gas. I am just glad we were home! A repair man is coming out on Monday as it is not covered according to Sears.

Model No - CGR1425ADW

I rent the apartment with this cooking range appliance. I am having a strange problem. The oven gets switched on automatically. It has happened 5 times in last 1 year. We complained each time to the land lord - who did not find any fault with the system.

Tonight the whole family was awakened with the smoke - CO alarm at 4 in the morning. The Oven had switched on itself again ! - the 5th time. We were saved just because of the Smoke alarm.

I need the unit replaced and I am going to complain to the NY city 311 - consumer services.

Carbon monoxide can be lethal and is not detectable by smell/color. It is just the smoke and CO detector that saved us tonight.

Maytag gemini, purchased spring of 04. I could just copy peggys of wintersville, OH. My new oven was not working well. The heat was not very constant ruining many of my dishes. The Maytag repair person came out 2 times, never fixing the issue, excuses(cycle times-need 3 before use and adjusted heat). This oven was a pricey one and got great Consumer Report Reviews (don't know how). So I was not going to settle and finally a Sears repair person came out and replaced the mother Board, finally it worked great. Now, summer 2008, the upper oven is not working (bottom does), it appears to turn on fine but will not heat up. After reading all these problems, not sure if I should waste my money to fix it. I have never before had so many issues with an appliance ( I have about 30 w/ rentals).

1st, could not bake for 6 months. Ruined many dishes wasting that food ($100-200).

Bought Maytag double oven, which after only 2 years is still not correctly calibrated, gaskets around windows appear dry rotted and actually came out of place within the first several months, AND now the circuit board is burnt up due to steam from boiling water on the stove top shorting it out.

$65 service charge for someone to come out and look at it....part will be around $250-$300, and another service charge to install, (3-4 weeks). Meanwhile, the holidays are coming up with no way to cook. :(

I own a Maytag MG95860ADB, a natural gas range/oven appliance. The appliance label indicates that is has received some type of approval from AGA. A delayed ignition accident happened that I believe was caused by a questionable design. The accident was a duplication of one on an earlier appliance I owned. Could you tell me to whom I should address the particulars of this accident and what I have found in examining the sequence of operation of the applicance?

Have a range that they have not been able to repair after 6 service calls and replacing same parts several times.

New stove 2 wks old computer burns out(for the oven.) Have not been able to us the oven at all. Refuse to replace but offered to repair on their time. My husband missed work to stay home for them to come out. They did not carry the part on the truck. They refuse to come out when we can be here. Can't miss work again.

The computer is a big deal and i believe they should just replace the stove. When I bought this stove it took less time to get it than repair it. We are still without an over and it has been almost four weeks.

In 07/07 I purchased a Maytag Range MER5875RCS for $1500.00 The oven temperature would vary by 100 degrees. Three service calls later they replaced the computer and the temperature probe. Temperatures still vary by 30 to 40 degrees. At 10 months, the 110 volt receptacle on the face of the stove required replacement. At 13 months, the burner on the cooktop quit working.

The only thing worse than this range is MAYTAG'S (WHIRLPOOL) service department. I have called the service department three times now. The company has done nothing to address the issues with my range. The company where I purchased the range has offered to buy it back for $500.00 A far cry from the $1500.00 I paid just a little over a year ago. The Maytag of today is not the same company it once was. I recommend that you do some research. Whirlpool owns Maytag, Amana, JennAir, KitchenAid and others. I will never spend another red cent on a Maytag appliance or any of the affiliated brands for that matter.

Our '93 maytag wall oven's key pad had to be replaced after 9 yrs of service. It had to be replaced again after 5 yrs. Now, about 9 months later, the part has failed again. Maytag claims the unit has met its life expectancy of 15 yrs. I don't agree and believe the reliability of the replacement part is the problem.

Replacing the wall oven's key pad is a $300 expense. I am reluctant to replace this part a third time when its reliability is certainly in question

My oven went out the las week of July and I call in for repair service . I had to wait a week before they could send any one out to service it I explain to them that my family was having a family reunion and that I need my oen repair. I also explain to them that my husband and I were Diebetic and that we do not eat a lot of fried food Well the repair man came a week later and put in a recondition part. He never check to see if the part work in just install and left . I tried to use my oven and it still did not work,ao I had to call for service again.

So when I call them they tokd me it would be another week before they could come out. The tech came out an rermove the part which he put in then told my husband that he would have to call MayTag to see what they were going to do, but he couldn't call them until Monday becaus they're not open on weekend which I later found out was a lie. When i call service dept to find out what was going on I was told that they were ordering a new part for the stove and that it would take maybe two week.

I have call both the service people and MayTag about this matter. I have been without my oven since the end of July and it is now Sept and I still don't have a working oven. So much for the quality of MayTag products & its service. If they sold MayTAg for $50 i wouldnt buy one or recknend anyone to buy one.

I love to bake so I bake and sell cookie, cakes, pies due to the problem with my oven I had to let my cutomers no that I wont be able to acommadate them until this matter is resolve.

Bought a very expensive Maytag Gemini electric double oven smooth top range in September 2000 from Sears. Since they I am constantly bombarded with F9-5 and F1-6 error codes. The computer clock panel has been replaced at least 3 times. Last night it went out again. The ovens won't preheat. Ovens dead. Is it possible there is a Lemon Law to have this useless range replaced?

Spend $200 per year for a service agreement solely for the Gemini range to keep replacing the computer panel to fix all the F error codes. Countless meals ruined because ovens are dead due to error codes. Mental stress for ruined meals. Mental stress for beeping error codes at 2 a.m. Mental stress for owning a Maytag range.

Maytag Neptune washer and dryer were bought approx 3-4 years ago. Have been having a oder, almost a burning oder, but could not detere the oder to be more prevelant. I have also been having a bad time with mold allergies. Today I read about Neptune washer and mold problems I am going for simple and cheap machines since workmanship and parts are poor no matter what you pay. When I have to replace I won't be so upset. And not a Maytag.

i have five kids and two of them are newborn my oldest is seven, i feel i got ripped off and maytag said if the pronlem is fixable they will fix it but if it is not fixable they will give me 15% off a new stove what is that nothing. I feel this stove is very hazoradus and it should be recalled.

We purchased this new Maytag Precision Touch Control 500 Electric Smoothtop Model# MER5755QAW at Sears four years ago. Today I was preheating the oven to 425 to bake a pie. I waited 45 minutes for the oven to preheat. It only reached a temperature of 210. I Canceled it out and tried again, no use it would not work. We shut off the breaker to the stove and retried it, nothing! The oven is not working. After coming online and doing some research, I found this site for consumers and have discovered that this has been a major problem for many of these Maytag appliances.

When will there be something done about this? This is a problem that has been brought to their attention but they still do not care about their customers. I'll NEVER buy another Maytag appliance. They're rubbish! and so is their Customer Service!!!!

This element had been replaced 2 years earlier because it was burned out???

What do you think??

I thought my entire house was going up in flames. Then to top it off, to replace the element and wiring and some other connection it was going to cost over $350.00...This appliance is just at seven years old and is used by 2 adults over 65 years of age?

our maytag stove door auto lock cycles like crazy until finally giving an F9 code dropping out the bake and broil functions.This occurred during the night when it when into its auto cleaning mode. I am a technician by trade of such equipment, kitchen and resturant.I found a bad control board. This is a 2000 dollar range and you know what? After reading the complaints, its going to the dump. Im cutting my losses now because it sounds like maytag appliances are really worth more at the scrap yard than they are off the assembly line.

cut my losses by throwing the range away. Lost original price paid, 1999.00

I have a Maytag range, MEM5750BAB, which was purchased June 26, 2006. In May of 2007, the Electronic Range Control burned out, and had to be replaced under warranty, parts, service call and labor included. June of 2008, the Electronic Range Control has burned out again, and the manufacturer warranty has expired. The ERC price is approximately $200.00. I have a $1000.00 deductible on my homeowner's insurance. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and $200.00 puts a serious financial strain on our budget. Maytag needs to build appliances that last longer than just a couple of years!

Consequence is we cannot use our oven at all, although the top burners still work. It would be nice to be able to bake/broil food again.

We recently purchased a Maytag freestanding range, MGRH865 for our new home. As soon as we began using the oven, it would not turn off. We saw smoke come out from behind the oven and had to unplug it to turn it off. The company that Maytag contracts to service their ovens told us that a screw went into a wire during manufacturing and burnt the board.

They sent us a replacement board and we scheduled a date for repair. Of course, we get a call (after waiting all day) that they would have to reschedule. I wrote Maytag a letter explaining that I want the oven replaced at this point, but I doubt that will happen. After reading all of the reviews, I just can't understand what is going on with Maytag. These are very dangerous situations that involve people's safety.

Not major to date. Days off of work and 2 months of eating out instead of cooking at home.

We purchased a Maytag electric stove at Home Depot in 2/07. After 2 weeks of owning it, I called for service because the stovetop was becoming dangerously hot, even far away from the elements. Hot enough that water would sizzle and evaporate immediately. Since I have small kids this really scared me, since even the edges of stove were hot enough to burn them.

Also, the oven door didn't close flush with the oven. The service people told me that the door would sit properly once I used the self cleaning mechanism. Now seeing all the other complaints about the doors blowing up, staining, etc, I'm glad I didn't.

The service folks said that the stovetop temp was normal. God forbid that I brush up against the stove while cooking, because it would cook me!@!!!

Now to top it off the oven handle broke off on left side...$100 for service call, not covered under warranty. Never Again will I buy a Maytag...I have an LG refrigerator and had to have them come out to service Ice maker and they ended up putting in a new shelf that my kids had busted. Same day service too...

2/04 purchased Maytag range #mer5755qwa. Thanksgiving Day 11/07 circut control board burned out. the top worked,but not the oven, broiler, self-clean. sp no dinner!! Ordered $200 part, installed, used oven 6 times, burned out again. Went online to see if anyone else had a problem..wow! the response about this defective stove is interesting. How can we consumers get a recall or compensated?

The part is $200 + to repair. I can not provide meals for my family. I will not spend $200 every 6 weeks. I am very disappointed with Maytag for I felt I was buying top of line product.

called ace to get parts for maytag range (also have maytag fridge, washer dryer, dishwasher), bought parts and found out i didn't need the handle, which came to $57.10.return to store to get refund, but ace co. would not refund money. by the way it wasn't anything to do with maytags appliances, i damaged the vent on the door. the part was unused and i was wondering how to get refund from this co? part no. 74003620. i feel that they should have refunded my money, they are a repair shop for all brands of appliances. but they will get no recommendations from me to anyone.

I purchase a Maytag Gemini double oven in 2001. It worked fine for a few years. I have had to put hundreds of dollars into stove and still cannot get it fixed. They put new elements in both ovens, and stated maybe it was the main board which would be $300.00. THe Board keeps beeping and saying call an 800 number for F1 or F3 service. No one can figure out what is wrong. I have to shut the breaker off to my oven to get it to quit beeping. The stove is not even usable.

Stove not usable and cannot get anyone to fix it. I also have problems with my Maytag diswasher. Damage is who can afford to keep putting money into the stove and hope it works or pay at least $2,000.00 to buy a new one. I will not ever buy a maytag product again. My parents swore buy maytag in their day, because they last so long. What does this say about the company being reputable?

In June 2006 we purchased a Maytag Gemini double oven stove as part of a kitchen remodel. In September of 2007 our electronic control panel would not let us shut off the stove. We had to trip the breaker to shut it off. It was repaired with a new panel (out of warranty). June 2008 finds us with the same problem, a control panel that will not shut off. Maytag says too bad. One repair I can accept. Two repairs of the same part in less than a year is a pattern. Maytag should be held accountable for defective parts.

For the third time now since we purchaced this oven, it has stopped working and displays the F1-1 Fault code indicating a problem with the upper oven sensor. After replacing both upper and lower sensor, the Fault returns after a day or so. The oven will not heat properly and both ovens appear to be affected. The first time this happened we pestered Sears until they actually replaced the oven. This persistant fault should be dealt with by the manufacturer.

3 separate repair procedures - each time costing at about $100 and one oven replacement. This stove breaks every couple of years. Its not reliable.

We have a 2 year old Maytag Gemini double oven (gas) that is a major disappointment. A year ago the touch panel for the upper oven broke so if pressed the oven cannot be turned off unless we pull the entire stove out and unplug it. We have experienced random clicking of the pilot light with gas smells and tonight while wiping it down experienced a fire! Some water got into it and flames were coming up from where the dials are. It was terrifying to see this on fire when dealing with natural gas.

This stove is not usable. Random sparks and fires are not acceptable and with small children in the house it's not worth the chance.

Apx 4 months ago we purchased a Maytag stove at Home Depot, the oven was not reaching above 250 degrees and the burners were not powerfull at all. So we called for service. After five service calls the stove is still not working and Maytag is not deeming this stove unrepairable, they changed many parts on it and it still does not work. We have not been able to cook since we bought it and i'm tired of it. Just wanted to know who can help me speed this process.

Every time a service call was scheduled the company's hours are from 9:00AM till 5:00PM so we had to lose five days of work and/or productivity.

I purchased a Maytag, electric 30 free standing slide-in range in 2001. July 03 after using self clean control panel broke. This was covered under extended warranty. Oct. 07, same thing. Took a month to finally get it results after terrible tech advice causing me almost electrocute myself. Again, last week, self cleaned the oven and now the control panel is out again. I can not get anyone from Maytag to return my calls this time. This is obviously a flaw in design or intentional flaw to require frequent, expensive part replacement.

This time, I have to shut the breaker off in between cook top usage as the control panel gets to hot. I need to cook to feed my family. Maytag does not care about any inconvenience or excess repairs of the same problem.

I too bought a Maytag Gemini double oven. Top oven handle has broke on the right side, and now botton oven handle has broke on the left side. We paid over $1200. We are two seniors with on children in the house. Have used the botton oven maybe 3 times since we purchased. pleased do not buy Maytag, after reading the reviews now I am scared to use the self cleaning feature.

Broken handles can be very dangerous while pulling out hot foods from the oven. I have sent emails to Maytag but no answers.

Used self clean feature on stove and it melted the door and draw of my cabinets. There was a recall in 2001 on my model stove for safety reasons. cabinets catching fire and posing a fire hazard. Maytag advised for consumer to stop using broiler and self clean feature until Maytag comes to fix. However according to Maytag's safety department my serial number does not qualify for recall.

Maytag will reimburse me for cabinet damage but tells me that cabinet company should know that their product cannot withstand heat from self clean stove. This stove is a fire waiting to happen. What can I do to resolve this?

In July 2006 we purchased a Maytag Percision Control 500 Electric Smoothtop Range Model MER5755QAW from Sears. After years of seeing the commericals for the Maytag man with nothing to do we thought this would be a good brand. Two months ago the oven stopped working. It wouldn't preheat past 100. The cooktop works, but the oven and self cleaning does not.

I called a repairman and he said I was the second person to call him within 30 minutes with the same range and same problem. He was going on vacation and couldn't get to me right away so I called Sears repair. The repairman came out the following week and said it needs a new control board for a cost of $400 plus the $50 I had just paid for a service call. THere was no way I was paying $450 to have it fixed when I only paid $469 for it new.

I have looked at a repair blog on the internet and was surprised at how many people have posted with the same range and same problem that I have. I contacted Maytag to see if there was a recall since there are so many people with the same problem, but they said no. I would like to know if there is a class action lawsuit for this product.

I seldom contribute to these blogs, but since we had such a great experience with our Maytag range I felt inclined to add my 2 cents. We bought a Model MER5755QAW ceramic top range several years ago and are VERY happy with it. It has performed well in all respects. The top is very easy to keep clean. We have had NO PROBLEMS.

We purchased a Maytag Electric Double Oven Range in December 2006. Last weekend 03/30/08 we put two TV dinners in the lower oven. The element began sparking, only part of the element was hot and it was red hot, sparking. My husband turned off the oven, the element broke at the point where it was redhot. We called Maytag and they did advise they would pay for the part but not the repair.

Anew oven that was purchased 15 months ago for over 1200 dollars should not have to be repaired. I too like all the others thought I was buying a very good product. Looks like the Maytag repairman is not as lonely as they state in the commercials. The repairman came early however he told us we had to order the part. This we did not know we were mislead by the Maytag service line. The part is 65 dollars. He says the part will be here in 3 to 5 days.

the problem is still happing thay came for more than 8-10 times thay cant find the problem what can i do please halp use

Unfortunately I purchased five new Maytag appliances 12/30/04. I have had ongoing issues with my washer and dryer ,but my main complaint is the range (MER5755QAW). After a year of calling Maytag because the oven would not heat correctly, they replaced it with another one that barely works better. Well, the oven just died today. I thought that when I bought Maytag appliances, I was buying the best; but was I wrong. I will never buy another Maytag product again.

The first time I used the cleaning element, on my one year old glass top stove, the heating element died. Maytag said it was past warranty so I hired a repairman, purchased the part and it worked until 3/5/08. Two heating elements in three years. Once again, after cleaning it the other night, it died.

I didn't think much of the smoke coming out of the back of the cooktop when the oven was on high until I read the website complaints.

My husband has work for 33 years, had to go on disabled because of a illness, know we have to go out and buy a new stove , we have to spend money in which was not in our buget. There products are not living up to there expectations. ( PS. I think there name has died when the Maytag Man died.)

I own a Maytag Gas precision touch 500 (model number mgr5755qdq) range which I purchased approximately 2-3 years ago. The oven lock feature would come on and blink and then occasionally go off. Then it would appear more frequently. The real problem started when I either could not light the oven, or if I was cooking in the oven the door would lock itself and the oven would NOT shut off. I would have to pull the oven out from the wall and unplug it. I had a serviceman come to my home, and he stated the control panel was defective. Being a two year old stove how could a major component of the stove break. I have researched on the internet and found similar complaints. I called Maytag to see if they would cover some or all of the cost, and I was told that since the machines are man-made anything can happen. So not only am I out a stove but also the $90.00 I paid for the service call.

I was told the entire control panel would need to be replaced at a cost of $441.68.

I was awakened by a frightening crash from the kitchen at 2:00 in the morning on January 25, 2008. Much to my amazement I realized that the front panel of my Maytag Model MEW5527DDB wall oven had exploded sending shards and pieces of black glass in a 6 to 9 foot arc around the kitchen. I couldn't believe it! This was especially puzzling as the oven had not even been used for three days. I filed a complaint with Maytag/Whirlpool online customer service on January 26, 2008.

Fortunately this happened in the middle of the night, as had someone been standing at the kitchen counter they would certainly have been injured, as the oven is mounted at eye level. Apparently the glass was tempered; however it all did not crumble. Many pieces were 1-2 inches long. When I began to clean up the mess I was dismayed to find that glass had found its way into dish cloths, towels, open drawers, dog dishes, the dining room carpet, the fruit bowl, etc. The entire area needed a thorough cleaning as naturally we were worried about subsequent injuries.

Today's date is February 13, 2008 and I finally made contact (after several emails, phone messages) with Marti, a Maytag rep. She was quick to answer my initial email but a bit slow to follow up. She did a good job in defending the Maytag product. According to Marti this is something that can happen whenever you have an appliance that has tempered glass. When I asked how many incidents have been reported, she said that was not information she could share with customers, which made me suspect mine wasn't the first case she had heard of. Frankly I was surprised that Maytag wouldn't stand by their product and replace the door free of charge, especially when the problem could have involved injury. This also made me suspect that they have received many complaints of this nature...too many to offer door replacements, especially when the new door might have the same problem. When I asked if, since this seemed to be a common occurrence, there was a warning posted somewhere on the appliance, she said that since it (the exploding issue) was a property of tempered glass,and not of the appliance itself, a warning wasn't necessary. When asked if I could have the oven door or glass replaced, I was told sure, but that I would have to pay for the service call and all labor. They would provide the glass and any other parts needed as determined by an authorized service dealer. Service call to assess damage - $60.00; Estimated labor to replace glass - about $200.00.

According to Marti, no one warrantees glass. It seems to me either 1) Oven manufacturers need to stop making glass doors, and/or 2)The tempered glass folks need to develop a safer product, as it must be ridiculously unstable. So, after just three years I am out the $800.00 or so that I spent on this oven. I will most likely replace the oven with a new unit without a glass door, IF I can find one which means I am out at least another $800.00. Once you have experienced this phenomena it really makes you hesitant to throw $$ into another glass door unit. And to top it off I don't really feel my complaint was taken seriously, or that Maytag really cared that I had a concern.

In December 2003, we made the worst decision of our lives. We actually bought all Maytag appliances for our brand new home. Since then we have become first name basis with our nearest Maytag repair technician. Six months after installing our appliances I ran the self cleaning on our Maytag Gemini Range. 20 minutes after the start the oven glass on the bottom door blew out. The technician I was referred to, told me that is what is supposed to happen. So I asked again, every time I use the self clean option the oven glass is going to shatter? After, that conversation and money to replace the door, I should have left all the appliances on Maytag's front door at their headquarters.

In Feb 2007 our Maytag side by side $1500.00 refridgerator stops cooling. Techs come and put in a new compressor and dryer. After waiting six weeks for the parts to come in. Two days later the refridgerator is room temp again. Another compressor and dryer and thermostat are put in. One week later the same thing happens. It is now Jan 31, 2008 and we have put in two more compressors and dryers and controllers. Just add up how much food has been spoiled in this time.

Then, on Saturday, I pulled the refridgerator out to clean under it and what do I find. It now leaks. The evaporator is not working. But get this, my hardwood floor and cupboard near the refridgerator is completely warped and wrecked. We then went down to the basement and looked up and noticed mold growing in the crevices of the subfloor. Called the techs, who in turn told us they have never in all their years of fixing appliances have run across this. The techs called the Maytag techline who in turn told them that they were supposed to put in a special conversion kit when the compressor and dryers were exchanged.

But that isn't all the problems we have had with Maytag. Out left front burner on our Maytag Gemini burns out every 30-60 days. I have had to have techs come in exchange the burners several times. We now only rarely use the the left front burner. And to top all this off the Maytag dishwasher started leaking, warped the hardwood floor (because I run the dishwasher while I am at work). The float stopped working, not to mention the handle has been broke since it was three months old. Bottom line. I will never buy a Maytag product again nor will I ever let someone I know buy one either.

Food was lost. Hardwood floor and subfloor need to be replaced due to mold growing from the leaking refridgerator.

About four years ago I purchased a double-oven Gemini Maygtag stove. It had performed acceptably until the handle to the top oven unit came off in my hand.

I spoke to Mr.Sparks regarding my Maytag stove because the the oven goes on by itself! Maytag was here once and replaced the part, but it still continues. Again I called Maytag and reported the problem and again they are going to replace the part. I am concerned that this problem will not end. This Oven should be recalled! As I am writing this the oven still goes on by itself and am deeply worried about this!

On a product I've owned for no more then 2 years, the 'control board' blew out.

My mother had her Maytag stove for over 20 years and never needed service. I had mine for 2 years and need a $385 repair (almost the cost of the range).

I bought a Maytag Gemini Double Oven about two years ago. The oven worked fine for about one year, then problems started. 1) right side panel of oven became loose and bottom disconnected from frame 2) front handle on bottom oven broke on right side.

This last week we noticed that the oven gives off a noxious smoke when turned on. Even after going through a cleaning cycle the over still smokes when turned on. The smoke seems to come from inside the frame.

So far, no help from anybody. The store says it's manufacturer's problem, manufacturer says out of warranty.

The board burnt out on my Maytag stove just after the warranty period. My bill was for $385 on a year old stove.

The baking element arced and burned up the back of the stove to the touch pad. It burned the circuit board out completely. Fire and smoke came out of the oven. Baking element is burned completely in half, and the bottom pan is burned. I called the local repairman and parts are ordered, Maytag will not pay for all the damage.

I spoke with Tiffany who is a supervisor, and she said they would pay for the baking element but nothing else. I reminded her that the damage was from the arcing baking element which is sealed as it is a self cleaning oven, and she stated she didn't care what damage was done--they would only pay for heating element. So I am stuck with a damaged stove and a large bill. I told her that I was taking further action, and she said go ahead.

The damage is a burned circuit board, burned and destroyed baking element, and damaged pan .The touch pad or oven does not work. This could have burned our house down or electrocuted me while standing next to it.

The automatic pilot started lighting itself, making the clicking sound like the gas was left on; and when I went to turn it off, it would not turn off, and then smoke was coming out the top like it was on fire. Although no flame was seen it was very scary dealing with this, with natural gas. I am currently waiting on the repair to be done. I may choose to purchase a new range, even though this one was purchased Feb. 2004, and I have never had this type of problem with an oven before EVER. Model is Maytag double oven Gemini.

My wife and I purchased all Maytag appliances for our home in 1994. Range, Microwave, Dishwasher, Refrigerator, Washer & Dryer. At the end of the first year the Range Model # CHE9800 started beeping while displaying the F-1 code. We contacted the local dealer where we purchased and Maytag. Since the Range was over a year old it was out of warrenty. Maytag agreed to provide the touch pad but we would have to pay for service call $60.00. This same problem has continued approximately every 13-23 months costing $200 parts + labor. The alarm goes off at all hours of the night making it necessary to disconnect the range after each use. Maytag admitted they had a problem with the touchpad but they were not going to redesign the part to resolve it. They just continue manufacturing faulty parts and let customers pay to replace them as needed. We have replaced the touchpad 5 times and the sixth one has failed. We decided to buy a new range this time. The Dishwasher and Washer are quite noisy and don't do a very good job of cleaning either. The Refrigerator's door squeaks loudly when opening with no way to repair without replacing the whole hinge unit. I will never buy anything made by Maytag ever!

Maytag Gemini Double Oven Electric Range Model # MER6755AAB is a no good. The coil in the bottom oven turned bright orange on one side, dark on the other side as it burned through like a fuse on a stick of dynamite. When it was done the coil blew up and caught fire. This range is not safe and the parts are next to impossible to obtain. Don't buy anything Maytag. They do not stand behind their products at all.

I am going through the Christmas holiday with no oven, no homemade cookies, no homemade dinner. Nothing until the parts arrive and no one can tell me when that will be.

I purchased a Maytag oven and during the first few days the paint started to come off and the heat from the oven discolored the control panel. The ignition soon gave me problems.The serviceman repaired the ignition problem and installed a small hood to divert the heat coming from the oven but handed me a bottle of appliance paint to touch up the spots where the paint has come off.

I'm selling my home and now have to replace the oven to attract buyers.

Each time I use the cleaning feature on the Maytag Gemini Range, I get an F1-2 fault code, which means Runaway Lower Oven; Replace sensor. How do I know this? It's because it's been replaced once already! This is ridiculous that each time the range is placed in cleaning mode, the senor burns out. I love the 2-oven feature of this range, but Maytag should do a recall or find out the problem. This is getting quite expensive to call for service each time you clean the oven. But once again, I'll be calling my not so lonely....Maytag Repairman.

Maytag stove, model MGR5775QDW, is dangerous. It turns on when leaned against. Small pots get caught and tip over, and I have been burned. I am lucky my clothes haven't caught on fire. I sent a registered letter to Maytag and received a form letter saying nothing in response. The oven controls turn off when you set the clock, and I had to call a repair man to get it turned back on for a Christmas dinner.

Using up a lot more natural gas resources, which in todays economy especially is not a good thing at all. Concerned about food safety so cannot make pork chops etc in oven as will cool down then heat up

I have a Maytag gas range Model #MGRH752BDQ. It was bought in October of 2005. When I use the oven or the broiler, the heat comes up through the front vent and melts the light switch on the front panel. The button is melting, dripping, and turning black. I have had a repair person come out, but he was not able to repair it because he said he had not seen this problem before and would call and email Maytag. When he tried over the phone and online he could not get an answer from anyone regarding how to get my range repaired. I called Maytag and was told to call a repair man--and was given the run around when I said I wanted results. I want the button on my range repaired and whatever it is that is causing this to happen, taken care of. I believe it is a fire hazard, and I cannot use the oven light.

I purchased a new Maytag oven and washer in October 2005. In July '06, my oven's ignitor went out. It was still under warranty. In October '06, my washer broke down. They had to replace the bearings and the transmission.

So much for dependable products.

If this was not enough, about a month ago my ignitor went out again and it will cost between $150 to $200 to fix. The about a week ago, my washer started making the same noise it did before it broke down. I called Maytag, but all they say is that I should have purchased an extended warranty!

I paid close to $1200 for both of these appliances. I could not afford an extended warranty, and I thought since they claim to be so dependable, that I would not have to worry about that.

My Maytag oven (4 yrs old) starting sparking fire inside the oven. The lower heating coil started to sparking with a very bright light like a welding rod. This started on the right side of the inside oven and burned over to the right side. While the sparking was burning on the right side, the coil was orange with heat on the left side.

This was all while the oven was OFF.

I have 3 Maytag appliances. The Gemini Stove has had a gas leak from day one. Had to get the gas company out to red tag it before anyone would do anything.

Then I got a Maytag dishwasher. Shelf broke 3 days after I got it. I had to pick up the part because it was the day before Thanksgiving and I was having 19 people for dinner. Then, 3 months AFTER the warranty wore off, my dishes were coming out dirtier than when I put them in. I called and they basically told me to take a hike, because the warranty was over.

Now I have an Ice 2 O French door refrig. Maytag again!! Two different repairmen at two different times were here already. One said it was the control panel, another said the motor. We are still waiting for parts and still buying ice.

I want to know, what are the chances, I have 3 Maytag Appliances, AND ALL 3 are LEMONS???

My husband turned on the self cleaning cycle of our Maytag electric Gemini range and it ran through most of the cycle but at the end made all of our lights in our house go crazy. He didn't realize that the oven was causing the problem, but then it took out our whole main line and breaker box into our house.

The top of the stove works fine but the oven will not heat higher than 100 degrees before the f1 code starts beeping. Sometimes in the middle of the night it will start beeping and flashing when nothing is on.

An authorized repairman said that both circuit boards would have to be replaced and they were over $200 each, not including his service call.

I purchase the Maytag Gemini Smooth Top Electric Oven and have had nothing but problems. After self cleaning the oven, the inside glass shattered. About a year after the glass breaking, I turned the oven on it started to smoke and it smelled as if wires were burning, the clock went dimmer and dimmer until it went out. I decided to get rid of it. I will never purchase another Maytag product.

This has caused an unexpected expense for a product that was thought to be a very good product.

Maytag MER5770AAW. I purchased this range July 8, 1999, (along with the Neptune washer/dryer, and Maytag refrigerator. The refrigerator was replaced immediately. Shortly, the dryer motor went bad and it had to be replaced. There was a recall on the Neptune washer and missed my chance to have it repaired, because I did not checked the e-mail. Then, late one night I heard this continuous beeping noise, went in the kitchen and the sound was coming from the key pad, flashing F1, I pressed the cancel pad to stop the process and was not successful. Called the Corp. Office with this problem, given instructions to unplug the stove for one hour, to clear panel by holding the control lock or call a authorized Maytag service, if these procedures do not work, nothing worked. It was defective in 1999 and Maytag should bear the cost of replacing and not with a Maytag Range. The range top works, but the oven is not working at all.

Maytag MER5770AAW. The electronic range control panel went bad after cleaning the oven. It looks like the vent just below the panel allowed the extra heat to damage the panel. After reading it looks like this is a factory design defect and would not be worth investing the money to just have it fail again.

We purchased a Maytag glass top range 4 years ago. One day while preheating the oven to make a pizza, it started making a strange noise. My husband opened the oven door & he said it seemed like a rush of air just sucked into the oven. After that the oven & broiler did not work.

We called the Maytag repairman who told us it would cost over $300 to fix. All the components for the oven were burnt out. He also said that a week prior he saw another Maytag that was only 3 years old & the same thing happened.

We spent around $700 for this stove. It should last longer than 4 years.

I purchased a Jennair gas range in August, 2004. Since that time the electronic control panel has failed 6 times, the last time being November, 2006. Each time the repair person from Maytag has made exactly the same repair, replacing the electronic control panel. When it failed in 2005, I filed a consumer protection claim with the State of Washington Attorney General's office. I reached an agreement with Maytag that if it failed again, they would replace the range.

However, when this in fact happened again, Maytag consumer affairs responded neither to me directly nor to the claims adjuster assigned to my complaint at the AG's office. My only recourse at this point is to sue Maytag in small claims court, which I will do shortly.

Maytag Oven Model #MER5755QAW purchased in 2004 oven door handle came off on right side. Bought from Sears. Contacted Sears and would not replace part. Contacted local Maytag authorized repair center. When they were given the information that it was a two year old Maytag oven the lady asked if I needed an oven door handle. Decided I would try to glue it back together (brass final is pressed into plastic for screw that holds the handle on) and went to Lowes. While I was there I walked by the appliances and saw a Maytag (gas oven) with the same handle broken on the right side. I called Maytag and they said there is nothing wrong with the handle and there are no factory recalls for them.

We bought a Maytag MER5775QAN smooth top range that was installed in May 2004. The oven door handle soon came very loose. It was reinstalled under warranty. The over door handle is again loose. In addition, there is quite a bit of dust between the front and inner glass, and some brown stains on the inner glass. It appears that the door has three panes of glass. I'm not quite sure if they are glass or some other material.

We have two Maytag Magic Chef ovens. The ovens have control panels that we have replaced repeatedly over the last ten years we have owned these ovens.

When the panel fails, the display shows an F1 error message and an annoying beep is emitted. Aside from disconnecting the oven entirely, the only repair for the problem is to replace the control panel at a cost of about $250. The replacement panel only lasts for a few months before the same problem arises again.

We purchased a Maytag Gemini Range (model #MER6875AAS) in Nov. 04. I love the range and have had no problems with the unit. We purchased the Stainless Steel model but today realized the edges of the range doors are sharp. My 14 month son was walking in the kitchen running his hand along the lower door handle when his finger was cut in the door vents behind the handle. We inspected the range more closely and realized he could easily be cut on all the edges of the oven doors. After 2 visits to the ER today for this injury I am not sure what I am going to do with my oven! I contacted Maytag and spoke with Corporate. They don't know what to do and will research it and contact me on Monday. I hope other parents review this and check their range edges before their children are injured.

Large cut on 2nd digit of right hand. ER attempted to seal the wound with Dermabond but unsuccessful.

Range with the F1 fault error. The part has been replaced twice, the last time in Nov. 05. The oven stopped working, the authorized dealer would not help. In June 06, the FI fault happened AGAIN! The company insisted that the warranty was not valid because the stove is old, they would not admit that if the same exact part breaks down over and over, it is not an age issue, it is the part! I cannot use the oven at all, it won't heat over 250. I wrote to the CEO, got a call from someone who I have called back 6 times now. They keep their phones on voice mail all the time. Too many other choices to bother with this company.

We bought the most expensive smooth-top Maytag Gemini range two years ago. I have had no problems with it until I used the Self-Clean for the first time. It was set to clean for 3 hours and at some point in the cycle, I heard a loud pop followed by a series of pops, then the inside glass in the bottom oven door shattered in millions of pieces.

The oven was beeping, had F-9 error code and a phone number to call. I called but they wouldn't talk to me until I could tell them the exact day in April of 2004 that I purchased the stove. I found that and they said it was not under warranty. I was livid!!

I had never used the Self Clean, and I followed the directions exactly. It was obviously a defect. I couldn't even use the top oven because it is on LOC. I looked on the internet and found that this has happened to many other people.

We moved into a brand new development in August of 2002. The builder used all Maytag appliances in all of the 200 homes in the development. In June of 2005, we began to notice that our gas range oven was not heating properly. We would set the temperature and would find that it would take almost an hour to get up to 200 degrees. We called Maytag, they told us that the range is out of warranty and what the cost would be. We decided to shop around and ended up going with a local appliance repair company.

They came out and determined that the bottom oven ignitor was bad. They replaced it at a total cost of $175. A few weeks later, we found out that MANY of our neighbors had been having the SAME problem with their ranges! Calls to Maytag basically put us all through the 'run-around'. Now, July 2006, just one year and one month after having the ignitor replaced the first time, it appears that I am having the same problem, AGAIN! It is absolutely absurd that a 4 year old oven needs to have the ignitor replaced TWICE!!! In my opinion, this oven is defective and should probably be recalled.

Bought the Maytag Gemini Gas range on 11-23-2004 and used it until 8-05 when the upper igniter, in the upper oven, burned itself up, smoked up my house and threw the breaker. New igniter replaced and the service rep suggested the Extended Service Warranty because they have 'had problems'. Did that.

On 11-18-2005, the upper oven burned up, threw the breaker and smoked up the house again. Called repair and they replaced the Electronic control board and igniter AGAIN.

4-10-2006, the lower oven did the same thing. This time there is a silver, sparkling residue on the oven and the oven was on CLEAN when this happened. Oven did NOT clean even though it went through the lock, etc. Called Maytag, asked for a replacement but got a service call. They replaced the electronic control board.

4-12-2006, I am cooking on the stove top and the oven turns itself on (digital) and goes up to 450 then down to 150 and back. Called Maytag furious and the surly woman told me that the would not replace my oven until it had a service call 4 times on the SAME component and that she would not consider this time because they had just been out 2 days ago. I told her that it was a different oven and different problem.

Now service can't come out until 4-17. We are scared of this oven and want a new oven, another brand.

The oven vents along the top of the stove ave discolored when it was self cleaning . It was not terribly dirty and was set to clean 3 hours which it did but all the vents have turned a rusty yellow. I have tried several cleaners on it but have found nothing that works. I have always thought of maytag being great appliances but now I am wondering if this is happening . It is a glass top, top of the line appliance.

I bought a Maytag range in November 2004 I had trouble with the oven not heating properly. I called the repair service he came out and did a reading of the oven and told myself and my husband there was nothing wrong. The oven still does not work right so I called again for another service call he came out and did the same thing he did before still not working. I called the store and I told them I was not happy with the stove and that I wanted them to replace it. They told me that the service men were very capable of fixing the problems so they came back again.

Now the warranty is off and my stove does not heat properly and I am not able to use my oven. I called again now they tell me that I have to pay for a service call. I am not willing to pay anything to have this problem solved they were out here 3 to 4 times and did nothing to fix my stove. I don't feel that it is my responsibility .They should have fixed it. I called the store and wanted to talk to a manager but did not get a reply he told the saleslady to tell me that he could not do anything. I am so upset that Sears will not stand behind there products they sell.I have bought all my appliances that I have right now from Sears I am a good customer just wanting my stove repaired.

Maytag gas range Gemini ModelMGR6772BDQ purchased Sept.2003 from a Sears store has been used daily with no mishap until Nov. 30, 2005 when the upper oven door literally exploded without any impact or any type of misuse. The door fronts we learned are made of a heavy safety glass and can suddenly break and disentegrate into small crystals with no obvious reason. This happened about ten minutes after a normal oven use during the cool down.

Glass was thrown up to ten feet away and covered a large area of the kitchen floor. I was just about to go to the oven and open the door when the "explosion" occurred and there were no injuries. Maytag is going to replace the door front and refused my request for a complete exchange of the entire door. My first request was for a new range but did not really expect that could happen.

My wife and I are now reluctant to use the range ovens and knowing that the bottom oven also has the glass exterior makes us cautious about looking into the oven through the glass door window. We were never informed that the doors were made of a heavy safety glass and to all appearances we assumed that they were made from porcelain enameled steel as every other kitchen appliance we have ever owned. The owner's manual has no information or warnings on this.

I purchased a smooth top range from Lowe's and the very first time I turned it on it burst into flames (this was not a gas range) because of incorrect wiring inside of the range. Lowe's was very good about coming out right away to replace the range. The second range (same model)seemed to always get too hot when we used the oven and the paint on the outside of the range began to peel off and rusting.

After one cleaning of the oven it started beeping, the lock light remains on and the oven no longer works at all with various F3, F1, F9 error messages flashing. I called to get service on the range and was informed that even though Maytag has had this problem with their ranges for YEARS, they have not corrected the problem nor have even TRIED to correct the problem. This was the most expensive range out there when I purchased it and for the money it should have been practically lined in gold at the most and at the very least better than any other range on any market anywhere; of which neither is true!! Okay, the gold part is an exaggeration!! However, the lack of quality and safety is not.

I purchased a Maytag range/oven, model MGR5730BDW in September, 2002. In the last month, the auto pilot light has been operating sporadically in the oven. One more than one occasion, it has not worked, filling the kitchen with natural gas and forcing us to evacuate. I contacted Maytag who said since I did not purchase the extended warranty (why would I need an extended warranty on a product less than 3 years old), it would cost me $130 for someone to come out to look at the oven plus labor and parts.

It was interesting in that the customer service rep, when I mentioned a malfunctioning pilot light, describe the problem back to me before I had a chance to explain, which leads me to believe I'm not the first who's called. Not satisfied, I e-mail their customer service department. The respondent said they had a "fix it yourself" feature where they could provide info on how to fix the problem. Fix a natural gas problem in the oven myself? I don't think so. I will never buy a Maytag product again. I'm having a non-Maytag repair service look at the problem.

I have a maytag range MGR5745ADW the ecu had to be replaced when new. Now I've run the self clean mode and the ecu unit displays F1 and by all indications needs replaced at a cost, for just the parts, of 160.00. Is this the price I must pay for a clean oven? This range is only 4 yrs. old. How's that for reliability? I will never purchase another Maytag appliance.
