Maytag stove warranty coverage overview
All new Maytag stoves come with one year of full coverage, which includes parts and labor for repairs and replacements. While there are no specific part exclusions, parts must be Maytag branded, and there are general exclusions. Some Maytag appliances include five years of coverage for parts and labor, but stoves don’t have this added protection.
Maytag’s warranty also includes 10-year limited parts coverage, which begins on the purchase date and extends the initial warranty by nine years. However, it doesn’t include labor, so you’ll pay out of pocket for labor after the first year. The limited warranty only covers the following parts:
Coverage for electric stoves
- Glass ceramic cooktop breakage caused by thermal expansion
- Electric surface elements
- Electric bake/broil elements
- Cavity, but only related to perforations from rust or failed welds
Coverage for gas stoves
- Burner grates
- Gas surface burners
- Gas bake/broil elements
- Cavity, but only related to perforations from rust or failed welds
The coverage you get for ranges and wall ovens is similar, but you won’t get protection for parts that aren’t applicable, such as the oven cavity for a cooktop or burner grates for a wall oven.
Optional Maytag extended warranty
In addition to the warranty coverage that’s included with your new stove, you may opt to buy a Maytag Service Plan through Whirlpool, Maytag’s parent company.
A service plan is similar to a home warranty but only pertains to a single appliance. It can extend the stock coverage you get and add extra protection for the original parts needed for proper functionality.
| Type of coverage | Coverage begins | Length of coverage | Covered | Not covered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First-year warranty | Date of purchase | 1 year (5 years in some cases) | All parts and labor | Consumable or removable parts, such as oven racks |
| 10-year limited warranty | Date of purchase | 10 years | Glass cooktop, surface elements, bake/broil elements, cavity* | All other parts |
| Optional service contract | Upon enrollment (before oven is 7 years old) | Customizable | Most parts and labor | Cosmetic damage and parts not required for functionality |
*Some covered items come with important exclusions related to the cause of damage, such as glass cooktop breakage caused by impact, and cavity issues unrelated to rust or failed welds.

Maytag stove warranty lookup by model
Some warranty information can vary based on the particular appliance you have, especially since coverage differs between gas and electric stoves. Here’s a quick guide on how to find your stove’s model and serial numbers so you can submit a claim against your Maytag warranty.
- Locate your model number and serial number: First, you’ll need to find the model number and serial number, which should be on your appliance.
- Gas/electric stoves: The numbers will either be on the interior rim around the cavity, visible when you open the door, or on the top of the bottom drawer, visible when you pull out the drawer.
- Gas/electric cooktops: The numbers may be on a plaque integrated into the top of the cooktop, or underneath the cooktop.
- Gas/electric wall ovens: The numbers will be on the lower left side of the frame, visible when you open the door.
- Find your original proof of purchase: Next, locate your proof of purchase. This may be a physical receipt or a digital receipt or invoice, which could be in your email.
- Confirm that your stove is still under warranty: Check to make sure your stove is still under warranty; that means it’s been less than a year since you purchased it, or fewer than 10 years if you’re having an issue with one of the items covered by Maytag’s extended parts warranty.
- Use the Maytag warranty lookup tool: Enter your model number into the Maytag warranty lookup tool to confirm coverage.
- Confirm that you registered your stove: Check the status of your product registration online. If you registered your appliance previously, you can track the status online. If you haven’t registered, consider doing so to access online tracking.
Maytag stove warranty repair and service
When you need to file a warranty claim for your Maytag stove, ensure you have the following documentation accessible to get coverage and expedite a repair or replacement:
- Your name, address and phone number
- Your stove’s model number and serial number
- A detailed description of the issue you’re experiencing
- Your original proof of purchase, which must include the name and address of the dealer or retailer.
Once you’ve gathered everything and confirmed that your stove is still under warranty, you can file a claim by scheduling service online or calling 1-844-667-7017.
Maytag always uses certified technicians for repairs, as well as genuine parts when it can. If the company is unable to find a suitable replacement part, it may opt to replace your stove instead. All new parts and units will fall under your manufacturer’s warranty for the remainder of the original term.
During your service call, you should expect a technician to inspect your appliance and determine the underlying issue. They should then inform you whether or not your warranty covers the problem. If it doesn’t, the technician should provide a written estimate for the repair, which you can pay for out of pocket. Alternatively, you can check to see if your home warranty covers the issue.
FAQ
How do I know if my stove is still under warranty?
You’ll need to check your warranty documentation to see the coverage term and then compare it to your date of purchase. In some cases, manufacturers offer tiered warranty coverage, so be sure to check the term and what’s included in each tier to determine if you’ll have to pay out of pocket.
What Maytag appliances have a 10-year warranty?
All Maytag appliances come with a one-year warranty covering parts and labor, as well as a 10-year limited warranty that covers certain major components. Some washers, electric dryers and gas dryers have a longer, five-year term for the first tier, meaning Maytag will cover parts and labor for five years rather than one.
Is an extended warranty worth it for Maytag appliances?
An extended warranty can be worth it for Maytag appliances, but it really comes down to your ability to save for repairs or replacements on your own. In many cases, an extended warranty or service plan doesn’t necessarily provide any financial benefit. However, you could be one of the less common cases that saves thousands on major repairs. Even if you’re not, the peace of mind an extended warranty provides can be worth it for some homeowners.
Do home warranties cover stoves?
Most home warranties either cover appliances or home systems, so many home warranty companies will at least have one plan that protects your stove. Check your contract for information on which components and underlying issues are covered.
