The Maytag warranty covers parts and labor for one year. Some appliances have additional terms:
- Dishwashers have a one-year warranty and a 10-year warranty for the stainless steel tub, nylon racks and chopper.
- Dryers have different warranty terms tailored to different models and manufacturing dates. For clothes dryers made after 2017, there's a standard one-year limited warranty and a 10-year warranty for the drive motor and dryer drum. Some Maytag dryer models have an extended five-year warranty covering all parts and labor.
- Washers made after 2017 have a 10-year limited warranty on the drive motor and wash basket and a one-year limited warranty for parts and labor. Some models come with a five-year parts and labor warranty instead of a one-year warranty.
- Ovens have a one-year warranty and a 10-year warranty for cooktop burners and elements, ceramic tops and grates, bake and broil elements, and burners and the cavity.
Maytag coverage exclusions
It's important to know that there are certain conditions under which Maytag might not honor the warranty for your appliance. Your warranty claim could be denied if:
- The appliance's model or serial numbers are missing or have been tampered with.
- The damage to the appliance is due to causes other than regular wear and tear.
- The claim relates to cosmetic issues like scratches or rust.
- The repair or replacement needed is for smaller parts of the appliance.
- The claim includes costs for transporting your dishwasher to and from a repair shop.
Maytag extended warranty
The Maytag Service Plan can extend your warranty coverage for up to five years. If your appliance can’t be fixed, Maytag will replace it if you’re an extended warranty customer.
Maytag extended warranty cost
The cost of your original Maytag warranty is folded into the cost of your appliance. You’ll need to sign up for a Maytag Service Plan to take advantage of extended warranty coverage. The ConsumerAffairs Research Team gathered quotes for various appliances and found that you can expect to pay around $50 for one year of the Maytag Service Plan.
What to consider when buying an extended appliance warranty
It makes sense to weigh the cost of an extended warranty with the price of a potential repair or replacement. For a typical appliance repair or replacement, you can expect to spend anywhere from about $100 to several thousand dollars. Considering that the Maytag Service Plan is so inexpensive, adding it to your appliance’s coverage may be worth it for you.
Pros and cons of Maytag warranties
Maytag offers a 10-year parts warranty on some parts. Very few appliance companies provide this kind of coverage. Unfortunately, some of the limitations and exclusions may prevent your claim from being accepted.
Pros
- At least a one-year part and labor warranty on all models
- 10-year warranty on some parts
Cons
- Scratches, rust and smaller parts are not covered
- Doesn’t cover pickup or delivery if your dishwasher needs to go to a service center
How to maximize your warranty coverage
These tips will help you get the most out of your Maytag warranty:
- Record warranty expiration dates: Jot down the expiration dates of your warranties to ensure you don't overlook them.
- Be mindful of exclusions and limitations: Familiarize yourself with what's not covered under your warranty. This helps avoid surprises when you need a repair.
- Consider a home warranty: If your manufacturer's warranty is nearing its end, consider a home warranty for broader coverage.
- Compare extended warranty vs. repair costs: Weigh the cost of an extended warranty against the price of potential repairs. This can help determine if the extended warranty is a cost-effective choice.
Home warranty alternatives
Your Maytag appliance has a limited warranty covering parts and labor, which is great for initial peace of mind. But a home warranty could be a valuable addition if you're looking for broader coverage. Unlike the limited warranty, a home warranty extends its protection to other systems and appliances in your home, providing coverage that goes well beyond the scope of the Maytag warranty.
When considering a home warranty, it's important to remember that each claim will require a deductible. The good news is that these deductibles are often much lower than what you'd pay for a repair out of pocket.
