    This machine is almost new. We attempt to use it every few months. Each episode is a challenge. Will it start today or not. Perhaps one in 4. Will it clean? Absolutely not as it has no agitator. It just hums a lot and cleans nothing.

      I purchased my washing machine in November 2025. By February 2026, the machine started making a loud noise, so I contacted Home Depot, where I originally purchased the appliance. They sent a technician to inspect it, and he informed me that the machine needed to be replaced as soon as possible. When I contacted Home Depot again, they advised me to call the extended warranty company because I had purchased an extended warranty plan. However, when I contacted the warranty company, they told me that I needed to speak directly with the manufacturer. At that point, I became confused about who was responsible for handling the issue, and unfortunately, nothing was done until the washing machine completely stopped working in March 2026.

      I then contacted the manufacturer company again, and they sent a technician from Flamingo Appliances to repair the machine on April 14, 2026. At that time, I was informed that the lock system was broken. However, only four days later, on April 18, the washer stopped working again. Another technician came on April 27 and determined that the water pump was broken and needed to be replaced. I was told that the part had to be ordered, so I needed to wait. Then, on May 1, another technician came to inspect whether there was any object stuck in the water pump because the warranty company initially questioned whether the repair would be covered. The technician confirmed that there was no object causing the issue and advised me to continue waiting for the replacement water pump.

      In addition, I was later informed that the electrical panel also needs to be replaced, and I am still waiting for that part as well. Today is May 12, 2026, and I am still waiting for the repairs to be completed. I have now been without a functioning washing machine for approximately two months. Because of this ongoing delay, I was forced to purchase a used Samsung washer just to meet my family’s basic needs. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of urgency, communication, and customer support from Maytag and the warranty process overall. This situation has caused significant inconvenience and frustration, especially considering that the appliance was purchased only a few months ago.

      Spent over $2,000 on a brand-new Maytag washer and dryer set in October 2024 thinking I was buying something reliable. Fast forward to April 2026 - barely a year and a half later and conveniently SIX MONTHS after the pathetic 1-year warranty expired - the washer completely self-destructs. Needed a new main wiring harness, top lid latch, water pump, AND main control board. Absolutely unbelievable.

      This is hands down one of the biggest pieces of garbage appliances I’ve ever owned. Over $1,000 for the washer alone and it couldn’t even survive two years without a catastrophic failure. Cheaply made junk wrapped in a shiny logo. And honestly? It was terrible even BEFORE it broke. This “high-efficiency” washer is apparently so obsessed with saving water that it forgot its actual purpose is cleaning clothes. Even on MAX FILL there was never enough water to properly wash anything. Clothes constantly came out covered in white lint residue and detergent deposits. We had to add a second rinse cycle to EVERY load just to make it somewhat tolerable - and even then the clothes still looked dirty half the time.

      The best part? There are reviews ALL OVER the internet from people complaining about the exact same issues. So clearly Maytag knows these machines are trash and keeps selling them anyway. Maytag used to have a reputation for quality. Now they’re just overpriced disposable appliances built to fail right after the warranty expires. I will NEVER buy another Maytag product again and I’ll make sure everyone I know avoids them too.

      I bought a Maytag washer with the pet hair cleaning system. Sounded good as I have 3 GSDs. The problem is it does not, under any water level settings, add enough water. After putting a small amount in the tub it starts agitating while adding water. This is supposed to be the soak cycle but less that 1/2 of the clothes are wet during this. Eventually it start adding more. When it goes to the wash cycle, same issue, not enough water. After agitating for 5 minutes the clothes on top are still on top and are not wet. At the end of the wash cycle they are wet but still on top. Rinse is the same problem. My clothes are not getting clean and the soap is not being rinsed out even with the extra rinse.

      The problem seems to be some pin head decided how much water I load needs. Even on MAX fill, not enough. Since when does some engineer type tell me what I NEED. The auto, med, high and max setting are the same not enough water. I spent close to $900 for a washer I need to babysit with a hose from the faucet to add enough water. And seeing that this "smart" machine is so slow to do anything, I'm required to monitor so I can add the water when it starts a new cycle. Like I have nothing better to do with my life than to compensate for a poor design. One pic is 5 min into wash, the other is after it is done but before draining.

      I wish I did my research before I bought the Maytag brand now I realize by reading all the horrible reviews with a horrible and despicable company. They actually are. My brand new washer within three loads, leaked into damage to my house. That’s a problem but the real problem is how they treat you. They send a service person out over a week later. Tell me they have to order parts for my brand new machine now a total of two more weeks without a washer and having to do my clothes elsewhere all because I had to buy a piece of junk Maytag. Their customer service is absolutely despicable. Whatever you do do not buy a Maytag brand.

      We have had our Maytag washer for less than 3 months. It is currently broken with the lid locked and wet clothes inside and no way to open it. Since the first repair was only 2 weeks ago, I called Maytag and asked for a replacement washer so we didn’t need to repeat this process every 2 weeks for the remainder of us owning the machine. The representative told me that they will not replace it until they have determined it is not usable. I went with Maytag because I had heard that it was a quality, long lasting appliance. This machine has proven that to not be the case.

      I have a Maytag washer and dryer since 2021. I had the washer for 3 months and it stopped working. It needed a new computer board, yet Maytag would not replace it but had multiple repair visits before the board was replaced. It lasted a month and broke. I had to go to the coin laundry for six months before Maytag would replace the machine. Had the new machine for six months and same problem...for months back at the coin laundry. A family of six it became quite pricey not to mention the inconvenience. They finally replaced my Maytag lemon the second time. It has been seen four times by a Maytag repair technician since.

      I purchased an extended warranty. One should know Maytag is not Maytag, it is Whirlpool, something I did not know when I made the mistake purchasing a Maytag. Speed Queen is actually the original great Maytag, the name was sold to Whirlpool. When this lemon breaks again, and I am sure it will, I am getting a Speed Queen. I hope this helps buyers, don't make the mistake I made trusting the Maytag name. Also, they are so terribly difficult to deal with, they don't care!!

      My Maytag washer does a fine job of cleaning clothes. The problem is there is no removable filter to clean lint and dirt that may not be removed in the water. This is a major deficiency in this model. Before you buy, make sure there is a removable filter in the washing machine.

      This products are nothing but garbage. Only had this Maytag products for 1 year and had nothing but problems with them. Washer and dryer. Now that my warranty expired 1 year the company won't do anything. This is nothing but a rip off and stealing customers' money with selling us a products that only last for 1 year. Never will I buy this brand again and I will be sure that no one will buy your brand and products.
