Maytag Washers & Dryers Reviews

I run the maintenance department at a rental community in northern Kansas City Mo. We built seven new apartment buildings and purchased over 100 of the Maytag commercial washer and dryers. We’re having problems with the commercial washers specifically MVWP586GW0 getting stuck in drain mode and have had to replace the circuit boards. On about 20 units right now. And I have 5 more scheduled for service at this time. Yes, they are under warranty but to go through that process is extremely time-consuming when you’re on the phone for one to two hours to try to schedule something and then they come out in two weeks look at it and Say that they need to order a board and then come out another two weeks later with the replacement board. “So typically four weeks to repair.”

We have a Maytag Bravos MCT washing machine (impeller model) that has been nothing but problematic. We have owned the washer for 4 years. It worked great for about the 1st year. Impeller came loose a few times and suspension rods are absolutely shot. Cannot spin a load without wanting to take off into the stratosphere. Manual adjusting is required to balance the load, and can often take many spins to get it balanced just right. The cost of the repair is not worth the money. We will never buy another Maytag.

We bought the washer and dryer pair 2 years ago. Dryer is great, no issues! The washer on the other hand is just plain crap! First and foremost why have a heavy duty washer with a massive basin to barely fill it to get the clothes wet! There have been times I've taken clothes out of the washer and there are dry spots on the clothes! On the max setting WITH the extra rinse! 2nd forget a quick wash, it doesn't put enough water in or agitate long enough to dissolve the laundry pod. And 3rd it is so noisy matter what it's doing spin, wash, etc. We have to close the laundry room door and it's on the other side of the house!

If you want a dryer to actually dry your clothes, stay away from this one. We "inherited" this brand new one buying a house. Being a really fancy, high price monster, we expected wondrous things. NOPE! This is definitely an example of a "Biden" Dryer. Looks great, cost a lot but doesn't perform. At 76, we've been through a lot of washers and dryers. Plain and simple, it doesn't get clothes dry. Yes, it is installed correctly, setting are correct, IT IS PLUGGED IN (duh). It took two 1 hour "Power Dry" dryings - 2 sheets, 2 pillow cases, and 2 socks are finally dry. Give me a break!! Any load, small, medium, large, any setting, it just doesn't perform. The matching washer is worse. It walks the floor, doesn't do the job,... The new "Biden" washers "swish" the clothes around rather than really give them a wash. Anyway.... Disappointed!!!

Purchased a Maytag top loader washer from Home Depot. Less than 2 months later -Control Panel didn’t work. 3 weeks later & Maytag doesn’t have the part! Maytag keeps saying call in 5 business days! Frustrating! They will not replace this new washer. The warranty is for a year but they don’t have the parts for this NEW washer!

We bought our washer and dryer set 6 years ago and had to call for repair for $450. The washer will beep and not start, giving error message with no code. It will randomly shut off without completing wash. You have to unplug for 15min to 1 hour in order to reset. We had it fixed and 3 months later same thing. Warranty will not cover. When it works, I have no complaints but does not happen often. Wish we hadn’t bought them now. Will likely have to buy a new set soon.

I purchased a top load washer from Lowe's. It's a Maytag. I received the washer a few days after purchase and have nothing but issues. The store said I have to go through Maytag and they are impossible to reach and when you finally do they say they have to send a repair person. That took over a week then the repair guy said there are two major issues and parts could take 10 days or more. Then they have to schedule to come back out for a 3 hour job with no guarantee that it will fix the issue. It's causing so much hardship not being able to do laundry and very frustrating. It can take 2-3 hours to reach someone. This is the worst experience I have ever had and feel like legal action is need to prevent this from happening to others and buyer beware!

I bought a washer in 2023. It's 2 yrs 2 months old. Have to replace it already. The lock system the drain pump and basket pins. It would of cost me 800 bucks to fix everything so bought a new machine. Called Maytag. They said I should of called them to repair it. I said, "No. You would of charged me 150 bucks to walk in the door." The lady on the phone was rude and basically said it was my fault for not contacting them. I hung up on her. Never buying Whirlpool/maytag ever again. It's hard enough in this crazy world without having to buy a new washer every 2 years....

Dryer started banging and squealing after the warranty ran out. I ordered parts from Maytag and they say they've shipped them. But, FedEx says the label was created and they don't have the box 3 days later. What lousy customer service. I bought parts from Amazon and fixed it myself. I cannot believe how awful Maytag has become. It's as bad as Whirlpool ever was. Whirlpool has destroyed this once-great brand. My parents-in-law had a 25-year-old Maytag and it _NEVER_ needed anything fixed.

My 15 month old Maytag washer experienced a complete Power Control Board failure. The repair cost is estimated at $450 on a basically new $600 machine. Maytag referred me to their warranty language and offered me $0 for a lightly used machine 3 months past warranty. I'm junking their junk machine rather than pay them a 70% markup on their $300 PCB, that rewards them for their poor quality. The only thing worse than their machine is their horrendous customer service.

Waited on hold for almost 2 hours before getting thru to a customer service representative who was the rudest person I've ever dealt with. He proceeded to transfer my call and voicemail answered and said to call back within business hours. This call was started at 2:00 and ended just before 4:00.

What happened to Maytag being the Best? I got rid of my old Maytag which I now regret. I bought a new Washer in 2023 and have been dis-satisfied ever since. The lid lock is something I was able to bypass but is still a pain. My main issue is after the wash cycle is complete, the clothes look like they've been in a Tornado. They are all twisted and overly wrinkled. Even on the delicate cycle. Don't waste your money on a Maytag washer!

Purchased a Maytag washer before Thanksgiving 2025. It is by far the worst washer I have ever used. It does not fill up properly, does not spin enough to take water out. It agitates before the tub fills up thereby twisting and beating clothes violently. It literally does what it wants to do not what I want it to do thanks to its "sensors". No help from technician or maytag customer service.

My washing machine was purchased in January 2025. On November 16 it stopped working. It is December 30, 2025 and we are STILL waiting for the part. This is unacceptable. I don’t have time nor extra money for a laundromat, but here I am going again. I will never, ever purchase another Maytag ever again. If I could return it I would.

We bought a new washer in April 2025. The washer would flash and say no water detected. We had a plumber come out and he said it’s the washer. We had the repair people come out, and they ordered the part. In October, the repair person came out to install it and something was still not right with the washer. Another part has to be replaced. They ordered the part. We had no hot water and can not use the sanitize cycle. We called today and was told that Maytag denied the claim, saying the warranty had expired. It is December and no one called and told us from the repair company or Maytag. Do not buy a washer from them. They will not stand behind their warranty or products.

We bought a washing machine 14 months ago. Just stopped working and Maytag wanted to charge us $329 to fix. Lady on the phone could barely speak English and gave me the option to buy a 1 year warranty for $480 which didn’t include labor. Good company turned to garbage.

I have owned a Maytag mvw4505mw for just over two years and the computer board just went out on it. 500$ to fix and I paid 600$ for the machine. Go figure. I'm done buying new machines. I'll buy used and get 5-10 out of it and buy used again. I'll be so much money ahead.

Bought a pet pro duo in August and it had serious issues from day one, waited months for parts. The whole time we waited for parts we had to do what we could to make things work while this washing machine systematically destroyed itself and when I came to discuss the potential of extending my warranty I get the same bs from customer service over and over refusing to do anything about it taking zero ownership in the fact that it has taken months to resolve these issues and giving me the same corporate answers over and over. This company is a total joke. I’d never buy another one of their products.

Right from the start the dryer does not dry completely. I have to run it more than an hour to get items anyway near dry. Doesn’t collect very much lint either, very disappointing. I would not recommend.

Maytag has set women back to the 1950’s. It takes forever and still does not get the clothes clean. At times, it does not even move the clothes when washing. I have to cancel the cycle and start it over. Sometimes that works and other times it does not. I called Maytag, they sent out a repairman and his fix was to just always use the bulky cycle. I have a washing machine I paid big bucks for and has 10 other cycles but told to only use bulky for the machine to do its job which still does not always work. It supposedly has commercial technology, but this is a fantasy by Maytag. I thinking of just putting on the curb with a sign as junk.

I bought a basic Maytag washer and dryer and they do not do a good job. I put a minimum amount of clothing in the washer, use a deep fill setting, and will have clothes come out still dirty and with dry spots that somehow did not manage to get wet. The cycles take more than an hour and still do not get the clothes clean. The dryer has to be used on a high heat setting and for the maximum amount of time to get the clothes dry. I sometimes still have to run the dryer for an additional 30 minutes. I would not recommend either product. The model numbers are MVW4505MW2 for the washer. MED4500MW0 for the dryer. I bought these because they were reasonably priced and Maytag brand. Well, you get what you pay for.... they do not do the job.

We purchased a modelMVW450MV 22/01/2022. It has a wiring issue that never should have been. It breaks down one time a year. The first right after warranty expired. Do not EVER buy this undependable machine.

One star is generous, much I could say. Horrible, extremely loud, trash washers and dryers, save yourself some heartache and buy literally any other brand. No matter what the problem is with it, they just tell you that it's operating normally. They will keep doing this until the warranty expires so be warned.

I would leave a zero rating on the customer service. Brand new washer, got a great deal at a big box store. So much for that, the washer didn't work. Called and had to wait over an hour multiple times. Sent a local company to come and fix it. It is under warranty. Company said it needs a new part. That was Nov 7th. It's Dec 2 and the repair company said they (Maytag) can't find the part. WHAT. I called the parts number, explained the situation, can't give me a tracking number for the part. Won't let me speak to a manager, then hung up on me. Would never recommend this brand or Westinghouse to anyone.

Bought a Maytag washing machine. Didn't make it 2 years! 1 year 11 months, bolt fell out of motor underneath so then main circuit board burnt out! Was quoted $780 to fix. Machine was $750 when bought new!! NOT HAPPY!

Maytag is no longer a quality product. A short time after extended warranty lapsed, the MVWV855DC4 expensive clothes washer plastic fractured at the top lid hinges. This should be one of the most reinforced plastic locations. Looking for replacements, only improved parts are found at $185 to $250 and I do the repairs. NEVER EVER ANOTHER MAYTAG / WHIRLPOOL.

Updated on 12/15/2025: The nightmare continues with my Maytag Washer. So we bought the China part again to fix some that part that should not be broken. The part is only a little more than a year and a half old. New part lasted one load. Now the lock lid will not work, So we fixed that. One load later mainboard is not working at all. I took the washer and I threw it right outside. Please do your homework before buying this crap from Lowe's store. They are selling this product without letting the consumer know it is defective. It is a piece of crap. Beware of who is selling crap to the public. "You will get stuck with the bill".

If I could give this company a zero rating I would. We have had nothing but trouble with our Maytag Washing Machine. Whether the load is small or large the drum bangs so violently when spinning that it moves clear across the floor into a wall. We've done everything to try and fix it. Most recently changing the springs; however, the problem still exists. I have a rental in Indiana, bought Kenmore, inexpensive, washer and dryer 16 years ago and have never had a problem. Stay away from Maytag. They are crap!!

Our washing machine is 1.5 years old and goes from sensing to washing complete after a minute of sensing. After researching, this is a common problem and requires replacement of the motherboard. Repair cost is $500. Well the washer costs $750 new. We opted to buy a new washer that is not a Maytag or whirlpool brand.
