I bought a basic Maytag washer in November 2021 based on a positive review by Consumer Reports. They were utterly wrong! The machine makes loud grinding sounds when it washes and it has done so from the beginning. It's difficult for me to understand how the company can pay its designers and engineers to make loud machines. Has no one every listened to the machine while it's engaged? My mother had her Maytag for decades and it was totally quiet, just a gentle sloshing sound when washing and a whir when spinning. For a while I could not get the washer to work at all, but then finally it worked ONLY on normal cycle.
So much for all the bells and whistles with other cycles and deep water wash. I find this unacceptable in a washer that's supposed to be good for 10 years and it's slightly over 3 years old. My model # is MVWC465HW, Customer Service is of little or no help. You need to keep up expensive warranties not to pay for service, but what's the point. Service for mine might cost as much as half of what I paid for the machine. Customer Service keeps suggesting DIY troubleshooting, which is anything but helpful. I would not recommend Maytag ever. I'm not sure, however, if any other appliance company is any better these days.

Their service is a scam and rip you off. Be careful making an appointment. They will charge your credit card and only then tell you the repair date way out into the future. Better off going with someone local.

We bought a Maytag “Commercial” washer in 2020 and started having issues with rust almost immediately. Last fall (2024) the primary control knob snapped off the washer. Imagine my surprise when I called for repairs and discovered that the entire control board had to be replaced and not just the cheaply made plastic knob. We spent almost $500 to repair the issue. Less than a week later the lid lock switch broke. Another $200 repair. Now the entire suspension system has collapsed and this very expensive washer which is less than 5 years old must be replaced!!! I will NEVER buy another Maytag or Whirlpool (same manufacturer) appliance and will not do business with the dealer that sold us this absolute piece of garbage washer!!!

We have purchased and used Whirlpool appliances for over 30 years but decided on a Maytag washer 11 months ago. It began causing issues with the spin cycle about three months later. The machine sounded like we were at an airport with the noise the drum made. It has been serviced 4 times since and had many parts replaced. Fast forward to today when it froze up again and we could not open the lid. Whirlpool/Maytag wanted to send out another repairman, we said no we will never buy your products again. Today we ordered an LG washer. Avoid this brand, they do not stand behind their products and are sending junk into the marketplace.

Ordered online direct from Maytag. Delivery and setup (11/30/2023) went fine. Started failing middle of March 2025, stopping in middle of cycles, had to restart and finish a cycle. Then it kept running the drain pump constantly. Diagnostic code show failed pressure sensor. FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY (PARTS AND LABOR). Made service appointment through Maytag.com 03/25/2025. ** They were very responsive. Unfortunately, the part (control board) is backordered. ** didn't have an ETA. I checked numerous site and found it backorder ever where, with some site showing ETA in May. This is strictly on Maytag/Whirlpool problem as they manufacture the parts. This is a commercial grade washer. I can't imagine any business depending on washer that fails after 15 months and parts are not available for months.

One star because you can't leave 0 stars - quality - AWFUL!; customer service - AWFUL! Called in about a tub bearing going out / very noisy and customer service script was all about getting my credit card and it will be charged today! Washer less than 4 years old - has been noisy almost since day one and this is after "must use white glove delivery and install service" - GARBAGE. Bought to support "Made in USA" at a premium price - only thing high is the price - low quality, low customer service! Will never buy Maytag again!!

Maytag 5.3 Cu-ft top load washing machine. Impeller design. Purchased April 30, 2023. Reliability 0/10. Ease of use 0/10. Function 0/10.
Pros:
1) It fits a king comforter.
Cons:
1) It doesn’t add enough water to properly clean the clothes. It runs the impeller while the clothes are 85% dry and they twist up and get pills and damage. We use the custom heavy duty cycle and set to max fill just for a normal load. Eventually it adds more water but that is after 30-40 minutes after it ruined the clothes. Everything is always tightly twisted up, even bed sheets.
2) It is inherently prone to imbalances and banging around due to how it functions and its design. The drum is suspended by 4 suspension rods with springs on them. It does not have dampening springs or shocks and will freely sway and bang from the slightest imbalances in load. It will often stop washing and turn off due to this. You have to fix the imbalance asap before that happens, and it happens often.
3) It requires a new motor every year (10-12 months) from normal use with 2 adults. The motor spline is made of plastic and it is loose fitting on the spline. It will wear down and strip causing it to need replaced. This is why they include a “10 year motor warranty”. However labor is not free. This should have been made of metal. But instead it is cheap plastic.
Summary: Do not buy from Maytag. They build cheap junk. I wish I could get a full refund because this machine is a piece of junk. I’m stuck with this machine because it was so expensive.

My 81-year-old grandmother just bought a brand new Maytag at Lowe's in October of 2024 and it has a problem with the wiring harness and they know it. That's why they discounted it. Do not buy a Maytag with a push button. They have problems with wiring harnesses. Get a doll or just don't buy Maytag at all. But don't buy Whirlpool either coz they got the same issues

We purchased one of these and it has worked okay, but would say it’s very noisy. When our daughter needed a new one, we suggested this product. The first one delivered wouldn’t drain. The next day, Lowe’s replaced with a new one. It didn’t work, but this time they said she needed to call repairman. First man who came out didn’t have a clue how to fix. Second company came out and said it could be one of three issues. At this point, she could not get a replacement because it was in warranty period. So company ordered the parts. One of which would take 6 weeks to arrive. Finally fixed after 3 months but the reason it didn’t work is still unknown. Maytag was really no help. Since the 2nd one broke within 2 days, she should have received new one.

I purchased a Maytag washer MVW6230HW (digital) from Lowe's in September 2022, for a total of 873.00. I did not purchase an extended warranty from Lowe's. This Maytag washer was guaranteed for 12 months. The washer lasted just 15 months, then stopped midcycle, half filled with water and clothing. Lowe's will only provide service if an extended warranty is purchased. The only service I could locate in my area was Sears Home Services. The technician replaced the actuator, and the machine still did not work. The technician said he had no idea what was wrong.
I had no other choice but to replace this Maytag washer after just 15 months of use, and still had to pay the diagnostic fee of 161.00. I did some research and looked not only for a dependable washer but a local business that has their own repair department. I bought a Speed Queen TR3003WN (not digital) made in the USA, which I am very happy with, at a cost of 1058.00. It came with a THREE year warranty. Maytag customer service refused to address my complaint because it was past the warranty date of 12 months. The loss of hundreds of dollars paid for a faulty machine and a new replacement after only 15 months was a hardship, not to mention the aggravation of trying to have it repaired and going to a laundromat multiple times. I will never EVER purchase a Maytag appliance again.

I purchased a stackable front load washer and dryer. The third time using the dryer, the drum felt gasket came out and wrapped itself around my clothing tightly! Getting a hold of them for this issue has been a nightmare. After a long hold, I decided to email someone. She had the nerve to send me troubleshooting instructions. This is a new unit!! I shouldn’t even be dealing with this, and I’m not disassembling my new dryer. I finally have a service date, but they don’t give you a time window. You have to stay home and be available the entire day. So I guess I’m taking a day off work. I have wasted a lot of time/money, and now I have a new machine sitting here that I can’t use. I don’t even want them to make the repair. Just bring a new dryer ASAP. This is ridiculous. Off to the laundromat to waste more money. Never again will I buy Maytag.

I bought a Maytag front loading washing machine from Lowe’s less than 1 year ago. It is already inoperable due to mechanical failure. I tried to call customer service and received a busy signal, something pretty unheard of in this day. I went to the Maytag website and started a chat to try and get help there only to be left hanging mid-conversation, the agent just stopped replying. I have an inoperable washing machine that was very expensive and not even 1 year old and have no recourse because I can’t get through to an actual customer service agent. I regret my purchase. Do not buy this brand. The product is poor and the customer service is nonexistent.

I bought a Maytag washer and it broke down after four week - it took five weeks to get it fixed. Now a year later, it has broken down again and it has already been a month and we are still waiting for part to repair it. Buying a Maytag is the worst decision I have ever made. I will never buy a MayTag product again and neither should you!

We bought a new home 6 months ago and decided to splurge on a "quality" washer and dryer pair and bought a Maytag. It's the worst appliance purchase I've ever made in my entire life and it's not even close. The washer shakes everywhere and is so loud we put pillows on each side and it still makes tons of noise. We called a Maytag technician and an independent repair person to check it and they said that they're just built that way nowadays.
The user experience is terrible. Every couple weeks you have to do an empty wash with no clothes and you won't know until you put a load of laundry in and come back 20 minutes later to find out it never started. It constantly stops working due to even small to medium loads of laundry "offsetting" the drum, so it'll just not work and you have to redistribute or take out clothes.
It's overall completely unreliable. This morning I woke up to a random electrical error that only says "F2E2 Customer Service". No phone number, nothing. I found and called a number and of course they're not open on weekends. Terrible company. We tried asking them if we could exchange or give them back and they won't, so now we're stuck with junk that we'll replace as soon as we can. Avoid this company at all costs.

Maytag, big name brand, big name disappointment. A month in and started having problems, took 3 months to get repaired and a few months later same exact problems. Customer service is friendly, but treats you like an assembly line customer, nothing more than scripted responses to questions. Inferior product with obvious design flaws and no intention of admitting and taking responsibility for it. Will never purchase another product of theirs and will steer anyone else I can away from their products.

I spent the extra money on a Maytag washer and dryer. It's labeled 'commercial grade' and has a big bold "10 Year Warranty" sticker on it. After may be 4 and a half years of basic household use the washer has completely begun to break down. Violent shaking started and the suspension rods had to be replaced, then came the loud screeching and the clutch and actuator had to be replaced. After several hundred dollars, now it simply stops mid-cycle leaving clothes soaking wet. Customer service will simply read back the manual's small print and wish you good luck. The warranty only applies to the motor and tub and nothing else.

Maytag just don’t care about their customers. I bought what I thought it was a a nice washer machine which worked perfect for whole 3 weeks! I called customer service, they were nice and they set up a tech to come and check the washer. The drum had a small crack and it was causing a leak. I waited about 3 more weeks for the part to realize they sent a SCRATCHED and DIRTY drum and guess what? I have to wait 3 more weeks for a new part, when called customer service they just kept saying they are escalating the order but, when I asked what does that mean? They didn’t even know, it may come before 14 business days!! I was asking for additional solutions or help during this time but, they kept repeating what the warranty says.
Btw, I learned that I have to be thankful because they are sending brand new parts, the warranty doesn’t specify the replacement has to be done with new parts! So thank you MAYTAG for having people on the phone that knows how to read the warranty, I can tell that you DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMER, you don’t look for options, solutions or nothing.. you don’t care about a 7 people household will have over 3 months w/o washer, at the end of the day That is what the warranty says.

Do not buy Maytag Appliances. They do not live up to the repairs on their warranty. I'm 6 months into a washer and it began to bounce and vibrate. I know what's wrong with it but they refuse to send me parts to fix it but give me nothing but the run around and I still have 6 months of warranty left. Screw them. I'll order parts f ft on someone else. I'll never buy a Maytag washer or appliance ever again in my life. Don't buy it. You'll get screwed just like me.

I have a Maytag washer. I despise my Maytag washer. The Afresh cycle is as long as a regular load and uses straight-up hot water. Beautiful hot water and spits it out. It is a waste of time, hot water and I hate this washer. Clothes do not come out clean. It is a horrible washer. Has been from day 1. I am finally done. My hot water for my shower was spent on an AFRESH cycle so it would stop asking and self-programing for 1.
I am livid and in tears. What a piece of crap!!! Do NOT BUY ANYTHING MAYTAG. NOTHING. Use a washer board or go to a laundry mat before spending your money, nerves and tears on a subpar, piece of crap Maytag washer. What a crime they program that Afresh cycle so after so long you cannot even factory reset it! I tried everything! It was not having it and had to waste another how many gallons of my beautiful hot water. I'm livid!!!! I cannot believe this. Simply a crime. MAYTAG YOU STINK!!!!! I HOPE NO ONE BUYS YOUR JUNK!

I love buying "made in the USA." Maytag supposedly is...but, no. They are assembled here of parts from near and far. Sadly, we are on our 3rd attempt in 5 years. From the$1400 unit with display board problems, down to the $1099 unit with control board and switch problems, down to the $799 basic model that is loud and doesn't spin the water out. The REAL warranty is only 1 year. The 10yr warranty covers almost nothing. I guess I've learned a lesson - finally. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I bought model #MVWC465HW3 middle of last year. I was excited to have a new machine after my last washer of close to 15 years. Boy was I disillusioned! This machine has turned out to be the biggest piece of crap I've ever owned. It's to the point that I'd rather have one of those old tub washers with manual ringers on it like my great aunt owned.
This machine will fill half way then all of a sudden it will stop and start draining. Usually it's only once then it'll run right the next time. Not today I'm on my third try. I had to unplug it to keep it from wasting another tub full of water and laundry soap. I've wasted almost as much water and soap as I've actually been successful to wash all the way through.

A BIG lie about the MAYTAG 10 Limited warranty on Drive motor. The gear driven broke down experiencing a loud grinding noise during spin cycle. The service technician came after a week of scheduled/reported trouble. He just took a look at the bottom, found oil splattered around, belt was good, motor was good, except the grinding noise is inside the motor drive assembly. He never took apart, provided me an estimate of $$380.96 for parts + $125 for labor. I decided not get it fixed, since I can get a brand new one at Lowe's or Home Depot at about same price. Unfortunately, I was charge $125 for a 15 minute visit diagnostic fee.
I should have both a new one instead. I got a brand new Samsung Washer at $470 including tax. I could have save $125 if I have not call for warranty factory service. Next time, any appliance fails, I'll just a new one. They only last 5-6 years. Never buy an extended warranty, it's a scam. Save your monthly ext. warranty to buy a brand new unit.

I regret purchasing a Maytag dryer. It broke within a month of use, and the experience since then has been a complete nightmare. I waited over two weeks for a part to be delivered, and in that time, no one could give me any answers. I called five different times, and each time I was put on hold for over an hour. I received no help and no real solutions. I have been without a dryer for over a month now. How does a brand new dryer break within one month of purchasing? The customer service was beyond frustrating, and honestly, I would give zero stars if I could. This is, by far, the worst company I have ever dealt with.

I have a commercial grade Maytag top loading washer that is less than 5 years old. The lid is broken on one side, which causes the sensor to fail. The only way to use the washer is to put a large weight on that side of the lid. Lid is approximately $500.00 to replace. Do not buy a Maytag washer. Lid is not covered by warranty.
