    Our 2 year old Maytag washer failed in Dec. 2022. Maytag was contacted and they had a technician come out. He said there was sediment on the pump, cleaned it out and put it back on. He turned it on and it worked and he left. We ran 3 loads of laundry and it quit working again. I took the pump off and cleaned it again (I couldn't find anything in it). I put it back together and it did 2 loads of laundry and quit again. By the 4th time it wouldn't work at all. I contacted the service provider and they ordered a pump. According to them it was on backorder. It is now March 27 and the washer is still inoperable as we do not have the new pump.

    I have been on the phone with the service provider and Maytag multiple times (the wait time on the phone with Maytag is ridiculous) with no success. I finally contacted a different service provider and they said they could have a pump by this Wednesday (I'm not holding my breath). We finally went and found a used washer to replace our fairly new one. After this experience I will never purchase another Whirlpool/Maytag product again.

    The machine has all kinds of options for cycles, temperature, special options, etc, but nowhere for a water level selection. The washer has an extra large basket for washing large loads and comforters, but no options for water levels to accommodate a large load. I am adding 5 to 6 gallons of water to the machine to get enough water to wash the large loads. I can just wash small loads and this will work takes twice as long, but how do you divide a comforter?

    Many times I have hand washed special items and put them in the washer on a spin cycle to get extra water out. Not possible to do this on this machine. Several times I have lost my detergent because I did not get the machine loaded before it timed out and the machine emptied. This is tricky when having to add water to basket. If you leave the lid open too long it will just drain out. There is a short window of opportunity. It is a game of constantly tying to trick the machine to keep it from timing out. When I wash my comforter, there will not be enough water to thoroughly was the comforter. It will be compressed during the cycles causing excessing wrinkling. Sometimes dirt will be in the folds. I have a Maytag Commercial washing machine with bells and whistles. Just wish it had basic washing options.

    Evidently Maytag's business model nowadays is either your washing machine is supposed to just sit and collect dust, or you need two of them in order to have one that works. We purchased one of their "top of the line" washers right at two years ago and it has been inoperable for a week after calling their product support and authorized repair company. Once the clowns come out to "troubleshoot" they'll order the part. If it is like the last time it quit working it will take another three weeks for them to get the part and replace it. Extremely poor way to treat your customers, I will never buy another Maytag product.

    This is a new set to Maytag 2023 5.5 extra power washer and dryer. We bought the large capacity washer and dryer for king size bedding. The washer doesn’t wash properly and leaves marks all over the clothes. Also has air bubbles and doesn’t wet the clothes or bedding. We bought the Downey ball for the softener. That doesn’t work either. Leaves softener stains all over the fabric.

    We had a service man come out after 2 months of use. He said to use the bulky setting which uses an excessive about of water and can overfill and flood your basement, great so much for an energy efficient washer! The auto fill doesn’t work and never covers anything with water. It’s the worst washer l have ever owned! The dryer also has marks inside like it was burning. They told me this is normal. I have never seen this before. They said they would send someone out again, why? The first guy just said there’s no error codes so everything is fine. No it’s not! Do not buy this set!!!

    My neighbor just had a garage sale prior to moving. I saw he had a Maytag washer and dryer set that looked almost new for sale for $600. I asked him if they work ok and he said nothing wrong with them. I bought them for $500. He’s moved out now and is probably relieved to be rid of this joke of a machine. Who designed this?

    I purchased a Maytag model MVWX655DW1 in May, 2019 for second home in Florida. Due to covid restrictions, home was unoccupied for 2 1/2 years. The washer was used 8 months by 2 adults. The machine started banging, shaking and moving out of place. I called for repair and was told the suspension rods failed for a replacement cost of $364.08. This is 1/3 of what I paid for the machine. I have the parts and they were inspected by a technician who said that they were not bent or broken. Poorly designed! I wrote to Maytag. They keep saying out of warranty. That is not acceptable for 8 months use.

    I've had this machine for 7 months. I have never seen it work as advertised on TV or online. I put blankets on my furniture for my two dogs and thought this machine would be awesome to keep these blankets clean all the time. Well, I was wrong. The washer does NOT remove the hair and if there is hair in the agitator after a wash it's very little while the non-pet pro Maytag (7 years old) dryer I have removes most of the hair left from the wash. The agitator rarely collects any hair. When it does it's such a tiny amount.

    I had a Whirlpool technician service my machine because I thought it was defective. He said there was nothing wrong with my machine and suggested I use the "bulky" cycle which uses more water to see if that helps but he didn't feel it would. I feel this pet-pro feature should work on all cycles when putting blankets (light or heavy load) in the washer. So I'm stuck. I paid over $1100 for this washer and I regret spending every penny of it. I would love to exchange this washer for a new Maytag washer (not PetPro). It's totally not worth all the money I spent.

    We purchased a Maytag Washer (MVW7230HW0) in August of 2021. It is now 18 months old and broken over 4 times. Today I was told by Maytag that repair parts are at least 3-4 weeks out. I am giving up on this product. We have replaced the drain pump now twice, a hose had a defect within the machine causing a water leak, and now we are waiting on a replacement wiring harness and heat shield.

    Maytag's response to my inquiry on parts timing was "We have submitted a parts research request to our Specialty Team on your behalf. At this time your request is being handled by our Team and we do need to allow them at least 21 days to complete their review. We welcome you to contact us back after 3/20/23 for more information." So basically I am out a washing machine for another 4 weeks at least before I even get an answer on the timing for the part! They don't care that their product is garbage and they don't have parts to replace the garbage.

    We purchased a Maytag washer two years ago. We are a retired couple. The washer looks brand new. The washer cost us $800.00+ and we purchased a matching dryer. In fact, we purchased another Maytag washer and dryer for our lower level. We feel cheated by your company. Maytag has always had a good name. We see it on social media now, not so much.

    The part that failed is called a “slider”. A magnet pulls on the outer ring to connect and disconnect the transmission gear. All the pins holding the two pieces together were sheared. This is obviously a defective part. Nothing we did could have caused this part to fail. The repair person said this is common failure. It is defective. Maytag's only response was to "allow" us to purchase an extended warranty for $360/year in additional expense. This is a commercial grade washer that is a piece of junk.

    Stay away from Maytag. They did not make it right. The repair person said some of the technicians keep glue with them as a temporary repair until they can order a new part! Here is an example of a company with a known product defect and the consumer has to pay. They made even more money from us. Stay away from Maytag! Model and SN: MVW7232HW CX2903333.

    I am the not so proud owner of a Maytag washer that I purchased in December 2019. At nearly 60 years old, I’ve bought many appliances. This thing belongs in the dumpster. I wish I had kept my old machine and had it repaired. When it’s operating you have to babysit it, otherwise it gets stuck in rinse mode for hours. You have to continuously shift the load around to try to balance it. Usually you have to run the spin and drain cycle 3-4 times by first removing the clothes and leaving about one fourth of the load each time. Don’t waste your money!! If you have an older machine, KEEP IT!! Get it fixed!! This is hands down the worst purchase of my entire life!!

    I would give a zero if I could. We bought our matching Maytag MVW6230HC washing machine and dryer from Dufresne furniture and Appliances on September 10, 2022. In less than 4 months the washing machine started making loud squealing noises on the spin cycle. We had the service technician come out to diagnose it on January 25, 2023 and he came back with the parts and "fixed" it on February 2, 2023. It started making squealing noises again February 5, 2023 and has progressively gotten worse. We called Whirlpool Canada and asked for a replacement as we have zero confidence in this washing machine and were told they have to send a technician out again to see if it can be fixed.

    I now, after speaking with the manager of the customer service centre and having to go through this whole process again, have zero confidence or respect for Whirlpool Canada, which has Maytag, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and Amana in their portfolio. Whatever happened to the Maytag repair man being bored all day because he didn’t have anything to fix? Remember those days? It seems substandard products are being made from substandard parts and the company is relying on the good name and reputation of days gone by. There is no responsibility being taken on this company's part to fix the problem and make it right. All the time, frustration, annoyance and burden of a faulty product is being put on us, the customer, to have to deal with. Extremely poor customer service, extremely poor product.

    Control knob for timing/sensor would not count down. Dryer would not turn off on its own when clothes were dry so needed to watch it very closely. End of cycle buzzer started buzzing even in off position. Had extended warranty plan but they wouldn't cover the repair because it was not cost effective to repair. They wouldn't replace the Dryer because a comparable replacement cost more than the original purchase price. Now waiting for a refund on the purchase price less the cost to have the issue diagnosed. Refund doesn't even come close to covering the cost of a new dryer.

    Very unhappy that Maytag does not make a better product and back up what them make. Manufacturer warranty covers only one year parts/labor and after that 10 years on drum and motor. I feel the electrical panel should also have a better warranty on it. Bad enough you can't expect a new dryer to last as long as the one we had for 25 years and only replaced it so we had a matching set when we replaced our washing machine. But to get not even three years is beyond ridiculous. Most households can't afford to replace a major appliance every three years.

    Based on my experience if you can at all afford a better brand I would spend the extra money on a better brand, which I had thought Maytag was. If you can't afford to go better then buy the cheapest brand so when you have to replace it in a couple years it's not as big a bit on your pocketbook. I grew up thinking Maytag was towards the top of the line but from my experience quality is at the bottom and price is towards the top.

    I finally had enough of this Maytag Bravos junk. It is always out of balance and it shakes and jumps around like crazy, at one point I wedged a piece of 2"x4" between the wall and the machine to try and keep it in place. I leveled it a dozen times thinking I am doing something wrong. Problem is when it does this it shuts itself down then tries to rinse and spin again, it goes crazy again then the cycle starts again. We have to stop it, re-balance the load and try again. This can go on for 3 or 4 tries, it just keeps losing its balance. When it starts jumping around it comes off the floor an inch or two, it's crazy.

    I reached out to Maytag via the Canadian website and booked a service call, Maytag service guys come's out, runs it when it's empty and tells us there is nothing wrong with it, just have to make sure the load is balanced. So what I understood is we have to make sure that we watch the machine and when it wants to go into spin we have to open it, make sure it's balanced every time we do a wash because this happens on pretty much every load.

    Last night we put in 5 towels, it was a busy night and we forgot about it. Our house is large and we can't really hear anything from our bedroom but when I woke up this morning I could hear the washing machine jumping around. I went downstairs and realized it was the same load from last night. So this thing had been doing this all night, about 11 hours of trying to spin and drain and jumping around. I shut it down re-balanced the load and put it on drain and spin, waited a moment and it unbalanced itself and started jumping around again. I stopped it again, took out one towel and re-balanced the rest and started it again. Sure enough it unbalanced itself and bounced around like crazy so I stopped it and took another towel out and rebalanced the 3 remaining towels. Finally, success, it worked. My wife came down to see what I was doing and I told her I solved the problem, you can only wash 3 towels at a time. Great machine.

    What I don't understand is every time it shuts itself down it starts the rinse and spin cycle again, so it fills itself, the clothing float around and it loses its balance again and again. No idea how many cycles it went through last night. We have had this machine approximately 3 years, it did it from the get go but not that often, I always thought I was not balancing it right but it got worse. Maytag service charged me almost $200 to tell me there is nothing wrong. Can't afford to keep these guys coming back.

    I'll probably just buy my wife a new machine, but you have probably guessed it, it won't be a Maytag or any of the companies related to Maytag. This has been frustrating and I feel I want to tell everyone and anyone that will listen, stay away from this machine, I have read about others doing the same thing, it is an issue, Maytag knows about it and they send service people to tell you nothing is wrong even though I show him videos of this thing trying to jump out of the room.

This was quoted at $280 then when he comes back he then says the transmission needs to be changed since the part from the washer plate was stuck on it. You guessed it. Price up to $460. This was done with his supervisor there when he quoted me this amount. Well after he changes that and then says, "Oh yeah the hub needed to be changed." (No kidding buddy.)

    We are very unhappy with Maytag. Our dryer failed to heat only after only 1 1/2 years. We are a household of only 2 adults so it was not overused! The technician replaced the high-limit thermostat (dryer thermistor/thermal fuse) worked for 2 cycles only, then came back and replace the heating element. Surprisingly the Full Warranty is only for a year - the Limited Warranty covers only items that probably won’t break- So I ended up with over a $400 bill. Continuing issues and the third visit….The technician was at my house 3x’s finally giving in because I wouldn’t approve for the attempted replacement of the computer board that now reads an error-F2E1. There is no guarantee that would solve the issues and I would end up paying more than the dryer itself. There’s obviously no good way to diagnose the issues without replacing all the obvious parts.

    We never saw an error message on the display before that and I also have the app on my phone - again there was NEVER an error message. I’m waiting to hear from Maytag. I wish there was a better way than phone to contact them so I can send them this information as well as the technicians’ findings. I, unfortunately, purchased another Maytag dryer due to matching the washer.. Crossing my fingers that it’s not another LEMON… Also purchased the extended warranty from Lowe's.

    After 2 years the washer looks as if I’ve it for about 10 years. it is rusty on the top and bottom. I also purchased a Maytag dryer the same time. The dryer has no rust. I believe the washer may not have been sealed well. I contacted Maytag and was told rust was not covered by any warranty and was offered touch up paint. This is not normal wear and tear. I purchased Maytag because I believe it was a very good product. I will never purchase anything Maytag again.

    Damaged at delivery by Maytag's delivery agent, took 2 months to get authorized agent out to confirm; another 30 days and still waiting on the parts- CS is a complete joke and is not service oriented. No resolution and I bought the unit direct from Maytag! They won't replace it, refused to provide a refund, won't settle and based on 10 parts I am waiting on, will have a refurbished unit not a new unit as I bought.

    I purchased a Maytag because everyone always said how great the parts warranty is. Well after 3 hours of attempted phone calls trying to get in touch with their warranty line to get a new fill valve I've given up. The automated service is abysmal and the only way you can speak to someone is if you call their part sales department. Of course, only take calls from those who are paying, not those who've already paid. The warranty line had me "schedule" a call and I use that lightly because the soonest available time for a call back was 2 weeks out. This on top of the fact that the machine is only 2.5 years old in a household of two maybe running 1-2 loads a week, and it needs a replacement. I don't plan on ever purchasing a Maytag again given they seem to not stand by their warrant claim.

    3 days after initially buying the washing machine from Lowe's I had to call Maytag and get a replacement unit under the factory warranty. Six months after the initial replacement called again, it took 20 something days for the repair team to show up. The third and fourth call were another 20 days. This time though, 4 months have passed without any resolution and the AIG extended warranty team is now handling the situation. They are indifferent to their customer needs, remember 4 months with no washer. Today marks the third time the repair team showed up and the third time they cannot complete a repair.

    I called the Maytag warranty number and asked for assistance in getting a working washer in my house. I asked them to consider the potential of a return customer versus a angry and disgruntled individual when asking them to replace the washer. After multiple repair calls and a continuous 4 months of no washer the warranty person said as long as we can order parts for it they will continue to throw parts at it wasting my time and their money. I would never recommend Maytag to anyone. This has been an expensive and time consuming lesson in corporate failure. I promise, everyone I know and people I don't know are going to hear and read about the horrid customer treatment by this bloated corporation that has lost touch with their customer base.

    We bought a Maytag washer 3 years ago. It has two setting for load: autosense or deepwash. The autosensing function is designed to save water, but does not work properly, often times we found not enough water to cover the load. But, the biggest problem is terrible shaking during the spinning. I am a guy in my mid fifties, have seen fair share of dryers, never seen any shakes this bad. We reported the problem to the Lewes where we bought it and they sent a technician to come out who said it it is balancing problem and did some stuff. But, after he left, we found the problem was still there. We honestly worry the house may come down, it is that bad. Only setting shakes less is bulky load. We bought based on Maytag’s reputation as a reliable product. But, this washer is a total disappointment. I recommend not to buy. Defective product.

    Purchased new Maytag dryer in early 2020, a few months after I purchased the matching washer. After two years the dryer has never dried in one cycle. Even a pair of pants alone takes 2 cycles to dry. Set was around 1200.00. Washer is efficient and doesn't use enough water to clean clothes well. Dryer quit after a year for about 3 weeks. Then it randomly began heating again. Now after 2 years it has died again. About 5 weeks ago washer began making noises and working slower, then quit, just makes noise but doesn't move. When they were about 3 months old I contacted Lowe's and was told to contact Maytag. I did and was told. "Sorry, you'll have to call a repairman." Never a mention of their "10 year" warranty. They did apologize at some point but when it was 3 months old they wouldn't fix it, now that it's 2 years old and has quit, they still won't even look at it. Horrible customer service.

    Maytag washers are a ripoff! I am an elderly woman who purchased a Maytag washer two years ago. On average, I do about four small loads of wash per week. This week the water would not come into my washer. A reputable repair man thought it was because I needed a new valve. He installed a new one at a cost of $180. It did not solve the problem at all. I called the appliance store where I had purchased it, and they recommended another service person. That person now says I need a new control board which is very costly. Not only is it very expensive and in addition to another service call, but the part is very hard to get and probably will not be available for several weeks.

    Maytag 5.2 cu top load washing machine. Model # MVW723OHWO. This is seriously the worst washer ever... Never again Maytag. Should have kept the trusty whirlpool. Clothes stay dirty, gets out of balance and skips the filling process straight to washing, or it will say it's washing when it's actually draining all the water out without washing at all. Sometimes it doesn't even agitate!!!

    I hate this machine with a passion!! I wish I could return it. I'm actually have to go the laundry mat because the machine didn't do what it was set to do. I'm going to have to chuck this one up to a loss and buy a different brand. The main reason I decided to get a much larger machine was I have queen size comforters and lots of blankets to wash often. Well it doesn't work for them! Doesn't agitate or move them around so you end up having soap residue all over them. This is something they should put in the description that it is not suited for large blankets or queen size comforters, if they had I would have never bought it!!!!

    I hate this washer. It is a JOKE. I thought it was defective but as I read more reviews this is the way it washes. With NO WATER. There is not enough water to get the clothes clean or to wash. The clothes had dry spots on them when I would take out. The screen says DEEP FILL but it does not happen--just switches from HIGH to MEDIUM back to HIGH (no water) on clothes. The auto sensing adjusts the water level to what DRY CLEAN. Even if I put just a few items and put it on med load the clothes came out dry. I would stand there and watch. The machine would just fill halfway and then beat the rest of the clothes with no water???

    I had to wash my clothes twice with extra rinse just to get them somewhat clean. The cool cycle always came out hot. It would heat the basement up. After we return machine they installed another machine. The man that installed put the hot water feed line on the cold which is marked on the machine (H). We called a water heater repair and they said it was our washer not the water heater, that cost us a 100.00 trip charge.

    I purchased a Maytag washer in February this year. After a few months the washer stopped working. Had the warranty people over to assess the situation. Turns out they don’t know what’s wrong.

I said the tech said to call them and there was no guarantee it was going to work if they change the parts. So neither helped. Bottom line is I wasted over 800.00 on a piece of crap. My suggestion to anyone is do not buy a Maytag. They will not replace the washer nor will they give me an update on when it can get fixed. I hung up on them and I’m going out to buy a GE.

    We purchased the Maytag front load washing machine model #MHW4630HW0 at RC Willey in Las Vegas in the spring of 2019. The sales agent highly recommended this model and it was supposed to be energy efficient and also was made in the US. So we purchased the machine. He also sold us the extended warranty. So far, the only issue we have with the machine, from the very beginning, it was taking a very long time to complete the cycle.

    Oftentimes, there is only 1 minute left and I will wait and wait for it to complete the wash, but it kept going and going until I finally powered it off. I will then have to change the setting to spin and drain cycle to complete the wash. There were times that it will take up to 3 hours for a load of 20 items in the machine. At this point, I called the RC Willey Extended Warranty department. A technician arrived on 2 or 3 different occasions and fixed the problem, however, it would quickly return to the same issue. This has been very annoying to me...the machine supposed to be energy efficient!!!

    Last week I called RC Willey to again report the same issue. A technician arrived today, I explained to him the issue. He called the Whirlpool customer service and he was told that I should do my laundry separately; which I have been doing ever since I started doing our laundry (40 years ago). I separate the white, light colors, dark colors and delicate clothing. I do my laundry once a week since there are only 2 of us (husband and I).

    Apparently, I should separate the laundry according to their weights, for example, we use 7 white kitchen dish rag about 9 inches square, 7 pieces for a week; my husband wears white under shirt and white socks. I was told that I should not combine them because the undershirt weight is different from the dish rag or I should not combine shorts with jeans or I should not combine the washcloth, hand towel and bath towel...( this is the first time I ever heard such idiotic reasoning). If Maytag's reasoning is correct how can they claim that this machine is energy efficient. I will be doing 20 loads or more of washing a week for 2 people, small load at a time!!!! Who the hell thought this idea and have the nerve of calling it efficient!!!!

    After the technician left, I called RC Willey Extended Warranty department and complained about what the technician told me and she confirmed that it was correct and there is nothing they can do or will correct the problem. I think this will be my first and last Maytag appliance that I will ever purchase (so much for Made in the USA brand...shame on you Maytag). I tried not to buy items from China and buy nothing but made in the USA; but this Maytag issue is more than ridiculous. I don't think I will ever go to RC Willey again!!!

    The dryer is 2 1/2 years old and started screeching. The repairman immediately upon opening the unit said "You have a leak, lint is getting into the entire unit covering all the mechanics." It turned out the weatherstripping between the drum and the door was incorrectly installed when manufactured causing the lint to build up inside the unit. This can cause all the moving parts to stop working, and of course does not cause the dryer to stop working until it is out of warranty.

    I purchased this washer in July of 2020 from Lowe's. For the first couple of months it worked really well with no problems at all. Then it started having small issues which were covered under the warranty so I did not worry too much about them. However, with only a year warranty I should have known something was going to go wrong soon after and it did. The digital interface (the circuit board to get the washer to work) went bad. It just showed a code of F6 and E2, before it shut down. So I went to the website to see who I could get to come out and look at the washer to see what was wrong. I found someone through the Whirlpool site. I then made an appointment and waited the week and a half for someone to come out and look at the washer. Since it is no longer under the warranty it cost me $125 for them to just look at the washer.

    As the gentleman starting looking at the machine he said that both circuit boards had gone bad and new ones would have to be purchased for him to be able to fix it. I asked how much that would be total for the parts and labor, it came to $900.00. This washer is not even 2 years old yet and I have a repair bill for $900 on a washer that I bought brand new for $1,200. When I tried to speak with someone at Whirlpool about this, they said they were sorry it happened, but it is out of warranty so it is pay the $900 or get a new washer.

Then after reaching the spin cycle it shook, jumped off the floor and of course it took me a minute to get it turned off. So the idea I wasn't loading correctly was incorrect.

So all total without a washer for 4 weeks minimum - call the customer service people (first one was rude and short), 2nd one after 45 minutes on hold - told me the were no other options other than wait for the repair. Four months after a brand new washer and it failed. I requested a replacement option and they said no way. Their hotline talks about a positive customer experience and that seems to be a joke. Not helpful, super frustrated and they do not seem to care about the customer experience at all - terrible product and service

    The lid on this washer cracked twice. It is made out of plastic and is now discontinued. The lid cracks no matter how gentle you are with it. It is just over a year old and will have been serviced twice. The lid has to be ordered and you have to wait for a week. Maytag will not offer a new machine.

    We purchased our Maytag® 4.5 cu.ft. White Front-Load Steam Washer online through Menards and picked up the washer on Feb. 5, 2022. We set it up on Feb. 6, 2022 and it didn't work properly from day one. The washer makes a clicking sound when it spins and also gets out of balance very easily. I contacted Maytag and they referred a warranty repairman in our area. He looked at the machine and said it could be one of two things and it would be a major repair. We would have to haul the washer to his shop and he would have to tear apart the washer to fix. He said it would be a big job to fix and we would be out of a washer for a few days.

    I also had contacted Menards shortly after we purchased the machine and they told us to contact Maytag. They wanted nothing to do with us and didn't want to stand behind a product that they had sold. Getting major warranty work done on a NEW washer makes no sense to me. I am very disappointed in Maytag and will never purchase anything Maytag again. Don't bother wasting your money like we did!

    We purchased a Maytag Commercial Technology washer from Lowe's. After having the washer for only 3 months, the drum failed, an entire load of clothes was turned black with oil, and my washer was out of service for months. The drum had to be replaced. They did not offer me a replacement. I was just without a washer. They couldn't get the parts because of supply issues created by Covid. I was offered a 2-year additional warranty which should have carried me through 2022. Last week, I called to use the warranty - service was scheduled (and I was told that I did indeed have a warranty by the service team.) I was then told by the repair team that I was out of warranty. Maytag's notes show I was only offered a 1 year additional warranty. I talked with Management at Maytag/Whirlpool - they will do nothing for me. Shame on me for not getting that in writing. Shame on Whirlpool/Maytag for lying to me. The washer has been a nightmare! Don't buy one.

    Would give them 0 Stars if that was an option. Bought a Maytag washer and dryer in Aug 2021. Washer broke Jan 6 2022. Called Maytag/Whirlpool on Jan 6 as it was still under warranty. They only had one service company in our area to work on the washer. I called them and it took them 10 days to come see what is wrong. Ordered parts. Said it would be 2 weeks. We are now 6 weeks into this with no parts. Called customer service and they said they were notified that their service company needed a part and would take another 21 days to resolve. Talked to a supervisor (Demetrius) who sounded like he did NOT want to be in that position. Offered no solution other than we will "just have to wait". Threw a 3 month extension for the warranty on which still does not fix the problem. Sad to see this company go down the tubes as it was once a pretty decent business with solid products. No longer.

The service man was distraught and said it the washing machine had catastrophic failure - they would order the parts and get it repaired. Early January I still had heard nothing, So I again contacted Maytag and they had no answer.

After much communication with Maytag Customer Service it was determined that there is no way to bypass it. And it uses a lot of hot water, even on a cold wash. Their explanation was that the water needed to be a certain temperature to make the detergent work effectively. The same detergent that I’ve been using for 40 years with cold water in my Speed Queen. When I need to do a cold water wash, I go to my parents home and use their washer. Disappointing purchase, my last Maytag, for sure.

    I purchased a Maytag commercial residential washer in late 2018, supposed to have a warranty for at least 5 years. We are in California and I was told that there was only one facility that could come two weeks later. I removed the front panel to have it ready for service tech, who on the first visit kept saying he did not know what the problem was, and left telling me he would order parts. After Christmas, I could not get in touch with service so again called Maytag. Service was supposed to come out on the 30th.

    After waiting almost 3 hours, he called to tell me he did not have the parts. Also, this repair tech treated me very bad since I removed the front panel which I thought I was being nice. He called me back on the 30th, said someone gave him a part, and came. All he did was remove control panel, lost the start button and told me it worked without checking it at all. He was rushing to another appointment so I tried to start it and it still had the original issue, which was slow agitator and a rubbing/grinding sound. Now, after he did something with control panel it had a clicking sound. I immediately called corporate and was told when he came back, which has now been over a month with no washer, that he would be with a senior technician.

    January 5th I waited all afternoon and he called and said he was not coming and that my whole washer would have to be rebuilt. He never replaced the parts on previous invoices I received, and I filed a complaint with the BBB. Now they are completely lying. Technician trying to say I had the control panel apart which is not true, and does not match up with the invoices I received. They are telling me my warranty is voided! It's been a month and a half. I was treated rudely from the beginning and now I am obviously being retaliated against. I have 3 kids, two with severe medical problems and have put so many hours into calling with all these issues.

    I had another service place come out and he removed the agitator and the transmission shaft/drive motor is rusted out, as well as the parts he said he replaced are worn and definitely not new. For this company to come back after all this time and say I did this, when I have the original invoice that clearly states otherwise is absolutely the worst service ever.

    I bought this machine thinking it would last, and now have to deal with all this. I have nerve damage and it is very difficult to take all the laundry for a family of 5 to do at laundromat. They refused to send someone else out, where they could easily have seen this repair tech never did what he said, and was unable to diagnose and fix the issue. It's appalling to me that this is how they treat customers. Laura ** at corporate is the one saying warranty is voided. The machine looks brand new as it has always been taken care of. They should be ashamed of themselves. Apparently, this is the standard a lot of times with people trying to get things serviced under a Manufacturer warranty!

It died after 22 months, a bad seal leaked water internally, fried some components (no water ever leaked from the unit onto the floor) and despite there being a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty on parts sticker on the unit... the fine print says only the tub and motor are covered.

    There is no way we could have known the seal was leaking and it was not the result of misuse (overloading) or abuse. The parts to fix it are back-ordered months and cost more than a new unit after install. Glad I paid $150 to learn all this. It also did not wash great on most settings.

Maytag sent a repairman who tried to blame the problem on us even though he appeared well aware of the problems with Maytag/Whirlpool. After appealing to Lowe's, they intervened and Maytag agreed to replace the washer with a higher model. (This process took many phone calls and a great deal of frustration).

    One year later, shortly after the warranty expired on the second washer, the control board again stopped functioning properly on the second Maytag washer. Since then, I have been rebooting the machine, starting the cycle over again numerous times and doing everything within my power to keep the washer going. The cost of replacing the control board is outrageous. Soon I will replace this machine with an LG with an extended service warranty. No more Maytag or Whirlpool products for me!

    Had previous Maytag for years. Good, reliable, easily repaired product. Cycle sequencing very recognizable. New washing machines are ridiculously designed. Neither you nor the repairman have any idea what the cycles are or if they are even working as designed. Many cycles start out trying to wash with little or no visible water in the drum (top loader). The clothes come out tied in knots. I now wait for the agitation to start then pause and add water for three to five minutes then restart. What a nuisance. I have called customer care many times and they are courteous but not very helpful. This machine is an engineering nightmare.

    I bought the larger capacity machines to save time because I'm so busy with my family and wanted to cut down on loads. I was surprised to find the capacity can really only operate at half, which is as large as my old, smaller machines. The washer is extremely sensitive, meaning it may take four or five tries (this morning was four) to arrange the clothes - even a small load of delicates - in it in the exact way the machine wants before it will allow the cycle to start. This is exceptionally frustrating, particularly during the busy morning or when you are tired at night. So you have to stand there and wait until the "sensing" function is happy and you see the water pouring in. Yet often you will return to the machine and it will have an error message that occurs inexplicably during the spin cycle, so the wash cycle will need to be restarted. It cannot just be continued. The machine is not only a huge time waster but a water/detergent waster as well.

    I learned that the sensing function on the dryer is useless as well after coming back to many loads of damp clothes that sat there, got little funny smelling as a result, and had to be rewashed in the nightmare washer lol. So now I just use the timer function. It takes about two hours to dry a regular load of towels, so be prepared for that. I bought Maytag because it is an American-made product, but I won't make the same mistake next time. If the quality is any reflection of the functionality, it probably won't last very long anyway. Here's to hoping.

    Updated review: Sept. 1, 2021

    My washer now works, it took less than 30 days impressed with the repair company J&H Factory Service. However this particular washer suppose to have a "deep water wash" and the machine barely uses enough water to cover the clothes. It's a good thing I live in California. One other item I don't like is the fact you have to dilute any softener. I use Downy, with water and the clothes don't come out as soft as they use to. Be very careful before you buy a Maytag Washer, if you do buy one and it starts to make a clicking noise, open the machine lid and if the clothes are just sitting there call for a repairman and tell him the machine will not agitate. Apparently this happens a lot with this particular model washer. The good news is it didn't cost me one cent.

    Original Review: Aug. 1, 2021

    Updated on 08/13/2021: Today a repairman who is authorized by Maytag came out. He found the problem, some arm that popped out that is located underneath the washer. He put it back together and said he needs to order the part and it will take 30 more days. Set the washer so that it SHOULD work for a couple of loads. I spent $700 on a washing machine and I have to go to a laundry mat to get my clothes washed. Here is the clincher. The guy left no paperwork, nothing, not even a business card. So I am at the mercy of this repairman (I think he said his name was Jessie). The guy was friendly, quick and knowledgeable, however he told my husband he knew what the problem was going to be, if you knew why didn't you bring the part with you and he said the part is out of stock. Why, is this part unique to Maytag washers? So I am still waiting for my washer to be fixed.

    Original Review: In December 2020 I purchased a Maytag washer it was delivered in January 2021 and it worked great for the first several months. Then the machine started making noises, clicking noises like it couldn't move through the gears. Then I started noticing that my clothes were not getting cleaned. It was taking an hour to wash the clothes. I told my husband it is not agitating just clicking. We had to stop and start back up the washer just to get the water level high enough for the so called "deep water wash". I was finding residue left on my clothes and had to wash them 2 or 3 times to get the clothes clean enough to wear. Sometimes it won't spin enough to empty the water in the tub. It smells almost like wire burning. It has barely been 6 months and I have to have a repairman out. I will review the washer again after it has been fixed or replaced. But as of right now I will never buy another Maytag again.

    I purchased a very expensive set of Maytag washer & dryer (topload washer) and heavy duty larger capacity. Firstly- I purchased this through Home Depot on Labor Day weekend and did not receive this set until December 2020. This set has all the electronics and I'm going to tell you NOT to purchase either one. The dryer MUST have a metal solid vent. This sets your dryer out into the walkway of a laundry room. If you use a heavy flexible metal vent; your sensor will be going off constantly telling you your vent is plugged and to clean it. I had a dryer vent company out twice to clean and inspect the wall & roof vents yielding nothing. I also have a dryer vent cleaner which I hook up to my vacuum and I clean the dryer vent monthly. If you lose power. You will need to unplug your dryer and let it reset to be able to use it.

    The washer is also terrible for the outrageous price. Again; glass heavy duty top load with all the electronics. You can't get the washer to fill even on deep fill. Also; do NOT put a lot of clothes or jeans or blankets in this machine. It will not be able to level and spin. When you try to use the drain and spin cycle; the sensor keeps going off. I swift the contents around and around and finally end up having to take soaking wet cloths out into the garage until I have one sheet in the machine and it will spin out. In addition- the CLEAN with Afresh mess. This forces you to clean your machine- whether you are in the middle of trying to get clothes drained or not.

    Buy something that's a simple workhorse with one button. Stay away from any bells and whistles because it's only going to cause you heartache in the long run. I wish I would have read reviews prior to spending $1,700 on a Maytag Washer Dryer set (ON SALE- for God sakes). This is the biggest piece of garbage I have ever purchased. Buyer beware.

    My fiancee and I purchased a Maytag washing machine from our local Sears. We got it home and it worked fine, but after the first month it wasn't switching over from cycle to cycle. We called Sears and they stated that they didn't provide service to the washing machines, so we would have to call Maytag. We called Maytag and they sent servicemen from B & B Appliance to our home. We were told that they needed to order a piece and would be back at another time to fix the washing machine. They came back and said it was fixed. I went to start a load of laundry the following morning and the basement flooded. The hose had become dislodged when they were working on it. To add insult to injury, the washing machine was still broken.

    I called Maytag to request a different service company come to our home. Maytag said that they couldn't send a different company. They also couldn't replace our still broken washing machine and they could not accept a return. At this point we are out an almost $800 for the washing machine, over $5000 (which we have submitted to insurance) for the damage to our home, and almost $600 for a WORKING washing machine that was a different brand. We will never use Maytag ever again.

One time I tried the 2 rinse cycle and it would not quit washing.

    Our washing machine is 3 years old. About a year ago we started to see hairline cracks on the plastic lid in the bottom corners by the hinges. These have now become huge and pieces of plastic are breaking off every time we do a load of laundry. Maytag (under the Whirlpool brand) will not replace the lid for us. We paid $130 for a tech to come out and confirm what we already knew - that we need a new lid. And now the parts and labor will cost over $550. We have called customer service several times and spoken to a supervisor and the best they can offer us is to pay for the part which still leaves us to pay over $400 out of pocket to repair a $600 washing machine.

I have been complaining to my husband since we got it. The clothes come out smelling almost burnt. But if you dry it once, the clothes are wet. And if you try to dry it the 2nd time for less time, it's still not dry. So, it takes forever to do laundry. This morning, it sounded like a lot of metal was rattling around. So, I looked inside to see if change was in there, and nothing was in there but t-shirts and socks. It had been drying for less than a minute, but when I opened the door a wave of extreme heat hit my face. Now I'm afraid to use it because I think it will eventually burn our house down.

Used the washer for 1 round of laundry - 3 days later all these error codes started and our washer wouldn't work again. 2 weeks this time for the parts and another $100 at the laundromat- a month today and I'm told they are on backorder.

    Called the place we bought it and they said to call Maytag. Call Maytag and they said that they will try to expedite the parts and could offer me a whole $75 for the "inconvenience". They will not replace the washer or give me a loaner until the parts are in. 2 months w/o a washer on a 1 person income for a family of 4 and they can't do a single thing to help. If a 10 month old washer needs 3 new parts one of them being a new control panel - within the first year - this is a lemon and should be replaced.

    My husband and I were Maytag fans, and we purchased the fourth set of Maytag w/d in May 2019, along with an extended warranty. Four sets may seem like a lot, but my husband and I have been married for almost 30 years now. Long story short, the washer went haywire, and kept flashing LF. After searching Google for answers, my husband flipped the main breaker, then unplugged the washer overnight. It seemed like that fixed the problem, but it didn't. I called Lowe's for help and got hung up on numerous times. The hang-ups were not due to my attitude or choice of words. I kept getting transferred from person to person and put on hold, then the phone would go dead. Eventually, someone actually spoke to me and gave me an 800 Maytag number to call, which resulted in more hang-ups.

    As before, eventually I got to speak to a real human being who took my info and said that a service tech would contact me. Well, over two weeks later, no one has contacted me. However, due to my post/review on the Maytag website, a Lowe's representative did call me and offered me a full refund on the washer, but not a word was mentioned about the dryer that seems to be possessed because it turns on and off at will. My husband and I have a limited income, and we purchased the top-of-the-line Maytag w/d thinking that it would last at least ten or more years.

    For the money that we spent, the w/d should have at least lasted for the warranty period. As noted before, Maytag was once the Toyota of w/d. You could not purchase a better product. Now, the exact opposite is true. Buyer beware, the most expensive with all of the bells and whistles is not always the best.

    I have always heard Maytag was one of the best so after replacing too many washers to count in 15 years, like Whirlpool and Kenmore, I decided to spend more for quality. I figured pay a few hundred more once rather than spending $400 for a cheaper one that only lasts 3 or 4 years. That choice seemed environmentally responsible and financially as well. However, I couldn't have been more wrong.

    In 2016 I purchased the Maytag Centennial top loader for $500. I really loved the size of the tub and the way it looked. I can fit a large comforter in it with plenty of room leftover. I also have no interest in a front loader after reading reviews. So I thought this was going to be great! Well it hasn't been. It has broken 3 times. The circuit board twice and now the bearings are going out in the motor. I fixed it the first two times but now I'm done. I'm done with Maytag, Aka Whirlpool. I think it will be a Speed Queen for me now. I'm hoping it won't be a dud also because they are pricey! It actually scares me to spend that kind of money. I have really lost my faith in most companies nowadays. Customer service and quality has gone out the window. I think about how much this impacts the environment!

    I purchased a Maytag Bravos XL washing machine in December 2019. The machine started badly malfunctioning in November 2020. By the time I called for service, they told me the 12-month warranty had expired and I needed a new control board put in for $529! I called Maytag and they agreed to replace the board free of charge, but I had to pay $120 for the service call. They replaced the board, and the new board is faulty. The machine will not fill with water, it won't lock, and now it won't even start. This machine is a LEMON!

    Now they are saying the soonest they can get a tech out is 1/29/21. Meanwhile, I have a mountain of laundry piling up in my laundry room because I haven't had a working washing machine for almost a month. I called to complain and demanded either a refund or a new machine--they will do neither. I used to buy Maytag because of the name, dependability, and customer service. No wonder they were bought by Whirlpool. I WILL NEVER BUY MAYTAG OR WHIRLPOOL AGAIN. I should have looked at all the 1-star ratings online. BUYER BEWARE!

    We are a family of nine so I wash a lot of laundry. We bought this washing machine a month ago and hoped it would perform like our prior one. The problems are many. It is too smart for it's own good- it requires a "cleaning" after every 30 washes but gives you zero warning beforehand so you will already have the clothes in and started the cycle when it will stop the cycle saying it needs cleaned. There is nothing you can do to override the cleaning cycle, so you are forced to remove your sopping wet clothes and run the cleaning cycle- wasting time and money on precious water! It also wants you to use its specialty "affresh" to clean it with, adding cost we hadn't planned on.

    Then you can't tell when to put the clothes in as it tells you to start the washer and then add the clothes, but if you put the clothes in first sometimes it won't start because it won't "sense" properly, and if you start it without the clothes. Then when you stop to add the clothes it won't start it with the clothes in it- which way does the machine want it?! So it is a guessing game as if the washing cycle will even start. And the washer won't hold as many clothes as our last one did. If there are too many clothes, the cycle will stop and it will refuse to wash until some are removed. Whenever there is a problem starting, which in one month has been four times now for us, it is a huge guessing game as to what is wrong for why it won't start. I don't need this kind of frustration!

    Further, the locking mechanism in the washer is plastic, and I know from experience that plastic parts will be the first to break. Had I realized this before purchasing, I would have looked for a metal locking device. My guess is when it does break, the whole washer will break. Also, from day one, it has made a sound that I'm not sure is normal. It sounds almost like grinding gears every time each various phase starts or stops (washing, rinsing, draining, etc.). I sincerely hope this isn't a manufacturer defect as we didn't buy the extended warranty. We researched this model before buying and many were happy with it but I hate this washer!

    I loved my last Samsung washer but it rusted all over after just five and a half years even though it still worked great, so I didn't want to buy Samsung again so we took a chance with this Maytag. I am regretting this purchase. I consider myself to be a person easy to please. I want a washer that works that won't rust that you can put a ton of clothes in and throw it in the wash and forget about it. I don't want all this high-tech sensing stuff that just messes up and is highly inaccurate in what it "senses"! Why can't companies offer a simple, high quality product anymore that works, without the added costly features?! The model number is: MVW6230HW0. Avoid this model number.

    I have called this company several times. Most of the time, they tell you that you need to call another department...which means you spend even more time on hold. This washing machine is only 3 years old. I will never buy another Maytag/Whirlpool product again!

    Purchased new set from Lowes in November 2018. Control panel and board failed in January 2020. Called Maytag and they agreed to do a one-time "good-will" repair, as unit was 2 months out of warranty. Panel and board failed again December 2020- less than 1 year old. Contacted Maytag via email and then chat; chatted with 'Jenny'. Very rude and abrupt. Stated unit out of warranty and will not replace parts. Explained I would fix it if they sent parts, refused. She stated there was a 90-day warranty on parts. I explained that it is probable there is a manufacturing defect in the components for both parts to fail so closely together. Short and abrupt responses. Asked if she could issue partial credit or rebate towards purchase of new unit, again refused to do anything. Asked her to escalate this to a supervisor- refused to do so, claiming she was qualified to make final decisions on behalf of Whirlpool. Very abrupt and unprofessional.

    I am a reasonable small-business person and understand a company must have standards and policies. But at some point there needs to be some common sense and accountability. It's highly unlikely I am the only one that has experienced frequent failures in this equipment, and at the very least they should have offered a credit or discount towards the purchase of a new machine. In this manner they most likely would have kept me as a customer of a brand that stands behind their product, not just shareholder value. I opted to receive a transcript of my chat with 'Jenny', but never received. Further, received no response whatsoever to my email sent previous to the pleasant chat session.

    In summary, Maytag is not what they used to be. The appliance performance is substandard, operational longevity/quality is very poor and customer service is unprofessional and unaccommodating. I purchased a Samsung set last week; more money but far superior performance and a standard three-year warranty. Goodbye Whirlpool/Maytag forever.

    2 major repairs in 8 years, ridiculous! We purchased a washer and electric dryer pair in Feb. 2012, had a repair for the control board (CPU) 4+ years under extended warranty, had another in 2018 for the same thing. I was told power surges could cause it, however I have a WHOLE HOUSE SURGE SUPPRESSOR ON THE INCOMING 200 AMP SERVICE AND KNOW THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM!!! Had the same CPU go out again in Nov. 2020 so, rather than pay $370 for the part plus labor, we bought a top loading GE with an extended warranty and factory 10 years on the motor. We will never buy another Maytag product again. We were told that we shouldn't expect to get more than 6-7 years from a washer now, ridiculous. Manufacturers are outsourcing electronic boards overseas to maximize profit and could care less about quality control!!! Junk!!!

    Hi we bought Maytag washer & dryer from Lowe's last year. Since then it burned every single fabric silk to cotton, tops, pants and sheets to comforters even on delicate setting, costed me thousands of dollars. We are totally wasted our time and money by buying this product. I would never recommend to anyone. It’s disappointing and pathetic to see how they even pass the quality testing before they release to the consumers. All my brand new clothes and comforters one wash and they are ???? burned. Not even one star worth my time. I can't wait to get it replaced ASAP. I have pics to provide. Totally dissatisfied with this dryer. Washing machine is two star only compared to other brands.
