Maytag Washers & Dryers Reviews

I bought a Maytag dishwasher MDB4949SKZ "24 front control dishwasher with dual power filtration and powerbase cycle - 50dB" from Slyman Bros SOCO and it is the loudest dishwasher I've ever heard. Pops, clicks, bangs, clunks, swishing all for a 3 hour cycle! I have to leave the room and close the door. It cleans ok, but it makes more noise than 50dB!! I hate it.

We purchased a Maytag front loader from a reputable company in Frederick Maryland. After two service appointments I called the Maytag service number,,, the washer was moving away from the wall and to the side. We purchased a riser for the washer and was told that this was the problem. Bray and Scraff is the company that we purchased the machine and riser from and they would take no responsibility for either replacing the riser or would not accept it as a return! My husband ended placing weights in the riser drawer to help with the shifting during the spin cycle!!

Bought the "most trusted laundry made in the USA". The corp. Doesn't make the lonely serviceman anymore. Why.... Read on. Well after Whirlpool corp. stole the tech from Fisher & Paykel (New Zealand), They went and did the quintessential US capitalist move.... Charge twice as much, make it break just after a prepaid extended warranty! Yep that's what happened. I've sold appliances for three years...and I studied those manufacturers for 20 years. And Maytag, whirlpool, KitchenAid, Frigidaire and several other brand names. Fall under the corporate greed of whirlpool. "The corporation" does not care, just keep buyin' is what I heard. The new slogan. And it's mine, look up my name. "Buy Maytag you lose".

Terrible washing machine. The worst customer service, almost 2 months of service schedule washing is no repaired.

New Maytag washer (delivered March 5, 2026) from Home Depot has never worked on all 10 settings, only on 2 after you unplug it for 10 minutes and play with it to get it started. Home Depot customer service lady did not do her job and same day delivered told me I had to have Maytag fix it. I told her it was just delivered a few hours ago. Reported it day one delivered Model: MTW6205RW1 Serial number CF0800829. Maytag sent out 3 repair people and still does not work. I have a 10 year warranty they refuse to honor and Exe Manager of Maytag said I had to pay $150.00 to have repairman return. Exec would not allow me to tell my side of the story. She was very rude. Do not purchase this $1000.00 washing machine as it will not work on all 10 settings.

Bought a Maytag MVW5430 top-load washer in April of 24. It stopped at the rinse cycle and would not drain, and the lid stayed locked. After a bout with Maytag, they replaced it with the same model. A little over a year later, the replacement did the same thing. I contacted Maytag, and they said it was out of warranty and would not be covered, so we had it fixed, costing 300 dollars, and now less than a year after that repair, it is doing the same thing. Called Maytag, and basically they said Sorry you are having this issue again and to call for service. I now know why the Maytag man is no longer in commercials, because he used to sit around because the machines wouldn't break down; now he is too busy because they won't stay working. Maytag is a bad deal; don't buy one.

This has been the worst washer and dryer I have ever owned, in fact the worst appliance period!! Every since these brand new appliances arrived, they have not worked well. I have had the repair company out multiple times for having to replace parts on the dryer and now waiting for them to come back for the washer and the dryer. The washer is getting stuck with errors and every load I have to run a separate drain and spin cycle because the clothes are too wet to remove from the washing machine, not to mention it takes 2 to 5 hours to complete one cycle.

We thought we were getting a good quality washer and dryer when we purchased them in November of 2025. (Model # MTW6200RF0) Not even a year. It started to not drain all the way and then just stopped working. We have had Maytag appliance repair come out 10 times and diagnose and then replace parts after parts and still doesn't work, while my washer sits not working filled with water in the basin. It hasn't even been a year since we bought it, worst customer service ever, always have to call them to see if they have the supposedly part, no compensation at all. What the hell is the warranty for if you don't get the service or the a replacement. They said that it's not their call. Bought it at Home Depot and they won't help with anything, no take backs. I have been without a washer for 2 almost 3 months. Would not be surprised if a class action lawsuit results from all the complaints ahead of me.

My elderly mother recently purchased a Maytag top-loading washing machine, having an affinity for previously owned models, but this new machine has been anything, but reliable or durable. The first breakdown occurred in less than 30 days of use, and it took 2.5 weeks to fix the problem. That is a bit of time to go without a working, brand-new washing machine. The service technicians stated they have had all kinds of problems with this unit and ultimately discovered another broken part due to shipping mishandling. Now what appears to be the same problem is happening again, and we are told the earliest they can come look at it is 7 days from now, and if they don't have the part(s) on hand, which they didn't last time, it will be yet another week before it's fixed. This is completely unacceptable, especially for a new unit that has been used for less than 3 months. Absolutely do not purchase model# MTW5205TW1.

I purchased my Maytag washer on 05/01/2026, and it has already been broken for over a month. For a product that is not even six months old, this is completely unacceptable. When I contacted Maytag for help, I was told that I had to go through a third-party repair company, JD Services of Hobbs. I have now been dealing with this repair process for approximately a month and a half, and I am STILL without a working washing machine. I have repeatedly been told that they are waiting on parts. A month and a half is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for parts for a major household appliance. At this point, I have spent far more time dealing with this problem than I ever should have had to.

The sensor feature, even when water level is set to ‘full’, prevents enough water from filling the drum so on a heavy load clothes are not cleaned and finish smelly. WTH, Maytag??

I would definitely not recommend Maytag any longer, they are no longer the company they once were. Nothing they sell has any longevity, and the companies they send to do repair / warranty work are very sub par. For Florida and Georgia they use flamingo which is a b rated company though I don’t see how with a 1.2 rating from customers like you and I . I suggest staying away from Maytag products. Hope this helps this is a very genuine post.

MAYTAG — THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I have owned a Maytag MFW7020RF washer for ONLY 1 YEAR AND 6 MONTHS, and it is now COMPLETELY DEAD. It will not turn on AT ALL. But honestly, the washer breaking is only HALF the problem. YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. I have now been on hold for OVER AN HOUR and have been transferred to FIVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE — FIVE! — and I STILL do not have a resolution. Five different people. Over an hour on the phone. Repeatedly explaining the same problem. Being transferred around like nobody wants to take responsibility. WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THIS?

We had a Maytag washer and dryer for over 25 years and replaced them on 2025 with the Pet Pro series. What a huge mistake! The washing machine is garbage, it hardly cleans at all. Deep fill is a joke, but so is the entire piece of equipment. I will never, ever, buy another Maytag or Whirlpool product in my life. The Obama era has destroyed your company.... Complicit is probably more the reality.

I spent the extra money to buy what I thought was a reliable top loading washer. One year and 2 months after purchase I got my first code. Had a tech come out for $300 to tell us it was a drain hose issue. Here we are one month later and we've replaced the control board and now we have to replace the touch pad control. We use the washer minimally so I have no idea why all the issues. I will never buy another Maytag and I will not recommend this brand to anyone. So disappointed.

After 2 years of light use, the locking lid system failed, which affected the whole computerized system, leaving my laundry soaking wet. It would not restart. Neither the dealer nor customer service would financially take care of the problem, leaving me stuck with over $200 for repair. Online info states that this has mechanical frequent fails. If they know this, why isn't it fixed and why don't they pay for the repair? I thought Maytag was better than this. Two years old and over $200 repair. Get real!!! This is my first Maytag and will be my last.

0 Starts if possible. My ex wife has a MVW6500MBK0 PetPro washer that is the worst washer I have ever seen. After a few years of owning the water has nearly completely stopped being added to the washer causing constant F8E1 Error Codes, but only showing it when I entered the diagnostics mode. All external inlet lines and valves are working properly and when I opened up the machine I noticed the Water Inlet Valve (part number W11096267) was the most likely culprit and most likely had failed Cold/Hot water valves. I was curious though as to why her Washer did not have the 5th connecting wire configuration that the original part seemed to require (5th port underside of the part assembly).

I purchased an electric double oven from Lowe's and got the extended warranty. When I received the oven, I did not immediately unbox the oven due to renovations. When I did unbox the lower oven had a broken glass door. I called Lowe's, and they transferred me to Maytag. I live in eastern Oklahoma which is very near the Bentonville/Fayetteville area where there is a Maytag field service representative (FSR).

I purchased a Maytag washer/dryer from Lowe's in January 2019. On the day of delivery, Lowe's told me that the set I wanted wasn't available. My choices were to wait two months for something else OR get another Maytag set that was larger (something I did not need). I got the larger set. From day one the dryer was loud and made a horrible sound. They sent a tech who did nothing. They sent another tech who did nothing. Then they replaced the dryer in September 2019. It also made a horrible sound. They sent a tech who repaired it. The dryer never dried clothes so they sent me a kit to test airflow. Now the dryer doesn't heat at all. I called and held and after giving someone all the info (model, serial #), they transferred me to someone who mumbled that I needed to call back in two hours. This is ridiculous!

Never again will I ever buy a Maytag washer had for 3 years and it stopped working. The warranty wouldn't fix it cause it wasn't working; they made all these excuses. 😡

Bought my washer 04/2023. It’s already stopped working twice and both times I had to have someone come out to repair. First time I was still covered by warranty, second time the call out charge from Maytag was $150 plus repair. It’s the same issue with the lid lock not latching properly, technician says he gets these calls a lot with this type of washing machine Model #: MVW4505MW.

They have agreed to replace the washing machine.

Can't do half a star. It won't let me. Got a new washer at a high price. Within 2 months it needed repair. Call where I got it from and they brushed me off to Maytag, they didn't care about my new washer or its problem they sent so guy out who pushed a couple buttons and said it's working for me and left. I dealt with the problem for almost 2 months and the sound was just to loud, called again. No one cares. They sent the repair guy out to humor me, he gets here and I turned it on for him this time, he didn't try it last time, after a few seconds I need almost all the major washer parts replaced, I ask seeing it's new how about replacing the washer, Maytag say's no. They repair not replace units, so once again my washer doesn't work and I have to wait over a week for parts. Paying to do my laundry because my new machine is a POS, Maytag customer service and warranties are garbage. Stay away from maytag.

Unbelievable, noise electronic pulse will drive you crazy, power surge, no way to check to see if it really is washing, 1.5 hrs plus for a normal load, ridiculous. Sad we let these electronics and China have everything we make, took it back next morning.

Possibly the worst purchase we’ve ever made. After about a year it began to slowly break down with part after part failing until the gear case finally failed right at the two year mark. No customer support from Whirlpool. I was on a first name basis with our local repair guy. The local shop where we bought the thing helped us out with a new (non-Maytag/Whirlpool) machine because they have good customer service but otherwise this was this was a total trash fire.

Very disappointed with Maytag and their customer service. I purchased a Maytag washer less than one year ago, expecting the reliability and quality associated with the brand. The washer developed a problem and required a repair. Because of the timeframe Maytag offered for service and because I needed to use the washer, I had the repair completed at my own expense. Unfortunately, the same problem has returned only one month after that repair.

I purchased a Maytag washer January 2025 and I am having mechanical issues. It goes from sensing to done. I called Whirlpool and they want me to pay $350 to fix it. I thought Maytag was the best but it isn’t. She wanted to know if I had purchased an extended warranty and I said no. Person shouldn’t have to. The washing machine should last longer than a year and a half. It upsets me that they couldn’t do more to stand behind this washing machine.

I recently purchased a “pet pro” washing machine because, obviously I have pets…?? My question would be - what rocket scientist at Maytag thought that removing the clean out opening on the front of the machine was a stellar idea…?? Even after actively and vigorously shaking out fabrics that have been in contact with pets there will always be an amount of pet hair that will find its way into the machine. In the good ol days a person could periodically open up the little door and clean the pump out and continue on their happy way, but now we cannot be trusted to perform such a delicate process and for our own good the option has been removed as not to temp a person as inept as myself to complete….?? Seriously Maytag? I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that board meeting- Just FYI I am planning on returning to washing my clothes in a creek over stone and save the time, money and aggravation…

I thought I'd go on here and write a review about Maytag gas dryers and may tag themself. I will start out to say do not buy a Maytag. Piece of crap. I bought a washer and dryer set from Maytag. My dryer which is a gas dryer did not work when it got delivered. I will say Lowe's send a new one the next day. That was awesome. It's almost a year now and the dryer started making all these banging noises. I'm going to see if I can put a video on here but anyway took me 2 hours to get through to Maytag Customer service. Horrible. Finally did they send a repair person. Now listen to it. Ordered a new drum. Came two days later which was awesome. Put the new drum in and it sounded even worse so they replaced the rollers and the motor and it's still loud as hell.

I purchased a Maytag washer 3 years ago. I’ve hated it since the day I got it. It’s very loud & have had service out twice for problems. Today, another problem won’t start up. Unless you take out an extended warranty they will not stand behind their product. There is only 2 people in the house so is not used much. It’s going on the tree lawn. I will NEVER buy another Maytag. Yes, I called Maytag & where I bought it. Sure they will send someone out but for a cost. I’d rather toss it than spend money on it since it will probably break again. It’s got me sick that after 3 years have to buy another one. It’s a lemon.

Purchased a new Maytag washer/dryer set from Menards and the washer leaked the first time we used it. Called Menards CSR and they apologized. The said that they would deliver a new one. It took 3 days, but they did deliver another new washer. Went to use it... Leaked again. Both brand new washers leaked from the tub area. It is simply unacceptable that Maytag would not only produce such defective products but also allow them past their "quality control". Returned both to Menards for a full refund. I will never purchase anything from Whirlpool/Maytag again. It's really sad because Maytag appliances used to be the gold standard for reliability.

I bought a matching washer and dryer set DIRECTLY from Maytag’s website on August 6, assuming buying from the manufacturer would mean a seamless experience. I was completely wrong. We had to take a full day off work to be home for the scheduled delivery today. The delivery team arrived and only had the washer, explicitly admitting that the missing dryer was entirely Maytag’s fulfillment error. Because of their mistake, we have no way to dry our clothes and are forced to spend our free time and extra money at a local laundromat. Furthermore, we would have had to take a second day off work just to receive the delayed dryer. Now, because of how this was handled, we are forced to take yet ANOTHER day off work just to sit at home so they can pick up the washer. That is multiple days of completely wasted PTO and lost wages because of Maytag's incompetence.

I scheduled for my dryer to get fixed. I purchased it on December 7th 26. It broke in April of 27. They scheduled a service provider to come out. The provider canceled 2 times then never showed the 3rd. Then in July 2026 my washer broke. I called to schedule someone to fix my washer and dryer yet again. Same thing the people they were sending out after waiting 2 weeks for an appointment canceled. I called Maytag to see about getting a different service provider. They basically told me no they couldn't. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told someone would call me back in a day or 2. Terrible experience and terrible washer and dryer. I should have went with a GE.

I just received my new Maytag washer today. I called the registration number provided, and the "salesperson" (who was obviously NOT a customer service representative) immediately started badmouthing Best Buy (where I purchased the appliance) and told me that the 5-year unlimited warranty was in fact, absolute garbage and proceeded to list all the limitations on the warranty. I responded that the representative at Best Buy told us that this is a 5-year unlimited warranty which includes parts and labor. He said that they lied to me. He said Best Buy is notorious for lying about the warranty. I quickly realized that his scam was to sell me a "better" warranty. WHAT A SCUMBAG!!!!! I called back a second time and got the exact same routine. This is MAYTAG, not just some rogue operator.

I contacted Maytag because my dryer had condensation on the inside dryer door window as well as small water puddles in the dryer drum. The technician sent to my house Paul did the least to resolve my issue. He used a tester to see if the dryer vent was clogged then left. His tester only measured air only however my other cycles are not working properly. I spent $392.20 for a technician to do absolutely nothing.

The controls are difficult to use. The washer does work well unless you use the highest water level and my top load machine broke after 2 years.

Maytag washer is the worst I've ever owned. Just over 2 years old and needs a control panel - this will be control panel #3. Original was replaced at 4 months (Under warranty) and now needs to be replaced again along with a pump. The washer has NEVER worked effectively, either leaves load sopping wet and needs to be drained and spun again, or gets "stuck" at 1 minute or 15 minutes and just keeps running. When I shut off manually the load is done. I personally have enough to do in life without babysitting my washing machine to be sure it stops. When it continues to run I'm thinking this is causing excessive wear and tear on an already bad machine. Additionally, if anything gets stuck in the machine you need a technician to come out and service, unless you are savvy and strong enough to lift the machine and take it apart to access where to unclog.

I purchased a Maytag set 2 1/2 years ago. I have already changed the heating elements in the dryer 3 times and today the washer lock mechanism broke! Parts are not available and the magnet trick didn't work. As far as I know you cannot bypass this lock. I bought Maytag because I thought it was quality, I was wrong! It's nothing but JUNK. Washer model MVW4505MW1. Dryer model MED4500MW0.

My washer came on time but I found out the washer they sent me is the wrong washer. I've spent over 20 phone calls Plus to Maytag you can't speak to a human, it just takes you from computer to computer and you sit on hold forever. I tried the corporate office, they're useless. All they do is send you back into their same old dumb line and you go back on the computer and sit on hold. I am trying to get the washer returned and the correct one delivered but this is become impossible. If I knew Whirlpool and Maytag were merged and looked up the problems they have the biggest complaint is their phone system you can't speak to a human. And their call back system that's a joke. If I can't get a response from them I am going to go through the bank and get a chargeback and get another washer somewhere else. Washer MTW4205SW.

Horrible. A waste of time and money. I just added my Gain to the machine, and I left the top open for a few minutes to go take the sheets off of my bed and as I'm walking back, I hear the water draining mostly full of water and all my damn Gain down the drain. That's at least 20.00 worth of water and 4.00 worth of Gain.
