    We purchased a Maytag slide in electric range in the past year. Model Number: YMES8800PZ. It has a self cleaning feature and when I went to use it this is what I found. This oven does not clean with high heat. Rather you pour about 16 oz. of water into the base and press the "clean" button. My oven was not very dirty but it has normal splatter marks on the sides and some residue at the base. The cleaning lasts about 40 minutes. After numerous cycles I can definitely say that the oven does not self clean. I called Whirlpool who own Maytag, and was told that I would have to clean the oven manually after each use as the self cleaning feature will not remove the splatters. Worse - is when I asked about using oven cleaner and doing it manually I was told that it would damage the enamel surface which could then damage the elements.

    The Whirlpool rep said the only cleaner I could use on it was the Maytag stovetop cleaner. This is not nearly strong enough to remove oven stains. Basically, every time you use the oven you need to get down on your hands and knees and remove any residue that might accumulate. Or face a lifetime of a dirty oven. Had I known any of this I would not have wasted my money on this inferior appliance. I am disappointed in both the manufacturer and the dealer who did not disclose this inferior feature.

    I bought a Maytag gas stove MGR5755QDW in 2009. Both the range and oven have worked perfectly for 16 years. I never used the self cleaning feature, which is what seems to cause failures, based on others' reviews here. My pilot ignitor has now gone out, and it will cost around $300 to repair ($95 for the part, $200 for the labor). I'm struggling with the decision of whether to repair or replace it because it is old but other than the ignitor, it's never had an issue.

      I gave this four stars because I loved Maytag when it was still well-made. I just replaced a Maytag stove I've had for 30 years. It was wonderful. I could proof bread in it, I could keep something warm on a back burner for hours, and I could slow cook many things. I've replaced the inside window, the insulation strip around the door, the oven baking element, and the surface three times (just the surface 3X, not all the others). It stayed functional and good-looking but was beginning to break down. Their site that sells replacement parts has increasingly fewer parts available. The bake element died, one burner died, another would not keep a hot temperature, but while it worked it was beautiful.

      I have many wonderful cooking memories with this stove and though I have a new oven, I miss my Maytag like you can't imagine. The new one is not a Maytag, it looks similar, but the controls are brash and searingly bright. The over is two inches+ shallower than the old one, I can't put all my pans in the drawer below, which I could easily before. It came with no broiling pan. The warranty cost nearly half the cost of the stove itself. I can't afford one that would hold everything and from what I looked at, they are too big for the spot it goes in.

      I'm sure I'll adapt, but I think it is such a shame that a company that had the deserved reputation of having the loneliest repairman, now make products that keep repairmen earning a lot of money. Furthermore, I have had a Maytag washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher. The way customer service acted when I needed a new part for the dishwasher, was so awful they cemented my decision about the product line. I will not buy them again unless or until someone who believes in quality and durability takes over and starts making them as they used to do.

      I bought a Maytag glass top double oven with convection 5 years ago this past March. The glass top cracked 1 month prior to warranty being out (thank goodness I thought). We had a water leak in the kitchen and have not been able to use the stove or oven until last night 9-4-2024 because the kitchen was just completed. I cooked hamburger in the pan I have always used and guess what Happened? The glass top that was supposed to be new cracked in the same exact place. On the big eye front right. If you have one of these please be wary. I'm not sure I will buy another glass top nor Maytag product again. So very disappointed because now warranty is no good. Only 5 years. Maytag. You can do better. I will most likely sell the microwave too. Very upset and disappointed. I Will be contacting them today. If they make this right. I will change my review.

      My new Maytag stove was delivered Feb. 1, 2024. It has not worked properly since Day One. Two service calls later and not fixed, told by Maytag "nothing can be done". The store where I bought it, Trail Appliances, is totally missing in action. Has done nothing. Air fryer option doesn't work and now when I preheat oven to 350 it buzzes that it's ready, but the thermometer I bought to place inside the oven show it's only at 250 degrees. How can this be!?

      I purchased a Maytag electric range 8 months ago. Oven and broiler stopped working. Repairman diagnosed faulty control board. Waited two weeks came out today to install new one. Said he must have been sent a faulty one. Seriously! Now I’ll have to probably wait two more weeks. Maytag will not expedite the part nor will they replace range until they’ve made several attempts to fix it. Meanwhile I’m without an oven to cook for my family. Will never buy a Maytag or recommend them again!

      Oven WILL NOT maintain temp. PERIOD!!!! Ruined numerous meals/desserts. Preheat will reach temp. Open door just long enough to add baking pan. Temp drops 110 to 115+ degrees. Stays there. Made appointments for service TWICE! No one EVER showed up either time. Didn't even call. This POS is going to the junkyard where it belongs. Buying something else. ANYTHING else. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE!!!!

      I purchased model MER8775AS0 in 2014, and it was installed for use in 2015. When the surface element switch stopped working on my most used unit, I did not mind paying for the repair. However, the authorized Maytag technician was unable to install the part because he states the “wiring was reversed“. He spent a long and frustrating time with the Maytag technical department but, in the end, I still have an inoperable front unit. I contacted Maytag service and was told there was absolutely nothing they could do, was given no explanation as to “reversed wiring“, and there was no one I could talk to about it, and no way to escalate my questions to a supervisor. I was given a complaint number but told that no one would be calling me back about anything. I was very polite and professional, but find it extremely difficult to believe that there is no way to get any answers. I still don’t know what to do about my brand new looking range.

      We purchased a nice size Maytag range/Oven in 2019. In 2021, while cooking my Christmas dinner the Oven stop working. We had to replace the element. In 2022 around the same time, the front burner on the stove stop working properly (couldn't turn it to a lower temperature). Now, when you open the oven door, the entire range blinks and eventually goes off. Sometimes you can turn one of the burners on and push start and everything comes back on. You can also sometimes unplug it from the wall and everything comes back on. Most of the time once it goes out, you have to wait three hours and it will come back on. It's like like we're going to have to purchased a new one. I have had the worst time with the product. Please don't buy the 2019 Model!!!

No forgiveness!! Disgusted.

      Maytag author review by ConsumerAffairs Research Team

      Maytag is the oldest home appliance manufacturer still operating in the U.S. and was founded in 1893. It produced its earliest cooking appliances in the early 1980s, marking its first serious foray into home products unrelated to cleaning.

      • Flexible styling: Maytag maintains consistent styling across its product lines and even across product generations, making it easy to design a kitchen around them.

      • Fitting tools: Maytag offers a variety of tools to help buyers find appliances to fit their available space.

      • Innovative appliance layouts: Maytag offers multiple units that allow users to increase their cooking space without making the overall appliance larger.

      • Compact options: Maytag's extensive choices for single cooktops and compact appliances make it a good fit for buyers with little space in their kitchen.

      • Length of warranty: Maytag's 10-year warranty is one of the longest in the industry and usually includes easy scheduling of in-home visits from the iconic "Maytag Repairman."
