Maytag Ranges/Ovens Reviews

One star is the lowest I can give. I’d make a negative # if possible. I’ve had no repairs needed at 2 yrs use, however, this is the most difficult oven to control the heat. Virtually impossible to toast bread. For example set at 3 minutes the butter melts at 21/2 min. But the toast is black in the last 30 seconds. It also pre heats at incredible temps and burns food! I’ve had other brands in 3 different homes in the past several years that are fine. This is terrible! Never, never buy a Maytag.🤢

Whirlpool/Maytag refused to replace the glass cooktop while under warranty. On August 14th their recommended technician came out to examine a hairline crack in our electric Maytag oven/cooktop. Whirlpool/Maytag refused to replace the repair because they called the crack cosmetic. I called back and scheduled another service call with a different repair company that they sent on the 29 of August and they again denied the replacement even after this service call there were now 2 cracks.

Purchased a new Maytag range from the Brick in November 2023. This spring the range door separated. The stainless steel front cover separated from the outer glass. My wife’s finger was badly lacerated by the cover as she grabbed the handle to open the oven door. Contacted the Maytag Warranty Department and was told to discontinue using the stove and they would send out a service rep to checkout. The rep contacted us and informed us that only parts were covered. We are responsible for mileage and labour. So no range until fixed, bad laceration on hand and out of pocket expense to us. Do not recommend Maytag products at all.

The new oven Arced, blowing a hole in the panel. The warranty service has been horrible. All I keep hearing is, “We’re sorry, but we can’t do anything until a service technician comes to inspect the appliance.” The appliance arced and literally blew a hole in the back of the oven shield. It is clearly unsafe, and we cannot use it. We scheduled an appointment for three days after the incident, only to have the appliance company reschedule it the next week. Once again, the service was rescheduled. I don’t want a repair. This is a serious manufacturing defect, and now I’m stuck with a dangerous oven in my home that I can’t use and can’t get help with. This is completely unacceptable.

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.

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 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!
