Maytag Ranges/Ovens Reviews

2/04 purchased Maytag range #mer5755qwa. Thanksgiving Day 11/07 circut control board burned out. the top worked,but not the oven, broiler, self-clean. sp no dinner!! Ordered $200 part, installed, used oven 6 times, burned out again. Went online to see if anyone else had a problem..wow! the response about this defective stove is interesting. How can we consumers get a recall or compensated?

called ace to get parts for maytag range (also have maytag fridge, washer dryer, dishwasher), bought parts and found out i didn't need the handle, which came to $57.10.return to store to get refund, but ace co. would not refund money. by the way it wasn't anything to do with maytags appliances, i damaged the vent on the door. the part was unused and i was wondering how to get refund from this co? part no. 74003620. i feel that they should have refunded my money, they are a repair shop for all brands of appliances. but they will get no recommendations from me to anyone.

I purchase a Maytag Gemini double oven in 2001. It worked fine for a few years. I have had to put hundreds of dollars into stove and still cannot get it fixed. They put new elements in both ovens, and stated maybe it was the main board which would be $300.00. THe Board keeps beeping and saying call an 800 number for F1 or F3 service. No one can figure out what is wrong. I have to shut the breaker off to my oven to get it to quit beeping. The stove is not even usable.

In June 2006 we purchased a Maytag Gemini double oven stove as part of a kitchen remodel. In September of 2007 our electronic control panel would not let us shut off the stove. We had to trip the breaker to shut it off. It was repaired with a new panel (out of warranty). June 2008 finds us with the same problem, a control panel that will not shut off. Maytag says too bad. One repair I can accept. Two repairs of the same part in less than a year is a pattern. Maytag should be held accountable for defective parts.

For the third time now since we purchaced this oven, it has stopped working and displays the F1-1 Fault code indicating a problem with the upper oven sensor. After replacing both upper and lower sensor, the Fault returns after a day or so. The oven will not heat properly and both ovens appear to be affected. The first time this happened we pestered Sears until they actually replaced the oven. This persistant fault should be dealt with by the manufacturer.

We have a 2 year old Maytag Gemini double oven (gas) that is a major disappointment. A year ago the touch panel for the upper oven broke so if pressed the oven cannot be turned off unless we pull the entire stove out and unplug it. We have experienced random clicking of the pilot light with gas smells and tonight while wiping it down experienced a fire! Some water got into it and flames were coming up from where the dials are. It was terrifying to see this on fire when dealing with natural gas.

Apx 4 months ago we purchased a Maytag stove at Home Depot, the oven was not reaching above 250 degrees and the burners were not powerfull at all. So we called for service. After five service calls the stove is still not working and Maytag is not deeming this stove unrepairable, they changed many parts on it and it still does not work. We have not been able to cook since we bought it and i'm tired of it. Just wanted to know who can help me speed this process.

I purchased a Maytag, electric 30 free standing slide-in range in 2001. July 03 after using self clean control panel broke. This was covered under extended warranty. Oct. 07, same thing. Took a month to finally get it results after terrible tech advice causing me almost electrocute myself. Again, last week, self cleaned the oven and now the control panel is out again. I can not get anyone from Maytag to return my calls this time. This is obviously a flaw in design or intentional flaw to require frequent, expensive part replacement.

I too bought a Maytag Gemini double oven. Top oven handle has broke on the right side, and now botton oven handle has broke on the left side. We paid over $1200. We are two seniors with on children in the house. Have used the botton oven maybe 3 times since we purchased. pleased do not buy Maytag, after reading the reviews now I am scared to use the self cleaning feature.

Used self clean feature on stove and it melted the door and draw of my cabinets. There was a recall in 2001 on my model stove for safety reasons. cabinets catching fire and posing a fire hazard. Maytag advised for consumer to stop using broiler and self clean feature until Maytag comes to fix. However according to Maytag's safety department my serial number does not qualify for recall.

In July 2006 we purchased a Maytag Percision Control 500 Electric Smoothtop Range Model MER5755QAW from Sears. After years of seeing the commericals for the Maytag man with nothing to do we thought this would be a good brand. Two months ago the oven stopped working. It wouldn't preheat past 100. The cooktop works, but the oven and self cleaning does not.

In July 2006 we purchased a Maytag Percision Control 500 Electric Smoothtop Range Model MER5755QAW from Sears. After years of seeing the commericals for the Maytag man with nothing to do we thought this would be a good brand.

I seldom contribute to these blogs, but since we had such a great experience with our Maytag range I felt inclined to add my 2 cents. We bought a Model MER5755QAW ceramic top range several years ago and are VERY happy with it. It has performed well in all respects. The top is very easy to keep clean. We have had NO PROBLEMS.

We purchased a Maytag Electric Double Oven Range in December 2006. Last weekend 03/30/08 we put two TV dinners in the lower oven. The element began sparking, only part of the element was hot and it was red hot, sparking. My husband turned off the oven, the element broke at the point where it was redhot. We called Maytag and they did advise they would pay for the part but not the repair.

the problem is still happing thay came for more than 8-10 times thay cant find the problem what can i do please halp use

Unfortunately I purchased five new Maytag appliances 12/30/04. I have had ongoing issues with my washer and dryer ,but my main complaint is the range (MER5755QAW). After a year of calling Maytag because the oven would not heat correctly, they replaced it with another one that barely works better. Well, the oven just died today. I thought that when I bought Maytag appliances, I was buying the best; but was I wrong. I will never buy another Maytag product again.

The first time I used the cleaning element, on my one year old glass top stove, the heating element died. Maytag said it was past warranty so I hired a repairman, purchased the part and it worked until 3/5/08. Two heating elements in three years. Once again, after cleaning it the other night, it died.

I own a Maytag Gas precision touch 500 (model number mgr5755qdq) range which I purchased approximately 2-3 years ago. The oven lock feature would come on and blink and then occasionally go off. Then it would appear more frequently. The real problem started when I either could not light the oven, or if I was cooking in the oven the door would lock itself and the oven would NOT shut off. I would have to pull the oven out from the wall and unplug it. I had a serviceman come to my home, and he stated the control panel was defective. Being a two year old stove how could a major component of the stove break. I have researched on the internet and found similar complaints. I called Maytag to see if they would cover some or all of the cost, and I was told that since the machines are man-made anything can happen. So not only am I out a stove but also the $90.00 I paid for the service call.

I was awakened by a frightening crash from the kitchen at 2:00 in the morning on January 25, 2008. Much to my amazement I realized that the front panel of my Maytag Model MEW5527DDB wall oven had exploded sending shards and pieces of black glass in a 6 to 9 foot arc around the kitchen. I couldn't believe it! This was especially puzzling as the oven had not even been used for three days. I filed a complaint with Maytag/Whirlpool online customer service on January 26, 2008.

In December 2003, we made the worst decision of our lives. We actually bought all Maytag appliances for our brand new home. Since then we have become first name basis with our nearest Maytag repair technician. Six months after installing our appliances I ran the self cleaning on our Maytag Gemini Range. 20 minutes after the start the oven glass on the bottom door blew out. The technician I was referred to, told me that is what is supposed to happen. So I asked again, every time I use the self clean option the oven glass is going to shatter? After, that conversation and money to replace the door, I should have left all the appliances on Maytag's front door at their headquarters.

About four years ago I purchased a double-oven Gemini Maygtag stove. It had performed acceptably until the handle to the top oven unit came off in my hand.

I spoke to Mr.Sparks regarding my Maytag stove because the the oven goes on by itself! Maytag was here once and replaced the part, but it still continues. Again I called Maytag and reported the problem and again they are going to replace the part. I am concerned that this problem will not end. This Oven should be recalled! As I am writing this the oven still goes on by itself and am deeply worried about this!

On a product I've owned for no more then 2 years, the 'control board' blew out.

I bought a Maytag Gemini Double Oven about two years ago. The oven worked fine for about one year, then problems started. 1) right side panel of oven became loose and bottom disconnected from frame 2) front handle on bottom oven broke on right side.

The board burnt out on my Maytag stove just after the warranty period. My bill was for $385 on a year old stove.

The baking element arced and burned up the back of the stove to the touch pad. It burned the circuit board out completely. Fire and smoke came out of the oven. Baking element is burned completely in half, and the bottom pan is burned. I called the local repairman and parts are ordered, Maytag will not pay for all the damage.

The automatic pilot started lighting itself, making the clicking sound like the gas was left on; and when I went to turn it off, it would not turn off, and then smoke was coming out the top like it was on fire. Although no flame was seen it was very scary dealing with this, with natural gas. I am currently waiting on the repair to be done. I may choose to purchase a new range, even though this one was purchased Feb. 2004, and I have never had this type of problem with an oven before EVER. Model is Maytag double oven Gemini.

My wife and I purchased all Maytag appliances for our home in 1994. Range, Microwave, Dishwasher, Refrigerator, Washer & Dryer. At the end of the first year the Range Model # CHE9800 started beeping while displaying the F-1 code. We contacted the local dealer where we purchased and Maytag. Since the Range was over a year old it was out of warrenty. Maytag agreed to provide the touch pad but we would have to pay for service call $60.00. This same problem has continued approximately every 13-23 months costing $200 parts + labor. The alarm goes off at all hours of the night making it necessary to disconnect the range after each use. Maytag admitted they had a problem with the touchpad but they were not going to redesign the part to resolve it. They just continue manufacturing faulty parts and let customers pay to replace them as needed. We have replaced the touchpad 5 times and the sixth one has failed. We decided to buy a new range this time. The Dishwasher and Washer are quite noisy and don't do a very good job of cleaning either. The Refrigerator's door squeaks loudly when opening with no way to repair without replacing the whole hinge unit. I will never buy anything made by Maytag ever!

Maytag Gemini Double Oven Electric Range Model # MER6755AAB is a no good. The coil in the bottom oven turned bright orange on one side, dark on the other side as it burned through like a fuse on a stick of dynamite. When it was done the coil blew up and caught fire. This range is not safe and the parts are next to impossible to obtain. Don't buy anything Maytag. They do not stand behind their products at all.

I purchased a Maytag oven and during the first few days the paint started to come off and the heat from the oven discolored the control panel. The ignition soon gave me problems.The serviceman repaired the ignition problem and installed a small hood to divert the heat coming from the oven but handed me a bottle of appliance paint to touch up the spots where the paint has come off.

Each time I use the cleaning feature on the Maytag Gemini Range, I get an F1-2 fault code, which means Runaway Lower Oven; Replace sensor. How do I know this? It's because it's been replaced once already! This is ridiculous that each time the range is placed in cleaning mode, the senor burns out. I love the 2-oven feature of this range, but Maytag should do a recall or find out the problem. This is getting quite expensive to call for service each time you clean the oven. But once again, I'll be calling my not so lonely....Maytag Repairman.

Maytag stove, model MGR5775QDW, is dangerous. It turns on when leaned against. Small pots get caught and tip over, and I have been burned. I am lucky my clothes haven't caught on fire. I sent a registered letter to Maytag and received a form letter saying nothing in response. The oven controls turn off when you set the clock, and I had to call a repair man to get it turned back on for a Christmas dinner.

Using up a lot more natural gas resources, which in todays economy especially is not a good thing at all. Concerned about food safety so cannot make pork chops etc in oven as will cool down then heat up

I have a Maytag gas range Model #MGRH752BDQ. It was bought in October of 2005. When I use the oven or the broiler, the heat comes up through the front vent and melts the light switch on the front panel. The button is melting, dripping, and turning black. I have had a repair person come out, but he was not able to repair it because he said he had not seen this problem before and would call and email Maytag. When he tried over the phone and online he could not get an answer from anyone regarding how to get my range repaired. I called Maytag and was told to call a repair man--and was given the run around when I said I wanted results. I want the button on my range repaired and whatever it is that is causing this to happen, taken care of. I believe it is a fire hazard, and I cannot use the oven light.

I purchased a new Maytag oven and washer in October 2005. In July '06, my oven's ignitor went out. It was still under warranty. In October '06, my washer broke down. They had to replace the bearings and the transmission.

My Maytag oven (4 yrs old) starting sparking fire inside the oven. The lower heating coil started to sparking with a very bright light like a welding rod. This started on the right side of the inside oven and burned over to the right side. While the sparking was burning on the right side, the coil was orange with heat on the left side.

I have 3 Maytag appliances. The Gemini Stove has had a gas leak from day one. Had to get the gas company out to red tag it before anyone would do anything.

My husband turned on the self cleaning cycle of our Maytag electric Gemini range and it ran through most of the cycle but at the end made all of our lights in our house go crazy. He didn't realize that the oven was causing the problem, but then it took out our whole main line and breaker box into our house.

I purchase the Maytag Gemini Smooth Top Electric Oven and have had nothing but problems. After self cleaning the oven, the inside glass shattered. About a year after the glass breaking, I turned the oven on it started to smoke and it smelled as if wires were burning, the clock went dimmer and dimmer until it went out. I decided to get rid of it. I will never purchase another Maytag product.

Maytag MER5770AAW. I purchased this range July 8, 1999, (along with the Neptune washer/dryer, and Maytag refrigerator. The refrigerator was replaced immediately. Shortly, the dryer motor went bad and it had to be replaced. There was a recall on the Neptune washer and missed my chance to have it repaired, because I did not checked the e-mail. Then, late one night I heard this continuous beeping noise, went in the kitchen and the sound was coming from the key pad, flashing F1, I pressed the cancel pad to stop the process and was not successful. Called the Corp. Office with this problem, given instructions to unplug the stove for one hour, to clear panel by holding the control lock or call a authorized Maytag service, if these procedures do not work, nothing worked. It was defective in 1999 and Maytag should bear the cost of replacing and not with a Maytag Range. The range top works, but the oven is not working at all.

Maytag MER5770AAW. The electronic range control panel went bad after cleaning the oven. It looks like the vent just below the panel allowed the extra heat to damage the panel. After reading it looks like this is a factory design defect and would not be worth investing the money to just have it fail again.

We purchased a Maytag glass top range 4 years ago. One day while preheating the oven to make a pizza, it started making a strange noise. My husband opened the oven door & he said it seemed like a rush of air just sucked into the oven. After that the oven & broiler did not work.

I purchased a Jennair gas range in August, 2004. Since that time the electronic control panel has failed 6 times, the last time being November, 2006. Each time the repair person from Maytag has made exactly the same repair, replacing the electronic control panel. When it failed in 2005, I filed a consumer protection claim with the State of Washington Attorney General's office. I reached an agreement with Maytag that if it failed again, they would replace the range.

Maytag Oven Model #MER5755QAW purchased in 2004 oven door handle came off on right side. Bought from Sears. Contacted Sears and would not replace part. Contacted local Maytag authorized repair center. When they were given the information that it was a two year old Maytag oven the lady asked if I needed an oven door handle. Decided I would try to glue it back together (brass final is pressed into plastic for screw that holds the handle on) and went to Lowes. While I was there I walked by the appliances and saw a Maytag (gas oven) with the same handle broken on the right side. I called Maytag and they said there is nothing wrong with the handle and there are no factory recalls for them.

We bought a Maytag MER5775QAN smooth top range that was installed in May 2004. The oven door handle soon came very loose. It was reinstalled under warranty. The over door handle is again loose. In addition, there is quite a bit of dust between the front and inner glass, and some brown stains on the inner glass. It appears that the door has three panes of glass. I'm not quite sure if they are glass or some other material.

We have two Maytag Magic Chef ovens. The ovens have control panels that we have replaced repeatedly over the last ten years we have owned these ovens.

We purchased a Maytag Gemini Range (model #MER6875AAS) in Nov. 04. I love the range and have had no problems with the unit. We purchased the Stainless Steel model but today realized the edges of the range doors are sharp. My 14 month son was walking in the kitchen running his hand along the lower door handle when his finger was cut in the door vents behind the handle. We inspected the range more closely and realized he could easily be cut on all the edges of the oven doors. After 2 visits to the ER today for this injury I am not sure what I am going to do with my oven! I contacted Maytag and spoke with Corporate. They don't know what to do and will research it and contact me on Monday. I hope other parents review this and check their range edges before their children are injured.

Range with the F1 fault error. The part has been replaced twice, the last time in Nov. 05. The oven stopped working, the authorized dealer would not help. In June 06, the FI fault happened AGAIN! The company insisted that the warranty was not valid because the stove is old, they would not admit that if the same exact part breaks down over and over, it is not an age issue, it is the part! I cannot use the oven at all, it won't heat over 250. I wrote to the CEO, got a call from someone who I have called back 6 times now. They keep their phones on voice mail all the time. Too many other choices to bother with this company.

We bought the most expensive smooth-top Maytag Gemini range two years ago. I have had no problems with it until I used the Self-Clean for the first time. It was set to clean for 3 hours and at some point in the cycle, I heard a loud pop followed by a series of pops, then the inside glass in the bottom oven door shattered in millions of pieces.

We moved into a brand new development in August of 2002. The builder used all Maytag appliances in all of the 200 homes in the development. In June of 2005, we began to notice that our gas range oven was not heating properly. We would set the temperature and would find that it would take almost an hour to get up to 200 degrees. We called Maytag, they told us that the range is out of warranty and what the cost would be. We decided to shop around and ended up going with a local appliance repair company.

Bought the Maytag Gemini Gas range on 11-23-2004 and used it until 8-05 when the upper igniter, in the upper oven, burned itself up, smoked up my house and threw the breaker. New igniter replaced and the service rep suggested the Extended Service Warranty because they have 'had problems'. Did that.

The oven vents along the top of the stove ave discolored when it was self cleaning . It was not terribly dirty and was set to clean 3 hours which it did but all the vents have turned a rusty yellow. I have tried several cleaners on it but have found nothing that works. I have always thought of maytag being great appliances but now I am wondering if this is happening . It is a glass top, top of the line appliance.

I bought a Maytag range in November 2004 I had trouble with the oven not heating properly. I called the repair service he came out and did a reading of the oven and told myself and my husband there was nothing wrong. The oven still does not work right so I called again for another service call he came out and did the same thing he did before still not working. I called the store and I told them I was not happy with the stove and that I wanted them to replace it. They told me that the service men were very capable of fixing the problems so they came back again.

Maytag gas range Gemini ModelMGR6772BDQ purchased Sept.2003 from a Sears store has been used daily with no mishap until Nov. 30, 2005 when the upper oven door literally exploded without any impact or any type of misuse. The door fronts we learned are made of a heavy safety glass and can suddenly break and disentegrate into small crystals with no obvious reason. This happened about ten minutes after a normal oven use during the cool down.

I purchased a smooth top range from Lowe's and the very first time I turned it on it burst into flames (this was not a gas range) because of incorrect wiring inside of the range. Lowe's was very good about coming out right away to replace the range. The second range (same model)seemed to always get too hot when we used the oven and the paint on the outside of the range began to peel off and rusting.

I purchased a Maytag range/oven, model MGR5730BDW in September, 2002. In the last month, the auto pilot light has been operating sporadically in the oven. One more than one occasion, it has not worked, filling the kitchen with natural gas and forcing us to evacuate. I contacted Maytag who said since I did not purchase the extended warranty (why would I need an extended warranty on a product less than 3 years old), it would cost me $130 for someone to come out to look at the oven plus labor and parts.

I have a maytag range MGR5745ADW the ecu had to be replaced when new. Now I've run the self clean mode and the ecu unit displays F1 and by all indications needs replaced at a cost, for just the parts, of 160.00. Is this the price I must pay for a clean oven? This range is only 4 yrs. old. How's that for reliability? I will never purchase another Maytag appliance.
