Maytag Ranges/Ovens Reviews

Maytag Range($1,400.00) front burner went out. Under extended warranty. Repair man (Twin City Appliance Shreveport,La. ) took 1 month and 2 weeks during Christmas, New Holidays to arrive. Fixed the problem but made two "nicks" in porcelain top and cracked the ceramic. Maytag says, it is my responsibility even thought they sent the repair man. Also, I had renewed extended warranty plan and now they want to penalize $25.00 out of refund because the last one expired 2 days before reported. It was reported on 12-5-09 and repair man arrived on 1-23-10. Damaged the top of Range. It took many phone calls, hours of waiting, writing a three page letter and registering ret receipt requested and they never answered and also the Twin City Appliance place never returned 4 phone calls I made.

My husband and I built a new house 3 years ago, so naturally we decided to get all new appliances. I researched products and we decided to go with Maytag. Why not? Big company and well known, plus they had the double range that I wanted. We bought everything--range, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. I bought top of the line.

I have a Maytag electric range MER 5770AAW. I have run the self-clean oven two times. The first time it was under warranty and I had to call to get the door unlocked. On December 10, 2009, I called Maytag as I had misplaced the single sheet of paper with instructions how to run the self-clean feature. The woman told me to punch the self-clean button and the lock button at the same time. I did so. The self-clean cycle started. In less than an hour, the timer button started screaming. Thinking the cycle was completed, I punched cancel. About 5 hours later, the oven had plenty of time to cool and the door was locked. I called them back and was told it is out of warranty and I pleaded just tell me how to cancel the lock so I can open the door.

I purchased a new Maytag Performa Electric Range in January of 2008. On Thanksgiving Day, 2009, the two inside windows of the appliance exploded. After calling Maytag, I was told I would have to pay for the two new windows ($102.00) plus the cost to have them replaced ($105.00). It would seem that although the appliance is out of warranty, that an issue like this should require a recall.

I purchased a Maytag oven Model # MER5755AAW Series 12. The outside glass exploded one morning. No one or thing was near the kitchen let alone the oven. Granted it is tempered glass, but had I been in there with my 20 month old which I am usually every morning. This could have been a serious problem! Maytag wants to send me the glass and I just want the whole door! Thanksgiving is coming and I need a simple solution! We have been unable to cook in our oven for 2 days now. I won't use the stove for fear there could be other problems. There are sharp objects now exposed to the door.

This is the second Maytag appliance I have owned that the control panel goes out after a few years. My repairman can't even find a working one for my Maytag Performa Range (he has put in 3 so far). Poor design, poor product, expensive part, and no warranty. I'll buy appliances with dials next time.

24'' Single Gas Wall Oven with Standard Broiler Below Oven and Two Heavy-Duty Oven Racks (Stainless Steel): The oven-tempered glass on the front of my Maytag oven exploded into millions of pieces. There was not a single reason that this should have randomly happened. But research is showing me that this is far from a random accident. Hundreds of complaints have been cited online referring to this oven glass problem, but I can't find any reference to show that Maytag is recalling or reimbursing this product. I think the company should be made accountable.

We bought from Sears in 2003 a Maytag stainless steel convection range which cost us more than one thousand dollars and since the beginning, it seemed to me that something was wrong with it. Sometimes when I ignited the burners, I would hear a small exploding sound and the flame would come out like a big flash. I got scared of being burned. Then it was the broiler, with the same sound. I turn on the broiler and I have to wait a long time for it to ignite. I do have to open the oven door several times and then that is when it ignites sending out a big blast of flame and sound, and other times I have to shut it off because it will not ignite at all and I have to run to the grill outside to broil my food. Then the coil that goes around inside the oven door became damaged from the heat. We called Sears and one of their contractors came, charged us $280 to change it. He looked at the ignition problem, didn't do anything about it and went away while I had to deal with this very scary nuisance.

We purchased a Maytag range (model #MGRH865QDW, serial #13477333NE) in approximately June of 2008. The delivery was attempted on several ranges over a seven week period. They were damaged or dented and either never made to our home for delivery (the delivery company started checking them before wasting their time delivering) or were refused when they arrived. We contacted Home Depot (where we purchased the range) to see about exchanging our purchase for something different and they said we had to deal with Maytag. Once we finally accepted delivery on a range, which does have a small dent in it in the same place as all the others, we used it for approximately six months and my husband walked by one night and a spark came from the oven and it shut off and would not turn back on.

Under the warranty period (1 year from purchase), the ignitors on my gas cooktop stopped functioning and all 4 knob broke at the hub - the plastic simply cracked and broke off during normal use. Maytag said they had no record of my registration, but I have the email reply from them.

We bought a Maytag Electric Range in November 2005, Model# MERH752BAB. Then on Saturday, August 14, 2009, my Sister and I were sitting in the kitchen at 11:00pm and all of a sudden we heard this terrible noise and when we turned around to see what happened, we realized the front glass on the range had exploded. There were little pieces of glass everywhere. My grandchildren had left about an hour before or this could have been a disaster as they are usually in the Kitchen. It took us both about an hour to clean the mess up, of course we were really shaking.

I had a big remodel in my kitchen and I decided to purchase the best appliances I could. The name Maytag was, in my mind, one of the most reliable brands. It turned out I was very wrong. None of the appliances are working fully right now. The stand-alone range does not have a working broiler. After calling a repairman, he diagnosed the problem as a computer problem that costs over $554 to repair. So, I will be without a broiler until something else fails in the stove that forces me to purchase a new one.

I purchased all new high end appliances in 2003 from Maytag. We choose to buy Maytag/JennAir as a result of what we thought was a good reputation. In 2006, our stove ceased working. Under warranty, we replaced the electrical panel on the stove. In 2007, this part broke again. We waited almost a year without an oven in an attempt to negotiate it being covered under warranty. It was eventually replaced under warranty. Aside from this, I must mention that each time we still had to pay for service calls.

This complaint is about the poor design of the Maytag Gemini gas range (Serial Number: 12863844GN / Model Number: MGR6875ADQ). The electronic control panel malfunctions due to to the heat generated when using the stove top burners. This is the second time this has happened. When I contacted the Maytag consumer unit, I advised them of these problems and told them that it is obviously the result of poor design. Their response was they have had no other complaints of this nature involving the Gemini model. I had to pay for the first repair which was made just about one year ago.

I purchased several Maytag appliances in March 2002. Double oven wiring had to be replaced then the first time I tried to use the self cleaning feature, it didn't work. This was replaced under warranty. The worst is my Maytag Z side by side. About 3-4 years ago, I noticed rusting in the door around the water and ice in the door feature. I complained at the time and got no response from Maytag but I did order replacement parts for this area which never came and received no communication. Also, I could not find a way to follow up. I really need a new freezer door for my refrigerator. I have heard some other people have had similar problems. The door continues to rust more over time. Maytag needs to address this problem. It is a design flaw.

Our Maytag range has an upper and lower oven, it is stainless steel. Shortly after turning on the upper oven self clean feature, a fire started. An attempt to cancel the self-clean failed, it would not cancel. Because the oven door locks during a self-clean, we were unable to open the door to put out the fire. Another attempt to cancel the self-clean using the touch control panel failed. The door was then forcibly removed and the fire was put out with flour. Our kitchen still smells like smoke, the upper oven in ruin. Our house was filled with smoke; our carpet and furniture upholstery, all had to be cleaned. We no longer trust this unit.

My Maytag/Magic Chef stove, model #CGR3765BDC and serial #10666498YD, turned itself on while my husband and I were out. We were gone for about 6-7 hours and returned home to a very hot house that had a bleach smell. We could not turn the oven off. The panel displayed the numbers 6666. I burnt the tips of my fingers trying to touch the control panel. The oven was that hot! We didn't know whether to call the fire department or the gas company. We called an emergency into the gas company, standing by, in case we needed to call the fire department. The gas man shut the gas and electric off to the oven. Now we don't have a stove or oven and I'm scared it will do this again, even if repaired.

We bought a Maytag Electric glass top stove/oven about 3 years ago. We were having problems while on warranty and had it fixed at no charge. Once off warranty, the oven door would not close properly. It was partially open so it could not heat properly. We had the serviceman in to repair. He ordered a new part and came back, $200. The door fell off within 6 months. Another call and it was $120. Since then, the door has fallen off most times when used. Now we cook in it only on special occasions and we have to be careful to hold the door so it won't fall off. Once we are done using it, we take the door off until we need to use it again. Thankfully it is just my husband and I, so we are able to use a toaster oven to bake for ourselves. We have spent more money for service and parts than it is worth. After reading the stories, we will not repair it again. It will go to the dump.

I cleaned the ovens and they never unlock. Whatever happened burnt out the top front burner and now the temperature of both ovens just keeps going up. So there is an oven in our kitchen that we are unable to use. I am very unhappy that they cannot find anyone that knows anything about Maytag which I might add is the worst experience I have ever had in my life.

Plastic knobs on top of flat glass cooktop melt and crack. I have replaced it sixteen times. Obvious design flaw. Maytag blames us, saying we are using pans that are too big for the burners. Not so! They offered us 15% rebate on purchase of a new Maytag, Whirlpool, KitchenAid or Jenn-Air. The appliance is 3 years old and should have lasted 10-15 years at minimum. I paid $650. New top is $800. 15% is $120. I'm out $530.

I bought a Maytag range and a Maytag combo washer/dryer unit. Both are approximately 2 years old and both are not working. Maytag has a 1-year warranty. When you call, they say they made the warranty 1 year so they could lower their prices. They didn't lower their prices. Their products don't hold up. Don't buy them. Now I have to repair these darn pieces of trash at my own expense. Don't buy them!

I purchased a Maytag Gas Range Model # MGR5755QDW in Jan. of 06. I have used the oven but in the last year, it has not been working properly. Finally, I had the repairman out and he said it would take about $400 to fix. After reading all the comments on this website, I'm not sure I want to fix it. I contacted Maytag but there is no answer as yet. I will update if I hear anything.

My husband and I purchased a brand new home with brand new appliances that were provided by the builder. We have been in the home for about a year and a half. Of course, the appliances are made by Maytag. About 6 months ago, we noticed that our oven started locking up, shutting off on its own and cutting on by itself. My husband checked the breaker and it had not flipped. So he cut the breaker to turn it off and then flipped it back to on. Since the first incident, it happened a handful of times.

My Maytag oven model mer5775qab was not heating properly. Not only did the oven take a long time to heat, but the oven didn't even heat up evenly. I contacted Sears and the manufacturer and they did nothing but give me a headache.

The Maytag person went out of business.

Maytag oven (MODEL #MER5755QAW) made a loud pop noise then sizzled. The only thing that works now are the top burners. We replaced the heating unit on the inside, but it still does not work. $250.00 replacement part and it still doesn't work! Have to buy a new stove.

In January 2002, I purchase a Maytag washer and dryer. Being from the old school, they were the best, and now it was my turn to have them. Most of my appliances have lasted a minimum of 10 years, and some as much as 15 years. However, my wonderful Maytag washer is for the birds, unfortunately. I now have found out that the pride (?) of Maytag has slipped and the plastic parts wear-out much faster than they should. For the past year or more, my washer sounds like a locomotive going through the house, and I can't even put in a full load because of the slippage in the spin. I guess I'm writing to say goodbye to Maytag as we are now going to purchase a new washer, most likely Whirlpool from what the repairman says. Also, I guess Jennair, according to consumer reports, isn't doing much better than Maytag. Why are you letting this happen? No longer will I recommend this brand for anything. So I guess I'm just writing to say goodbye, and I hope you will do better in the future and make a change to your current standards.

I am looking for any information on the fire hazard of proper use of the self cleaning feature of the Maytag Range Model MERL752BAW. I have used the feature twice - first resulting in a burned out element, and the second time resulting in failure of the unit just before a fire began. The oven tripped the breaker, broke both elements, resulting in the melting of the wire that leads to one element, scorching the electronics and insulation. Thank heaven we were home and closely watching the unit, which resulted in our being able to avoid a kitchen fire. Certainly, we are not the only ones to experience this poor performance, resulting in a very dangerous situation. Yet, I don't see a reference to this product in Maytag's your Recall Information link.

I bought Maytag Gemini double oven stove and have not liked it since day one. Stove control was partially covered by the top cover being the wrong size. They did come out and replace it immediately. However, the stove is junky, just plain junky. It is hard to clean outside and inside, lots of crevices to hide dirt and grease. The grates are cheap and the paint is cracking off. The burners heat unevenly. The burner knobs do not adjust the flames. The oven heat unevenly too, except the convection functions, which do cook as they are supposed to. I have not used the clean function and am now afraid to after all the fire reports. I bought this stove for the convection oven and the small oven and am VERY DISAPPOINTED in MAYTAG. OUTSOURCING and LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL strike again. The customer service number for US Appliances, which now own Maytag, is 866-259-3603. If they are flooded with calls and squealed on, they will change.

I have complained about the Maytag stove twice about it going on by itself and twice they have come out to fix it! Well, let me tell you it's happening again and I would like for the item to be recalled and sent a new one! No more repairs for me. This happened at 9:50 pm. I hear a beeping sound and stove went off on high. I went into the kitchen and shut it down! I'm scared to use the stove now! Please help me!

We built a house in 2000 and bought all new Maytag appliances: dishwasher, refrigerator and stove. Last summer, the Maytag dishwasher had a recall due to an electrical problem and Maytag paid for the parts and service to fix the appliance. This weekend, my Maytag gas stove exploded after the feed values leading into the burners broke. Fortunately, no one in my family was injured and my house is still standing. After turning off the gas to the stove, we looked underneath the burners and the insulation that separates the stovetop from the oven is clearly charred and both front values to both front burners are defective.

I purchased Maytag Gas Oven, with Model #MGR5751BDS, in July of 2008. It failed directly out of the box. First, the oven clock quit, then the burners wouldn't light, and then the oven would cook at random temperatures. I called customer service (what a nightmare). After an hour, I finally got a service appointment scheduled. Seven months have gone by, and the oven has been serviced multiple times. Each repair requiring two visits (one for the diagnostic, one for after the new parts arrived) with each repair set for between 8 am and 5 pm. By Thanksgiving, the oven could not be trusted to operate at the correct temperature at all, and by Christmas it simply quit working.

The ceramic cooktop is useless. Even on Day One, when I boiled water in a brand new pot which I had duly washed before using, rinsed carefully, etc., etc., with the repairman standing beside me witnessing the entire episode, the cooktop developed a hard-to-clean stain. The pricey stuff they sell for clean-ups is a joke; Softscrub works at least as well for a 10th of the price. In the end, the kind local appliance dealers gave me a spare cooktop to put on the thing when I sell my house someday.

I bought the washer on 4/13/04. I had service calls on 3/17/05, 7/5/05, 6/29/05, 12/8/05, 5/15/06 and 7/12/06. All the service calls where because the machine was continuously getting noisier. They would replace the electrical motor, the water pump, the milk stool, and the spin belt. I was told by one service man that he never bought a new Maytag and that his washer was noisier than mine. I finally gave up, lived with the noise, and quit purchasing the extended warranty. The noise stayed pretty much the same until December 2008 when it sounded like a jet engine. I replaced the spin belt and idler pulley, but this did not help. I noticed the noise was extremely bad during the spin cycle and could be heard very clearly when the door was opened up during the spin cycle.

In 07/07 I purchased a Maytag Range MER5875RCS for $1500.00. The oven temperature would vary by 100 degrees. Three service calls later, they replaced the computer and the temperature probe. Temperatures still vary by 30 to 40 degrees. At 10 months, the 110 volt receptacle on the face of the stove required replacement. At 13 months, the burner on the cooker top quit working. The only thing worse than this range is MAYTAG'S (WHIRLPOOL) service department. I have called the service department three times now. The company has done nothing to address the issues with my range. The company where I purchased the range has offered to buy it back for $500.00. A far cry from the $1500.00 I paid just a little over a year ago. The Maytag of today is not the same company it once was. I recommend that you do some research. Whirlpool owns Maytag, Amana, JennAir, KitchenAid and others. I will never spend another red cent on a Maytag appliance or any of the affiliated brands for that matter.

Our '93 Maytag wall oven's keypad had to be replaced after 9 yrs of service. It had to be replaced again after 5 yrs. Now, about 9 months later, the part has failed again. Maytag claims the unit has met its life expectancy of 15 yrs. I don't agree and believe the reliability of the replacement part is the problem. Replacing the wall oven's keypad is a $300 expense. I am reluctant to replace this part a third time when its reliability is certainly in question.

My oven went out the las week of July and I call in for repair service . I had to wait a week before they could send any one out to service it I explain to them that my family was having a family reunion and that I need my oen repair. I also explain to them that my husband and I were Diebetic and that we do not eat a lot of fried food Well the repair man came a week later and put in a recondition part. He never check to see if the part work in just install and left . I tried to use my oven and it still did not work,ao I had to call for service again.

Bought a very expensive Maytag Gemini electric double oven smooth top range in September 2000 from Sears. Since they I am constantly bombarded with F9-5 and F1-6 error codes. The computer clock panel has been replaced at least 3 times. Last night it went out again. The ovens won't preheat. Ovens dead. Is it possible there is a Lemon Law to have this useless range replaced?

Maytag Neptune washer and dryer were bought approx 3-4 years ago. Have been having a oder, almost a burning oder, but could not detere the oder to be more prevelant. I have also been having a bad time with mold allergies. Today I read about Neptune washer and mold problems I am going for simple and cheap machines since workmanship and parts are poor no matter what you pay. When I have to replace I won't be so upset. And not a Maytag.

i have five kids and two of them are newborn my oldest is seven, i feel i got ripped off and maytag said if the pronlem is fixable they will fix it but if it is not fixable they will give me 15% off a new stove what is that nothing. I feel this stove is very hazoradus and it should be recalled.

We purchased this new Maytag Precision Touch Control 500 Electric Smoothtop Model# MER5755QAW at Sears four years ago. Today I was preheating the oven to 425 to bake a pie. I waited 45 minutes for the oven to preheat. It only reached a temperature of 210. I Canceled it out and tried again, no use it would not work. We shut off the breaker to the stove and retried it, nothing! The oven is not working. After coming online and doing some research, I found this site for consumers and have discovered that this has been a major problem for many of these Maytag appliances.

This element had been replaced 2 years earlier because it was burned out???

our maytag stove door auto lock cycles like crazy until finally giving an F9 code dropping out the bake and broil functions.This occurred during the night when it when into its auto cleaning mode. I am a technician by trade of such equipment, kitchen and resturant.I found a bad control board. This is a 2000 dollar range and you know what? After reading the complaints, its going to the dump. Im cutting my losses now because it sounds like maytag appliances are really worth more at the scrap yard than they are off the assembly line.

I have a Maytag range, MEM5750BAB, which was purchased June 26, 2006. In May of 2007, the Electronic Range Control burned out, and had to be replaced under warranty, parts, service call and labor included. June of 2008, the Electronic Range Control has burned out again, and the manufacturer warranty has expired. The ERC price is approximately $200.00. I have a $1000.00 deductible on my homeowner's insurance. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and $200.00 puts a serious financial strain on our budget. Maytag needs to build appliances that last longer than just a couple of years!

We recently purchased a Maytag freestanding range, MGRH865 for our new home. As soon as we began using the oven, it would not turn off. We saw smoke come out from behind the oven and had to unplug it to turn it off. The company that Maytag contracts to service their ovens told us that a screw went into a wire during manufacturing and burnt the board.

We purchased a Maytag electric stove at Home Depot in 2/07. After 2 weeks of owning it, I called for service because the stovetop was becoming dangerously hot, even far away from the elements. Hot enough that water would sizzle and evaporate immediately. Since I have small kids this really scared me, since even the edges of stove were hot enough to burn them.

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.
