Maytag Refrigerators

I purchased 2019 a Maytag Stainless Steel MFI2570FEZ 36" French Door Refrigerator with 24.7 cu. ft. after my LG for 10+ years died. I thought Maytag, maybe that means something. Their warrant was pretty on the sales floor. Today, 4 years later it stopped completely and abruptly by popping the GFI circuit breaker. I rushed all my food into a 1990s fridge in my garage (a trustworthy one). I had it serviced with genuine Whirlpool parts fixing the relay and capacitor as the fridge turned on $120 parts and labor. The fridge appeared to work for 3 days, then it randomly stop and started not even turning on at all again popping the GFI.

Paid $2760 for Maytag MF12570FEW refrigerator. It lasted 16 months and died. The 10 year limited warranty does not cover very much and seems to be advertising hype. Paid over $300 out of pocket for parts and technical advice. The fridge lasted 2 more days and once again I lost my frozen food. I am now told that it is the compressor and sealed system. Terribly disappointed with what I thought was a quality brand.

I paid almost a thousand bucks for this refrigerator and have been having issues from day One... The problems started during the 1st month, the light went out in the freezer and our liquids in the refrigerator started busting and spilling all over the place, then in the same week a shelf proved to be flimsy and cracked under normal wear. I called the company David's appliance in Edmond Oklahoma and they passed the buck to a local repair shop who were designated to take care of Maytag appliances.

We bought this refrigerator as it was almost identical as a Kenmore refrigerator that has lasted 15 years. What a disappointment. 1. The frame for the bottom shelf broke around 1 year - it was covered by warranty, but due to the design it is bound to break again. It is the shelf that supports the vegetable and fruit drawers and on which one usually puts drinks and heavy things and it supported by a thin plastic frame and a metal bracket at the front. No support in the middle at the back not even from the refrigerator frame (which would have been so easy to provide). I macgyvered a bracket to support the frame at the back as I know it will break again.

We bought our brand new Maytag refrigerator in October of last year, so it's still under warranty. It stopped working September 14th. The warranty department couldn't get anyone out to fix it until two weeks after I called. When the service tech came out, he couldn't assess what the problem was because we had unplugged it. He scheduled another appointment 2 more weeks later. In the meantime, we lost all the food in our refrigerator/freezer & ended up buying a used refrigerator to keep in our garage.

The brackets that make the door open and close are just screwed Into the plastic lining with no kind of anchors. If you use the freezer a lot the screws come loose. Can’t close the door. And then 300 dollars later a service call. All to replace a screw. That’s just fine but the hole is stripped because no one could install a 50 cent anchor on installation at the factory. No more Maytag for me.

Very poor quality product. Had to replace damper motor shortly after having the appliance for 3 years with below average use. Motor is made of flimsy plastic piece that breaks. Then you have to pay $275 for the cost of call and part.

I purchased an appliance package of washer dryer, refrigerator and dishwasher. All of the appliances needed many repairs. It took four icemakers in the fridge before it actually was fixed. The worst appliance was the dishwasher it was repaired every three months for six years! Washer and dryer died after five years.

I bought a fridge from Home Depot. It was on sale and not a Maytag. Somehow they delivered a Maytag. I am over-the-top happy with my fridge. It keep things cold. It is roomy, It has separate temp controls for the freezer and fridge. The bright LED lighting is wonderful. It is energy efficient. It is easy to move around when I need to clean under it. It was delivered right away.

I brought a French door bottom freezer refrigerator from Maytag November 2016. When you use the water dispenser it floods the place, so we stopped using it. It starts making a very loud noise and after several phone calls a technician was sent out. He said the condenser fan wasn't working and they don't have the part in stock so I should stop using the refrigerator. I explained that I am diabetic and my medication must be kept in the fridge, he said, "That's not my problem." I called the customer service department, spoke to one Latera who said it's unfortunate but Maytag doesn't cover medication. I called again and spoke with a supervisor who told me the parts weren't available and if I am diabetic I should go and buy a small compact fridge to store my medication. No empathy, no HUMANITY just plain rude. I will never again buy any appliances from Maytag, Whirlpool or any of their other affiliates as Maytag/Whirlpool are one and the same.
