Maytag Refrigerators Reviews

I bought a Maytag bottom freezer refrigerator (Model MBF1956KEB) and the refrigerator section stopped cooling after 3 days of being delivered. The freezer's back panel forms a block of ice. I tried defrosting it manually but it does not work. I called the store where I bought it and they are trying to get it fixed ASAP, but are still waiting for the part to arrive. It has been a week.

I bought a refrigerator last December 2004. In August 2007, I had to put a new compressor - August 2009 came, and another new compressor. I have called and asked at the very least for a 4-year warranty. The response was that would give me a 10% discount on a new refrigerator. I feel that this refrigerator is a lemon. I paid $1,900 not even 5 years ago. I have had to pay for the repairman's service calls plus the cost of the food I have lost. I have been without a refrigerator for weeks at a time. I am not sure what to do from here. My fear is in another 2 years, it will go out again and the cost is $700-$900 for repair. At this point, Maytag has covered the cost of repair but only until the 5-year mark. What do I do?

We have a Maytag Plus side by side refrigerator/freezer. From early after delivery, we had to replace the ice-makers. Then, the door push pad switch went out and a service man replaced it. Shortly after this, there was a leak in door which, after a while, it started showing rust over the edge of the plastic cover. Now, we have a top of the line unit that looks like **. All because either the service man messed up, or because of a defective water connection in the door (because it leak water or moisture, causing issues with the door switch control). The repair people play this game with homeowners and factory so that homeowners get the shaft! Well, we are remolding the entire kitchen over the next several months, so guess what brand of five new appliances we're looking at?

Less than three years ago, we furnished our new home with what we thought were good quality Maytag appliances, refrigerator, washer and dryer. Currently our S/S fridge/freezer, Model #mzd2663keq, Serial # ** sticks in defrost mode. I have a temp. probe in the freezer. When it sticks & heats, you can watch the temp. go from -2 to 40 F, if the plug is not pulled. The defrost board was diagnosed by a repairman. Four boards later, it still sticks & heats. Using any of these boards, at different times - no pattern, produces a fully functional fridge, for a while. Then something else happens and causes it to stick & heat. This has been going on for months. It works, then it does not! We no longer keep anything too valuable in the freezer section. We rely on the old freezer in the garage.

I purchased a $1700 Maytag side-by-side fridge and have had nothing but problems with it -The ice maker constantly jams (It has been replaced.), the water holding tank has been converted to a tube system, the drawers don't keep the correct temperature, and after the 2009 safety relay recall, the fridge stopped working. As it is no longer under warranty, I was forced to pay a $276 bill to have it fixed. The A&E service rep told me the part cost $88, but the labor was almost $200. It took him literally 10 minutes to replace this part. When I asked how much they charged per hour, he told me they don't charge by the hour but by the job code. It sounds like bologna to me.

Maytag refrigerators had a relay recall. My refrigerator fell under the recall but had actually failed before the recall (part melted and smoked). When Sears came out to fix the fridge, the individual service call was going to cost more than purchasing a service agreement, so we paid for our repair by buying the service agreement ($50 cheaper). Maytag will not reimburse for the service agreement, even though we would never have called Sears or purchased a service agreement if our fridge hadn't failed due to their faulty relay.

The refrigerator is not cold and the freezer is icing over. This has happened a few times now. Luckily, we still have insurance on it. We bought this from Sears in 8/2002. It used to be a year between repairs. Now it happens every 6 months that something goes wrong. I go into the internet about Maytag today and found out it is still happening today with the new Maytags. How come you people haven't stepped up and notified the public of this? Not in your magazine, but on TV where it would get to all the people and stop the public from buying this piece of junk product. It tells me that you guys are no help at all and are part of the problem.

I am very disappointed in my Maytag french door refrigerator which I purchased in April 2006! I thought I was purchasing a very good product. Wrong. I spent over $2000 for an inferior product. First, the computer board went out in first year and a half. Warranty barely covered it with a lot of runaround. It took me hours on the phone complaining. Finally, Maytag agreed to pay. This year, July 2009, the icemaker went out. I called Maytag and no recall from what service rep said. I can't believe that something that expensive has problems so early in its life. My grandparents believed in Maytag; unfortunately, things have changed so do not buy this product.

We received notification of the recall from Maytag in April 2009. We were scheduled for repair on July 9. We waited all day but received a call from A&E service (It's apparently a company Maytag contracted with. We have heard they are owned by Sears.) at 4:45 saying they would not be able to make it out that day. They came on Friday, July 10 and installed the relay.

My fridge suffered a short circuit, blew up the compressor, and scorched the wall behind the fridge. The costs of repair were too high to merit doing it. So we threw the fridge out. We then learned of the recall. Maytag is not offering to compensate for anything other than the 78$ diagnosis. They refuse to discuss this further. They admit the fridge was faulty, but since I don't have the fridge, they won't do anything about it. If a class action suit gets going, I would vote yes.

This is related to the Maytag recall on the side-by-side refrigerators. The recall part was installed about five weeks ago. After about a week, the fridge began to get too cold and the milk froze. So, my wife turned down the temperature. Within a couple more weeks, the fridge got really warm. So I turned it up to max, but that didn't fix it and some of the food spoiled.

We had our Maytag refrigerator's side-by-side relay switch replaced on 7/8/09 because of a Maytag factory recall notice. The very next refrigerator was broken. They sent another repairman out the following day to fix and charged us $286, claiming it was unrelated to the relay switch replacement. We purchased our refrigerator in 2002 and have not had any problems with it until they replaced the relay switch.

We purchased a Maytag refrigerator in March 2005. About 1 year later, the ice/water dispenser stopped working and we noticed a burnt smell. And the release bar for the ice dispenser was melted. I called Fry's, and they refused to help, citing I didn't bought the in-store warranty. I called Maytag. They stated that they have a documented warranty for me and asked if I registered the product. They said they could send a repairman but with fees.

Well, they got me too. Relay switch was replaced on my Maytag side by side refrigerator on June 30, 2009 right after that the unit stopped cooling. I had a second repair guy stop, problem is not related. Yeah right! They want $280.00 to repair the unit. I declined. Then they wanted to charge me $80.00 for the service call.

I purchased a new side-by-side refrigerator from HHGregg on May 11, 2008. The ice maker has never worked right, and it finally quit working in March 2009. I called and visited the store (HHGregg), and I had warranty paperwork for 5 additional years. Customer service folks at the number provided told me to call a local repairman, and I did. Well, it is now, July 12, 2009; and they still haven't shipped correct parts yet. They promised by Friday. I have spoken with way too many people to list, but this is ridiculous beyond belief.

Our refrigerator compressor, and possibly the relay, stopped working, so we had a repairman come look at it. He said that he had replaced two relays in the fridge but that it looked like the compressor was shot. So we called Maytag, and the person we spoke with said that it was out of warranty and that they could not help. So 4 days went by and we're trying not to spend $4700.00 in repairs. But we had to go to Lowe's and purchase a new Whirlpool fridge ($1190.00). The day after we bought the new fridge, we got a letter from Maytag which indicated that Amana have been having problems with a certain model number and serial number and that they give the listings. Ours match the recall serial number and model number, but when we called back, Kevin told us that even though the model and serial number matched, it is "not" one of the ones on the recall (after we mentioned the fridge was broken).

I have the Maytag Wide by Side refrigerator. For the second time now, it has gone out. The first time the defroster went out - causing the refrigerator to quit cooling - then causing us to lose food, etc. Got the replacement part - then got the recall repair (the fire hazard) - now it has gone out again - can't get the refrigerator under 65 degrees. I have a $300 refrigerator in my garage that has performed infinitely better than this $1,700 one. The consequences were; lost food, repairs that didn't fix the problem and a refrigerator that doesn't work.

Simple Maytag refrigerator, MTB1956 GEQ. 7.3 years later the freezer fan dies; 4" Panasonic fan-motor combo. $155.38 parts, $178 labor. Purchase warranty for $81, A&E truck. 11 months later, it dies. Replace under warranty motor start relay and motor capacitor. Relay made in Brazil. Service van is not A&E, but an unmarked truck with no yellow pages listing. No receipt offered.

I bought this French-door refrigerator on January 7, 2008. I contacted Maytag in June 2009 to see if they could help with the expense of repair. They gave me the name of their repair service. A serviceman came out to do repair and found out that he needed a repair board to make the repair. After he left, we found out that nothing worked anymore. We had to remove all items from the refrigerator. We lost several items and we had to wait a week for repair. Maytag finally said they would pay for parts but not for labor. This was an expensive repair and it was only 16 months old.

A&E Factory Service came to replace the recalled relay switch in our fridge. The technician then said that the condenser fan was not working and needed to be replaced. I had never had any problems with the fridge and demanded that the work be done at no charge. A&E refused, but Maytag said they would authorize the repair at no charge. When a second technician from A&E came 4 days later, he said the electrical connection was good but the fan motor was burned out. Maytag then denied saying they would authorize the work and I told the technician to leave. When my husband went to remove the fan with the intention of replacing it himself, he saw that one of the electrical terminals was bent/unconnected. When connected properly, the fan worked fine. Either A&E has incompetent technicians or they are intentionally sabotaging appliances to obtain more work. Why does Maytag continue to hire this company when there have been so many similar complaints?

Maytag French Door SS: It is 2 1/2 years old. I have called for service on the ice maker at least 3 times and mickey moused it the other times to get it to make ice cubes. I had the guy out today, and well, it needs a new ice maker already. You spend $2500 on it, and it breaks after 2 plus years. Come on, Maytag, do a recall and fix the problem so it doesn't break. It's probably the motor mechanism. Help all of us!

We have a side by side Maytag 2003. There is no build up on defroster but water comes into freezer from defroster area onto freezer floor. It builds up and also leaks out and onto our floor. Now, our floor has buckled on both side of refrigerator and freezer. It seemed to start after repairman fixed recall item a month ago. We had defective defrost controller replaced in 8/08.

My refrigerator was on the recall list for possible fire hazard. Repairman came out to replace a part which took 10 minutes. After he left, our freezer stopped working and now the refrigerator side has stopped working. Complete loss of food. Being Sunday, I did get an answer at Maytag and A&E but nothing can be scheduled until Monday. I am a mother and this is an extremely difficult situation to manage with two small children. I am mad and moved to file a complaint and investigate starting or participating in a class action. I know others have stated the same. We are all being taken advantage of. This is not the first time I have complained about Maytag and their supposed service. I filed an e-complaint directly to them two years back for their handling of my ice machine repair.

I had a leak at the water line connection, the tray and tray holder under the water/ice dispenser. Maytag should stick with washers/dryers as they make a lousy refrigerator. I should have bought a Kenmore! The water leak left marks on the kitchen carpet that cannot be removed. I'm unable to completely remove stains from the tray. Also, the tray holder is rusty!

I purchased a Maytag refrigerator, model # MTB2156GEW, five years ago. Within two years, motor in freezer burnt out and had to be replaced. I called Maytag and they replaced motor. It cost over $250 in parts and labor. I watched him repair, remove cover, remove two screws, remove clamp and plug new motor in. Well, this part burnt out again, not even three years and it's bad. I called seven places to get this part. It is on backorder until July 15, 2009 with no guarantee that they will have it then. I spoke with Maytag and found out about faulty relay switch. They sent a tech out from A&E. I waited all day from 8 am to 5 pm. He came at almost 5, supposed to replace part, left me no paperwork or proof that this part was replaced.

I have Maytag Fridge MFI2569VEM0, double doors with freezer on bottom. It’s new fridge and we have new house. Ice maker has broken and flooded our kitchen twice. It was repaired once and the repairman promised it was a “fluke”. Fridge goes back to Appliance Store tomorrow! It damaged the wood floor and ceiling in the lower level.

I had a fridge delivered on June 5th that I ordered from an actual Maytag store and not a reseller like Best Buy. I paid $1000 for the side by side and purchased a three-year warranty. The guys came to deliver it the next week and I thought it was strange that the same guy who sold it to me also delivered it but no biggie. They came in and took out my old one (the compressor went out). Then I got called outside to take a look at the fridge. As soon as I walked outside, you could see a golf ball sized dent in the side of it. I did not purchase a scratch and dent fridge. John, the seller and delivery guy, said that I could either take it with a discount or they could order me a new one and have it delivered the next week. I told him that I didn't purchase a dented fridge but I couldn't wait for a new one as I didn't have a second fridge in my house and I have a family. I told him to bring it in and I would discuss it with him when my husband got home. I asked him what the discount would be and he told me well since it's not the highest end model, Maytag will probably only give me $50. I said who cares how much I spent or what model it was, I didn't order a dented fridge.

I received a refrigerator recall notice from Maytag regarding a potential fire hazard which may occur regarding some component in the back of the unit. It was replaced; however, the refrigerator side no longer was getting cold and needed a repair of $301.00 to replace the control panel and thermostat.

Our Maytag Elite refrigerator (model 106.52209100) manufactured by Whirlpool very nearly to what I can see caught fire this morning. The relay is melted and fried and has apparently burned out the compressor (relay part # 4SP1101). There is a recall on Whirlpool/Maytag/Kenmore refrigerators which was caused by the failure of the relay (appears to be a different part number but with the same issues of catching fire).

Maytag Refrigerator Recall Notice: Maytag is being disingenuous regarding its commitment to repair and rectify this fire hazard. My refrigerator (which is on the recall fire hazard list) is recessed in cabinetry. When a repairman arrived, he refused to pull it out unless I signed a waiver absolving him of any damage caused by him to get to the rear of the refrigerator. When I refused to sign the document, he left without making the repair. In a telephone conversation, he later stated that it was a two-man job and Maytag would only pay for one man. When this information was brought to the attention of Diana, a supervisor in the "escalation department" of Maytag, she insisted that the form be signed, or as an alternative, that I accept the sum of $75 in full satisfaction of Maytag’s recall/repair obligation. It also made no difference to Maytag that I and my husband are senior citizens and are unable to personally remove the refrigerator so it can be repaired. This does not seem to be a good faith attempt by Maytag to fulfill its recall obligation.

A month ago, my Maytag refrigerator started smelling like it was burning, making noises, and finally stopped working. I lost everything in the fridge and the freezer, which was such a waste, since I am receiving food stamps. I bought this piece of junk in Portsmouth NH on Christmas Eve in 2003. I was desperate, because it was Christmas, and needed the appliance immediately. I got nowhere with State Street Discount or Maytag, so I called 3 different times to report this issue to the US Consumer Product Safety at the above phone number. I was told this fridge was not in the recall. My numbers match on the recall notice (model number "MT"B22156GE*).

My refrigerator went out back in February, around the 20th. The compressor went out. I talked to Maytag and since the refrigerator is only 2.7 years old, they would give me 50% off the parts, so I said okay. I hired the repair company locally and they charged me $306.00 to install the parts and install the new freon. The refrigerator still did not work. The technician I hired then called Maytag himself and told that the compressor did not take and additional parts are going to be needed to take care of the problems. Maytag agreed to send us the parts free of charge.

After the replacement of a part due to a Maytag refrigerator recall, my refrigerator stopped working completely. A&E was sent to my home to replace the part. After reading other complaints, I am certain something isn't right with A&E. I lost over $200 of food.

We purchased a Maytag Plus refrigerator because of the fine Maytag reputation and to match the other appliances in the kitchen. I guess, compared to the long list of upset customers, we are somewhat lucky. We have not experienced any technical difficulties until the door that holds the ice maker started peeling and looking rusted. We called Sears, and Sears told us to contact Maytag, and Maytag said nothing. It was our problem and we had to fix it. A year later, we have a large rusted area close to the handle. It looks so pretty! This week, we received in the mail a letter from Maytag advising of a recall due to potential fire hazard. My husband called the number on the letter and they sent a tech today to replace the faulty part. He also gave us a $468 repair estimate to change the door. My Maytag washer (of 2 years) stopped working in October and it was cheaper to buy a new washer ... Go Maytag! And, I really mean, go, and take your crappy products with you.

Our Maytag refrigerator went out on February 5, 2009 during the night. I called 3 different Whirlpool service companies on the 6th. They told me it would be a week before any of them could come out to repair the unit. Being a diabetic with insulin to store plus all the food was now at room temperature, I called a local service provider who could come out that evening. He replaced the part that is on the recall for starting fires, a relay.

I bought a Maytag fridge in 2000 and have had to fix it no less than five times since I got it. It stops cooling and my food spoils. I've paid more to fix it than it was worth - $1,100.00. I was told by a Sears repairman that the fridge is a lemon and it freezes up. The model I have has to be fixed repeatedly. It was the top of the line when I bought it - model #MSD2456DE Maytag Plus. The water on the front door won't stop pouring either. It is crazy! It makes me crazy! I have asked Sears over the years, different managers, to reimburse me or give me the Maytag dealership number to call. I was told recently when I called again that I could buy a new one and they could discount it down to $1,300.00. Well, just great since I only paid $1,100.00. So why would I buy another product from them if they won't make good on this one?

I purchased a Maytag refrigerator model #MFI2568AEW in August of 2007 and it just started experiencing problems; specifically the control panel lights flashing and the flapper valve for the ice dispenser is cycling open and closed causing a popping noise. I called Maytag customer assistance this morning. They did not know what would cause this problem and suggested I get a Maytag certified technical service representative to look at the refrigerator (at my cost). I then did some research on the internet and found numerous other owners of this refrigerator that had the same problem (in 2007 and 2008).

I too purchased a Maytag refrigerator because of their reliability. I, too, was burned! My refrigerator has had so many repairs. It has cost me 6 times what I paid for it. The compressor constantly keeps going out. Every time, I have had to throw out all the food in the fridge/freezer costing me hundreds of dollars. Maytag does not care and has no customer service. They don't even have Maytag repairmen. They just contract with whomever is in the area. Even if the part were covered (which they always found some excuse why it wasn't), I was still responsible for the labor. Do not buy Maytag. It is the worst as far as reliability. If you get one year out of your appliance, good luck to you.

If you have a Maytag appliance and it stopped working, don't bother getting it fixed. Throw it out the door. If you don't have one, then you are one of the lucky ones. I have a Maytag Plus refrigerator, model# MSD2556AE. Last month, the refrigerator stopped working. I contacted Sears and made appointment for a technician to come out and fix the fridge. A technician came out, investigated, found what he said the problem and got the fridge running. After paying a fee of a $186, the tech went about his business. Couple hours after the technician left, the fridge stopped working again. Hah, I was furious. Like most people nowadays, barely have money to buy groceries, now I am an extra ~ $200 deeper in a hole.

I purchased this refrigerator from Maytag on September 5, 2005. This is now April 8, 2009. I have just had to spend $378.25 to replace the third ice maker in this refrigerator. The initial one went out approximately one month after its warranty expired so I had to pay for another new one at that time, and now this second one I paid for has failed completely. I seriously feel that Maytag is misrepresenting itself as a reliable appliance manufacturer. I bought the Maytag because of their former reputation. I also have a Maytag washer and dryer, but I certainly will never purchase another Maytag appliance. My last refrigerator/freezer lasted almost 25 years - it was not a Maytag. I am deeply dissatisfied with Maytag's customer care and I feel that some adjustment should be made for the exorbitant costs on the repair of such an expensive appliance - it is a French door, bottom freezer model - one of the most expensive models available at the time of purchase.

I came home from work to find water on the floor and a burning smell in the air. I opened my freezer part of the refrigerator and found it was not working. I cleaned it out and called the next day for a repairman to look at it. He could, on Sat. and fixed it. It was the relay switch that was bad. I paid him and then went to Walmart to replace everything in my refrigerator and freezer which was not cheap. Later, I found out from a relative that he had one of the recalls and Maytag fixed it.

Maytag has a massive recall on their refrigerators and mine has done exactly what the recall is about. It has almost started a fire two different times after being repaired. The front ice/water dispenser has completely melted twice and caused minimum smoke damage in my kitchen. It melted the front panel beyond use. When it faulted on three different occasions, ice and/or water would start dispensing and then smoke would roll out of the panel. If I hadn't been there the last time, it probably would have burned my house down. I plan to take legal action since Maytag won't claim responsibility. My model# is MSD2356AEW. They say it is not on the recall list, but if it is not, it definitely should be. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

I, too, had my Maytag fridge repaired with a "replacement" relay a week ago and, lo and behold, my fridge stopped working yesterday. Now I am SOL about the food and such and I am just hoping that the part was faulty. What a crock of **.

Bought a Maytag side by side refrigerator in 2000. Model #msd2454fr. Nothing but problem. Water leak in freezer bottom. Then stop making ice. Replace parts, still not working. Now Jan. 1, 2009, not cooling. Ref. or freezer. So I guess with all the complaints, I'm not investing any more money in a Maytag. Thankfully, we have an old ref in basement that's over 20 years old with no problems.

On Aug. 29, 2002, my $1,700 Maytag Wide-by-Side Refrigerator was delivered from Lowe's. A few months after the 1 yr. warranty expired, I had to have the hinges replaced on both doors as they weren't closing tight (cost approx. $200). Two years later, I had to have the hinges replaced AGAIN. Last month the cap on the door ice dispenser broke (have to manually close it). This past Mon., 12-29-08, I called the repairman to come fix it--we made an appointment for tomorrow (1-2-09). Today, New Year's Day, I woke to find the fridge luke warm and the freezer barely cold!! Since it's New Year's Day, I know I can't get the repairman out today (fortunately, I have the appointment I made on Monday for tomorrow). In the meantime, all the food I purchased yesterday for the long holiday weekend is rotting.

I purchased a Maytag stove and refrigerator in 2003 and in the summer of 2007, I had to have the motor replaced in the refrigerator. Now, I need to have the oven fixed on the stove. I have an F1 code and a lot of beeping. I cannot believe I have to spend all this money for repairs when the appliances are not that old. When I bought them, I was replacing 25 year old appliances.

I bought a new Maytag Plus bottom freezer refrigerator (MBB2254GEW) from Home Depot in June 2004 after diligently researching the best product. I bought the Consumer Best Buy recommended by Consumer Reports. I had multiple instances of frozen produce, but kept turning the temperature down in the produce drawer. Just before Thanksgiving 2007 I noticed a sheet of ice covering the bottom of the freezer. I called a repairman and spent $300 to have the evaporator fan replaced.

My 6 year old refrigerator (Maytag Plus model mtf2156gew) caught fire. The description -- acrid black smoke billowing from the bottom of the fridge -- frighteningly matches many other descriptions on this site. 5 minutes later, the fridge was spewing the smoke. Whirlpool sent a repairman (on their dime) the next day. He said he'd never seen anything like it. The little box that the wires plug into had melted to ash. There was no property damage, aside from a non-working refrigerator, a stinky smell, and several hundred dollars in lost food, thanks to my husband's quick response.

We purchased 3 new Maytag appliances from Home Depot in March 2007. Within months the bottom-freezer refrigerator began freezing food in the crisper and other areas of the frig. After several weeks of throwing out frozen food, I noticed a banging sound that continued until ending with a loud pop which continually went on day and night, loud enough to wake us up. I called the company and they said they would contact our local Maytag repairman and he would be in touch within 24 hours. It took several more calls and a wait of several more weeks before a repair technician came out, and made a small change in the frig, and for a while things seemed to be alright. Soon though the food began freezing again, and the noise started up. So did my phone calls, and promises to send out a repairman. By this time about 8 months elapsed since the purchase and I was anxious to have this resolved before the year was up.

Handle from bottom freezer keeps falling off. Bought in January 2007. ABT came in and replaced the bolts and handle in April 2007 and now it is out of warranty and handle won't stay on. Cost of handle is $27.00 and bolts are extra and I would have to replace it. Maytag refrigerator over $2000.00 shouldn't be doing this.

First I would like to say that we have had Maytag dishwasher for years and love it.. Now the refrigerator. We bought a Maytag Plus about 5 or 6 years ago. It has the worst ice maker we have ever had. The ice jams when we try to get ice out and builds up inside, then we have to open the freezer door to get it loose. When we do this of course the ice spills all over the floor. Sometimes it just has a big clump of ice that stops ice from coming out. We will probably never buy a Maytag refrigerator again because of this.

I purchased a French door bottom freezer Sept. 2006. March 5, 2008 a voltage board had to be replaced at cost--$203.29. Today October 3, 2008 ice maker had to be replaced--Cost--$377.68. I am 80 years old and have always had a refrigerator and have never had to have one repaired. It seems to me there is something wrong with a Maytag refrigerator and people should know about it.

Bought this new as Hme Depot. Lucky I bought the extended service. First the ice maker went out. Now the whole unit isnt working. Compressor seems to be shot. Less than two years old, and it seems there are alot of complaints on the net about Maytag. Anyway, all my food an frozen items are ruined. I noticed when cleaning the back of the unit, the compressor is made in Brazil. Maytag obviously outsources most of the unit. What a piece of junk.

On or abt. Nov. 1, 2006, I purchased a side-by-side Maytag refrigerator from Home Depot. Less than 11 months later, I discovered that it had stopped cooling and everything in it, including meats & frozen vegetables in the freezing compartment had thawed, were smelling bad, and had to be thrown away.

Purchased Maytag MFD 2560 French door refrigerator in Sept 2004. This past weekend Sept 2008 the unit stopped working. Called maytag for service and was told they would be there on Tuesday morning. Called service company tuesday morning and was told they could not be here until Wednesday morning. Called Maytag back they were able to get another authorized repair company to come out tuesday afternoon. I met the repairmen at the house in checked the unit and said the board was bad. I asked him why that would cause the compressor not to run and he stated that the boardssometimes do not allow the proper voltage to the compressor causing the compressor not to run.

I bought a Maytag refrigerator from Home Depot in March 2007. And I started using the refrigerator after my marriage which was late in May. After 3 months later I noticed that the food and water in the cooler were not as cold as before. And I noticed that there was ice building up in back of the freezer part. I thought either my wife or I didn't close the door well. So I melted ice by turning off the machine. It took me serveral hours to remove the ice in the freezer. Right after that it seemed to be working again. But another 3 months later it happened again.

The bottom of my freezer crack in early March and I called someone from A & E to looik at the crack. I have my extended waranty with A & E. The service man said it was a manufacturer defect and only wanted to repair the crack. I told him no because it would look like a repair job. The bottom of the Freezer should of not crack with it being only a year old.

In August of 2004 we purchased a Maytag French Door refrigerator (model MFD2560HEW) from our local Lowes. This August, 2008, we discovered the refrigerator was not cooling. Luckily we discovered it early and we had an Amana side by side in the basement, mosly used for beer and sodas. We lost a very minimal amount of food. But when we tried to get it fixed, (five year warranty), the real problems started. First I called Whirlpool. They said yes it is covered but we don't service your area.

In Feb 2006 I bought a MayTag 24 Cubic Side by Side Refrigerator with a Freezer in the lower drawer Model MFI2569VEA . Since I have had it I had to replace an electronic card 3 times. First 2 times the electronic display was not working. Now the freezer portion does not work.

I purchased a new Maytag Refrigerator side by side model MSD2542VEB00, delivered 7/12/08. By morning of 7/15/08 it had stopped working. I called for service and the A&E tech showed up late morning on 7/16/08. He reported the Compressor had seized up and required a replacement. I asked Joetta at Maytag service for a replacement REfrigerator but she said it was not their policy but she could expedite a compressor shipment in about 2 days. I complained through the Maytag site email and got the same reply from their responder Erin M.

In 2000 we bought a SS Maytag Model # MSD2957 AEB. Within 2 months the water line broke and flooded our kitchen. We weren't home at the time. Had to repace kitchen floor. Since then we have had 2 repairs made to the freezing unit and we still have to take the freezer apart and defrost it @ every 3 months as it stops keeping the freezer and refrigerator side cold. Basicily I only keep breas and cheese in this freezer. Maytag has refused to replace the machine which cost us @ $1800.00. They will get us a service tech at $60.00 a hour to come out and fix or replace any part.

Maytag Refrigerator Model # MTB1956GEW From the day the refrigerator was delivered it would make various loud popping and banging noises. I contacted Maytag about this and was told it was normal for this model because of the additional option for intalling an icemaker and the noises would not affect the functioning of the fridge.

3 year old side by side refrig just quit working. it is maytag 26 cu ft msd2651hes. What rights do I have? Also the maytag dishwasher does not wash dishes that are on the top shelf, it is also 3 years old. I have to put all glass on the bottom shelf if I want them clean. There is nothing blocking the water in the lines because we have checked it out.

I bought a counter depth side by side jenn air refrigerator in 2003. The second year I replaced the door in the ice maker myself $12.50.. The third year I replaced the defrost control $300. This year, while on vacation, it crapped out altogether. I wrote jenn air and got no response. I then wrote maytag and they called with an apology. I have since replaced all of my whirlpool,maytag and jenn air appliances with LG.

bought this side by side in 1999, after about a year, the compressor has been replaced 3 times, last time totally replaced everything ,shottiest workmanship you can even dream of, then had to replace the control panel, now the walls around freezer coil have gotten so hot that it melted the plastic lining of freezer, coil frozen solid, i paid over $1300.00 for the unit,so basically it has cost me $150.00 a year,

Ever since we bought our bottom freezer Maytag refrigerator PPPB1951HEW, it has been making really loud knocking noises as if someone threw rock on its side. Somtimes the knock is so loud that it wakes us up. I have contacted Maytag and they say that they never heard if this situation. Oddly, my sisted bought a bottom freezer refrigerator and she too has experienced the same noise.

We bought Maytag's Stainless Steel, French Door, Bottom Freezer from Home Depot in Chantilly, Virginia less than four years ago. I don't have the paper work in front of me at the moment, but it was a very expensive refrigerator....about $2,500.

On April 1 2005 I purchased the MFD2561HES French Door refrigerator. Less than one month from purchase, it had to be completely swapped out when the motor/evaporator quit.

This unit is not inexpensive to begin with, and one would hope would last 10+ years. I have lost hundreds of dollars on groceries that have been cooked in my fridge when it quits while I am at work, have lost time at work sitting at home awaiting a repair man, have had to purchase extended service agreements in order to keep pumping life into the fridge, and it's not even 4 years old.

Purchased a Maytag refridgerator when we moved to our new house 5 years ago. Probably 1/2 the time we have owned it the ice maker has not worked properly. We had two service calls, where the one time we had the ice maker replaced. We have hesitated making a third call as we don't think that this problem will ever be rectified. About 9 months ago the small door that lets the ice out, broke. Then the icemaker started filling with water. Water also collects on the bottom of the freezer and will run out onto the kitchen floor. About every two days we need to break/chop the ice out of the bottom of the freezer.

Just purchased a Maytag Refrigerator Model MFI2266AE (Stainless Steel, Bottom freezer, french doors with water and ice dispenser) known as the Ice2O. After it was installed (same day) and began to produce ice, the dispenser motor stopped turning the auger that moves the ice into the dispenser cavity. This happened about 8 hours after the BRAND NEW refrigerator was installed. The unit was purchased on 6/29/2008 and delivered on 7/1/2008 where it broke.

We bought a Maytag bottom french door bottom freezer, MGD2561HES, in 10/05. We had to have the evaporator fan replaced 4/06, 3/08 and now 8/09. Each time it's the same problem. What is wrong with this product? We are now on our 4th evap. fan. Is there any way to get Maytag to reimburse/ any class action suits/ any recourse?

I bought a Maytag French Door bottom freezer refrigerator (Model MFI2568AEW) along with SIX other appliances for a newly constructed weekend home. The appliances were delivered on March 18, 2008. Four months later on July 13, 2008 I found water coming out from underneath the refrigerator. It has now been 14 days that I have been without a refrigerator and Setzers has been ZERO help.

Model # MFI 2568AEB French Door Loer Freezer. Since purchase we have replaced 2 ice makers, 1 control panel, a thermister, and just now the compressor needs replaced. We lost all the food in our freezer and refrigerator. We have 20 guests coming in 2 days and 7 house guests and no refrigerator or freezer. Maytag should be prohibited from selling this product and compensate we who purchased it. This refrigerator cost $2500 and is listed in consumer reports as desirable. Who tested this product? What can we do? My 15 year old Frigidaire that I gave to our daughter is still running and this Maytag product is junk. Maytag repairman commercial is a joke and so is this product. Please contact us with our options of actions we can take.

Then we were out of town for weekend when this hose did the same thing: this time it destroyed ceiling tiles, carpet, pool table top in basement and wood floor and carpet throughout upstair all way to bedroom: insurance will cover some repair: I called on frig issue and mentioned I was told a copper tube is used now so asked if this could be put on frig: she said yes, we pay for and for installation: this frig at the cost has been nothing but trouble: I cant use its ability because of failures: am not happy...will not buy another maytag again!

We bought a Maytag MTF2142EEQ on June 16 and it was delivered July 1. The first week it was a little colder than we normally like it in the fridge compartment. By the second week, it was freezing everything. A repairman came out on 7/15 and said it was the thermostat. He came back on the 17th and replaced it. The morning of the 18th, we noticed it was warm in the fridge. Another repairman came out on the 21st and reconnected the damper. Still no good, so another repairman came on the 22nd and recalibrated the thermostat. Still warm. On the 23rd they ordered a new thermostat and it was replaced on the 25th. It's still warm.

Maytag Refrig MBB 2254G. Less than 5 years old. Compressor broke. Replacement cost: 800 to 1000 dollars

Purchased french door with freezer on bottom in 2005. Since then I have replaced 2 ice makers, 1 compressor, 1 thermister, and the main control panel. I purchased Maytag because of supposed standard of quality and trying to support an American company .

My bottom mount refrigerator has had the compressor and the electronic defrost board replaced and has cost me almost as much as the refrigerator. Maytag customer service rep was very rude on the phone when I asked for help. Don't buy Maytag.

I purchased a bottom freezer Maytag in December '08. The compressor makes a ticking noise whenever it turns on. The appliance vendor said that is due to the new type of refrigerant being used. This is a loud noise and I don't think it is normal. He then told me I should consider buying an extended warranty!

I purchase my maytag refrigeration February 2007. In October 2007 it wwas not cooling. I call the store and a repairman came out and put in a therostat cooling fan. which cost me $200 dollars.

In 2005 we purchased a washer, dryer, refrigerator & dishwasher from Lowe's in Sanford. We have had a problem with each of the appliances. There was a problem with the washing machine and we were sent a plug attachment to prevent a fire. The ice maker in the refrigerator when and had to be replaced and to this day it still does not work like it should. It does not shut off when the bin is full and the ice overflows into the freezer. The dishwasher latch on the door would stick and the light would not go off and they replaced the latch. Right now the dishwasher is making awful sounds and I have a feeling the motor is going from the sounds it is making. I am very disappointed in the Maytag products and have told everyone I could and will continue to tell people not to buy Maytag appliances. I believed their ads that the Maytag man was the lonliest person in the world, silly me.

Maytag side by side bought 1999 problems with leeking in freezer at the bottom. We have major ice daily on the bottom. Leeking water out of the side???? Model MSD2354FRW Foood spoiling, maytag people just say unplug it defrosr for 24 hours see what happens. I refuse to pay for service I was told that would be 75.00 plus extra for the parts and labor. Close to 500.00.

my last maytag fridge caught on fire.it was only 8 years old maytag sent out a service man to confirm this and told me the compressor was dead and not worth repairing.I then purchased another maytag fridge 2 month ago and this one does not work properly either it keeps my food at room temperature and ice cream all melted.the tech ordered 2 parts but one of them has been back ordered now for over a month.the compressor has never shut off since it was first pluged in 2 month ago.and i can now hear the fan inside grinding on ice between the inside walls of the fridge. it is a maytag mfi2266aew priced at over $2,000.00

About 6 years ago we bought a Maytag Plus refrigerator because we thought Maytags had a good reputation for quality and dependability. We found neither of those to be true though! It seemed to work well for a couple of years, but that's hardly reasonable service from such a promoted quality product. After the first couple of years we had to replace the compressor. We just figured it was a fluke until our recent breakdowns.

Bought a Maytag MBF2556KEB along with another Maytag Fridge and had them delivered on 5/24. The other fridge worked fine, but the 2556 did not get cold at all. Tried to call Maytag, but they were closed. Could not reach them until the following Tuesday due to Labor Day weekend. Maytag has a 48 hour return policy and since I could not contact them(not my fault) they had to repair it.

My elderly parents purchased a Maytag Frenchdoor Bottom Freezer Model T MFI2568AEW 05/06. Ken's appliance had to replace the icemaker within a week. Stating that had been a real problem but all ok now. Four more ice maker repairs later, plus new circuit board, plus compressor, and now it runs water all over the floor. Oh, yes they have sent repairmen asap each time the 90 mile one way trip to my parents home with the apologies and stating we are so sorry. My parents did purchase the extended warrenty but it will run out 2011 then what.

I have a top mount Maytag Dual Cool fridge that I purchased in 2003. It has never been the most quiet appliance, but that's just a side beef. My real problem is that last year the evaporator fan went and everything in the freezer thawed out. Thankfully it still had enough juice to keep the fridge cold so the milk wouldn't go bad. $300 later and the issue was solved. Then last month it happened again. Thankfully three days before the year had past so the part is under warranty. This time it will only cost $180 to fix, but the service company that Maytag recommended has changed it's policy to a 90 day part warranty.

I bought a Maytag frig at 2005/9 and also the extend warranty. In 2008/5, my frig got problem and I called Maytag for services. I couldn't believe that they asked my for receipt but they could locate my name, address, both phone numbers, serial number, and model. They could even found my previous services date and issue. I had service called during the first year. Now, they said they couldn't and refused schedule service for me since they need to update the price of my frig.

we purchased a maytag bottom drawer refrig 7 yrs ago. within 2 yrs the compressor took a dive, now it took a dive once again.

I purchased my MFD 2561 HEW refrigerator on 2-8-06 from a local appliance store that specialized in top quality merchandise. I paid $2000.00 for what I thought was top of the line. Not a year later my ice machine was not working properly and ultimately stopped producing ice.

We bought this Maytag Dual Cool new from the local Maytag dealer for over a grand on Aug 1, 2005. (We have no problems with the dealer.) But over the course of the first year, they had to come out to repair the refrigerator 5 times. They replaced the frig for free because it was in warranty. (We can provide the specific repairs with some searching through our files.)

I purchased a Maytag refrigerator side by side doors, that is basically four years old. About two months ago, I heard a strange noise coming from the refrigerator and I asked my husband to look at it. He cleaned in the necessary places and it ran for about two more weeks. Now we have been without a refrigerator for about two months. So we are in desperate need of a refrigerator. Why, don't I just buy another one? Well, in order to get another refrigerator where we live would be by air or boat, which the cost is outrageous.

For the second time in 7 months, my less than 3 year old Maytag French door refridgerator/freezer isn't working. The first time it was a fan motor which caused the refridgerator compartment to fail, I lost the contents of the fridge then. This time, the appliance tech told me it's the compressor which, if covered under warranty, won't be available to me for a week to 10 days. This time, I lost the contents of the freezer, ie, meats, ice cream, breads, butter, etc.

In May of 2006, we purchased a Maytag French Door Refrigerator from Home Depot. Two months later, the freezer evaporator fan motor needed replacing, as well as the freezer door guide tracks. Now, some 23 months later, it quit cooling...on a Saturday. Due to our son being diabetic, and the need to store insulin in the fridge, we were desperate to find a repair person. Some one was able to come Monday, and confirmed that the compressor needed replacing. After receiving two out of the three parts, I was informed on Tuesday that the third part was on back order until May 16th!!! I will NEVER purchase any type of Maytag/Whirlpool appliance EVER!! I am now trying to feed a family of 5 out of a dorm fridge, and trying to keep all our son's insulin cool.

I bought 2 model:MFD2560heq SN# 10132232ET 10132327ET BOTH WERE PURCHASED AT Home Depot in 2004. Both are french door models with the piece between the doors rusting terribly as are the baskets in the freezer. One of them has had the compressor replaced already and also has had the piece between the doors replaced once due to rusting

Made the mistake of buying a Maytag MSD2756GEQ side by side refrigerator. About 1 month from the expiration of the warranty the thing stopped cooling. Still waiting for the final repair bill which will be steep based on the time and troubleshooting involved. Apparently the problem isn't with the major components that are covered by the 5 year warranty. Bottom line is I paid $1300 for something I will have to fix 4 years 11 months after the date of purchase. Never again will I buy a Maytag product, and will spread the word to discourage anyone from doing likewise.

Maytag is a joke, another compressor out, will not deal with them again.

Today my three year old Maytag refrigerator broke. The refrigerator has the Samsung name on the front but is actually made by Maytag. I found this out while looking for replacement parts online.

Bought a Maytag French door refrigerator 1 1/2 yrs ago, at the tune of $2200. When you pay that much for a refrigerator, you assume it will not have problems for at least 10 years.

We bought a new Maytag refrigerator in late 2005. We didn't buy any extended warranty as I consider them to generally be a rip-off, and with the Maytag/Amana name, it shouldn't have been necessary. However this last week, less than 3 years after purchase, the compressor took a dump. The tech who checked it out thoroughly, and came to the conclusion that it was shot.

I bought a side by side Maytag refrigerator in 1999 from a Maytag local store after watching the Maytag ad on TV. Luckily, I bought the warranty because the first year, they had to service it for a broken handle door and then a water falls from a frozen water tubing. I guess this is just a start because they've visited us 2-5 times more for other problems. Last year, the freezer quit and the repairman told us that to unplug it and pour warm water inside the freezer to defrost--then it should work fine. It did work for few weeks; then it quit again. This time, they changed a part.

We purchased a 25 cu ft French Door refrigerator in June 2005 from Metro Builders in Oklahoma City, OK. If we fill the top refrigerator more than 3/4 full, food starts to freeze, then the water line to the internal filtered water dispenser freezes, then the compressor fails. We just had our second compressor failure in 3 years. So far, warranty has covered parts, but not labor. Luckily we have a second refrigerator in the garage (not a Maytag...thank goodness) so we haven't lost food. But still, what a piece of junk. Two compressors in 3 years and having to constantly make sure that the refrigerator isn't filled more than 3/4 with food.

I bought Maytag French Drawer Ice2O fridge in April 2006. Have had the ice maker replaced four times and the control box once. The icemaker still will make one tray of ice and no more untll I physically shake it. No more than one tray of ice is in the hopper at any one time--about 12 cubes, enough for two glasses of tea. I have been buying bags of ice for months. I have had four different repair businesses work on it and was told this refrigerator is a real problem. Paying over $1500 for an appliance that has basic structural and mechanical problems is the pits. This model should be recalled immediately. My warranty expires in weeks, and the problems will continue I am sure.

We purchased a Maytag Admiral, side-by-side, stainless steel, ice and water in door refrigerator Aug 5, 2005.

We bought a Maytag French Door fridge, MFD2561HES. Shortly after the warranty was up, the HV Control Board decided to quit. We lose all our food. We called Maytag, and it took them another 3 weeks to fix it at a cost of $400+. Six months later now, the freezer works, but the fridge died. Again, I lost a ton of food. For a fridge that costs as much as this one does, there certainly shouldn't be this many problems. Maytag touts its dependability all the time on commercials; but beware, they are FAR from it. And from what I read on the internet, it seems I am not the only one.

We purchased a top of the line Maytag Side by Side refrigerator. Inside of a year, it failed. An electrical control failed. We lost the food and it deposited a pool of water on our new hardwood floors, ruining them. That's not so bad. Companies can have quality problems. What made it worse was Maytag customer service basically told us out of luck. Electrical controls are not under warranty. I wrote Maytag. They never responded! I filed a small claims suit. A month later AT the trial, the judge opened a letter received from Maytag the day before the trial. They claimed that they did not do business in California. AMAZING. I paid hundreds of dollars to find their agent of record in the state to serve them and they pulled a last minute shell game. I then paid other fees to have them served at their corporate headquarters. Meanwhile, the refrigerator (after having been repaired) failed again depositing another pool of water on our already ruined floors. I would never buy another Maytag appliance. I would only operate a Maytag appliance with a tray underneath it (to catch water!) and with an electrical surge protector. Their company sells poor quality products marketed as being reliable.

I am the Manager of 168 apartments where refrigerators have been replaced in dozens of units with the Maytag refrigerator. After just one year, almost every one of them have gone out and needed serious repair. We stopped buying all Maytag products since we've had bad luck with everything that has the Maytag name on it.

I had a horrendous customer service experience. We have a five-year contract on our refrigerator. We have had Benson's in Peoria to our home to work on the ice machine (many times). I never had any trouble getting this accomplished. However, today (07 JAN 08), I ran into the most obstreperous people ever in customer service. The first time I called, a man said he couldn't help me unless I could provide him with the account number of Benson's in Peoria. I have NEVER before had to give them that information! I did secure it, but they said no one had ever before asked for that information! I called back and had the misfortune to get a person named, Chris, i.d. number 7343. He was totally rude, loud, nasty, impolite.

I bought an Ice20 Refrigerator in March 2006. Within 3 months of purchase, the icemaker went out. After warranty went out, the HV board went out 3 months later. I have problems finding someone to even work on Maytag. Now after getting this fixed and actually paid for by Maytag finally, the icemaker does not work again.

I purchased a Maytag Neptune washer and dryer in Jan. 06 to the tune of over $2000, and they are garbage. The washer smells of mold and has ruined my clothing, towels, washcloths, etc. Maytag insists cleaning it once or twice a month with bleach and dishwashing detergent is the cure all. It doesn't work nor does their new product Afresh.Our dryer needed a new drum after the first few months; although Maytag replaced it at no cost, it took them several months of backorder to get the new part to our repairman--finally repairing it in Nov. 06.

Apparently, my only recourse would be to replace the unit at my own expense with another brand.

My Maytag refrigerator/freezer will not defrost. the model number is not shown on their website; they list have no MSDS as required by federal law and no refrigerant type listed on the appliance as required by law. There is no help from a live operator, for a year. I am a refrigeration tech, and I consider this item and company to be the worst by all standards.
