Maytag Refrigerators Reviews

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.

We purchased a side-by-side Maytag refrigerator (Model MSD2732GRQ) in July, 2004, to replace our 27 year old Amana after it failed. We have replaced the compressor under warranty. It was 15 months old at the time. And once the 'sealed refrigeration system' is opened - even by a certified Maytag repair serviceman - ALL other parts within the 'sealed system' are no longer under warranty of any kind. It took SIX weeks for a new compressor to arrive during which time we, and our H.S. age kids, lived out of coolers - not to mention all the food we lost initially. Of course we were told the new compressor was arriving 'within a few days' every time we called.

Like most people on this site, we have had nothing but trouble from a very expensive $2300 French door stainless steel refrigerator purchased on 9-18-06. The very first day, the ice maker would not work and we had to wait for two weeks for repair. Since that time, we regularly have to pull out the ice maker as it jams with ice that falls behind the ice tray.

Sadly, we purchased a Maytag refrigerator in December 2006. We are currently listening to the drumbeat of the FOURTH damper that has been installed in this unit. Maytag admits that a poorly engineered damper is the cause. They refuse to trade or issue a credit, claiming that a noisy (really noisy!) damper is not a defect. The Maytag Customer Service department was absolutely useless! They have stated, in essence, that as long as the refrigerator is cooling properly, they have no liability regarding noise issues.

Our Maytag refrigerator, Model MSD2456GEW, has just had to have its compressor replaced at a cost of $600. It is only five years old. I thought if I spent $2200.00 on a Maytag it would last a long time. This is very disappointing. I also now have to replace a large portion of my hardwood floor as it was ruined by water leaking out of the fridge. When I search for contact information for Maytag/Whirlpool, there is none to be found. They have a phone number but it just leads from one automated menu to another. Is anything being done to stop this company from selling appliances that will be sent to the dump after a very short lifespan?

I have a 1 1/2 year old Maytag French door, bottom freezer refrigerator. The control panel started flashing, and the ice dispenser door cycles constantly. The repairman says it is a common problem that can be fixed by replacing a circuit board that costs $500! Does anyone know if there is a recall or a hidden warranty for this problem?

four weeks ago we took the bottom glass shelf out to reset the shelves. Since it was out,wiped it off. While replacing this shelve back into the refrig,it proceeded to explode shattering glass as far as across the room and into the top of my foot (approx 4 ft)the glass scratched my husband's glasses and cut him in numerous places.hands,chest... Made 3 or four phone calls to Maytag. They are sorry but new shelf.shipping will be about 55.00 on this 4 yr old refrig.(out of warranty ) Never a call from Maytag. I'd prefer a refrig from China next time/nothing could be this unsafe.

I bought my Maytag refrigerator at the end of Feb. 2006. As of tomorrow, it will be my 7th service call. I already had 3 parts replaced and 2 more are going in tomorrow. I had trouble with the ice flap, flapping all night; and I had water leaking out after I was done getting the water needed. Now it's leaking more water than before. One repair man told me "Oh, yeah, they're having a lot of trouble with that." When the flapper started flapping, I had to wait 2 weeks before I could get it fixed. In the meantime, I had to keep making or buying ice to keep my husband's Insulin cold!!All the food had to be thrown out and 2 parts replaced. They told me I was getting PRIORITY service, because of the Insulin! That's what they call Priority? Maytag doesn't care; they got their $$$ out of all us fools. I did get the extended warranty, but who's going to pay me for 7 days of waiting 8-to-5 for them to come, not to mention all the food that was lost? I just want my $2800 back so I can go buy something I don't have to have repaired 7 times. I already emailed the BBB about them. So far I haven't heard back. Oh, by the way, when the repairman was here one time, I asked what part is going to go next? The guy told me to write all the parts on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. At least there is one honest repairman!

My stainless steel, French Door fridge is doing some weird things. The ice maker flap is opening and closing for no reason and the lights on the control panel in front are blinking. We cannot call a repair person as this is a holiday. From the previous comments on this website, it appears to be a motherboard issue.

HEY MAYTAG MAN.... WHERE ARE YOU? I am not sure why we are all allowing Maytag to get away with the terrible customer service and a VERY poor product.

We purchased a Maytag french door refrigerator less than 3 years ago for $1600 at a local Home Depot. Since then, we've had it repaired 3 times spending an extra $500 in parts and labor. Luckily when we needed to replace the compressor it was still under warranty because that's a $500 part just itself. We've called Maytag's customer service every time to let them know what has happened and except for a $70 credit for the first repair we received no other compensation.

My husband and I bought our French door Maytag refrig from Home depot in June 2006. The day after it was delivered and installed, we still didn't have any ice, called Maytag for service and the tech had to replace the icemaker. Now almost a year to the day it has started to flash and the flapper on the icemaker keeps opening and closing. The person on the phone advised me to stuff a rag in the hole where the flapper is opening to avoid loosing cold air; he also stated that the motherboard is fried and that the part is on back order for 3 weeks.

We purchased a Maytag Ice2O French Door Bottom Freezer in April of 06. By mistake we purchased two warranties, one with Home Depot, and one with Maytag. We thought they were the same, the second being a renewal. The day it was installed the icemaker wouldn't work and had to be replaced. On May l7th all the lights on the door panel began to blink and the flap that releases ice and water flapped back an forth. Very annoying. The refrigerator stopped working. We lost all items there.

We purchased 5 Maytag appliances, French Door bottom freezer, dishwasher, microwave, cook top and double ovens in May 2006 and to say the least it's been a nightmare. Almost a year to date 3 of the appliances are not working correctly and we are either waiting for a repair man or a part for the repair man. We would never purchase Maytag again.

We purchased the Maytag frenchdoor refrigerator in August 2006. We bought this expensive $2,000 frig because of my spinal cord injury and use of wheelchair.

I purchased a Maytag French Door Refrigerator 7/15/05. My first breakdown was 7/05/06, to replace motor evaporator. Second call was 10/26/06, to replace ice maker assembly. The cost to me was $288.65.

In August, 2001 I replaced all my appliances with Maytag. Side-by-side refrigerator, Gemini electric range, Neptune washer and dryer, vent-a-hood microwave and built-in dishwasher. I also purchased extended warranties on all products, which at first I thought was a waste of money, but now I'm relieved.

Our Maytag Wide Side french door w/ice water in door was purchased Dec.2002. About a year ago refrigerator stopped cooling but freezer was fine. We thought air from freezer was somehow blocking cooling air to fridge. There is not enough information about auto-defrost in the handbook. We defrosted with hairdryer & it finally got cool again after a few days. Now same problem happening again. I called Maytag people and talked to a really nice man who offered several things to try - most we'd already done. So again lost all food in fridge & freezer. Finally unplugged it for the afternoon & trying to see if it will resest itself. Maytag gave us a second toll free number to call Andy for a local referral to an appliance man.

We purchased a Maytag side by wide refrigerator four years ago. We actually have not had anyone out to service it...until now.

I purchased a Maytag French Door frig in Feb. 2006 from Home Depot for $2500. After 2 weeks, the ice maker jammed.Had numerous service people over the past year. May tag replaced the ice maker twice.Still the ice maker jammed. They told me to disconnect the RO, which I had done. Still no luck.Still the ice maker jammed. Another Maytag serviceman came & said the water valve was faulty & replace the valve. It worked for a few months and after the warranty has expired, the frig quit working. My food all thawed.

I paid $2200 for a MSD27 Maytag side-by-side refrigerator in Sept 2001 -- obviously not a cheap item. I've had nothing but problems that began only a few months after the purchase. The icemaker has required replacement every year, including the first year under warranty. I've had water overflow problems in the freezer that caused glaciers of ice. I've had to defrost my frost-free freezer several times each year. Just after the icemaker was replaced again in Feb 07, apparently the solenoid  went bad. When the repairman replaced it, he said it has obviously been leaking and has rusted the frame on the fridge. He said the warranty won't cover that because it's considered an act of God.

I purchased $5,689.00 in Maytag kitchen appliances. I have had to exchange 3 out of 4 products. I exchanged the oven glass top 3 times, then the oven 5 times. The microwave burned itself and was exchanged for one of lesser features twice, the dishwasher door was rusting after 30 days and was removed and exchanged and now the dishwasher will not function. I now have mix and match appliances. They have schedule various appointments and waiting all day for a technician is a nightmare. The expensive extended warranty is worthless. During one of my services home depot and maytag were at each other throats in ownership of responsibility to the customer.

We purchased a side-by-side Maytag Plus in November 2001. It has been great up until now. I noticed there was no ice in the icemaker and griped at my husband for leaving the lever up in the off position. When I got home in the evening, there was still no ice and I noticed that all of my frozen food was dripping. Everything was thawed out. Couldn't save anything. Same with the fridge part. I haven't bothered to call anyone yet but after reading all of the other posted messages, I'm not sure if I should especially since I didn't buy the extended warranty. I thought Maytag was a pretty good and reputable brand but not anymore. We paid about $1100 for it. Lots of food and money wasted.

I bought all top of the line Maytag appliances in April 2006 & here is the result: 1. Dryer - has been repaired twice 2. Washer - repaired once 3. Microwave - never worked & was replaced 4. Dishwasher - has been repaired twice. I am still waiting for parts - and has been over 1 month! 5. Side by Side Fridge, Freezer on the Bottom, Water on the Door (the newest latest greatest fridge?) . . . stopped making water, ice cube door opens & closes nonstop, fridge & freezer went warm. Got someone out here but am still waiting for parts so it can be fixed.

We built a new home in 2005. We purchased all new Maytag appliances because Maytag always had a reputable product. The French Door Refrigerator has had to be serviced three times. The last time took three weeks and is still not repaired because the service company cannot get the needed part from Maytag. I have an extended warranty that covers the service and the parts are still under the new appliance warranty.

Less than 2 year old Maytag refrigerator broke last Sunday and Maytag extended warrenty won't even send some one out to look at the problem till Thursday (If I was willing to pay for the repair myself, several repair places say they would have came out to fix it the same day I called). When I asked about slow service, the Maytage person said that, by contract, they didn't have to send anyone out till the problem existed for 14 days. When asked who cares about Maytag's reputation the answer they gave was: maybe someone on the Whirlpool Corp. board of directors might care. Suffice to say - I will not buy another refrigerator from them (the last one cost over $1500.00)!

We purchased a Maytag french door refrigerator in Dec. 2004. We have had Maytag repair people out at least 4 times since then. Thank goodness bought the warranty because our fridge finally went warm 5 days ago.

We have a Maytag Side by Side Refrigerator. The freezer door has been popping open so my husband took the drawer out and noticed that the defrost coils were lifting and has burned both sides of our freezer. We took the panel out and noticed that ice has formed behind the coils. What we noticed is that they only have two screws on the top of the coils holding it on the back of the freezer so when ice builds up it will lift again and burn the sides.

December 2006 our Maytag refrigerator, purchased August of 2005, made awful high pitched buzzing and ringing every 30-60 seconds for 15-30 seconds. By the next day the refrigerator and freezer were warming up and destroying the $200 of food I had just purchased the day before.

We purchased a Maytag Stainless Steel French Door refrigerator (over $1000.00) from Home Depot in April 2005, it wasn't installed until August 2005 when we finished our new kitchen. In October 2006 the unit failed to cool, we finally got a service call in 2.5 weeks and was told it was the compressor which would take a week to order and another week to schedule a repair.

I bought my Maytag side-by-side refrigerator in Feb 2005 and I loved it, for a while. In Nov 06, it completely quit working. I called Maytag, who basically did nothing. I called a local Maytag service company who couldn't come to my house for a week. When they did, they told me the compressor was bad and they would order it. Three weeks later, a guy shows up with a broken compressor (sent from Maytag).

After reading all of these complaints I guess we're in for a long problem. According to Maytag there are only 2 companies in Illinois who can fix my refrig. Well, the first place said they can't. That leaves one place. They won't come to our house. They are called A&E. They are horrible!!! They don't give a care about consumers AND will do whatever it takes to avoid going on appts. So... I am now on day 10 with no refrig. I had to go buy a $300 Home Depot refrig to get by. I can't live out of a cooler any more. This is horrible... horrible... horrible.

We have one of the waterfall version of the Maytag side by side. It is very pleasant sounding, late at night. Even from our BR we can hear the water gently running from the front door down to the floor, through to the basement where it pitter patters. Ha ha, unbelieable. We'd say its all been covered very well, ours is only (4) years old. We've had several floods. We've decided not to fix it any more. We'll run it untill it ruins the food one more time then replace it.

We purchased a Maytag refrigerator from Lowe's on August 18, 2006. Maytag Stainless - French Door with the freezer in the bottom. We had a service person out twice to this date of November 10, 2006. Last night when we opened the freezer for ice cream, it was more like a milk shake. I couldn't call for service since the Magtag service center was closed until this morning. When I finally did get a real person on the phone, they didn't have a service person available until tomorrow between 6am and 7 pm. The light is on in the refrigerator and freezer BUT the control panel on the outside of the refrigerator has no lights and does not function. My food is rotting and defrosting as I write this.

I purchased a Maytag refrigerator from Sears in June of 2006 and by October 2006, the compressor quit working. I was out a refrigerator for two weeks while waiting for the repairman and part. After the repairman spent 2 and a half hours putting in the new compressor, it appeared to be working again for one whole day before breaking down again. I phoned Connie (the manager) at Sears and told her I cannot afford to keep throwing away all of my food and taking time off of work to wait for a repairman and that I would like a replacement. Lo and behold, the response is dodgey and political and in a round-about way a NO. I now need to repeat this nightmare again of missed work, lost food and headache. I will absolutely NEVER purchase another item from Sears again!

I purchased a Maytag Refrigerator in 2000. We have had about 15 service calls on the I/M. My father-in-law purchased a Maytag Refrigerator about 6 months to a year after we did and is having the same problems. I have spoken with the service company and they say that Maytag has had many problems with the icemakers in the refrigerators from that year. I will never buy another Maytag Refrigerator.

We purchased a Maytag side-by-side stainless steel ice-in-door refrigerator freezer in 2001. It has been nothing but problems.

I just returned from my wife's work where we made an emergency freezer transfer of all her breast milk for my 6 month old daughter. Not all would fit so we may lose some. Like most others - purchased 1 year and 2 months ago. Having faith in a $2000 product I did not purchase the extended warranty.

Summer of 2003 we purchased a Maytag Elite refrigerator. In December of 2005 the evaporator motor, located in freezer, had to be replaced. The repairman warned me this would happen again.

Because we have a 20+ Maytag washer and dryer that have never needed a service call we purchased a Maytag side by side refrigerator about four years ago. It is a good thing we purchased the service contract from Sears as they make bi-monthly visits to our home. The design of the side by side is great - lots of usable room inside but something about the ventilation has caused us continual problems. I can not keep lettuce in this refrigerator - have to run it to the one in the basement. The lettuce freezes in the Maytag. Also many items at the top get too cold and freeze. I have it set on a low setting.

My elderly mother purchased a traditional, (freezer on top) Maytag refrigerator in April of 2003 from Sears. Within a few months, she was experiencing water dripping from the freezer door and collecting between the door and gasket. She called Sears in August 2003, they sent a technician. He couldn't find the problem so he told her it was normal. So my mother lived with it, continuing to wipe the door and resulting frozen water accumulating inside the freezer and around the door. In November of 2003 she called an authorized Maytag repairman to have him diagnose the same problem. He also told her it was normal. She gave up trying to get it fixed.

We bought a Maytag refrigerator in 2003 and also purchased an expensive extended warrantee with it and it's a good thing we did. In March of 2006 we discovered that the freezer fan that circulates cold air wasn't working and we had to throw out several hundred dollars worth of food. Maytag replaced the fan on our extended warrantee. Then on August 21 of 2006, the same thing happened. As the repairman fixed the problem, he said, and I quote, "It's a good thing you have the extended warrantee. Better keep that up." I asked him if this problem was typical of Maytag refrigerators and he just shrugged. Then on August 23, we discovered the SAME thing had happened because the ice cream in the freezer turned to soup once again. We can't believe that in 3 days, a brand new part went bad! Now I'm waiting for a repairman again.

I purchased a Maytag French door refrigerator in June of 2005 and since then the compressor has had to be replaced twice. Today is August 22, 2006 and I am experiencing the problem yet again.

We purchased the Side by Side and with water in the door. We woke up to floods two times, they fixed it and it went out again. We repaired it buying the new board and it didn't EVER give water only ice from that time on .... what a LEMON!

My two and half year old refirgerator does not work. Doesn't cool and runs constantly. When it was working it made big clunking noises when it shut off. I had to pay a diagnostic fee of 130.00 just to get someone to come out and look at it. By this time, it was not covered under any warentee but major parts. I can't believe this refrigerator failed so soon. When talking to customer service, they said - parts fail - there's nothing we can do about it and we only stand by those parts for a year. i paid extra for what i thought was maytag quality but obviously, I was wrong. Hopefully things will improve with WHirlpool but i work with both compnaies and don't have much faith in either now.

I bought a Maytag side-by-side refrigerator along with 3 other Maytag appliances when I renovated my kitchen in 1/19/05. My refrigerator broke a week ago and after waiting several days for someone to show up to diagnose the problem it turns out it is the compressor. It isn't even 2 years old! The cost for coming out to diagnose the problem was $191 and I lost well over a $100 in groceries. Now I am paying more on a brand new refridgerator?! Why aren't these companies obligated to give at least a 5-year warranty on parts and labor? We pay a lot of money for these appiances and need to count on them.

We purchased a Maytag Refrigerator in December 2005. After, six months the refrigerator just stopped working - with a food loss of at least $200.

We purchased a side by side Maytag refrigerator/freezer Model 2648 in May 2005 and in less than one year the compressor failed. They told us it would take three weeks to get a new compressor. That was fine just get it done.

Like the rest of the stories on this site, we purchased a nice, or so we thought, $1500 french door fridge. Not even one year into the life of this product, the compresser has gone out, there are no parts available for a week or better.

I purchased this new Maytag refrigerator through Sears in the summer of 2003 and have since had three compressors replaced. One of the last visits was a service tech who left an oil leak behind because he failed to properly solder the pipe. The last tech re-soldered the leaking tubing to make it right. Right! It still isn't freezing properly and is running above zero and allowing ice cream products to be very soft. I called Maytag yet again on May 31st, 2006 and it would be another $129.00 for a service call.

We purchased a Maytag fridge freezer from a local company in Chilliwack British colubia Canada on Febuary of this year 2006 and we had the service man out 4 times for a loud knocking sound evertime it started up. On april the 28th the replaced it again we have the same problem it sounds like and old car knocking we contacted Maytags service dept and they told is live with it and that they are doing nothing about it.

Let's see, where to start??? We brought this PILE OF JUNK (MayTag) refrigerator less then 6 months ago. After 3 service calls we still have NO working frig. We were told it's problems with the fan. We paid $2000 for this PILE OF JUNK and I would have been better off taking that 2K and flushing it down the drain.

Purchased Maytag plus side by side refrigerator in August 2001. It was pruchased t a local Sears Store. So far the freezer has built up huge amounts of ice and needed to be repaired. The door will not shut properly and needs frequent adjustments of the hinges. Now, my refrigerator is not cooling and while waiting on the part to fix this problem my freezer stopped cooling. I now have the repairmen coming out again to diagnose the problem. The quote to fix the refrigerator side was $285.00, I can just imagine what it will be now.

I purchased a Maytag Plus side by side fridge in 07/2001 and consider it to be a lemon. The first year the icemaker broke and was replaced since it was still under warranty. So far this year (2006) The repairman has been out 3 times in 5 weeks for the same problem. The fridge side stopped cooling while the freezer is fine. Also my water dispensor pad gets stuck down and causes water to run all over the floor.

I purchased a new Maytag refrigerator in November 2005. In February 2006 I noticed food spoiling in my fridge, and food getting warm in my freezer. After contacting Sears, they sent someone out to check my refrigerator. The first two visits they couldn't find anything wrong. By the fourth visit they had ordered and installed three parts (thermostat, defrost timer, and control assembly). By this time I had already lost about $300 worth of food. Since they supposedly fixed it, I have lost another $200 worth of food. I have talked to so many people trying to get this problem solved. They want to shuffle me from one person to the next, and nothing is really getting done. The last person to look at my refrigerator went back to Sears and said that they could not find a problem, the next day I get a call from someone at Sears telling me there was nothing wrong with my appliance, and there was nothing they could do. I have a 1 year manufacturers warranty on the product and also purchased (at their request) an additional 2 year Protection agreement, and they still do not want to make things right.

I bought a $1500-1600 Maytag Plus side by side with water and ice through the door 6 years ago from Circuit City.
