Bleach Container Immediately Rusted After Purchasing Washer; Maytag Refused To Honor Warranty.

Rating: 1/51

BENTON HARBER, MICHIGAN -- Complained after purchasing washer (2013) in 2014. Customer service said the issue was "cosmetic" and not covered under warranty. Have sent in complaints periodically since - with absolutely NO response from Maytag from online Customer Service Line. This morning 8.27.18 spent half an hour with CS on the phone who offered to send a technician to "look at why the issue is happening" for $89 service fee. Refused, of course. Why would you have a product that doesn't stand up to bleach that is supposed to be in it - and then not replace? I am calling Clark Howard and plastering the Internet with this information.

Maytag 9000 Series Washer and Dryer - GARBAGE

NEW YORK -- Save yourself a huge headache and a ton of money - stay away from Maytag's washers and dryers. I have had nothing but issues with my 9000 series units almost from the very start. When they were under the extended warranty it was more of a nuisance than anything but once we that expired and it didn't seem to make sense to renew on machines over 5 years old we dropped the contract and assumed that since all the issues had been already repaired what else could possibly go wrong?? Plenty.

We were able to replace the washer's pump on our own, driving 1 hour each way to pick up the part and spending over $100. Now the dryer's hinge snapped which makes it next to impossible to get the dryer to run, so we spent another $65 on the hinge, only to find out that the dryer still won't run and now we have an F01 code! We do some research and come to find that it's the control board. Sears can have it shipped to us! Great... for $250. Oh, wait, they'll drop the price to $200!

Well, unless they want to drop it another $200 I'm not wasting another dime. What a shame that I spent over $700 on each machine and another couple of hundred for extended warranty and now I'm out nearly another $200 for parts. (Thank goodness I didn't have to pay for labor!!) HUGE pieces of junk, never again will I buy a Maytag and at this point I'm a bit PO'd at Sears for selling me this junk, and even angrier at myself for getting rid of my plain old no bells no whistles Kenmore. P.S. - wish I could give this a "0" star rating instead of a "1" which is the lowest.

Only 8 Months Old-Piece of Junk - Lowe's and Maytag Don't Care!

POTSDAM, NEW YORK -- Bought Maytag water saver washing machine from Lowe's in Potsdam and the machine is only 8 months old and never worked well from the beginning (fabric softener won't dispense, problems from the beginning - noise like the house is being broken - clanks crashes, dry clothes, lid won't unlock, won't drain won't spin and so much more. Lowe's appliance manager said after 30 days you can't return it or anything else. Even though we spent $119 on a 5 year service contract they recommended - it doesn't matter!

This is not the first time Lowe's has been terrible - they sold my lawnmower when it was there for service on my warranty! Called Maytag - someone is supposed to call - they say a "trained technician". After reading all these reviews I doubt they will do anything to stand behind this piece of junk. There is so much wrong with it now that I've been told it's a lemon - but the tech has to say it is (will my prayers be answered?) We are old and bought this as our last machine.

We had a Maytag Centennial and it was great. Maytag said the best I might get is the what I paid for it plus tax. The money I paid for the warranty disappears and it can't be applied to another machine. I can't go through months of fighting with Maytag - I'm having major surgery in three weeks and my wife is disabled and requires total care - I don't even have a way to take care of her when I am in recovery for three months. I think I have to start writing to Maytag now because I don't think any good will come of this.

I am also going to write to Lowe's corporate office - don't be intimidated by how it sounds - they really are the only ones who may care - not the telephone robot monkeys. We had to do this when Sears in Potsdam kept sending the wrong refrigerator to us, overcharged us (I found out). These business' here may not like hearing this but, we are not rich nor is most of the area. I expect decent people when I shop in their stores who do not lie and abuse senior citizens. Never buy Maytag ever, ever again! Please! God doesn't want you to be hurt.

Washer Bearings Parts Not Available Until 2/2/2016 (Over 4 Years From Now!)

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI -- The bearing is broken in my front load washer model MHWE300VW00. Initial estimate is $900 to repair BUT the bearing part is not available until 2/2/2016 (in another 4 plus years!) per the Marcone Parts Company which is the official Maytag partner. So my machine is only 6 years old, cost over $900, and a main component is not available to repair. I spoke to customer service representative and supervisor. Even though the expected life is supposedly 14-16 years (ha!) and my machine only lasted 6 and there is no part available to repair, the best they can do is give me discount to buy another machine.

Pretty sure I don't want to spend any more dollars with Maytag, which it seems is a popular result. I would like to see their advertising "bored" repairman challenged and be forced to remove. It seems the repairman is bored because either the repairs are cost prohibitive or in my case, not even available. No one wants to continually repair their equipment at additional costs! Too bad customers are forced to purchase a new machine, but it does not seem they are looking to use Maytag again. Eventually the bad reputation will catch up and the "commercial" image will not be possible to fool the customers.

Horrible Overpriced With Crappy Service!

SAINT PETERSBURG, FLORIDA -- Bought the beautiful set for $1700.00 and all they offered was a 1 year warranty!!! Now I know why! They should be ashamed of themselves! I am single and live alone. Do light loads maybe two or three times a week. I will never own another Maytag product again! Had washer repaired multiple times within that first year and now three years later the bearings have gone out on the washer requiring a repair more expensive that the washer cost new! Why would they sell something so crappy? NEVER AGAIN! Any washer or dryer you charge over $800 for you should have more confidence in than to only warranty for a year!

SAINT CLOUD, FLORIDA -- Back in March 2017 I went to Best Buy and purchased a Maytag Washer and Dryer. 3 months later the washer start making a awful noise like the belt was crashing something and was not draining properly. I called Best Buy. They referred me to Whirlpool customer services. Whirlpool open a ticket for me with a third party company call Alliance (service my area). The worst company ever!!! Long story short! Alliance went to my house 3 times. Reset the washer and that's it. We told them like that noise wasn't normal and all they asked was what detergent I was using. Finally they admit we need a new part and they will order it.

Sure after the Whirlpool warranty expired they didn't want to honor the time we have been trying to fix the problem. That company Alliance have and employee name Paula really unprofessional by the way. We tried to make the appointments for the afternoon 3 times already and for some reason the tech shows every time in the mornings. When we called to complain about it they said is nothing they can do. I told Paula that we have been waiting for the washer to be fix for a year already and she said. They have clients waiting for Refrigerator parts for 7 months and that was normal. WHAATTT??? How is that acceptable???

CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA -- Maytag model mhwe450ww01 - Bought machine in 201.1 Six months into the operation, had to have Maytag replace the drum and again 4 or 5 months later. It's now 2014 and guess what, it's down again for the third drum and bearing replacement. Called Maytag and e-mailed and found that they could care less. Good news is I bought service contract with machine only to find out that a three week wait is good service from A&E service (Sears). Try a laundromat with clothes from 7 kids for three weeks could have bought another machine. Need to be recalled from Maytag.

MODESTO, CALIFORNIA -- Control panel went out on 8 month old Maytag Washer model MHWE950WW01. Parts are no longer available. Washer has been discontinued. (Maybe because it sucks. They replaced the entire drum/tub at 2 months) After 3 months of waiting on hold and for them to call back, Maytag finally agreed to send a free replacement washer under warranty. I wanted a matching dryer, so I had to pay for it. They will not let me keep the dryer purchased with the broken washer. So I had to pay for 2 dryers. Have been waiting 6 months for the replacement washer.

They charged my credit card and sent the matching dryer at 5 months. Have made more than 10 phone calls with waits of 30-70 minutes before talking with someone. The department I need to talk with is never available and they will not give me direct line or email. They are not calling me back or sending the washer.

Bearings Went Out For The Second Time In My Washer

Rating: 1/51

Getting close to retirement I decided to upgrade all of my appliances in the home. Maytag washer and dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher and glass top range with convection oven. Boy was I in for a rude awakening! The washer bearings went out and had to be repaired at a cost of $400. Had to put in a new ice maker in the refrigerator and that cost me $125. The oven is not working properly. Now the bearings went out of the washer AGAIN! All of the appliances are not over 3 - 4 years old. I will NEVER purchase another Maytag product. Period! The company offered no recourse for my problems. Customer service is a joke along with the quality of their products.

Buyer Beware - Product is Junk, Terrible Warranty
By -

I purchased a commercial grade washer/dryer set from Tom's Maytag that was delivered on 5/12/09. I specifically asked for a commercial grade because I wanted to make sure it would last and was told these ones were the best. Not even 3 months later, the washer started to act up, not properly laundering the clothes, and on 7/31/09 stopped supplying water to the cycle. Called the repairman and he came on 8/5/09 but wasn't able to fix it because the part needed was not available for another 10 days. I complained to Tom's Maytag and got them to rush the part.

Repairman returned a week later on 8/13/09, it was the wrong part, and the machine still wasn't working. He was supposed to call Maytag's techline support from the site but didn't have the number on him and instead of waiting for the shop to get him the number, he left. He told us w/o the tech support to guide him, his hands were tied - nothing he could do, don't know when he was to return. I went back to TM and complained again and was given a bunch of excuses for the repairman uselessness so I asked for my money back or a replacement. I was told the 2 yr warranty on the product was for repair only not replacement.

In order for TM to take the machine back, we had to go through Maytag's different channels and the tech support before the repairman could label it unrepairable and even so, who knows when I would get it. In the meantime the pile of laundry is growing exponentially and I have to deal with it w/o a machine, not their problem - nothing they can do until they contact tech support. The repairman came back on 8/17/09. Called tech support and was told another part was needed, he didn't have it but he'll come back tomorrow by 11:00 am. Today 8/18/09, he was a no show so we called and were told the part is on backorder - another 48 hrs or more until they get it.

I called Maytag this time and sure enough, was given a bunch of excuses and reasons for delay. I argued that we'd already wasted 8 days the first time waiting on a part that wasn't broke, nothing guarantees me that this new part we are waiting on will fix it, yet Maytag still refused to replace it. Instead they are offering an extra year warranty, now I asked: "What good does this do when the product is crap, the repairman is inept, and their customer service sucks?" The way I see it, their solution is just an extra year of timeless aggravation having to deal with them and the lemon washer, no thanks!

All I want is a machine that WORKS!! Had I known Maytag's warranties and policies were not worth a darn, I could've gone to Menards, bought a cheap korean made washer with a 1 yr mfg. warranty that had probably lasted longer than this commercial piece of crap Maytag washer and being ahead of the game.

Tom's Maytag and Maytag Corporation are inconsiderate and unprofessional. I don't understand why they can't take the washer back, replace it, and take their sweet time waiting for the parts to repair it and resale it used later or take the part out one of the floor models to fix mine. Instead they rather me, the consumer, go without it for as long as it takes - THEY DON'T CARE!

I had it with them, I don't even want a replacement anymore, I want my money back. After this, I don't want to deal with them EVER. They have lost my business, my family, friends, and all those I would come across warning them about doing business with them.
