Maytag Corporation Ovens Consumer Reviews - Page 2

KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII -- I baked an apple pie. To keep the oven clean, I put down foil. The smallest piece of apple caused flames and my home to fill with smoke. Then they get you!!! You can't use the oven again until you clean it at 350 degrees for 3 hours. That's frightening, because to clean, it HAS to preheat to 350 degrees again, and I'm afraid that it will start to burn again... and burn my home down.

Recently I tried to use my oven and several of the buttons on the digital pad were not functioning. However, the time is still displayed.

For no reason that we could determine, the black handle of the microwave oven cracked in the middle of the night with a loud crack sound that woke us from a sound sleep. We could not purchase the handle alone without the door. The company would not sell us a door. It cost as much to repair as a new item would cost. The fan is very loud. It has not been a good product for us.

SEBRING, FLORIDA -- Model MER5875RAB is garbage! Three service calls - no one knows what they are doing. Replaced brain, replaced thermostat, oven still does not work. Large burner in front went out. It's going to the curb for trash pick-up. Maytag used to be a good product but now they just sell garbage. Over $1000.00 for garbage. I will never buy Maytag again.

Yes they do fall off. Often. Twice in the two years we've owned the appliances. We just purchased another replacement handle - this time for a MER6775AAS double oven. While installing it ourselves, we noticed that the design has changed subtly from the original - there is no longer a metal insert inside the plastic handle connection. Is this the 'smoking gun' that Maytag blew it and has been selling a defective product all along - while we suckers keep paying to fix 'em?

On November 17th we purchased 4 new Maytag appliances. The microwave rattles & shakes, some parts have been replaced with others still to come. Electric range has had top, back, timer, & convection motor replaced so far. Convection oven is no faster than regular oven, just costs more. Dealer is very cooperative but can't re design these units & ensure quality control at the Maytag Iowa factory.
