Maytag repair in Oak Lawn

Maytag laundry is built to last, and much of it is still going. Call and we’ll connect you with a technician for your Maytag.

Maytag has been part of Whirlpool Corporation since 2006. Its washers, dryers and dishwashers share many platforms and parts with Whirlpool models, which keeps parts easy to find and repairs routine.

The thing most Maytag owners do not realize is how long some of the laundry parts are covered. Check that before you pay for a motor or basket.

Using the 10-year parts warranty

If a Maytag washer’s motor has failed in years two through ten, the motor itself may be free under the limited warranty, and you pay only labor. That can change a repair-or-replace decision completely.

To use it, you need the model and serial number and the purchase date. Warranty work is arranged through Maytag’s own service, so contact Maytag first for covered parts. Non-warranty problems like pumps, belts, lid locks and dryer heating elements are ordinary repairs any appliance technician can handle.

Common Maytag repairs

Maytag models use Whirlpool-family diagnostics, so the fault codes and parts are often the same as on the equivalent Whirlpool machine. Check your model’s manual for its code list.

Recalls

We found no Maytag-brand CPSC safety recalls for major appliances from 2015 through 2026. Whirlpool Corporation’s recall page lists a dishwasher Quality Campaign that includes some Maytag models; it describes it as a free proactive upgrade with no safety risk. Check any model on the CPSC recall search.

Maytag repair questions

Does Maytag’s 10-year warranty cover labor?
No. The limited 10-year coverage is for specific parts only, such as the washer drive motor and stainless basket. You pay labor.
Who owns Maytag?
Whirlpool Corporation, since 2006.
My Maytag dryer runs but does not heat. What is it?
On an electric model, usually the thermal fuse or heating element; on gas, the igniter or gas valve coils. A blown thermal fuse often means the vent needs cleaning.
