My black Maytag side by side refrigerator, model MSD2652KEB is not blowing cold air. It is less than 3 years old. It has always made weird noises. The handles always fall off and have been replaced once. I gave up calling on them because it just keeps happening. I will never buy Maytag again! I keep the grill dust free, so it is probably the compressor, or losing freon, which neither should happen this early on. Now we get to spend another 1500.oo on a new fridge. But it won't be a Maytag!

our maytag refrigerator, model mfd2560hew, purchased Aug. 2004 needs a new compressor. cost:653.69.just months out of warranty! for what these 'frig's cost, this "reliability" is unbelievable! we will not have this product repaired, and will look for another product that is more reliable. from what i read in other blogs, this frig, along with many others will be in landfills. i will never purchase another maytag product again.

Upon deliver of our bottom freezer french door model one year ago, the refrigerator never got cold. Customer support people were snarky idiots and wouldn't dispatch any one until the refrigerator had run hot for 36 hours. When the repairman finally showed up after three weeks he determined that the factory had forgot to charge the coolant. He filled it and sealed it. One year later, the freezer works fine, but now the top only cools just enough to prevent spoilage on the highest setting and the unit is noisy. I await its failure.

Bought a Maytag MZD2752GRW side-by-side about 4-5 years ago. I use to love it until, it started having problems, it had to be serviced at least 3 times, Plus the recall service for a potential fire issue. The fridge isn't getting cold again on the fridge side, and the freezer part appears to be cold but leaks water on my kitchen floor.

Called the Maytag Manufacturer 1-866-, spoke to several different people their and all they can tell me is the since the service we did was Oct. 24, 2009, it is over 90 days. We can send someone out but you will be charged since it's over the 90 day period. They can't even tell me how much its going to cost me this time.

I am sick of these company's that don't make products that don't last. I'm back to using my 15 year old refrigerator that works better than the Maytag. Someone Needs to Help us people who bought these Maytag Products.

I bought a Maytag black refrigerator, model no. PTB1954GR5 in 2004 and it recently died. The compressor went and as I did not have an extended warranty, I had to replace a fridge that was only 6 years old. Very disappointed with the quality of Maytag products and it will be a long time before I purchase Maytag again.

On 12/23/2004 i purchased a brand new maytag stainless /black refrigerator at loews bought extended service plan, on 07/23/06 refrigerator stop cooling repair was made through loews on 12/23/06 same problem on 08/09 i called maytag repair and they sent a service man he said the unit was beyon repair and said i will receive a new unit. my model no longer exist they wanted me to pay out of pocket in the amount of 800.00 when lows and home depot has the same unit for 500.00 less

my model # is MDF2560HES. I was happy with my refrigerator i built my kitchen around it every piece of my appliances says maytag or worldpool in stainless steal and black this monochromatic will have to be an adjustment for me , finally on 02/03/10 they decided that i could go to loews and pick out a replacemant for the same amount of money

i paid for my unit i received a call from lows to come and get my fridge when i got there i was told that worldpool said i am only to get a unit for 1552. what can i get for that money i paid 2500. for my unit, and it lost less than 4 years it would have depreciated if i was trying to sell it, but its no good its should have been replace since in 2006 after they had to come out twice for the same problem.

We have a Maytag side by side refrigerator with the elevator shelf. To date, the ice dispenser panel had been replaced due to the original unit catching on fire. The handles have been replaced twice due to discoloration or cracking. Vann's in Missoula, MT has been out to service the icemaker numerous times. I have paid for the extended warranty since our original warranty expired and last year, I did not renew it. I had not had any issues, so I thought maybe things would be O.K..

On 1/2/10, we awoke to a flooded kitchen due to the icemaker not shutting off after it cycled. Our vinyl flooring has to be replaced, all of our kitchen cabinets need to be replaced, and the carpet adjoining the kitchen needs to be replaced, all of our kitchen cabinets need to be replaced, and the carpet adjoining the kitchen needs to be re-stretched and tacked down. I truly feel this refrigerator should have been replaced when fire occurred.

Your customer service department assured me that the new part would be safe and that I shouldn't have anything to worry about ever again with the refrigerator. I hate it! Now I am dealing with Farmers Insurance, the Water Restoration Company, construction that I really don't have time for or want, and a 1,000 deductible that I really can't afford. I am requesting that someone other than a clerk look into my concerns and contact me immediately.

Puchased a Maytag S.S. side-by-side with french door freezer in late '05 from Home Depot. The appliance has been down 4 times since. This last break down is going on one month. It has been misdiagnosed twice by the "certified" Maytag service company. The first repair person from Anytime Service declared he was an expert and the compressor was perfect but the computer board may be defective. He plugged the fridge in and said it was fixed. Five days later it broke down again. The owner then came out and said it was a bad compressor.

Whirlpool was kind enough to send us a computer board and thermostat after we threatened to sue, along with a new compressor which was covered by the warranty. The service company then came back a week later changed the compressor, computer board and thermo controls; It took an entire day. Guess what? The refrigerator is down again. Now it's the evaporator coil. Six weeks down and counting.
