What a Lemon. Purchased it and 4 months the compressor went out. Then 3 months after getting that if fixed it quite working again. Maytag consumer service rep are rude and do not intend on ever replacing the product or giving you money back. What a waste of 650 plus all the food that was spoiled over 1500 worth. I am going to write and tell everyone I know what a terrible company they are to deal with.

Refrigerator caught fire; smelled burning insulation & plastic. Thick yellow/brown smoke billowing from refrigerator. After getting it outside and cooled down, saw that controls in back top of refrigerator unit (not freezer-top freezer model) had totally melted. This was the start/cause of the fire.

Lost around 500 worth of food and refrigerator (original cost around 450). Whole house smelled of burned electric parts. Unit was only around 3 years old. Maytag offered to reimburse us for the food ONLY IF WE APPLIED THE MONEY TOWARDS ANOTHER MAYTAG REFRIGERATOR. We don't WANT another Maytag!!!!

We purchased a Maytag French Door bottom freezer Stainless Steel model MFD2561KES unit with the extended warranty. Shortly after delivery we started hearing a noise probably from the compressor that now lasts about 3 seconds each time the compressor starts. Recently we called the extended warranty number and they told us that it would need to fail before they would do anything. Today I read about all the Maytag problems and have decided that if it stops working it will not even consider fixing it. No more Maytags for us.

Concern about long term durability.

Bought a side by side Maytag Model MSD 2465GEW in March of 2001. On 10-28-08 the Compressor started to smoke eventual filling the entire Kitchen with smoke. There was a burning smell for approx. 30 minutes prior. Thank God we were home and also that we had already called the Fire Dept who was onsite as the heavy smoke began to come from the back of the unit. The Fire Chief determined it was the Compressor on the unit.

I purchased a mff2558kew french door refrigerator 11/08/07 from home depot in cleveland tn. On the 26th. of july 2008 the refrige compartment quit cooling. Five days later a repairman from A&Ecame out and repaced a blend door and it worked for two and a half months. Now oct.25 2008 its doing the same thing. This time called a&e again. they dindn't even come to the house a tech called me and ask what it was doing. I told him the samething he said he was going to order an update and it would be installed on the 31st. of oct.

Today is the thirty and they called and said the part was on back order would be shipped directy to me. And I was to call them to schelude an appointment for instalation. So I called maytag and told them my problem. Having spoke to several people I finnally spoke to someone in mangement named bridgett. She was nice but that doesn't fix my fridge. I'v spent money for ice plus taking time off to meet the repairman. I live in cleveland Tn. where maytag has a plant. I tried to buy locally to help. I wouldn't recomend a maytag applance to anyone.If they would only try to help. I think I'm stuck with a 1400.00 lemon.

Time off from work moving food to a icechest, buying ice daily, plus losing food. Now if they do fix it I'll always wonder is it going to be working when i get home.
