What We Fix on Maytag
By appliance. The list is short because Maytag comes to us as a laundry brand.
What Maytag Machines Are Like to Work On
The parts come off the same local shelf
A Maytag washer that won't drain is usually the drain pump or a broken wire to it. One that won't lock is usually the lid lock, and one that walks out of balance usually needs new suspension rods. They're Whirlpool parts, carried locally.
Is It Worth Keeping?
Maytag inherits Whirlpool's best quality, which is that the parts are easy and cheap enough that most repairs are obviously worth doing.
The badge carries a reputation for durability from an earlier era. Whether the current machines live up to it is a separate question, and Aaron's general view is that appliances made today are built more cheaply than the ones he started on. That argues for repairing the one you have rather than replacing it.

What It Costs
$100 service call, applied to the repair.
No published prices. Because Maytag is Whirlpool underneath, the parts situation is the same, and so is the cost profile.
One number, given up front.
How the Visit Goes
The Age Range, and the Name on the Front
Maytag machines he gets called to run from about three years old to twenty and beyond.
The name carries a reputation built before the company was bought, and the honest position is that a Maytag today is a Whirlpool. Aaron says so plainly because it is the useful fact, not the disappointing one: it means the parts are easy to get, locally, and it means the machine is repairable long after the warranty has gone.
What it does not mean is that a Maytag is the same as any other Whirlpool-family machine on the inside. The model number still decides the platform, which is why it is the first thing asked for.
Finding the Model Number on a Maytag
Maytag publishes the same locations Whirlpool does, which is what you would expect given who builds them, and they are worth having in front of you before you call.

Questions We Get Asked
Is Maytag still built to the old reputation?
The name goes back a long way and the machines behind it now are Whirlpool. That isn't a criticism; Whirlpool machines are the ones we fix most and the ones easiest to get parts for.
What Maytag machines does Aaron actually see?
Laundry, almost without exception. Washers and dryers are what arrives wearing this badge in this service area, and the fault list on this page is the laundry one for that reason. If yours is a different Maytag appliance, say so on the phone and you will get a straight answer rather than a guess.
Do I pay for the diagnosis?
$100, and it comes off the repair if you go ahead.
Same day?
Sometimes. Most Maytag calls get booked a day or two out and that suits most people.
Warranty?
Ninety days on parts and labor, boards excepted. Full terms on the FAQs.
