Why Homeowners Choose Appliance Repair Pros for Maytag Repairs

Maytag Specific Diagnostics

Modern Maytag appliances use specific diagnostic codes. For example, a washer might flash an “F7 E1” code indicating a speed sensor issue, but on a Maytag, this could specifically relate to the heavy-duty motor trying to spin an unbalanced load. We know how to interpret these codes in the context of Maytag’s robust suspension and drive systems to fix the root cause, not just clear the code.

Experience with Commercial Grade Components

Maytag often uses different internal components than standard Whirlpool models, such as stronger springs and metal internal gearing. When we repair your Maytag, we ensure we are using the correct specified parts that match the torque and load ratings of your machine. Using a cheaper, standard-grade part in a high-torque Maytag machine often leads to repeat failures.

Respect for the Home

We treat your home with care. We use protective mats for our tools and wear shoe covers to keep your floors clean. Whether we are wrestling a heavy washer out of a tight closet or accessing a refrigerator in a finished kitchen, we maintain a tidy workspace and clean up any packaging or debris before we leave.

Dependable Scheduling

We understand that when a Maytag breaks, it’s usually because it’s being used heavily. A broken washer means laundry piles up fast. We provide clear arrival windows and consistent communication. We strive to be prompt and reliable so you can get back to your daily routine.

Service Area Focus in Belmont

We are locally based which allows us to serve Belmont and the immediate neighbors efficiently. We are familiar with the local traffic patterns and housing styles. From the two-family homes near Cushing Square to the single-family residences near Payson Park, we are your local appliance experts.

Common Problems We Fix in Maytag Appliances

Maytag Washer not spinning or agitating

The washer fills with water but sits silent or makes a grinding noise. On Maytag units, this can often be the “splutch” (cam assembly) or the actuator.

Stripped hub assembly (under the agitator)
Failed shift actuator
Broken drive belt
Lid lock failure (light flashing)

How we diagnose it: We remove the wash plate to inspect the hub teeth. If they are ground smooth, the motor spins but the agitator won’t. We also check the error history for shifter faults.

What you can do right now: Try running a “Drain and Spin” cycle. If it drains but doesn’t spin, the pump is working but the drive system is compromised.

Maytag Refrigerator not cooling

If the fridge is warm but the freezer is cold, it’s often a defrost issue or a fan failure. Maytag fridges also suffer from start relay failures on the compressor.

Compressor start relay failure (clicking sound)
Evaporator fan motor failure
Defrost control board failure
Dirty condenser coils

How we diagnose it: We check the amp draw of the compressor and test the start relay. We also inspect the frost pattern on the evaporator coils behind the freezer wall.

What you can do right now: Vacuum the coils at the bottom or back of the fridge. Check if the fan in the freezer is humming.

Maytag Dishwasher not cleaning (chopper issue)

Maytag dishwashers often use a food chopper blade. If this blade breaks or the screen clogs, water circulation drops drastically.

Broken food chopper blade
Failed circulation pump
Clogged wash arm jets
Diverter motor failure

How we diagnose it: We listen for the sound of the chopper grinding. We remove the lower spray arm and filter cover to inspect the chopper assembly visually.

What you can do right now: Check the holes in the spray arms. If they are clogged with seeds or debris, use a toothpick to clear them.

Maytag Oven not heating

The oven display says it’s preheating, but it never reaches temperature. This is usually an igniter on gas models or an element on electric ones.

Weak gas igniter (glows but won’t light gas)
Burned out bake element
Temperature sensor probe failure
Control board relay failure

How we diagnose it: We measure the resistance of the igniter or element. If the igniter is weak, it won’t draw enough current to open the gas safety valve.

What you can do right now: Test the broil function. If broil works, you know you have gas/power to the unit, and the issue is specific to the bake circuit.

Maytag Dryer squeaking or rumbling

Maytag dryers are built tough, but the rollers and idler pulleys eventually wear out, causing loud noises.

Worn drum support rollers
Idler pulley bearing seizure
Blower wheel loose on motor shaft
Worn drum glides

How we diagnose it: We manually rotate the drum to feel for rough spots. We disassemble the cabinet to inspect the condition of the rubber rollers and the belt tensioner.

What you can do right now: If the noise is a high-pitched squeal, stop using the dryer immediately to prevent the belt from snapping or the motor from burning out.

Maytag Washer “LD” or “F5 E1” (Long Drain)

The washer stops with water in the tub. This means the pump cannot push the water out fast enough.

Clogged drain pump filter
Coin or sock stuck in the pump
Failed drain pump motor
Kinked drain hose

How we diagnose it: We check the drain hose for obstructions. We listen to the pump motor; a humming sound usually means it is jammed with debris.

What you can do right now: Check the drain hose behind the washer to ensure it isn’t crushed against the wall.

Our Maytag Repair Services by Appliance Type

Maytag Refrigerator and Freezer Repair

Maytag fridges are robust, often featuring “Fingerprint Resistant” stainless steel. We commonly repair the defrost systems and the ice makers. The “Wide-N-Fresh” deli drawers can also have track issues that we fix.

Symptoms we commonly fix: Ice maker leaking, fridge warming up, loud buzzing noise (fan hitting ice), water dispenser slow, frost buildup in freezer.

We verify that the “PowerCold” feature is engaging correctly and that the temperature sensors are calibrated.

Maytag Washing Machine Repair

Maytag is famous for washers. We service the legacy Dependable Care models (if parts are available) and the new Bravos and Front Load series. The “Fresh Hold” fan in front loaders is a specific component we troubleshoot if your washer smells moldy.

Symptoms we commonly fix: Washer won’t agitate, loud spin cycle, lid lock stuck, water leaking from bottom, “uL” unbalanced load error.

We check the suspension rods (dampers) which are critical for the high-speed spin cycles on these machines.

Maytag Dryer Repair

Maytag dryers usually have a “commercial grade” motor. However, airflow restrictions can still kill the thermal fuse. We often replace the heating element assembly or the drum rollers to restore quiet operation.

Symptoms we commonly fix: No heat, takes too long to dry, dryer won’t start, squealing noise, timer knob broken.

We clean the interior lint pathways during every repair to ensure the “Extra Power” boost cycle can work safely.

Maytag Dishwasher Repair

Maytag dishwashers use a powerful food chopper. If you hear a grinding noise that stops the cycle, it’s often a jammed chopper. We also fix control panel issues where buttons stop responding.

Symptoms we commonly fix: Grinding noise, not draining, dishes dirty (chopper broken), leaking from door, control panel lights flashing.

We inspect the stainless steel tub for any leaks and test the high-pressure wash motor.

Maytag Oven Range and Cooktop Repair

Maytag ranges feature heavy-duty grates and handles. We often fix ignition issues on gas ranges or infinite switch failures on electric cooktops. The “Precision Cooking” system relies on accurate sensor data which we verify.

Symptoms we commonly fix: Oven temperature off, burner clicking continuously, element not regulating heat, door lock stuck, F1 error code.

We check the heavy-duty door hinges to ensure the door seals tight, keeping heat inside for even baking.

Maytag Microwave Repair

Over-the-range microwaves often suffer from door switch issues due to aggressive opening and closing. We also replace magnetrons when the unit stops heating.

Symptoms we commonly fix: No heat, turntable not turning, loud hum, sparks, display dead.

We verify the safety interlock switches are aligned correctly to ensure safe operation.

Understanding Common Maytag Error Codes and Warnings

Maytag units use standard codes, often shared with Whirlpool, but with specific troubleshooting steps.

F7 E1 (Washer): Basket Speed Sensor Fault. The basket isn’t spinning at the target speed.
LD (Washer): Long Drain. The pump is taking too long to empty the tub.
uL (Washer): Unbalanced Load. The load is too heavy or clumping.
F1 E1 (Oven): Electronic Control Board Fault. The main brain is failing.
LOC (Oven): Control Lock is on. Not an error, just a setting.
PF (All): Power Failure. The unit lost power during a cycle.
Sd (Washer): Suds Detected. Too much soap was used, slowing down the spin.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Owners in Belmont

Even commercial-grade appliances need care. Here are tips to keep your Maytag running strong.

Use HE Detergent Only: Maytag washers are designed for High Efficiency soap. Using regular soap creates “Sd” errors and damages the bearings.

Clean the Chopper (Dishwasher): If your Maytag dishwasher has a removable filter, clean it. If it has a chopper, run a monthly cleaner to keep it free of grease.

Vacuum Refrigerator Coils: Keep the condenser coils clean to prevent the compressor from overheating.

Check Suspension Rods: If your top loader starts banging, don’t ignore it. Replacing worn rods early saves the tub from cracking.

Clean Dryer Sensors: Wipe the metal moisture bars in the dryer with rubbing alcohol to keep the auto-dry accurate.

Exercise Gas Valves: Occasionally turn the gas shutoff valve behind the range to keep it from seizing up.

Inspect Door Gaskets: Wipe down fridge and freezer seals to prevent rips that leak cold air.

Frequently Asked Questions About Maytag Appliance Repair

Why is my Maytag washer making a loud roaring noise?

A loud roar that sounds like a jet engine during the spin cycle usually indicates that the tub bearings have failed. This allows water to reach the bearings, rusting them out. It requires a significant repair or tub replacement.

Is Maytag the same as Whirlpool?

Whirlpool owns Maytag, so they share many internal parts. However, Maytag units often feature “MCT” (Maytag Commercial Technology) upgrades like stronger springs, metal gears, and more robust motors in key areas.

My Maytag dishwasher isn’t cleaning the top rack?

This is often due to a lack of water pressure. It could be a clogged chopper screen, a bad circulation pump, or a broken seal on the docking station that feeds water to the upper arm.

Why won’t my Maytag washer lid unlock?

The lid lock is a safety device. If the control board detects that the basket is still moving or if the lock solenoid fails, it will stay locked. We can manually unlock it and replace the faulty mechanism.

Do you have a Maytag repair technician near me?

Yes, we are locally based in Belmont. We serve the local community and can often schedule appointments faster than national warranty services.

Why is my Maytag oven taking so long to preheat?

On gas models, this is a classic sign of a weak igniter. It glows but doesn’t get hot enough to open the gas safety valve quickly. Replacing the igniter restores fast preheat times.

What does the “Sd” code mean on my washer?

“Sd” stands for Suds. It means the pressure sensor detects too much foam, usually from using non-HE detergent or too much detergent. run a clean cycle with no clothes to clear it.

Can you fix the ice maker in my Maytag fridge?

Yes, we repair Maytag ice makers. Common issues include the module failing to cycle or the fill tube freezing up. We carry replacement modules in our trucks.

My Maytag dryer heats but doesn’t dry clothes well?

This is almost always a venting issue. Check your home’s vent line for clogs. If the air can’t get out, the moisture stays in. We can also check the blower wheel for lint buildup.

Why is my Maytag front loader leaking water?

The most common leak point is the door boot seal. Check it for small tears or trapped debris. The drain pump filter can also leak if it wasn’t tightened properly after cleaning.
