About the brand
About Maytag Refrigerators
Maytag is an American brand that has been part of Whirlpool since 2006. For years, its ads showed a bored repairman with nothing to do, a joke about how rarely Maytag products broke. Today’s Maytag fridges share many parts and designs with Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Amana.
That history matters for repairs. Older Maytag fridges, built before the Whirlpool merger, use different parts than newer ones. Some of those parts are now hard to find. We check your model number first so we know which design we are working with.
Maytag is best known for strong side-by-side and top freezer models, plus French door units with features like PowerCold fast cooling. The repairs we see most involve the dispenser, the defrost system and the evaporator fan.
We are an independent refrigerator repair company. We are not affiliated with, or an authorized service center for, Maytag. Brand names are used only to describe the appliances we repair.

Questions
Maytag Refrigerator Repair FAQs
Answers to common questions from Maytag owners.
Why is my Maytag water dispenser not working?
A frozen water line in the freezer door, a clogged filter, a failed inlet valve or a bad dispenser switch are the most common causes.
Who makes Maytag refrigerators?
Maytag has been part of Whirlpool since 2006. Newer models share parts with Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Amana.
Can you still get parts for old Maytag refrigerators?
Many parts are still available, but some older pre-2006 parts are hard to find. We check your model and give honest advice.
Why is my Maytag freezer making a squealing noise?
That is usually the evaporator fan motor wearing out. Replacing it stops the noise and protects cooling.
Is a Maytag refrigerator worth repairing?
In most cases, yes. Dispenser, fan and defrost repairs cost much less than a new fridge.
Are you a Maytag authorized service center?
No. We are an independent repair company. If your Maytag is under factory warranty, contact Maytag first.
