Maytag Washer Repair

Maytag washers are the Maytag appliance we repair most in the Sacramento area. We work on Maytag top-load and front-load models, including Bravos, Maxima and Centennial washers. See our washing machine repair service for all brands.

Maytag Washer Not Spinning

A Maytag washer that fills and agitates but will not spin, or that leaves clothes soaking wet at the end of the cycle, is the most common Maytag problem we hear about. Before you call, check that the load is not too small or bunched to one side, and that the lid or door closes fully. If the spin cycle still does not work, the cause is usually the lid lock or door lock, a drain problem that stops the washer from moving on to spin, a worn drive belt or coupler, the shifter or clutch, or the motor and its control. We test each part in order and replace only the one that has failed. Our article on why a Maytag washer is not spinning explains the safe checks in more detail.

Other Maytag Washer Problems

We also fix Maytag washers that will not drain, will not fill, leak from underneath, bang or walk across the floor during spin, smell musty, or will not start at all. The fix might be a drain pump, a water inlet valve, the suspension, a door seal, a switch or the control board. We find the cause before recommending any part.

Maytag Dryer Repair

Maytag gas and electric dryers usually reach us because they run but do not heat, take two or three cycles to dry a load, stop partway through a cycle, or make squealing or thumping noises. The usual causes are a heating element or gas igniter, a thermal fuse or thermostat, a worn belt, idler pulley or drum rollers, or a blocked vent. We repair the dryer and check the venting, because a restricted vent makes drying slow and makes the dryer work harder. See our dryer repair service.

Maytag Refrigerator and Dishwasher Repair

Maytag kitchen appliances get the same care as Maytag laundry. For refrigerators, we fix units that are not cooling, freezers that frost up, ice makers that stop working, and water leaks. For dishwashers, we fix units that will not drain, will not clean, leak, or will not start. Learn more about refrigerator repair and dishwasher repair.

Maytag Ranges and Ovens

We repair Maytag gas and electric ranges and ovens that will not heat, cook unevenly, have burners that will not light, or have controls that do not respond. A failed bake or broil element, igniter, sensor or control board is usually the cause. See our range repair page.

Who Makes Maytag Today, and Who Repairs It?

Maytag has been part of Whirlpool Corporation since 2006, so many Maytag appliances share designs and parts with Whirlpool models. Owners often ask whether Maytag has its own repair service. Manufacturer service is the right choice while your appliance is still under warranty, because a covered repair costs you nothing.

Fair Appliance Repair Service is an independent, local company, not Maytag or Whirlpool factory service. Once your warranty has ended, or when you need someone quickly, we repair Maytag appliances with OEM parts and our own 90-day parts and labor warranty. We also repair Whirlpool appliances from the same family.

Repair or Replace Your Maytag Washer or Dryer?

A Maytag washer or dryer is usually worth repairing when the fault is one part, such as a lid lock, pump, belt, heating element or thermal fuse, and the drum, tub and cabinet are still in good shape. These repairs cost much less than buying and installing a new machine.

Replacement makes more sense when the tub, transmission or drum is badly damaged, when several major parts fail at once, or when the repair price is close to the cost of a new model. We give you an honest answer and an upfront estimate after the diagnosis. The diagnosis is free when you book the repair.

How a Maytag Repair Works

Here is what to expect, from the first call to clean, dry laundry.

1. Tell us what is wrong: call (916) 333-8388 or book online. We often have same-day openings.
2. We find the fault: at your home, the technician runs the washer or dryer, tests the suspect parts and shows you the cause.
3. You see the price first: a fixed estimate with no hidden fees. If you decline, only the diagnostic fee applies.
4. We fix it and stand behind it: OEM parts, a test run, and a 90-day parts and labor warranty.

Maytag Repair FAQ

These are the Maytag questions we hear most often from Sacramento homeowners.

Why is my Maytag washer not spinning?

The most common causes are a lid or door lock fault, a drain problem, a worn belt or coupler, or a motor or control issue. An unbalanced or very small load can also stop the spin. We test the washer and fix the cause, usually in one visit.

Why is my Maytag dryer not heating?

In electric dryers it is often the heating element or a thermal fuse. In gas dryers it is often the igniter or the gas valve coils. A blocked vent can also cause overheating and shutdowns.

What company took over Maytag?

Maytag has been part of Whirlpool Corporation since 2006.

Does Maytag have its own repair service?

Yes, the manufacturer offers service, which is best while your appliance is under warranty. Out of warranty, independent local companies like ours repair Maytag appliances, often with faster scheduling.

Is it worth repairing an older Maytag washer?

Often, yes. Most failures are single parts that cost much less to replace than a new washer. We tell you honestly if a repair is not worth it.

How much does a Maytag repair cost?

It depends on the part and the model. You get a clear, upfront estimate after the diagnosis, and the diagnosis is free when you book the repair.
