Why Homeowners Choose Appliance Repair Pros for Maytag Repairs
Brand specific diagnostics and correct root cause testing
Maytag appliances are built to be tough, but they rely on complex sensors and control boards to operate their heavy duty cycles. A washer that won’t agitate might have a stripped hub or a failed shift actuator. We use Maytag specific diagnostic modes to test these parts individually. We do not guess. We verify voltage, resistance, and mechanical engagement to ensure we are fixing the right part the first time.
Experience across Maytag Commercial Technology and Pet Pro
We understand the differences between standard models and the specialized sub lines. The Pet Pro line, for example, has a unique filtration system designed to catch hair, which can clog and cause drainage issues if not serviced correctly. Machines with Maytag Commercial Technology often use different belts and springs than standard models. We carry the knowledge to service these specific designs effectively.
Respect for the home and clean work habits
We treat your Boston home with care. Whether you have a finished basement in South Boston or a kitchen renovation in Charlestown, we protect your floors and surfaces.

Common Problems We Fix in Maytag Appliances
Maytag washer not agitating or spinning
This is a frequent issue with Maytag top loaders. The motor runs, but the drum doesn’t move, or it makes a grinding noise. This leaves clothes wet and dirty.
- Splutch (cam) assembly failure
- Shift actuator failure
- Worn drive belt
- Stripped wash plate hub
- Lid lock failure
How we diagnose it
We tip the machine back to inspect the drive system underneath. We put the machine in diagnostic mode to test the shifter. If the actuator arm is broken or the optical sensor is dirty, the machine cannot engage the transmission.
What you can do right now
Check for an unbalanced load. Redistribute wet heavy items like towels. Ensure the lid is clicking shut; if the lock doesn’t engage, the spin cycle will not start.
Maytag refrigerator runs but is not cooling
Maytag fridges are workhorses, but cooling failures can happen. This puts your food safety at risk. It is often related to the defrost system or the compressor start components.
- Condenser coils clogged with dust
- Start relay or capacitor failure
- Defrost control board failure
- Evaporator fan motor burned out
- Temperature control thermostat broken
How we diagnose it
We listen for the compressor. If it clicks and shuts off, the start relay is bad. We check the frost pattern in the freezer; a solid wall of ice means the automatic defrost cycle is not working.
What you can do right now
Clean the coils under or behind the fridge. Make sure the vents inside the freezer are not blocked by boxes of food.
Maytag dishwasher not cleaning dishes
Maytag dishwashers use a powerful chopper blade to grind up food. If this blade fails or the filter gets clogged, dishes come out gritty.
- Chopper blade screen clogged
- Wash motor capacitor failure
- Water inlet valve not opening fully
- Upper rack feed tube disconnected
- Control board relay failure
How we diagnose it
We inspect the sump area for debris. We check the chopper blade assembly to see if the spring is broken. We test the wash motor to ensure it is generating enough pressure to spin the spray arms.
What you can do right now
Clean the filter at the bottom of the tub. Check the spray arms for blocked holes. Run the hot water at the sink before starting the cycle to ensure hot water enters the unit.
Maytag dryer squealing or thumping
Maytag dryers are built tough, but the rollers and idler pulleys are wear items. A loud squeal indicates metal on metal contact.
- Worn drum support rollers
- Idler pulley bearing seized
- Blower wheel loose
- Rear drum bearing worn (older models)
- Belt frayed
How we diagnose it
We disassemble the dryer cabinet to inspect the support system. We spin the rollers by hand. If one is bad, we usually recommend replacing the full set to ensure quiet operation for years to come.
What you can do right now
Stop using the dryer to prevent damage to the drum. Check the inside of the drum for loose change or screws that might be rattling.
Maytag oven not heating
Whether gas or electric, a cold oven disrupts dinner. Maytag ovens often suffer from igniter failures or control board issues.
- Weak glow bar igniter (gas)
- Burnt out bake element (electric)
- Temperature sensor failure
- Control board not sending power
- Thermal fuse blown
How we diagnose it
On gas units, we check the amperage of the igniter. If it’s weak, it won’t open the valve. On electric units, we test the element for continuity. We also check the temperature sensor resistance.
What you can do right now
Check if the broiler works. If the broiler works, the issue is isolated to the bake system. Look for visible breaks in the electric element.
Our Maytag Repair Services by Appliance Type
Maytag refrigerator and freezer repair
We repair Maytag French door, side by side, and top freezer models. A common issue we see is the “Jazz” control board failing, which causes the defrost cycle to stop working. We also address cooling issues in the PowerCold feature and leaks from the water dispenser. We carry the specific start relays and defrost timers these units often need.
Symptoms we commonly fix:
- Fridge warm, freezer cold
- Clicking noise from the compressor area
- Sheet of ice on freezer floor

Maytag washing machine repair
We service Maytag Bravos top loaders and Maxima front loaders. The Bravos units often have bearing issues that cause a loud roar during spin. We perform the major tub jobs required to fix this. On front loaders, we replace door boot seals and fix drainage errors caused by clogged pumps. We also replace the lid lock assemblies which are a common safety failure point.
Symptoms we commonly fix:
- Loud roaring noise (bearing failure)
- Lid lock flashing
- Clothes wet at end of cycle

- uL (Unbalanced Load) error
- Leaking water from underneath
Maytag dryer repair
Maytag dryers are known for their high capacity. We fix heating issues caused by clogged home vents which blow the thermal fuse. We also repair the mechanical squeaks and thumps caused by worn rollers. We verify that the moisture sensor bars are clean and working, so your “Auto Dry” cycle functions correctly.
Symptoms we commonly fix:
- No heat
- Loud squeaking
- Timer not advancing
- Won’t start (push to start switch)
- Drum not turning
- Check Vent light on
Maytag dishwasher repair
We repair Maytag dishwashers with the PowerBlast cycle and stainless steel tubs. We often fix issues with the control panel where buttons become unresponsive. We also replace the chopper blade assembly when it breaks, which restores cleaning performance. We ensure the unit drains completely to prevent odors.
Symptoms we commonly fix:
- Dishes dirty or gritty
- Not draining
- Control panel lights flashing
- Soap dispenser broken
- Leaking from door
- Loud grinding noise
Maytag oven range and cooktop repair
We repair Maytag gas and electric ranges, including Gemini double oven models. We replace the spark modules on gas cooktops that click continuously. On electric stoves, we replace the infinite switches that control the surface burners. We also calibrate the oven temperature to ensure your baking is precise.
Symptoms we commonly fix:
- Oven not heating
- Gas burner clicking but not lighting
- F1 or F3 error codes
- Door locked shut
- Burner only works on high
- Glass cooktop cracked
Maytag microwave repair
We service over the range Maytag microwaves. Common failures include the unit running but not heating due to a magnetron failure, or the door switches wearing out which causes the unit to act dead. We handle the removal and reinstallation of these mounted units safely.
Symptoms we commonly fix:
- No heat
- Turntable not turning
- Fan won’t turn off
- Door handle broken
- Sparks inside
- Touchpad not working
Brand Notes for Maytag Commercial Technology and Bravos
Maytag Commercial Technology (MCT)
Many residential Maytag units carry the MCT badge, indicating they use commercial grade components like stronger springs, belts, and motors. While these parts are durable, they require specific tensioning and installation techniques. We are experienced in identifying these specific “MCT” parts to ensure we maintain the integrity of the machine during repair.
- Heavy duty motor capacitor testing
- Commercial grade belt replacement
- Stiff suspension spring replacement
- Metal gearcase diagnostics
Maytag Bravos service and repair
The Bravos line is Maytag’s high efficiency top load series. These machines use very little water and rely on a wash plate rather than an agitator. They are prone to “uL” unbalance errors if the suspension rods wear out. We replace these rods to stop the banging. We also fix the noisy hub assemblies that can make a grinding sound during the wash cycle.
- Suspension rod replacement
- Wash plate hub kit repair
- Control board programming
- Lid lock alignment
Maytag Pet Pro service and repair
The Pet Pro line features a built in filter to trap pet hair. This filter must be cleaned regularly, but if it gets clogged internally, it can cause drainage and pump issues. We know how to access and clear the internal housing of the Pet Pro system to restore flow and prevent pump failure.
- Pet Pro filter housing cleaning
- Drain pump debris removal
- Hair clog removal from recirculation tubes
Understanding Common Maytag Error Codes and Warnings
Maytag codes help pinpoint the issue. Here are common ones we see.
- F01 (Washer): Main Control failure. The board is not communicating.
- F51 (Washer): Rotor Position Sensor error. The motor speed is not being read.
- uL (Washer): Unbalanced Load. The load is too heavy or suspension is bad.
- Sd / 5d (Washer): Suds detected. Too much detergent or drain clog.
- Ld (Washer): Long Drain. The washer is taking too long to empty.
- F1-E1 (Oven): Electronic control board failure.
- F3-E1 (Oven): Sensor error. The temperature sensor is open or shorted.
- Clean (Dishwasher): Blinking pattern often indicates a heater or thermistor failure.
- PF (All): Power Failure. Current was interrupted.
- AF (Dryer): Airflow restricted. Check the vent.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Owners in Boston
To keep your Maytag appliances running like new, follow these maintenance tips.
Clean the Bravos hub. On top loaders, remove the wash plate cap and clean out debris. This prevents grinding noises.
Check dryer vents. Maytag dryers are powerful, but a clogged vent in a Boston home can cause them to overheat. Clean the duct annually.
Vacuum fridge coils. Keep the condenser coils clean to protect the compressor and start relay.
Use HE detergent. Bravos and Maxima washers require HE detergent. Using regular soap causes “Sd” errors and damages the bearings.
Clean the dishwasher filter. Even with the chopper blade, the fine mesh filter needs rinsing to prevent grit on dishes.
Inspect hoses. Replace rubber fill hoses with stainless steel braided hoses every 5 years to prevent flooding.
Don’t overload. Even though Maytag units are large, overloading them strains the suspension and motor.
Clean Pet Pro filters. If you have a Pet Pro unit, clean the filter after every heavy pet hair load.

Frequently Asked Questions About Maytag Appliance Repair
Why is my Maytag washer making a loud roaring noise during spin?
This usually indicates a tub bearing failure. On Bravos and other top loaders, the water seal fails, allowing water to rust the bearings. It sounds like a jet engine. We can perform the necessary repair to replace the bearings and seal.
What does the uL code mean on my Maytag washer?
uL stands for Unbalanced Load. It means the washer cannot spin the clothes safely. If the load is balanced but the code persists, the suspension rods are likely worn out and need replacement.
Is it worth repairing a 10 year old Maytag dryer?
Yes, Maytag dryers are very durable. Replacing wear items like rollers, belts, and heating elements is very cost effective and can extend the life of the dryer significantly.
Why is my Maytag dishwasher blinking lights?
Blinking lights on the control panel usually indicate a stuck button or an error code. For example, a blinking “Clean” light often means a heating fault. We can read the pattern to diagnose the issue.
Can you fix the ice maker in my Maytag fridge?
Yes, we fix Maytag ice makers. Common issues include the module failing to cycle or the water inlet valve not opening. We carry the parts to get you ice again.
Do you carry Maytag parts?
Yes, Maytag shares many components with Whirlpool, and we stock a wide variety of common parts like actuators, lid locks, and heating elements on our trucks.
How do I reset my Maytag washer?
Unplug the unit for one minute. Plug it back in and open and close the lid 6 times in 12 seconds. This resets the motor position. If the error returns, diagnostics are needed.
Why is my gas oven taking so long to heat?
A weak glow bar igniter is the most common cause. It must get hot enough to release the gas. If it is weak, it glows but the gas valve stays closed. Replacing it fixes the problem.
Is there a Maytag technician near me?
Yes, we have technicians located throughout Boston and the nearby neighborhoods listed on this page. We are ready to respond to your service request.
Why won’t my Maytag washer drain?
Check the drain hose for kinks. If it is clear, the drain pump may be clogged or failed. On front loaders, check the coin trap filter. On top loaders, the pump is underneath and may need replacement.
