Maytag appliances are built to work hard, and when one stops, it is usually worth fixing. We repair Maytag laundry, refrigeration, dishwashers and cooking appliances in your home, and tell you when a part is still under Maytag’s 10-year coverage.

Book NowMaytag has built its name on dependability, and the brand still backs that with a 10-year limited parts warranty on major appliances made after 2017. In practice that means two things for an owner. First, the parts Maytag lists, such as a refrigerator compressor or a washer drive motor, may be covered long after year one, though labor is not. Second, the parts that fail most often, such as lid locks, pumps, valves, igniters and sensors, are covered only in the first year, which is when most owners start looking for a local technician. ALAS repairs Maytag washers, dryers, refrigerators, ice makers, dishwashers, ranges, wall ovens, cooktops and microwaves in homes and rental properties across Dallas–Fort Worth. We read Maytag’s own codes, test the part they point to, give you the price in writing and tell you if Maytag still owes you the part. ALAS is independent and not affiliated with Maytag or Whirlpool Corporation.

Refrigerator warming up or washer leaking? Book online or call for the earliest visit available.A warm refrigerator full of groceries or a washer leaking across the floor needs attention soon.

Maytag’s 10-year coverage is a limited parts warranty on major appliances made after 2017, with all parts and labor covered only in the first year. The covered parts differ by appliance: the compressor on a refrigerator; the stainless tub, nylon racks and chopper on a dishwasher; the drive motor and wash basket on a washer; the drive motor and drum on a dryer; burners, elements, the ceramic top, grates and cavity on a range or wall oven; and the magnetron and cavity on a microwave (Maytag warranty (opens in a new tab)).
Everything else, including lid locks, pumps, valves, igniters, sensors and control boards, is covered for the first year only. When we diagnose a Maytag, we tell you which side of that line the failed part falls on, so you know whether to claim the part from Maytag before paying for one. Our pages for washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens and ranges, microwaves and ice makers each explain what applies.
If your Maytag is in its first year, start with Maytag; it covers parts and labor that year, and Maytag explains how to request service on its repair help page (opens in a new tab). ALAS is independent, not a Maytag service provider, and we would rather you use coverage you already have.
After year one, the choice is yours. Labor is billed whether Maytag or a local company does the work, and the most common failures aren’t on Maytag’s 10-year list. A local technician gives you one written price, a visit scheduled around you and our own repair warranty: 90 days, 6 months for ALAS members and 12 months on sealed-system work.
Maytag’s Bravos and Bravos XL top-loaders are no longer sold new, but Maytag still keeps owner pages for them and many are still working in North Texas laundry rooms. Their common repairs, such as lid locks, drain pumps, inlet valves and shifters, are single parts, which is why we rarely recommend scrapping one for a single fault.
Newer Maytag lines bring their own service points. Pet Pro washers hold a pet-hair filter in the agitator that Maytag says to clean after the cycle while it is still damp (Maytag’s steps (opens in a new tab)). Maytag’s commercial-grade residential laundry pair carries 5 years of parts and labor, but only in single-family, non-commercial use.
Whirlpool Corporation completed its acquisition of Maytag in March 2006 (Whirlpool’s announcement (opens in a new tab)). Since then many Maytag appliances have shared platforms, parts and error-code formats with Whirlpool, which is why a Maytag dishwasher’s F9 E1 means the same long drain as a Whirlpool’s. Our Whirlpool repair page covers that side of the family.
Maytag still uses some display wording of its own, such as LF and Sud on top-load washers, the Check Vent light on dryers, blinking Clean and Sani lights on dishwashers and PO on refrigerators. Our code guides follow Maytag’s own help articles and link to them, and Maytag’s manuals library (opens in a new tab) has the full list for your model.
Washers, dryers, refrigerators, ice makers, dishwashers, ranges, wall ovens, cooktops and microwaves, including Bravos and Bravos XL, Centennial, Pet Pro and commercial-grade residential laundry.
In the first year, call Maytag, because Maytag covers all parts and labor that year. After that, Maytag’s 10-year coverage is limited to certain parts, and labor is billed either way, so many owners choose a local technician for speed and a single price. If we find that a Maytag-covered part has failed, we tell you so you can claim it.
It is a limited parts warranty on major appliances made after 2017. Maytag lists the compressor on refrigerators; the stainless tub, nylon racks and chopper on dishwashers; the drive motor and wash basket on washers; the drive motor and drum on dryers; burners, elements, the ceramic top, grates and cavity on cooking appliances; and the magnetron and cavity on microwaves. See Maytag’s warranty page (opens in a new tab).
No. ALAS is an independent repair company with no affiliation to Maytag or Whirlpool Corporation. We repair Maytag appliances out of warranty, or when owners prefer a local technician, and back the work with our own written warranty.
Whirlpool Corporation completed its acquisition of Maytag in March 2006, and Maytag has been a Whirlpool brand since. Many Maytag and Whirlpool appliances share platforms, parts and error codes (Whirlpool announcement (opens in a new tab)). See also our Whirlpool repair page.
Maytag says the lid hasn’t locked. Check for clothing under the lid, clean the striker and hold Start for up to 3 seconds. Our lid lock guide has the rest.
On electric dryers, check both breakers first; Maytag’s L2 code means low line voltage. On gas dryers, make sure the gas valve is open. After that it is usually an element, igniter or thermal fuse. See Maytag dryer repair.
Count the first group of flashes for the F number and the second group for the E number. Seven flashes, a pause and one flash is F7 E1. See our blink code guide.
Inside the lid or behind the control panel on a top-load washer, behind the door or on the back of a dryer, on the upper left of the tub frame on a dishwasher, inside the fresh-food section of a refrigerator, and inside the door frame of a wall oven. Maytag’s model and serial guide (opens in a new tab) shows each spot.
It depends on the part and the labor, so we diagnose first and give you a written price before any repair. The diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair if you go ahead; if you don’t, the diagnostic fee is all you pay. Call (469) 638-3215 for the current fee.
Many are. Bravos XL washers and older Maytag dryers are mechanically simple, and their common failures are single parts. We give you an honest repair-or-replace view when the quote climbs past half the price of a new appliance.
Our repairs carry 90 days for non-members and 6 months for ALAS members. Sealed-system work, such as compressor and refrigerant repairs, carries 12 months for everyone. The terms are written on your invoice.
