Maytag Parts Covered for 10 Years, by Appliance
Maytag applies this warranty to all major kitchen and laundry appliances made after 2017. Year one covers all parts and labor. After that, only the key parts below are covered, for the full ten years. This is the list on Maytag's warranty page; your model's own warranty document is the final word.
- Washers and dryers
- Drive motor, wash basket, dryer drum
- Dishwashers
- Stainless steel tub, nylon racks, chopper
- Cooktops, ranges and wall ovens
- Cooktop burners and elements, ceramic top and grates, bake and broil elements and burners, cavity
- Refrigerators
- Compressor
- Microwaves
- Magnetron, cavity
- Compactors
- Motor, ram, screws
What "Limited Parts" Leaves on Your Bill After Year One
Read the Maytag promise closely and the pattern is clear: the first year is parts and labor, and years two through ten are parts only, for the listed components. A control board, a drain pump, a door switch, a water valve or a belt is not on the list. Neither is the technician's time to fit a covered part, nor the trip charge.
Take a Maytag refrigerator built in 2021 whose compressor fails in 2026. The compressor is on the list, so the part itself should be covered, but labor, refrigerant and sealed-system work are billed to you. The LG compressor warranty math shows how big that labor share runs on HomeGuide's national numbers. Ask Maytag what the labor and trip will cost before you say yes, and make sure it really is the compressor: the refrigerator repair guide lists the cheaper parts that leave a cabinet just as warm.
Now a Maytag range whose bake element burns out in year four. The element is covered, but HomeGuide puts the part at $15 to $100 inside a $150 to $450 installed repair. The warranty saves you the cheap piece. On a job like that, a local repair visit may cost about the same.
The date that counts is the build date on the label. A unit built late in 2017 and sold in 2018 falls outside the after-2017 coverage. The model and serial label settles that; Maytag's Owner Center is where you register the appliance.
What Those Covered Parts Cost When Nothing Pays
HomeGuide's national typical ranges, parts and labor unless noted. Houston repair companies set their own prices; use these to see how much a covered part is worth to you and to test a quote on an older Maytag.
| Repair | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator compressor | $700 to $1,250 | Covered part on post-2017 models; labor is yours after year one |
| Washer motor | $300 to $700 | The drive motor is on the covered list |
| Washer outer tub and bearings | $600 to $800+ | Bearings alone $100 to $250; ask whether the basket is involved |
| Dryer drum | $200 to $500 | Covered part |
| Oven bake or broil element | $150 to $450 | Part alone $15 to $100 |
| Microwave magnetron | $100 to $300 | Covered part |
| Service call with diagnosis | $70 to $130 | Not a warranty part; labor runs $50 to $125 an hour |
Whether an out-of-warranty repair is worth doing at all is the subject of the repair or replace guide.

Two Maytag Laundry Pairs With Five Years of Labor
Maytag adds labor coverage to two specific laundry pairs, so check the model number before assuming labor is yours. The top-load washer MVW6230RH with its matching dryer, MED6230RH electric or MGD6230RH gas, gets labor covered for the first five years on top of the ten years of limited parts.
The commercial-grade in-home pair, washer MVWP586GW with dryer MEDP586KW or MGDP586KW, goes further: all parts and labor for five years, then limited parts on the drive motor, stainless steel wash basket and dryer drum for five more. Maytag notes these terms apply when the machines are used only in a single-family home for non-commercial purposes, which matters if the pair sits in a rental's shared laundry room.
Where the Maytag Model and Serial Label Hides
Photograph the label before you call anyone. Maytag's product help lists these spots:
- Top-load washer: under the lid, on the tub rim.
- Front-load washer: inside the door, on the rim of the opening.
- Dryer: inside the door, on the rim of the opening.
- Top-freezer and bottom-freezer refrigerator: inside the fresh-food compartment, left side. Side-by-side: right side.
- Dishwasher: on the left side of the tub frame, visible with the door open.
- Range: on the oven frame or the storage drawer frame.
- Built-in microwave: under the control panel, along the vent on the right.
Maytag Service or a Local Repair Visit?
Maytag's own repair booking at service.maytag.com runs through W Service, Whirlpool's network of appliance technicians. Registering the appliance, adding a plan and scheduling service all start from Maytag's Owner Center.
Start with Maytag when
- The appliance is in its first year, when parts and labor are both covered.
- A listed part has failed on a model built after 2017: compressor, drive motor, basket, drum, tub, magnetron or the like.
- You own one of the two laundry pairs with five years of labor.
- You want Maytag's price for labor on a covered part before comparing it with anyone else's.
A local repair visit makes sense when
- The failed part is off the list: control board, pump, valve, switch, belt, igniter.
- The appliance was built in 2017 or earlier and year one is long gone.
- The covered part is cheap and labor is most of the bill anyway.
- You need someone soon; ask about same-day availability, which depends on the repair company’s schedule.
Maytag Washer and Dryer Codes Follow Whirlpool’s
Because Maytag belongs to Whirlpool Corporation, Maytag's top-load washer code page matches Whirlpool's high-efficiency top-load list. LF is a slow fill, so both faucets need to be open. drn is a drain problem that often traces to how the hose sits in the standpipe. LdL and LdU mean the lid lock won't engage or won't release, and HC says the hot and cold hoses are swapped. Maytag front-loaders may show Whirlpool-style paired codes such as F8 E1 or F9 E1; check your manual.
None of those codes names a covered part by itself. A drain or fill code usually traces to a hose, a filter or a pump, which puts it on the local-repair side of the comparison above. The Whirlpool repair page goes further into the shared parts, and the error code library lists the full sets. For the parts themselves, the washer repair guide covers drive motors and bearings. The dryer repair guide deals with heating elements, thermal fuses and belts, none of which is on Maytag's list.
Maytag Warranty and Repair Questions
Does the Maytag 10-year warranty pay for labor?
Only in the first year, plus the two laundry pairs Maytag sells with five years of labor. For everything else, years two through ten cover the listed part, not the technician's time or the trip. That's why a compressor claim on a post-2017 Maytag fridge can still cost real money: ask Maytag for the labor charge before approving the work.
I bought my Maytag in 2018. Is it covered for ten years?
Possibly. Maytag ties the 10-year parts terms to appliances made after 2017, so the build date on the label decides it. A 2018 purchase could be a late-2017 build. Give Maytag the model and serial number and ask it to confirm the manufacture date and warranty status.
Is a leaking Maytag dishwasher tub covered?
The stainless steel tub is on Maytag's 10-year list for dishwashers, along with the nylon racks and the chopper, on models made after 2017. Water on the floor can just as easily come from a door gasket, a hose, a pump seal or the inlet valve, none of which is on the list. Have the leak traced first, because only a tub failure falls under the long coverage.
Is Maytag made by Whirlpool?
Maytag is a Whirlpool Corporation brand, listed with KitchenAid, JennAir and Amana among the company's brands. In practice that means Maytag washers share Whirlpool's error code sets, and Maytag warranty service is booked through Whirlpool's W Service network. Warranty terms still differ by brand: Whirlpool's own standard warranty typically lasts one year, with no ten-year parts list.
Should I pay a local company to replace a covered Maytag part?
Call Maytag first and ask how it supplies a covered part and what labor it charges, since the warranty may require its own service. If Maytag's route is slow or the labor quote is high, compare it with a local repair company's price for the same job, knowing you'd likely be paying for the part as well.
