| Washer/dryer drive motor & wash basket/drum | 10 years | Parts only | 10-yr parts, labor NOT included (post-2017). |

How to file a Maytag warranty claim
Find your proof of purchase
Locate the receipt, order confirmation, or card statement showing the purchase date — coverage is measured from it.
Locate the model & serial number
Usually on a label on the unit, in the manual, or in your online account. Maytag support will ask for it first.
Contact Maytag through an official channel
Use the support number or claim form on their official site — not third-party sellers — so your claim is on record with the manufacturer.
Document everything
Save case numbers, names, dates, and photos of the defect. A clear paper trail resolves disputes faster.
Escalate if needed
If a valid claim stalls, ask for a supervisor and reference your statutory rights as a consumer (see our warranty types guide).

Repair or replace your Maytag? A quick rule of thumb
The common guidance: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new unit, or the unit is past ~75% of its expected lifespan, replacement usually wins. For major sealed-system or compressor failures out of warranty, repairs can run $400–$1,000+, which often tips toward replacing — but always get a diagnosis first.
