Yeah, we got burned on Maytag in the last Florida house. Bought a range/over and a fridge. The fridge was OK, the dishwasher a POS, but the range/oven, which we still have, has been wonky for a number of years and no one seems to know how to fix it. We know the work-aound, and we like it otherwise, so it’s still serving us.
It’s a range that has a double oven - small one on top, big one below. Th big one is a convection oven. If you turn on the lower (convection) oven and change the temperature setting after it preheats, it goes into “preheat” mode and the temperature falls and never gets to the setpoint. You can turn it off and reset it and it works. There’s a hard reset for the controls that was suggested but it does nothing to resolve the issue. They sent tech out multiple times but absolutely refused to replace the controls under warranty, saying he couldn’t recreate the issue (but he did, twice.) They offered us a $300 credit for a $1200 oven. Nope. I made sure we posted everywhere we could in the way of appliance repair forums about our issue. Of course we heard similar stories. So much for the ”Maytag Man”. -D > On Apr 18, 2022, at 4:31 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > There are also a lot fewer manufacturers than there are brands.
