Maytag work for us is mainly washers and dryers. These are real Maytag visits from our files, including five where the $85 diagnostic was all the owner paid.
Open 7 days a week
Across our job records, 83% of Maytag jobs involve a washer or a dryer. Washers alone are about half of our Maytag work and dryers a little over a third. Refrigerators make up roughly 36% of our jobs on other brands but only 7% of the Maytag calls.
So this page starts in the laundry room. Every visit below comes from a technician’s notes, most with the job photos, in the city where it happened, with what the owner paid. The range and refrigerator rating labels shown further down both read Newton, Iowa.
The booking said only “Dryer maytag,” so we don’t have the owner’s own description of what it was doing. Our technician’s notes record that the gas valve coils were replaced, with a 279834 coil kit. Two of the job photos show the burner working: first the igniter glowing in the burner tube, then the burner lit with a blue flame.
With the front panel off, the floor of the cabinet was grey with lint around the blower housing, the motor and the burner. The same visit included a deep cleaning of the cabinet. The bill for both came to about $410.





“A good job done well and without him having to go somewhere to get the parts.”

This one was booked as a washer, but the machine was a coin-operated Maytag Commercial gas dryer. The customer had already bought a new drum baffle, the ribbed lifter inside the drum, and wanted it put in. We installed it.
With the dryer open, our technician wrote down three more things: the inside was dirty, with the blower housing inlet packed with lint; the drive belt was in very poor condition; and another baffle was held by only one screw and could come loose. The customer chose to do just the baffle that day, so we did not replace the belt or clean the dryer. The bill was about $195.
We do take coin-operated and other commercial laundry machines. Restaurant cooking lines and other commercial kitchen gear are outside what we repair.



The owner’s booking said that when the washer was off, some motor was still running. Our technician found the drain motor (the pump) running and put it down to the control board not signalling the motor to stop.
We quoted a new control board with parts and labor at about $495. The quote was not approved, so nothing was replaced and the owner paid only the $85 diagnostic.


“Was able to get an appt quickly; arrived on time and immediately knew what the problem was with my washer; ordered the part and came out the next day to fix it. Great customer service and reasonable pricing. Would definitely use them again if the need arises.”

The owner booked two Maytags at once. The oven on their double-oven gas range wasn’t igniting even though gas was coming out, and the dishwasher wouldn’t start.
On the range, the repair was a new igniter switch and harness. The dishwasher got a diagnosis and a full maintenance check to find what was stopping it from starting; the notes don’t name a part, so we won’t either. Both appliances together came to about $735.



The booking said “Maytag oven gas.” Our technician traced the problem to the oven’s electronic control board, which needed replacing. The replacement board is no longer available, so there was nothing to install; the owner paid the $85 diagnostic and no more.
If your Maytag oven is an older model, text us a photo of its model label before you book.



All the booking gave us was “Refrigerator Maytag.” Our technician tried replacing the compressor relay first. The compressor still would not start: it had failed. Nothing was repaired, and the bill stayed at the $85 diagnostic.


That’s the median of our Maytag repair bills, counting only jobs that went past the diagnostic. The middle half ran about $290 to $400. Across all other brands the median is about $375.
| Median repair bill | Maytag | Other brands |
|---|---|---|
| Washers | $360 | $365 |
| Dryers | $320 | $330 |
| All appliances | $350 | $375 |
The lower overall figure is mostly the appliance mix, not the brand. Compare washer with washer and dryer with dryer and the difference almost disappears. We only show medians for appliances where we have enough Maytag repairs for the number to mean something, so refrigerators, ranges and dishwashers aren’t listed.
Five of the nine visits on this page went no further than the $85 diagnostic: a part that’s no longer available, a failed compressor, a quote the owner didn’t take, a fridge with nothing wrong and a range with no power. When we go ahead with a repair, the $85 counts toward the bill.
Call or book with the symptom. The model number off the label helps too. If the repair isn’t worth doing, or there’s nothing to fix, we’ll tell you, as we did on the visits above.
