Maytag’s Mid-Life Appliance Crisis: What Fails in Years 3-5?

Common Failures in Years 3-5

Washing Machine Transmission Breakdowns

Models such as the Maytag MVWB765FW and MVWC565FW often experience transmission breakdowns in the third to fifth year of use. Symptoms include loud noises during spin cycles and the washer not spinning or agitating properly. The cost to repair or replace the transmission can range from $300 to $600.

Dryer Belt Issues

Maytag dryers, including models like the MEDB835DW and MEDC465HW, commonly face belt issues after a few years of use. A broken or worn-out belt can cause the dryer drum to stop turning, resulting in clothes not drying properly. Repair costs for dryer belt replacement typically range from $150 to $250.

Refrigerator Control Board Failures

The Maytag MFI2570FEZ and MSS25C4MGZ refrigerator models are known to encounter control board failures around the 3-5 year mark. These failures can lead to cooling issues, unresponsive touch panels, and erratic temperature control. Repair costs for control board replacement can range from $200 to $400.
