Maytag Washer Lines We Service
Maytag has sold several washer families over the years. Each has its own common repairs.
Bravos, Centennial, and MVW Top Loaders
These top loaders often need a shift actuator, a lid lock, or suspension rods. When a washer agitates but will not spin, the actuator is a common cause. See our transmission repair page.
Maxima and MHW Front Loaders
Front loaders bring door locks, drain pump filters, and door seal care into play. Bearing wear shows up as a roar on the spin. Our drum bearing repair page explains it.
Commercial Technology and Pet Pro Models
Newer Maytag lines add heavier-duty parts, and Pet Pro models add a filter for pet hair. They still use the same code system, so diagnosis follows the same steps.
Who Makes Maytag Washers?
Whirlpool Corporation completed its purchase of Maytag in April 2006. Since then, Maytag washers have been Whirlpool designs sold under the Maytag name. Many parts are shared with Whirlpool models, which keeps them easy to find. Our Whirlpool washer repair page covers the sister brand.
Is My Maytag Still Under Warranty?
Many recent Maytag washers carry one year of parts and labor. Some models add a ten-year limited warranty on certain parts, such as the drive motor and wash basket, but labor is not included after the first year. Check your warranty card first. If you are covered, an authorized Maytag provider should do the repair.
Out of warranty? That is where we come in.
Where Do I Find My Maytag Model Number?
Having the model number ready speeds up the repair, because we can check parts before we arrive.
- Top loaders: on a label under the lid, or on the back of the control panel
- Front loaders: on a label around the door opening
- Model numbers often start with MVW for top loaders and MHW for front loaders
Text us a photo of the label when you book.

How Much Does Maytag Washer Repair Cost in Albany?
Most Maytag washer repairs in Albany run $100 to $450, depending on the part.
Lid locks and inlet valves sit at the low end. Control boards and bearings cost more. The table above shows typical ranges by problem.
Is It Worth Repairing a Maytag Washer?
Usually, yes. Maytag parts are widely available, and most repairs cost far less than a new washer. A common guide is the 50 percent rule. If a repair costs more than half the price of a new washer, replacement often makes more sense.
Our estimate is always free.

Common Maytag Repairs We See in Albany Homes
These are typical scenarios, based on how Maytag calls usually play out in local homes.
Pine Hills Rental: Bravos Won’t Spin
A Maytag Bravos agitates, clicks, and stops at the spin. The shift actuator cannot change modes. A new actuator gets it spinning again.
Washington Park Home: F5E2 on Every Load
A Maytag top loader shows F5E2 before each wash. Softener buildup is jamming the lid lock. The lock is cleaned, then replaced when testing shows wear.
Delaware Avenue Home: Maxima Won’t Drain
A Maytag Maxima stops with F9E1 and a full drum. A sock is packed in the pump filter. Clearing it fixes the drain with no new part.
What Albany Customers Say
“Fast and honest service”
Our washer suddenly stopped starting, and we were worried it would need an expensive control board. The technician checked the outlet and door lock first and found the actual problem quickly. The repair was completed the same day, and the price was exactly what we were quoted.

“Fixed our washer on the first visit”
Our washer had power but would not start. The technician explained what he was testing and found a faulty lid switch. He had the part with him and fixed it during the appointment. Very professional and easy to work with.
Jennifer M., Pine Hills, Albany, NY
“Great experience from start to finish”
We called about a washer that would not start in our Albany apartment. They gave us a clear arrival window and kept us updated before arriving. The technician diagnosed the problem, gave us the price before doing the repair, and tested the washer before leaving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Maytag made by Whirlpool?
Yes. Whirlpool Corporation bought Maytag in 2006, and Maytag washers are now Whirlpool designs that share many parts.

On top loaders, a failed shift actuator or lid lock is the usual cause. A drain problem can also stop the spin.
How long do Maytag washers last?
Many run well past ten years with normal care and timely repairs.
