In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this Maytag phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.
What are the hours and when should I call?
Maytag operates the call center for this 800-344-1274 phone number Mon-Tue 8am-8pm, Wed-Fri 9am-7pm.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 98 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Maytag call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Maytag phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Maytag staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Maytag is Thursday.The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 200% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 98 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Monday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday.
In summation, the best day to call Maytag is Thursday.This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Maytag staffs the call center well on Thursday.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.
I have a Maytag refrigerator that is a couple of years old and is starting to cool unevenly. Sometimes, I open the fridge and there's ice at the bottom of the bottles that are near the back of it. Other times, I open the fridge and it seems like nothing is cold. This is an issue that needs to be resolved, so I figured I would just call the company and talk to support. Either I needed to get someone out for repair or a part needed to be replaced. Either way, Maytag should help me. I haven't had the fridge long enough to be experiencing these types of issues.
When I called, an automated voice picked up, greeted me, and then immediately launched into a directory list. It said, "Hello, welcome to the Maytag customer experience. For English, please stay on the line. If you are calling about service or product help, press 1. To order parts or for part order status, press 2. For assistance with an appliance order, press 3. To schedule service under an extended warranty or for questions about an extended warranty, press 4. To register a product, press 5. To hear these options again, press 0."
For a second, I paused to think about my options, but then I went with the first option, since I needed help with my product. After pressing that, I had to listen to another speech with the automated voice stating, "Your safety and the safety of our service network is the number one priority. By scheduling service with us today, you are confirming that you have not tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 5 days. If you are calling to schedule a new appointment, press 1. If you are calling about an existing appointment, press 2. For product support, press 3." This time, I knew to choose product support. After pressing 1, I had two more options, "For help with products you have already purchased, press 1. For help with products you have not purchased, but are thinking about purchasing, press 2."
This seemed odd, since there was no reason the company would have my phone number on file, but I entered it anyway. It then made me try again, which was annoying, but after that, it sent me to a hold line. I had to wait about 10 minutes. Finally, I was transferred to a customer representative who gave me an appointment with a repair person to figure out what was going on with my fridge.

For optimal cleaning performance and care of your Maytag washing machine, we recommend using high-quality, HE (high-efficiency) detergents specifically designed for front-loading or top-loading machines. These detergents are formulated to generate fewer suds and provide effective cleaning, while preventing residue buildup in the machine. Maytag recommends detergents that have the HE label as they are designed to work efficiently with our washers, conserving water and energy. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent packaging for proper dosage, as using too much detergent can cause oversudsing and potentially damage the machine. Remember, using the recommended detergent will help keep your Maytag washing machine performing at its best while ensuring the longevity of your clothes.

More Maytag Customer Service Contacts
There are of course other ways to contact Maytag customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
Click "Launch Live Chat" in the middle of the page
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Maytag provides this option.
Use this link to connect with customer service through Facebook
Some customer service teams, like that of Maytag, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
Use this link to find customer service help through their website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Maytag customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
