Maytag Appliance Parts

Maytag built its reputation on durability, and the parts we replace most often for Maytag appliances tend to be the components that wear from heavy use rather than sudden failures — drive belts and motor couplings on washers, igniters and bake elements on ranges and ovens, and control boards across the lineup.

Heavy-Duty and Commercial-Grade Lines

Maytag's commercial-grade and heavy-duty washer lines in particular are common sources of drive system parts, since these machines are often run harder and more frequently than standard residential models. If a Maytag washer is losing power mid-cycle or making a grinding noise, the drive belt or motor coupling is usually the first thing worth checking.

Shared Parts with Whirlpool

Maytag is part of the Whirlpool family of brands, and a meaningful number of parts cross over with Whirlpool, Amana, and KitchenAid — if a part isn't listed for your specific Maytag model, it's worth checking those related brands as well, since the manufacturer part number is sometimes identical.

Long Production Runs

Match parts to your full model number rather than the part number on the failed component; Maytag has kept some model lines in production for many years, with internal parts changing between production runs even when the model number stayed the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My Maytag oven igniter glows but the burner won't light. What's wrong?

A: If the igniter glows but doesn't get hot enough to open the gas valve, it needs replacing even though it appears to be working — a weak igniter is a common, gradual failure rather than a sudden one.

Q: How long do Maytag washer drive belts typically last?

A: It varies heavily with usage, but a squealing or slipping belt — especially one that gets worse as a load spins up to speed — is the clearest sign it needs replacing regardless of age.
