A Bravos washer (MVWB835, MVWX655, MVWB965) banging the cabinet on spin has suspension rods that lost their damping. We replace all four as a kit - they wear together, and changing just the worst one means the next-worst fails within months. About 90 minutes, and the room goes quiet again.
F1 on a Centennial gas dryer (MGDC215, MGDC415) means the control can't read its temperature sensor. Half the time it's the thermistor itself, sometimes the wiring has chafed at the drum bearing, occasionally the board. We measure at the harness with the unit unplugged - the meter tells us which part failed before we order anything.
Maytag fridges (MFI2570, MFF2055) lose ice the same way their Whirlpool cousins do - usually the ejector module, sometimes the water valve. The Whirlpool service module fits directly, and these often wrap up in one visit.
When a Maytag dishwasher (MDB7959, MDB4949) flashes the Clean light and holds water, the chopper assembly has usually eaten something it shouldn't have - a fruit pit, a shard of glass, a stray olive. We pull the lower spray arm and look before quoting anything; clearing the chopper is a far smaller bill than a new pump.
That rhythmic squeal from a Maytag dryer (MEDB835, MGDB835) is the rear drum rollers worn flat. We replace rollers, idler pulley, and belt together - skip one and the noise comes back. An hour of work, and the noise is gone.
F5E2 on a Maytag top-loader means the lid lock isn't latching - the same part as Whirlpool, and usually a 15-minute swap once the assembly is on hand, so it is often a single-visit fix.
Maytag and Whirlpool are the same company on the same platforms, and for repair that is the whole story. A Maytag Bravos washer runs the same suspension rods, the same drive motor, and the same control logic as a Whirlpool Cabrio of its generation, so we diagnose the two interchangeably and reach for parts we already keep for our highest-volume brand. That overlap is why a Maytag call so often finishes on the first visit.
Where Maytag differs inside the family is positioning: the heavy-duty name, a slightly heavier-gauge washer cabinet, and a 10-year limited parts warranty on the Bravos direct-drive motor. That warranty is worth knowing about on a unit 6-9 years old, though the claim goes to Maytag rather than to us: we are an independent shop and not a Maytag service center, so we cannot draw on their coverage for you. Maytag can confirm that coverage from the serial number, and it is worth doing before you pay anyone for the motor.
Because Maytag and Whirlpool ship through the same distribution network, parts are rarely the holdup. The common laundry failures run on components we keep on hand for the Whirlpool platform, so most Maytag repairs finish the same visit; anything that has to be ordered, like an older control board or a Centennial-era gas valve coil, arrives in about 2-4 days at no extra charge for the return trip. For most Maytag faults, repair beats replacement well into the 8-12 year window, especially on the top-load washers, where the platform has barely changed in a decade.
Across San Francisco, the Peninsula and Marin, FixitBay LLC services Maytag washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges and stacked laundry units. Maytag is built to take daily abuse and its parts are common, so we finish most jobs in one trip. You pay an $80 diagnostic that we credit toward the repair, and you approve a written estimate first. FixitBay LLC works under California license BHGS #51001 from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services, and we warranty the work 180 days on parts and labor. Same-day or next-day slots show on the booking calendar.
For most parts, yes. Maytag and Whirlpool belong to the same parent company and share a large part of the service parts catalog, so a Bravos suspension rod kit fits a Whirlpool Cabrio of the same generation, and a drum roller kit crosses between the two dryer platforms without modification. Our technicians diagnose both the same way and carry the shared parts once, not twice, which is one reason a Maytag call often finishes on the first visit. What does not cross is what you would expect: control boards keyed to a specific model, and the Bravos drive motor, which carries its own Maytag warranty. A Maytag washer repair runs from $250 for parts and labor. The written estimate comes first, the $80 diagnostic credits against it, and the work is covered for 180 days.
Not through us. The Bravos series does carry a 10-year limited parts warranty on the direct drive motor, but that claim goes through Maytag: we are an independent shop rather than a Maytag service center, so we cannot draw on their coverage on your behalf. If the motor is what failed and yours is still inside the 10 years, call Maytag first, because that route costs you less than paying us. Maytag holds those records and can confirm your coverage from the serial number, which is worth doing before you approve anything. What the warranty does not cover is everything around the motor: the suspension rods, the lid lock, the drain pump, the control board. Those are the parts that fail on a Bravos, and a Maytag washer repair runs from $250 for parts and labor. Where Maytag still owes you the motor, take it to them; our work is paid work whatever your coverage says. The $80 diagnostic is credited toward whatever work you approve.
A worn suspension rod kit, almost every time. The Bravos top loader hangs its basket on four rods filled with damping fluid, and over 6-8 years that fluid escapes. The basket then rebounds off the cabinet on every spin and the machine walks across the floor. We replace all four rods as a set, never the worst one alone, because a fresh rod working against three tired ones fails again within months. The job sits at the lower end of Maytag washer pricing, which starts from $250. Before quoting we check that the machine is level and the drum is not carrying one soaked bath mat, since both produce the same violence for nothing. Left too long, the vibration works on the basket bearing, which we do not repair, so it is worth catching early.
In Bay Area homes, Maytag washers run 10 to 14 years and gas dryers 12 to 16, with electric dryers landing about the same. Coastal exposure in San Francisco, Pacifica, and Sausalito pulls the lower end of both bands, since salt air reaches the motor and the control board through the cabinet vents. Inland homes in San Rafael, Novato, and down the Peninsula reach the top. The Bravos and Centennial generations built between 2010 and 2018 are still in daily service across the Peninsula, because the platform is mechanically simple and the parts that wear are cheap: suspension rods, a lid lock, a set of drum rollers. Replaced when they begin to complain they cost a fraction of what they cost afterward. A Maytag dryer repair runs from $250 for parts and labor.
It is a drain fault. The most common find, by a wide margin, is something jammed in the chopper assembly under the lower spray arm: a shard of glass, a fruit pit, a fragment of bone. Pull the spray arm and look before you call anyone, because clearing it takes 5 minutes and costs nothing. If the chopper is clear the next suspect is the drain pump itself, and after that the hose where it loops behind a disposal nobody has cleared in years. Do not keep running cycles on a machine that will not drain, since a pump grinding against a foreign object destroys itself quickly. Where a part is needed a Maytag dishwasher repair runs from $250 including parts and labor, and the $80 diagnostic is credited toward it.
Repair, in most cases. Between 8 and 12 years a Maytag washer is worth fixing when the failure is mechanical, meaning a suspension, a lid lock, a drain pump, or a drive motor still inside its 10-year warranty. Our rule of thumb is that the diagnostic plus the repair should stay under $400, and Maytag washer service runs from $250 so most of those faults clear the bar. A new machine costs from $700 before delivery and haul away, which makes a $300 repair on a 9 year old Bravos with several years left in it the straightforward call. The exception is a failed basket bearing. We do not repair those, because the teardown costs more than the washer is worth, and when that is the diagnosis you hear it before any parts are ordered.
Often, because Maytag shares most of its service parts catalog with Whirlpool, and Whirlpool is the brand we stock most deeply. One shelf covers two badges. If the part your Bravos needs is on hand, we fit it the same day you approve the estimate and you are done in one visit. If it is not, we order it, and delivery usually takes 2-4 days. We return and finish the job with no second diagnostic and no charge for the trip. Where Maytag has discontinued a component and offers no equivalent, we tell you upfront and price the alternative in front of you. You approve one written estimate before anything is ordered, and the number does not move after that.
Yes. FixitBay LLC is a Licensed Major Appliance Technician under California License #51001, issued by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services and valid through July 31, 2027. We are independent technicians rather than a manufacturer service center, so we work on your Maytag regardless of its age, its warranty status, or whether a service bulletin covers the fault. Being independent also means a manufacturer warranty is not ours to spend: if the Bravos motor is still covered, that claim goes to Maytag, and we will say so rather than take the job. The license number is printed on your invoice next to the 180-day warranty on parts and labor, and the Bureau publishes a lookup if you want to verify it yourself. We carry insurance.
It depends on the appliance and the part, and the spread is narrower than most people expect. A Maytag washer, dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, range or oven, or stacked laundry center repair runs from $250, parts and labor included. On top of that sits the $80 diagnostic, and the $80 is credited toward the repair once you approve it, so on a job you go ahead with it is not an extra charge. There is no trip fee anywhere we serve. You get a written estimate at the first visit, before any work starts, and the number does not move afterward. Everything we fit carries a 180-day warranty on parts and labor.
Same day when the schedule allows, next day in most other cases. The booking calendar shows you the earliest window we have, and it reflects the capacity we have. Maytag repairs often finish in a single visit, because the parts that fail most often are usually on hand. Anything we have to order usually arrives in 2-4 days, and the return trip is free, with no second diagnostic. We work 7 days a week until 6 pm.
