IS IT TIME FOR AN UPGRADE?
Discover factors to consider when deciding to repair and the benefits that may justify an upgrade.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS
We understand experiencing issues with your appliance can be frustrating. When your appliance starts to become troublesome, it’s time to ask, "Do I repair my appliance or invest in a new replacement?"
Maytag is here to help you make that decision.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER
REPAIR
Some repairs are minimal, others can be more costly depending on what requires maintenance.
- ASSESS THE ISSUE Research what could be causing your problem. Quick fixes like unclogging your dishwasher or venting your dryer can resolve minor issues. Visit our troubleshooting guides to find answers to frequently asked questions.
- APPLIANCE LIFESPAN How long have you had your appliance? The average useful life for appliances range from 10.6 - 11.5 years1. If you still have several years left of use, it could be more cost-effective to repair.
WARRANTY DETAILS Read your appliance’s warranty to verify coverage. Maytag appliances come with a manufacturer's warranty, equipped with the Maytag 10-year Limited Parts warranty which covers replacement of certain components for 10 years. If your appliance is past its warranty, it could be better to replace. Visit maytag.com for warranty details.
PLANS FOR YOUR HOME Are you planning to stay in your home for several years? If updating your home isn’t a priority at the moment, repairing the issue and getting the most out of your appliance may be the way to go.
*Tip: Try to group appliance repairs together, if you can. It may save you money on your total repair cost.
REPLACE & UPGRADE
In many situations, a malfunction signals the natural end-of-life for an appliance.
- APPLIANCE LIFESPAN Have you had your appliance for nearly a decade? If so, your appliance might be approaching the end of its lifespan. Although there is no way to be sure how long any particular appliance will last, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers reports that the average useful life for major home appliances range from 10.6- 11.5 years, depending on appliance type1. If you’re nearing your appliance’s lifespan, it may be better to upgrade.
COSTS When certain components break or major issues occur, an inexpensive repair may not be possible. If a repair adds up to more than half the purchase price of a brand new appliance, it might make more sense to invest in an upgrade. Don't risk sinking more money into an aging device.
PLANS FOR YOUR HOME If you are thinking of selling or renovating soon, a new appliance can bring your home into the present and might even increase its resale value. Shop Maytag washers, refrigerators, and ranges among other appliances for your next upgrade.
