Purchased Maytag Gas range MGR5765QDO, in Jan at Lowes. After 14 months of ownership, the oven handle snapped off (approx $75 to replace) and then the gas ignitor to oven burned up (cost $200/part and labor). Normal ignitors last approx 5-7 years.in November the gas valve to the oven went out (Service call to determine problem - $60. We didn't replace part because cost of repair is $240-260). I've been without an oven for 13 months.
My point: I spent approx. $600 for a stove, and in 4 years of ownership, I spent nearly $300 to replace the ignitor and ovendoor handle. And the oven still doesn't work! Now, I need to $260 to replace the bake valve.
I contacted Maytag customer service numerous times, but their stance is, "You didn't buy an extended warranty, so there is nothing we can do."
I honestly feel that I bought a lemon product and I am not going to spend more money repairing the oven because I think that it is an essentially inferior product. I question the quality of the parts in Maytag applicances: in my cases, we have had a bad oven door handle, ignitor, and gas valve, etc. These parts should be lasting longer.
I am disappointed with Maytag - I thought they had a good reputation. But the stove I bought was junk.
