Comment:
Three weeks before the warranty expired, the refridgerator began to freeze items. We have not changed thermostat settings since we bought it. It is expected to be repaired under warranty (barely). Not happy that this happened less than a year after purchase. Other than that, we have been happy with it.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Owned this model 4 months and the compressor went out. Unbelievable! Had to wait a week and a half for Maytag to decide whether to replace compressor or to give me a new refrigerator. Lucky I had a second frige while waiting. They gave me a new one and went with the same model and color because there was nothing else out there around the price range. Hope I get more time out of this one.

Comment:
Main complaint is that the compressor died after only 7 years! That is unacceptable!<br /><br />Otherwise, the refrigerator is reasonably good. <br />Slow makeing ice; sometimes there is a sympathetic vibration causing noise.
