Deciding whether to repair a Maytag washing machine depends on the age of the appliance, the cost of the repair part, and labor fees. If the washer is under 5 to 7 years old and requires a relatively minor component replacement—such as a new drain pump, lid switch, or drive belt—repairing it is usually financially worthwhile. However, if the machine is past its 10-year expected lifespan and faces a catastrophic transmission failure or a burned-out motor costing hundreds of dollars, putting that money toward a new washer is wiser.
