Product review (1 stars): DO NOT BUY THIS FRIDGE
I bought this refrigerator from Home Depot in July of 2012. In June of 2013 it stopped cooling. I called the repair people and the service technician told me there is a design flaw in all bottom freezer refrigerators. The refrigerant line corrodes because it's exposed to too much moisture and the freon leaks out. Anyhow, they have to replace the condenser, evaporator and refrigerant line. My refrigerator is still under warranty. WITHOUT the warranty, the repair would have cost $800! I asked him how likely it is that this will happen again, and he said he couldn't tell me. All I can do is buy an $80 warranty and hope it doesn't happen for a while. Unfortunately, since the design of the refrigerator is bad, I think it's more likely that this will happen again relatively soon.

Here's the worst part. I haven't had a refrigerator since mid-June. I couldn't get a repair visit until July 1st. The first available appointment to replace the parts was July 15th. I called to confirm the appointment and found out the parts are on back order. (When did they plan on telling me this?) They have no time estimate on when parts will be available. So I'm supposed to go without a refrigerator until who-knows-when, pay them more money for a warranty, and keep my fingers crossed that this isn't an annual event.

If you google Maytag bottom freezer repair, you will find hundreds of people with the same problem. And those are just the ones who took the trouble to write an internet review.
