Although the Whirlpool Corporation acquired the Maytag Corporation in April of 2006 after 112 years in business, there are still appliances being manufactured by Whirlpool under the Maytag name including refrigerators. Even though Maytag was most know for their washers and dryers which were first sold in 1907, they started selling refrigerators in 1946. There are currently 33 models of refrigerators carrying the Maytag name which include 9 french door style with double doors and the freezer on the bottom, 10 side by side models, 2 models with the freezer on the top, and 11 freezer on the bottom models ranging in price from $850 to $2,900.

One of the most recognizable TV commercial icons was the Maytag repairman played by Jesse White from 1967 to 1989 when Gordon Jump of WKRP fame took over. Gordon was the TV Maytag repairman until 2003 and was succeeded by Hardy Rawls until 2007 when Clay Earl Jackson took over the role and is still playing the part today.

There are 4 Maytag replacement refrigerator water filters available to work with all Maytag refrigerators with ice and water dispensers.
