Maytag range hoods clear smoke, steam, and grease from the kitchen with practical, durable hardware. Built on the shared Whirlpool platform under the UXT prefix, they emphasize real airflow and easy-clean filters over gimmicks. This guide covers the lineup, the features that matter, and the symptoms our independent technicians diagnose — these hoods carry no error codes.
Maytag range hoods in the current lineup
Under-cabinet models anchor the line, including UXT5236BDS (36-inch, 350 CFM), UXT5230BDS (30-inch, 350 CFM), UXT5430ADS (30-inch, 400 CFM), UXT5230ADS (250 CFM), the ADA-friendly UXT4030ADS, and the value UXT2030ADB (190 CFM). Finishes cover stainless, black, and white. Wall and other configurations appear as stock allows.
Features worth knowing
CFM ratings from 190 to 400 let you match the hood to your cooktop’s output, and two- or three-speed controls dial in the airflow. Dishwasher-safe aluminum mesh grease filters make cleaning simple, the FIT system eases installation, and convertible ducting lets a hood vent outside or recirculate through a charcoal filter where outside venting is not possible. ADA-compliant variants are available.
Common Maytag range hood problems
Owners describe a fan that will not run while the light still works, a light that is out, a hood that is completely dead, a motor that hums but will not spin, weak suction, rattling at speed, or a hood that will not turn off. The causes are the fan switch or motor, the light circuit, the harness, a clogged grease filter, or a blower wheel loaded with grease.
Repair, parts, and next steps
For diagnosis and pricing, see our Maytag range hood repair service, browse the models directory, or read our care guides. Repairs use genuine OEM parts with a 30-day labor warranty, priced from a diagnostic fee. Confirm specs at maytag.com and check your area on the service areas page for independent Maytag range hood service nationwide.
Maytag range hood maintenance and care
Wash the aluminum mesh grease filters every few weeks, replace recirculating charcoal filters on schedule, wipe grease off the blower wheel so the fan stays balanced, confirm the exterior damper opens freely on ducted installs, and replace failed lights promptly. A few minutes of routine care each season prevents the majority of the faults that bring a range hood in for service, and it keeps the features you paid for performing the way Maytag designed them.
Repair or replace your Maytag range hood?
Range hoods are affordable appliances, so switch, bulb, capacitor, and blower-wheel repairs are nearly always worth it. Replacement makes sense only when the motor and control both fail on an older basic hood. Whichever way the math points, we give you an honest read before any work begins, with pricing that starts from a diagnostic fee and depends on the real fault — never a flat, sight-unseen number. We fit only genuine OEM parts sized to your exact model and back every repair with a 30-day labor warranty.
What our technicians check first
When you book service for a Maytag range hood, an experienced technician confirms the symptom, reads any code or indicator, and tests power and connections before the specific part the evidence points to — so you never pay for a part that was not the problem. Because we are independent rather than tied to a single supplier, our only goal is the correct, lasting fix at a fair price. We carry the genuine OEM parts most commonly needed for a range hood, which means many repairs are completed on the first visit rather than after a wait for parts. We also explain what we found in plain language, show you the worn or failed component, and tell you honestly whether the repair makes sense for the age and condition of your unit. You can book range hood repair any day of the week, or browse more help in our guides and look up your unit in the models directory.
