You may want to resist any temptation to buy a Maytag refrigerator at the present time.
As I understand it, their refrigerators are actually built by Daewoo, and the Daewoo refrigerators (I have yet to see a Daewoo fridge in North America, but have in Europe) are prone to early breakdown.
I've had surprisingly good luck with top-freezer GE units over the years.
I've been told that Frigidaire quality has been slowly getting better since Electrolux took over, but I can't really substantiate that yet.
I purchased a Whirlpool top-freezer unit for my own kitchen and have been largely disappointed (it's loud, and it has a dark side: it mysteriously picks and chooses random food items, i.e. baked goods, vegetables, etc. in the refrigerated section and FREEZES THEM SOLID! Neither I nor anyone else get why it has launched a jihad on onions and Marzipan Torte-and it's hard to discipline the spirit that lurks within...
I like the Sears models a bit better. It seems like Whirlpool gives Sears their happening models. Still, I had to send a Sears bottom-freezer model back a few years ago because the quality was markedly lower than the one I looked at in Sears Brand Central (the doors opened by themselves-another issue of demonic possession, I guess).
I'm very impressed by the new LG and Samsung models I'm seeing, but they are very feature-laden, and in my opinion, over-priced .
Good luck!
