Maytag Connected Laundry Appliances

Maytag Connected Laundry Appliances

 

Manage Laundry From Anywhere

Stay in control with optional smart features. Use the Maytag™ app to remotely start or stop a cycle, get helpful notifications and troubleshoot select issues.

I was responsible for designing the user interface on the Whirlpool app that safely controls the oven, creating interactive prototypes, ensuring the experience was consistent across other Whirlpool connected products, overseeing and approving international software development of UI/UX visuals, ensuring the technical and interactive solution supported the experience requirements, and providing design recommendations based on experience audit results. Available to purchase on the market at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Bekkins, and Menard’s.

To acknowledge and celebrate the cross-functional teams that I worked with: controlling the range operates within the Whirlpool app and was completed in wonderful collaboration with the incredibly hard work and passion of hundreds of engineers, developers, and teams of designers of every concentration. My everyday work with this project couldn't have been done without the knowledge transfers of the on-appliance designers Megan Clayton and her team, members of my team Melanie Riley, Kevin Maenle, Brennan Martin, Shantanu Dhond and his team in Pune, India, and my hilarious manager, Richard Hughes. 

Start or stop your appliance remotely and get cycle notifications.

Works with Nest, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home

Integrating your Nest Learning Thermostat™ with the Whirlpool® mobile app takes advantage of intuitive features that can increase efficiencies and help you save energy. Be alerted when your oven is left on and you're not home so you can remotely turn it off. Nest can automatically tell your dishwasher to start when you’ve left, while your washer keeps your clothes fresh until you return. When you’re home, your washer, dryer and dishwasher can all run in Quiet Mode so you’re not bothered by noise. And all appliances including your refrigerator, can shift energy use to less expensive times. Functionality varies by appliance.
