Our Verdict

Whirlpool WRT311FZDW

Maytag MRT311FFFE

The Whirlpool WRT311FZDW and the Maytag MRT311FFFE are effectively the same fridge, so if you're interested in either, buy the unit that's cheaper. There are a few minor differences: the Maytag's in-fridge deli-shelf extends the whole width of the cabinet, giving more room for smaller containers, and its freezer shelf is made of glass instead of coated wire, but these differences don't really justify any sort of major price difference.
