Repair help for common Maytag refrigerator problems

If your Maytag fridge is warm, leaking or running constantly, the issue may be a failed sensor, control board or defrost component. We’ll help you find the part and the right repair.

Refrigerator isn’t cooling evenly

Inconsistent temperatures between the fridge and freezer may point to a faulty thermistor or diffuser. The thermistor senses internal temperature and communicates with the control board. Use our guide on how to replace a refrigerator thermistor to get the cooling system working correctly.

Control panel is blank or the fridge won’t turn on

If the refrigerator display doesn’t light up or the compressor won’t run, the electronic control board may be damaged. Our step-by-step guide on how to replace the electronic control board in a top-freezer refrigerator walks you through restoring power and control functions.

Fridge is always running or can’t hold temp

Faulty sensors and overworked motors can cause the refrigerator to cycle constantly or never reach the set temperature. Diagnosing refrigerator thermistor problems is a good place to start. You can also check for related error codes that indicate control or defrost issues.

Maytag refrigerator FAQs

Q: How often should I replace my Maytag refrigerator water filter?

A: Replace the water filter every 6 months, or sooner if your water tastes off or the flow slows. Old filters can let contaminants through or clog the system.

Q: Why is water pooling under my refrigerator crisper drawers?

A: This often points to a clogged defrost drain. When the defrost cycle runs, melted ice has nowhere to go and collects inside the compartment.

Q: How do I reset the control panel on my refrigerator?

A: Most models have a reset button or require a combination of key presses. Check your manual or unplug the unit for 5 minutes to force a reset.

Q: Why is my Maytag refrigerator running constantly?

A: It may be working harder due to dirty condenser coils, a broken door gasket, or a faulty defrost system. Check for ice buildup or warm air leaks.

Q: Why does my refrigerator make a loud buzzing or clicking sound?

A: Buzzing can mean the ice maker is trying to fill without water, while clicking often signals compressor relay issues. Check the water supply and inspect the start relay.
