Maytag MSD2573VEB00 refrigerator Parts

For your Maytag refrigerator model MSD2573VEB00, the model and serial number label is located inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on an inside wall. Use that exact model number when ordering parts or looking up troubleshooting steps in the owner's manual.

Check these common label locations inside the refrigerator section:

• Inside wall of the refrigerator compartment (most common)
• Upper side wall near the temperature control housing
• Side wall behind the crisper or meat pan area (you may need to slide drawers out)
• Ceiling area of the fresh food compartment near the light cover

Record the information exactly as printed on the label:

• Model number (example format: MSD2573VEB00)
• Serial number (used to identify production details)
• Brand (Maytag)

The model number ensures you get the correct Maytag side-by-side refrigerator parts (like a water filter, ice maker assembly, or door gasket) that match your exact configuration.

• Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and dry it
• Use your phone camera zoom and good lighting
• Copy letters and numbers carefully; one character off can change the parts list

You can then order parts from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Most Maytag refrigerators, including the Maytag MSD2573VEB00 side-by-side, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal use and basic maintenance. Keeping airflow clear, temperatures stable, and water and ice components maintained helps the sealed system and compressor run longer (see the owner's manual).

A refrigerator’s life is mainly driven by compressor run time, heat removal, and how well doors seal.

• Condenser airflow: Dust and pet hair make the compressor work harder.
• Door sealing: Worn gaskets cause longer run times and temperature swings.
• Defrost performance: Frost buildup reduces airflow and cooling efficiency.
• Water system health: Clogged filters can reduce dispenser and ice maker performance.
• Usage habits: Frequent door openings and overpacking increase load.

These steps are simple and protect expensive components like the compressor and evaporator.

• Vacuum and brush the condenser area and toe-kick regularly.
• Keep freezer and fresh food vents unblocked.
• Set and verify temps: 0°F freezer, 37°F fresh food (typical targets).
• Replace the water filter on schedule; use the correct filter such as refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
• Watch for early symptoms (warm temps, heavy frost, loud fan noise) and correct them quickly.

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more energy and puts extra stress on the compressor. Catching airflow, sealing, defrost, and water-supply problems early is the most reliable way to keep your Maytag MSD2573VEB00 cooling consistently for its full expected lifespan.

Maytag refrigerators, including model MSD2573VEB00, typically do not use one universal reset button. Most “resets” are function-specific (controls, water filter light, ice maker) and are done by power cycling the refrigerator or using the correct control sequence listed in the MSD2573VEB00 owner's manual.

• Control reset (power cycle): Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Water filter status reset: Use the filter reset steps for your exact control style (varies by model).
• Ice maker reset: Turn the ice maker off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on (some versions also reset after power cycling).
• After a new filter: Flush the water system to clear air and carbon fines.

Your manual notes that after a water filter change you should flush the water system (this often resolves weak flow, sputtering, and “new filter” taste). If you are replacing the filter, use the correct cartridge such as the refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

• Dispense and discard several glasses of water until flow is steady
• If water sputters, keep dispensing to purge trapped air
• Dump the first full bin of ice after a filter change
• Recheck for leaks at the filter housing and water line connection

Using the right reset prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps you target the real system involved (controls, water filtration, or ice maker). For example, a “no water” complaint is often a filter or supply issue, not a control problem.

If power cycling and flushing do not help, the issue is usually in a component such as the refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10179146 (water supply to dispenser and ice maker) or the ice maker assembly.

For your Maytag side-by-side refrigerator model MSD2573VEB00, use the exact product dimensions and required clearances listed in the MSD2573VEB00 owner's manual. If you are planning a move or a cabinet opening, measure your unit as-installed because handles, leveling legs, and door swing space change the real footprint.

The most reliable specs for height, width, depth, and installation clearances are in the model documentation.

• Check the product dimensions section (height, width, depth)
• Confirm whether depth is listed with or without handles
• Note any hinge cover or door clearance requirements
• Verify recommended ventilation space (top, sides, rear)
• Compare the manual specs to your actual tape measurements

Measure the refrigerator and the opening; then plan for door swing and airflow.

• Height: floor to highest point (often hinge cover); include leveling legs if extended
• Width: widest point; then re-check with doors and handles
• Depth: back of cabinet to front; then re-check including handles
• Door swing: allow space for doors to open fully and bins to slide out
• Pathway: measure doorways, hallways, and turns for moving the unit

Correct dimensions and clearances prevent doors from hitting walls, drawers from binding, and restricted airflow that can reduce cooling performance.

If you discover broken storage or door fit issues while measuring, these model-matched parts are commonly replaced:

• Refrigerator door bin WPW10321304
• Refrigerator glass shelf WPW10276341
• Refrigerator toe grille WPW10184888
