How do I find my Maytag fridge model number?
On your Maytag MZD2752GRW side-by-side refrigerator, we find the model number and serial number on the data plate at the top of the fresh food compartment. Use those exact numbers when ordering parts or checking specifications in the MZD2752GRW owner's manual and when searching on Sears PartsDirect.
Where to look on the refrigerator
Check these common spots first (in order):
- Top of the fresh food compartment on the data plate (inside the refrigerator section)
- Along the inside wall near the top front edge of the refrigerator compartment
- On the ceiling area inside the fresh food compartment, near the temperature controls
- If you still do not see it, remove items from the top shelf and look up and along the upper liner
What to write down (and why)
Record the information exactly as it appears on the data plate:
- Model number (example format: MZD2752GRW)
- Serial number (unique to your unit)
- Revision number (if listed)
- Date of purchase (helpful for your records)
Quick guide: model vs. serial
| Item | What it identifies | When we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | The design and parts fit | Ordering the correct Maytag refrigerator parts, filters, shelves, bins |
| Serial number | Your specific unit | Service history, production details, matching certain updates |
Why it matters
Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong Maytag refrigerator parts that look similar but mount differently (common with water filters, door bins, ice maker parts, and control components).

What are the dimensions of a Maytag refrigerator?
Maytag refrigerator dimensions vary by model and style; for the Maytag MZD2752GRW side-by-side, the exact height, width, and depth are listed in the product specifications section of the MZD2752GRW owner's manual. As a practical planning range, most full-size Maytag refrigerators measure about 62 to 72 inches tall, 29 to 36 inches deep, and 30 to 36 inches wide.
How to measure your refrigerator correctly
Use a tape measure and record all three dimensions; then compare them to your cabinet opening.
- Height: floor to top of hinge cover (or top of cabinet)
- Width: widest point across the doors
- Depth: front of doors to back of cabinet (measure with and without handles)
- Add space for door swing and airflow clearance
- If the unit is not level, adjust the front leveling feet so measurements match real-world fit
Typical size ranges by common refrigerator type
These ranges help when you are planning cabinetry, moving the unit, or checking delivery fit.
| Refrigerator type | Typical width | Typical height | Typical depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side-by-side (like MZD2752GRW) | 32 to 36 in. | 65 to 71 in. | 30 to 34 in. |
| Top freezer | 28 to 33 in. | 61 to 69 in. | 28 to 34 in. |
| French door | 33 to 36 in. | 68 to 71 in. | 29 to 36 in. |
Why it matters
Correct dimensions prevent installation surprises such as doors that cannot open fully, poor ventilation that hurts cooling performance, and fit issues caused by handles, hinges, or an uneven floor.
Related maintenance that affects fit and performance
If you are planning a move or reinstall, we recommend handling these items at the same time:
- Replace the water filter on schedule to protect water flow and ice production
- Purge air from the water line after reconnecting supply tubing
- Check door sealing and alignment after the refrigerator is back in place

What is the average lifespan of a Maytag refrigerator?
Most Maytag refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life. For your Maytag MZD2752GRW side-by-side refrigerator, consistent maintenance (cleaning, correct temperature settings, and good airflow) is what most directly determines whether you land closer to 10 years or push beyond 15.
Typical lifespan and what affects it most
A refrigerator’s life is usually limited by wear on the sealed cooling system, fans, and door sealing surfaces. These factors have the biggest impact:
- Condenser cleanliness and airflow (dust buildup makes the compressor work harder)
- Stable temperatures (avoiding frequent warm-ups and overloading)
- Door gasket condition (air leaks cause long run times and frost)
- Ice maker and water system upkeep (clogs and leaks create secondary damage)
- Fast response to small symptoms (noise, warming, frost, puddles)
Maintenance schedule we recommend
Use this as a simple baseline for most side-by-side refrigerators like the MZD2752GRW:
| Task | How often | Why it helps lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Check temperature settings | Monthly | Prevents overworking the compressor |
| Clean door gaskets | Every 1 to 3 months | Reduces air leaks and frost |
| Replace water filter (if equipped) | About every 6 months | Protects water flow and valve operation |
| Vacuum/clean condenser area | Every 6 to 12 months | Improves cooling efficiency |
For model-specific care and cleaning guidance, use the MZD2752GRW owner's manual.
Why it matters
A refrigerator that runs longer and harder than necessary (from dirty coils, warm settings, or leaky doors) puts extra stress on the compressor and fans. That extra runtime is the most common reason a unit reaches end-of-life closer to 10 years instead of 15.
Helpful DIY guidance for common life-shorteners
If your unit has a water dispenser or ice maker, filter and water-system maintenance is one of the easiest ways to prevent nuisance failures:
- Follow how to replace the water filter in a Maytag refrigerator to keep flow strong and reduce strain on the inlet valve.
If you need to look up replacement parts by model number, we recommend starting with the parts list for MZD2752GRW and using Sears PartsDirect for broader model-based searching.

How to reset a Maytag refrigerator not cooling?
For a Maytag MZD2752GRW side-by-side refrigerator that is not cooling, we reset it by power-cycling the unit, then setting the Dual Cool controls to normal (not OFF). After power is restored, give it 8 to 12 hours for initial pull-down and 24 hours to fully stabilize.
Reset steps (safe power cycle)
- Unplug the refrigerator or switch the circuit breaker OFF.
- Leave power off for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Restore power.
- Set refrigerator and freezer controls to a normal starting point (typically 5 on both; 1 is warmest and 9 is coldest).
- Keep doors closed as much as possible while temperatures recover.
- Recheck after 24 hours; adjust only one number at a time.
Make sure the controls are not set to OFF
On MZD2752GRW, the controls are at the top front of the fresh food compartment. Setting the freezer control to OFF stops cooling in both compartments (it does not shut off electrical power).
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer control on OFF | Cooling disabled | Move it to a numbered setting |
| Settings 1 to 3 | Too warm | Increase 1 step, wait 24 hours |
| Both on 5 | Normal start | Wait 8 to 12 hours |
If it still is not cooling
- Confirm interior vents are not blocked by food.
- Listen for the evaporator fan and check airflow; use how to fix your evaporator cooling fan.
- Check door gaskets for gaps that leak warm air.
Why it matters
A reset fixes control or power glitches; correct settings and waiting a full 24 hours prevents over-adjusting and helps confirm whether you have a true cooling system problem.
For model-specific control details, use the MZD2752GRW owner's manual. For parts lookup by model number, search Sears PartsDirect.
