John L. August 10, 2011 for Model Number MSD2756AE Maytag The coils keep freezing causing the unit to loose air flow and melting everything. Fridge was closed for two months while I was away so it wasn't constantly an open and closing issue. I returned to a smelly house of rotting food in the freezer. Why is this happening. Also found that the door ice/ water dispencer would not work. After removing the front plate I fount the front of the plastic was melted on the right hand side in front of the door actuator. What could have cost this to go and is it worth investing in to replace? Or should I get a new fridge? Thank you
1 Answer Hi John. The fountain control button that calls for ice had the chute solenoid to open. A very common failure that the chute solenoid stuck open physically and overheated. This melted the inner control mount bracket. This part # is WP61003407. The ice door kit is part # 12001991. If the chute was open , it will cause A no- cool. Is the back wall of t6he freezer full of frost build up? If so this will cause a no- cool. The defrost thermostat is part # WP61006199. The defrost electronic timer is part # 61005988. Thank you.

Pat July 10, 2011 for Model Number MZD2766GEW The worst measurement for my Defrost Heater Assembly is 21 ohms. Is that within the tolerances?
1 Answer Pat, You're on the low side of what I'd expect to see(23 to 25 ohms), but the heater is still within tolerances. Any resistance would indicate a good heater element. What seems to be the issue with the fridge ? Read More...

Thomas G. April 23, 2011 for Model Number JCD2389GEB The refrigerator part is not cooling and it seems to be getting warmer. I have moved the thermo to cooler temps and the frig does not cool properly.
1 Answer Hi Thomas. You can test the thermostats and heating element with a multi meter MA-DM1. They should read closed when they are cold. If they test okay then you will want to replace the defrost timer 61005988. Hope this helps! Read More...
