Maytag Refrigerator MSD2656GEW Fridge too warm

Adaptive defrost control board.

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This assembly contains the evaporator defrost heater and temperature thermostat that remove frost from the evaporator coil to help restore normal cooling. Replaces failed defrost components to help the fridge complete defrost cycles and reduce ice buildup. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator during defrost cycles so accumulated frost melts away
• Uses a temperature thermostat to open/close the heater circuit at the correct temperature
• Commonly replaces failed defrost parts when frost builds on the evaporator or the refrigerator runs continuously
• Helps restore normal airflow and cooling when defrost cycle has stopped functioning

• One defrost heater and thermostat assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the evaporator and fins carefully to avoid damage; keep electrical connections secure and dry
• Follow the manufacturer instructions for routing and mounting the assembly

Hinge pin with door cam.

This refrigerator door closer restores smooth, positive door action. When worn, the door can click, bind, or swing open. Replacing it helps the door seal properly to maintain temperatures and limit frost or moisture.

• Provides cam action at the bottom hinge for smooth opening and a positive close
• Helps pull the door shut during the last inches of travel to maintain gasket contact
• Typical wear symptoms: popping/clicking at the lower hinge, door that won't stay closed, or poor sealing
• Visual clues include flat spots, grooves, or cracks on the cam surface

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door for safety and to reduce weight
• Lift the door off the bottom hinge; transfer/install the closer in the same orientation as the original
• Reassemble, then verify the door self-closes and the gasket seals evenly
• Use care not to pinch or distort the door gasket during reinstallation

This defrost heater clip secures the refrigerator's defrost heater to the evaporator assembly, keeping the heater in proper position for reliable defrost cycles and helping prevent ice buildup that impairs cooling performance. What it does:

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator so the heater maintains proper contact and alignment.
• Helps ensure the heater can melt frost and ice during automatic defrost cycles.
• Small replacement part that restores proper heater placement without replacing the entire assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator or heater to avoid shock or injury.
• Replacement typically requires removing interior panels or an evaporator cover; handle evaporator fins carefully—they are sharp.
• Verify the heater and wiring are undamaged and positioned correctly when installing the clip.
