Noisy damper
5 of 5 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Keith from OLYMPIA, WA
  • Really Easy

  • Screw drivers
Easy fix, it's right in the back of the fridge under a cover that just clips in, a piece of foam, and two screws. The hardest part is getting the clips free without breaking them. After replacement it's silent instead of making a grinding noise regularly.

Bulb wouldn't light up, when freezer drawer was pulled open
5 of 5 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Dennis from LOUISVILLE, KY
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
The repair didn't get done, because both times that I requested a 25-Watt Light Bulb, I received a 3.6 Watt bulb instead & neither one worked. So I tried testing the original bulb in a table lamp & it worked. So I sense that the problem may be in the switch that allows the light to turn on when the drawer is opened & shut off when the d rawer is closed.

Had to bang on the Thermostat to get the compressor to kick in.

  • Richard from O FALLON, MO
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
1.unplugged the refrigerator.and took off 2 knobs, and 2 screws to remove the cover from the back wall of the refrigerator.Next I unhooked 3 wires,and removed the mounting bracket by removing 1 screw. I had to use a file to slightly modify the bracket, since the thermostat was not the exact same model as the original,due to the age of the refrigerator.(40+years) I reassembled in the reverse order, and it works great

Fresh Food Compartment occasionally going down to 28-30 degrees F
5 of 5 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Galen from WASECA, MN
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
Failure detected as Damper Control at upper rear of compartment would continuously open/close, would never stay open or closed. Sometimes the main board would turn it off (maybe a low thermistor limit?), but it would stick open a bit, and keeping letting freezer air into fridge. Could have potentially been control board, but as it turns out after disassembly of the defective damper, the internal microswitch was stuck in the closed position so it wouldn't shut off the motor. Easy fix by gently pulling the cover off the damper control, pull out Styrofoam encasement, then a phillips to remove the damper assembly. Gently push tabs to release wire connectors. Reverse the process and you're done! If I really wanted to go on the cheap, I could have just changed the microswitch, but that looked like a shaky maneuver at best. This site saved me on this one, so happy to share my experience with this Maytag and its nasty habit of freezing my milk and eggs!! :)

Top section warm, but freezer okay.
5 of 5 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Christopher from HOMESTEAD, FL
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
Popped off the control panel at the top behind the door. Found the thermistor and replaced it, cutting the wires and splicing the new one in. Immediately the warm section of the refrigerator was getting below freezing temperature readings, so the cooling vent was not opening. I put the old one back on and the temperature readings went back to being accurate. So this was not the problem. I believe now that the fan somehow is not blowing enough cold air up. So now I'll probably buy a fan motor and maybe a blade and try that. Otherwise the computer module I priced at $500 so I hope it isn't that. I replace the fan motor a few years ago already.

Freezer was dripping water into refrigerator below
5 of 6 people found this instruction helpful.
  • John from Redmond, WA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
Removed the old timer from the housing. The replacement came with good instructions. I followed the instructions corresponding to the color wires in my unit. The first time it was installed, the fridge did not come on and the temperature rose after a couple hours. Looked at the part and realized the defrost cycle must have kicked in. Need ed to slightly turn the gray slotted part to initiate the timer so it would stop the defrost and start the fridge. That did it! It must have advanced the timer so it could accumulate run time. Whole repair saved us $3000 in a new fridge.

Freezer would periodically allow things to partially thaw out
5 of 6 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Dana from Canyon Lake, TX
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers, Socket set
First, I removed the two thermostat knobs, then the snap-on plastic cover. Then, I removed the 4 screws holding the housing for the timer, thermostats, etc., and dropped it down enough to remove the timer and the wiring harness going into it. Installing the new one was the same process, in reverse. Quite simple!

refrigerator not cooling properly
6 of 9 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Ernie from Windsor, CA
  • Really Easy
  • 1- 2 hours
Replaced refrigerator cooling control. No luck. Replaced freezer cooling control. No luck. Coils were icing up. Unplugged frig and allowed coils to defrost. After more poking around, found that condenser fan was not spinning. Touch it and it'd start. That was definitely in need of replacement. Replacement was easy. Refrigerator is now running as it should.
