Maybe loosing freon. Ice maker won’t work if freezer temp isn’t low enough.

Defrost the fridge, take everything out of freezer and turn off for at least a day, check the drain is clear after defrosted and try again, if it happens again you may need a new defrost heater of timer.

Check to see if you have frost on the back panel of your freezer in your fridge. If you do your coil is frozen over and you'll have to defrost your freezer. I just did mine cause mine wasn't cooling properly on my fridge side.

SOURCE: maytag mff2557hew fridge not cooling. Freezer ok.

Sounds like the Freezer Fan is wearing out or is worn out. This fan problem is very hard to detect. The reason is that when the motor is starting to wear out the fan will spin, but at a much lower rpm. This is enough to keep the freezer cold. but will not ciculate enough air thru the freezer and the refrigerator to prevent freezer from and refrigerator from cooler. The cost to repair/replace this fan is a minimum of $300.00

Testimonial: "Your solution was right on the mark! The fan was spinning but not fast enough (according to my repair guy). Thanks again!"

you have a defrost problem, could be bad adaptive defrost board,t-stat heater,when you open freezer door listen for fan if fan is blowing check the t-stat,look at it and see if it has a buldge on it,sometime you can see this and tell it's bad,you'll need a meter to read out the heater and other parts to see whats bad,might be a good idea to call a tech to do this,when you find problem you have to melt everything out again

My maytag model #mfd2561hew is not cooling, fridge at 70, freezer at 62...took back off-fan is running, the kettle looking thing in the back right bottom side keeps turning on, only runs for a few seconds...

Hi!
That is the compressor.
The relay is out on the compressor a. Needs replaced
A relay starts the compressor with a higher voltage and then quickly kicks out
Thats what is happening with yours
Its best for a tech to replace The relay but you can do it
Take your model number to your Local Appliance parts store they will have a diagram
showing you how to install the relay. This is a pic of a Hard start relay

Thank you for using fixya

My refrigerator won't cool (freezer still working)

The temp sensor is the most likely cause of this problem. However, you have other possible options that you can test and check:

likely the problem with your fridge is a bad dumper control. This is a part which operates with the air flow from the freezer into the fresh food compartment.
The dumper control is located in the in the upper left corner in the fresh food compartment.

Fridge not cooling

Make sure your upper fan is working ,its located inside the freezers back wall. If it is running the vent from the freezer over to the refrigerator may be blocked.With out a fan you have no circulation but your freezer may look likes its working,Also if you can pull everything out unplug it turn it down defrost w/ doors open 12 to 24 hrs this will free up any clogged tubes.Turn up to 4 and let it adjust Good luck.

Maytag side by side slowly getting warmer

I have actually been having the same problem. We have a Maytag MTB2156GEQ and it hasn't been cooling well at all lately. Temp in the fridge is about 52 degrees even on the highest setting. The freezer seems to be fine. I pulled off the back panel and vacuumed out the condensor coil and everything else under there. I then pulled out the control panel on the ceiling of the fridge. The channel between the freezer and fridge was almost completely blocked with ice. I cleaned it out by taking out the back panel of the freezer and pouring hot water down through the hole until it was clear.
that seem fix the issue.

Maytag refrigerator model #MFD2561HEW, 2 years old, suddenly stopped cooling. Digital read out in fridge is currently reading 65 degrees

There is a fan in the back of the freezer(my was made in Korea) that blows air up to the fridge. I had a service tech replace mine but I would do it myself if it happened again. Its not hard to get to and is easy to replace.

Maytag fridge

Without knowing the type of fridge(side by side, freezer on top etc.) all I can offer is this: Somewhere between the freezer and the fridge there's an opening thermostatically controlled to transfer cold air from freezer to the fridge. Most have a fan to move the air. So either the fan (if so equipped) stopped, and need to replace, or opening is stuck closed, or plugged.
If freezer is working fine, this is the only problem I can think of.
Hope this helps

Warm fridge

If you are sure the fan is running either the damper motor (vent in fridge section) is bad and not opening or there is ice in the return vents and not letting air circulate. Take out the bottom drawers in the fridge and look down the two return vents in each corner with a flashlight. If they are iced up the top will not cool.
