What would cause the freeze to be cooling normally and the refrigerator side to be at a temperature of 55 degrees?
all it does is the freezer gets cold,the evap fan blows cold air from the freezer into the fridge section so if the freezer is fine,check the air ducts in the fridge section,if a package or something is blocking the vent on the bottom it will get warm or also on your model you have a damper on the top where the air blow into the fridge section from the freezer,you have an electronic damper,there's a door that opens and closes to let the air in,when it's cold enough the door closes when it gets warm the door opens so either the damper is bad or the computer board that operates it is bad,also check the packages in the freezer,if you see frozen water droplets on the packages or ice on the shelves the door could have been left open and the air ducts freeze so no air can pass through,you can hit the air ducts with a hair dryer to melt them out but be careful,don't keep the heat on one spot for to long,you can damage the ducts,also when you open the freezer door you should hear the fan blowing,if not you could have a bad evap fan motor and the air isn't blowing over to the fridge section,the damper is like 45 dollars and the computer board is around 120 dollars,you can go onto the sears site,put your model number in and look at the controls and you can look up the parts.http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Maytag-Parts/Refrigerator-Parts/Model-MCD2257HEB/3048/0165000/M0703130/00006?blt=06&prst=&shdMod= copy and paste.open the freezer door,listen for the fan no fan bad motor,if the fan is blowing either the air ducts are frozen or you have a problem with the damper or board that operates the damper,you might want to call in a tech for this if it is the damper,it's a little tricky to do this job but that's up to you.good luck and i hope this helps you out.
