    Maytag French Door Refrigerator Freezer OK Fridge Not Cooling

    Model Number: MFD2561HEW
    Brand: Maytag
    Age: 1-5 years

    Our 5-6 yr old Maytag French Door Refrig is freezing OK, the digital display say -0-, but the fridge display says 80 degrees. It feels like 80 degrees too! There seems to be no air moving. Could it be a fan or something related that is causing our problem?

    Evaporator motor failure is common on this age of Maytag refrigerator. (I.E. I assume you do not have a defrost issue.)
    To confirm fan motor failure, gain access by removing the back panel in the freezer.
    Locate the motor, and the quick release disconnect. Now, using a volt meter, measure the voltage.
    The correct reading is approximately 120 volts. If the voltage is below 100 volts, it indicates a failed control board.

    The motor is Part # 12002744


    The control board is Part # W10503278
