Maytag Refrigerator Repair – Homeworth, OH (Asd2626hew)

A Maytag refrigerator in Homeworth, OH wasn’t cooling properly in the fresh food section while the freezer stayed cold. We found the evaporator was frozen over, blocking proper airflow between compartments.

The Problem

The customer reported that the freezer is cold but fridge is not cooling well. This is a classic symptom of restricted airflow between the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

Diagnosis

The evaporator was frozen over. When ice builds up on the evaporator coils, it blocks the airflow that carries cold air from the freezer to the fresh food section, leaving the refrigerator warm while the freezer continues to work.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None
• Work performed: Reset the refrigerator and performed a force defrost
• Result: All functions tested normal after the defrost cycle

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Maytag model is a solid side-by-side refrigerator that typically provides years of reliable service when maintained properly. A frozen evaporator is often a quick fix, though if the problem recurs, the control board may need replacement to prevent future ice buildup.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Refrigerators

• Keep door seals clean and check for proper closure to maintain consistent temperatures
• Don’t overpack the fresh food section — blocked vents prevent proper air circulation
• Replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent clogs that can affect defrost cycles
