Maytag Refrigerator Repair – CARROLLTON, OH (MFF2558VEM)

We serviced a Maytag refrigerator in Carrollton, OH where the fridge compartment wasn’t cooling but the freezer still worked. The evaporator was not defrosting automatically, requiring a control board replacement to restore proper operation.

The Problem

The customer reported that the fridge is not cooling, but the freezer still is. This is a classic symptom of a defrost system failure in side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerator models.

Diagnosis

The evaporator was not defrosting automatically. I was unable to get it to enter into defrost at all. This is a common problem with these particular models, where the control board fails to initiate the defrost cycle properly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10503278 — control board
• Work performed: Replaced the defective control board
• Result: The fridge is operating correctly with proper defrost cycling restored

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Maytag model is generally worth repairing when the main issue is a control board failure. These refrigerators are well-built appliances, and replacing the control board typically provides years of reliable service. The repair cost is reasonable compared to replacement, especially for a unit that’s otherwise functioning properly.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Refrigerators

• Keep the condenser coils clean — Maytag bottom-mount models collect dust easily behind the front grille
• Check door seals regularly and clean with warm soapy water to maintain proper temperature control
• Replace water filters every 6 months to prevent ice maker and dispenser issues common in these models
