Maytag Refrigerator Repair – East Canton, OH (FDBM)

A customer in East Canton called about their Maytag refrigerator that wouldn’t regulate temperature properly. Our diagnosis revealed a failing control board that was preventing the automatic defrost cycle from operating correctly.

The Problem

The customer reported that the refrigerator’s temperature won’t regulate. This is a common symptom that can indicate several different component failures in the cooling system.

Diagnosis

During our inspection, we found that the compressor relay was sticking in the control board. This prevented the refrigerator from defrosting properly in automatic defrost cycle, which was causing the temperature regulation issues.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10503278 — Control Board
• Work performed: Replaced the faulty control board
• Result: Operation should be normal with proper temperature regulation restored

Is It Worth Repairing?

Maytag refrigerators are generally well-built appliances that can provide many years of reliable service when properly maintained. A control board replacement on a Maytag unit is typically a worthwhile repair, especially if the refrigerator is otherwise in good condition and the compressor and cooling system are functioning properly.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean by vacuuming them every 6 months to prevent overheating
• Replace water filters according to Maytag’s recommended schedule to maintain proper flow
