Maytag Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (PTB19BBGRW)

We completed a refrigerator repair on 38th Street NW in Canton, OH for a Maytag PTB19BBGRW that wasn’t cooling properly. The freezer and refrigerator sections had both lost their cooling capacity. Our diagnosis revealed a failed start relay that was preventing the compressor from operating.

The Problem

The customer reported that the freezer and refrigerator were not cooling properly. Both compartments had lost their ability to maintain proper temperatures, indicating a major cooling system failure.

Diagnosis

The start relay had failed, preventing the compressor on the fridge from operating. Without the start relay functioning, the compressor couldn’t engage to circulate refrigerant through the cooling system, explaining why both the freezer and refrigerator compartments weren’t cooling.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: URCO410-RUN CAPAC — start relay/run capacitor
• Work performed: Replaced the failed start relay component
• Result: All functions appear to be operating correctly after replacement

Is It Worth Repairing?

For a Maytag refrigerator, start relay failures are relatively common and inexpensive to repair compared to the cost of replacement. These refrigerators are generally reliable units, and replacing a failed start relay is a straightforward repair that can extend the appliance’s life significantly. The PTB19BBGRW is a solid model worth maintaining.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Refrigerators

• Keep the condenser coils clean by vacuuming them every 6 months to prevent compressor strain
• Check door seals regularly and replace if cracked to maintain proper cooling efficiency
• Ensure adequate airflow around the refrigerator with at least 1 inch clearance on sides and back
