Maytag Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (ARB8057CB (BOM: PARB8057CB1))

A Canton homeowner called when their Maytag refrigerator stopped cooling completely. We found the compressor would not start, traced it to a failed start relay overload, and got the unit running normally again with a replacement part.

The Problem

The customer reported their refrigerator does not cool. Complete loss of cooling means food spoilage becomes a concern quickly, especially in warmer weather.

Diagnosis

Compressor would not start. The start relay overload had failed, preventing the compressor from initiating its cooling cycle. This is a common failure point on Maytag refrigerators of this vintage.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W11039035 — start relay overload
• Work performed: Replaced the start relay overload
• Result: Running amps measured at 1.2, issue resolved and operation is normal

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Maytag ARB8057CB is a solid side-by-side model that’s worth maintaining. Start relay failures are relatively inexpensive repairs compared to compressor replacement, and these units typically provide many years of reliable service when properly maintained.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Refrigerators

• Clean condenser coils every 6 months to prevent compressor overheating and premature relay failure
• Check door seals regularly — poor seals force the compressor to work harder
• Keep vents clear inside both compartments for proper air circulation
