We responded to a service call in North Canton for a Maytag refrigerator where the freezer is cold, but the refrigerator is not. Our diagnosis revealed a failed refrigerator control board that needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported that the freezer is cold, but the refrigerator is not. This is a classic symptom of a control board issue in Maytag refrigerators, where cooling circuits operate independently.
Diagnosis
After testing the system, we determined the refrigerator control board had failed. This component manages the cooling cycle for the fresh food section while the freezer continues operating normally.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WPW10503278 — refrigerator control board
- Work performed: Replace the refrigerator control board
- Result: It may take several defrost cycles for it to completely phase the issue out
Is It Worth Repairing?
Maytag refrigerators are generally well-built appliances worth repairing, especially when the issue is isolated to a single component like the control board. This model should provide many more years of reliable service after this repair.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Refrigerators
- Keep coils clean and unobstructed for proper airflow and cooling efficiency
- Check door seals regularly to prevent warm air infiltration that overworks the system
- Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain optimal performance
