Maytag Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (ATB2136ARQ)

A Canton homeowner called about their Maytag refrigerator not cooling. When we arrived at the Ridgedale Avenue Northwest location, we found the evaporator fan motor had failed completely, leaving the unit unable to circulate cold air properly.

The Problem

The customer reported their refrigerator was not cooling. Food was warming up and the freezer wasn’t maintaining temperature.

Diagnosis

We tested the electrical supply and found 120v to fan, but the fan was not spinning. The evaporator fan motor had seized up and needed replacement to restore proper air circulation through the cooling system.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WR60X162 — FAN MOTOR
• Work performed: Replaced evaporator fan
• Result: Good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Maytag ATB2136ARQ is a solid side-by-side refrigerator that typically runs 15-20 years with proper maintenance. An evaporator fan replacement is a straightforward repair that extends the unit’s life significantly. Unless you’re dealing with multiple system failures, this model is worth fixing.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Refrigerators

• Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent the evaporator fan from working overtime
• Check door seals regularly — poor seals force the cooling system to run constantly
• Keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer clear of food items for proper air circulation
