Thank you netpog, I did check that first, but my problem appears to be a little bigger than dust. Thanks for the advice.

I plugged it back in and it worked fine for about a week, but then the fridge started to get warm again. I opened it up and sure enough there was a lot of frost built up in there. I'm not sure what to do next. I'm letting the ice thaw now. What could the problem be?

Jessica, I posted a thread on MY "fridge & freezer both too warm" soon after you posted yours. Turns out that my problem was simple as a HUGE dust build-up on the condenser coils. I should've started with that one, and just wanted to check that you did think to do so.
Personally, I'll have to clean those coils monthly, and/or better-enforce the kids' dog-brushing discipline!

Ok I will turn it on, and let you know what happens. Thank you.

One of most common problem with Maytag refrigerators is a faulty adaptive defrost control but in your case there is not enough evidence to make any decision.
Turn the refrigerator "on" and monitor it closely for a few days. Do not turn it "off" even if it would not work properly.
Post the results.
Gene.

I emptied the fridge and the freezer yesterday, but I didn't open up the inside until now. I just pulled the fride out to see if there was dust clogging the back and found a big puddle. So apparently there was some frost somewhere.

I didn't notice any frost in the freezer. It is actually working much better than the fridge but it's not as cold as it should be and it's not making ice like it should.
The fan does work and it blows cold on the freezer side, just not cold enough, and the fridge is nowhere near cold enough.

Did you see the rear panel in the freezer in frost?
Does the fan in the freezer work?

I'm not sure what's wrong with my refrigerator. It's running constanly, but it's not getting very cold. I'd like to fix it, but I don't know what to fix. Why isn't it getting cold if it's running constantly? Please help!!
