	no, it's definitely not the seal. Has to be something mechanical / electrical. The noise had stopped, but last night and today it started again. I felt cold air coming into the refrigerator again, so I re-set the temp setting to "recommended" and it got warm again. Guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get a repair guy in here to look at things :(

	Hi. Most likely there is a bad door seal in the freezer compartment. Check both of them. If the gasket need adjustment you can do it using the blow dryer to heat it and reshape. Do not melt the gasket! Before using the fridge again defrost it completely for 24 hrs. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag MTF2142MES00 REFRIGERATOR \| AppliancePartsPros.com Good luck. Post the results. Simon.

	I got the ice maker removed, put the cover back in place and left the freezer alone for awhile. I still don't know what you're referring to regarding an "evaporator" but their's frost everywhere as well as "ice blocks" (though that could have been when I've had the freezer open at times, melting frosted areas and re-freezing). The frost is not as heavy behind the cover as it is all over the food items in there. There is still no cold air blowing into the refrigerator. It's still somewhat cool, but to ensure I keep things as cool as possible, I've been freezing pitchers of water and putting them in the refrigerator.

	Hi. Replace the cover for now. When you'll be able to remove it completely, check if the evaporator is frosted evenly or partially.Is there an ice block in one corner? With cover replaced and freezer door closed see if you can feel air coming from the freezer into the refrigerator. If not - check for blocked air ducts(ice, snow). Before any tests let it run for couple of hours. Post the results. Simon.

	I managed to get part of the panel in the back of the freezer away to look behind it (i can't get the ice maker off, there's two bolts i can't get to and have to wait for my husband. in answer to your question (i think) - no, there is no air blowing in to the refrigerator and there is very little ice on the coils that I saw behind the panel. no excess frost, fan is running freely (to much - my electric bill is going to be nuts next month)
