Refrigerator not cooling but freezer is fine

Model Number: MBF2256KEQ Brand: Maytag Age: 1 - 5 years

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com

Last week, the freezer had frosts within the unit. Defrosted the entire freezer which is located at the bottom. The freezer and refrigerator worked normally until now.

Now the fridge will not cool properly yet the freezer is working with no sign of frosts.

What part do you suggest I replace?

Hi.

First check if the evaporator fan is working. While the compressor is running open freezer door and push the door switch.

Is the fan working?

Remove the cover panel and expose the evaporator coil.

What is the frost pattern look like?

What did you do to defrost the freezer?

Please post the results.

Simon.
