Freezer compartment seems to work fine; refrigerator compartment doesn't cool at all. Any/all suggestions most welcome.

Thanks,

Hi.

If the evaporator fan motor is working, then most likely it's a defrost problem.
Remove the cover inside the freezer: do you see the evaporator blocked with snow?
Locate inside the control panel the defrost timer and using the flat screw driver slowly turn the shaft CW until the unit stops.
In 5min. check if the defrost heater is working.
If it's on and melting snow - replace the defrost timer.

The timer Part number: 63001353
Part number: 63001353


If the heater doesn't work check it and the defrost thermostat for continuity using the multimeter.

The heater Part number: 63001387
Part number: 63001387


The defrost thermostat Part number: 63001388
Part number: 63001388


This last two parts are no longer available but if you take them to a parts store, they should be able to help you.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag MTB1895AEW REF - TOP MOUNT | AppliancePartsPros.com

Thank you. Post the results.

Simon.

I appreciate the response. However, after due deliberation, we decided to junk the Maytag and buy a new refrigerator (different brand), having already "invested" in two major repairs on a six-year-old fridge.

Again, my thanks for the response.
