Gene,

After reading this document at: http://www.servicematters.com/m...ibrary/docs/16010154.pdf . I realize that by setting the freezer to 9 (the coldest) actually reduce the air flow to refrigerator to minimum. Last night I set the freezer setting to 2 and this morning the refrigerator cools down to 39 F. Everything seems to be working now. I will let it run for a week to see if it holds.

Tracy,

Did you see frost built-up in the freezer?

I have a Maytag model MZD2766GEW. Several months ago I had a defroster issue that, with help from posts here I was able to repair. I left town for a week and just returned to a mess. My fridge does not seem to be cooling at all, freezer or fridge. No ice buildup on freezer side. The condenser fan is running, and the compressor seems to be coming on, although it seems to cycle on & off quite often.

Any help on what else to check?

Thanks,
Corey

Hi Corey,

How often? Are we talking about minutes or seconds?

Gene,
Thanks for getting back to me. I just went out and plugged it in. I am hearing a click (solenoid?). The compressor seems to be coming on for 15 or 20 seconds, then off for a minute or two. Then repeats. The compressor seems to be very quiet. I place a screw driver against the housing and with my ear against the screwdriver handle I can hear a hum.

Does any of this help?

Thanks again,
Corey

Corey,

The first thing I would do is replace the relay and overload for the compressor. If it would not help then the compressor itself is bad.

- The part number for the relay/overload kit is AP3964068

If the problem is a bad compressor then this job has to be done by a certified technician.

Here are the break down diagrams for the Maytag refrigerator Model MZD2766GEW
