The unit stopped and is not cooling. Cleaned all condensers and coils. Replace compressor unload capacitor and good ohms reading at compressor (4.5 + 4.5 on both terminals then third poll to poll = 9.5 ). No continuity issues with compressor terminals. The compressor gets warm but not hot. I had no ice buildup. Ty Gjvoight@yahoo.com Sent from my iPad

Normally it suppose to be thin layer of frost all over the coils. If there is no frost at all or the coils are covered only partially, very likely the sealed system is low on Freon. Gene.

Thanks all the help. Apparently there is a design flaw with this unit which causes pin hole leaks in the freon lines. Maytag serviceman diagnosed it.
