I took the back panel off in the freezer side to reveal the frozen coils...which I have defrosted. The fridge now won't get below 70...:mad: The fans are now blowing but it isn't going to keep our food from spoiling! Is there a thermal fuse or reset switch that I need to reset? What should I check next?

The fridge side is fluctuating from 60 last night down to 32 this morning...but I did leave it on the coldest setting overnight. I think it may be the adaptive defrost control, at least that is what I am going to try next. Should have the part tomorrow.

It suppose to be at least 24 hrs for the fridge to built up a proper temperature. Gene.

The adaptive defrost control is the most common problem for Maytag and Jenn Air refrigerators. If the frost will show up on the back panel in the freezer - replace it. Gene.
