Measure the temperature in both compartments. Normally it suppose to be about 0°F in the freezer and 36°F to 39°F in the refrigerator. If the temperature is higher and you could not adjust it - call Maytag warranty service.

Gene,
My GE side by side GSL22JFPH has exactly the same problem you described in the first post. I couldn't find the defrost timer in the break down diagrams. Does my fridge have this part any way?
Thanks!

Thanks! You don't have a timer. Your defrost is controlled by the motherboard. Part 801 on the diagram of your sealed system & motherboard. Have your checked your defrost heater and defrost thermostat.

This is pretty much the same problem Ive been experiencing for the past few months. I have a Bosch KUS40 refrigerator (with freezer on top).It works fine for a few weeks then it will start to leak at the bottom of fridge,after a week or so the refrigerator part wont cool anymore but freezer part will still work fine.Then a few days later my ice cream almost turns to solid rock,so I'll switch the refrigerator off for a few days then back on and all will work fine again only for the above senario to repeat itself. Now,I cant find my model on this site probably because its only found where Im from (New Zealand) or Australia,so its kinda hard for me to find the thermostat/defrost heater and timer.I have a fair idea what they look like,its just identifying the parts properly. Any help much appreciated, (TIA).

The best solution I believe is to call a local Bosch representative.

Thanks! I have done manual defrost twice and am convinced that the problem is with the defrost control. I have been wondering how to remove the back panel of the freezer? Does the ice maker part need to be removed? Is there any step by step instructions with photos? I really don't want to mess up. Forgive me about this very newbie-ish question.
