I went to get ice cream out of the Freezer and it was mush. Everything inside was starting to defrost. I thought the fridge was ok initially, but the fridge eventually became warm as well currently around 68 degrees..almost room temp.

I cleaned off the coils underneath.

I removed the back and verified both the compressor and compressor fan are running (pretty much nonstop).

Air is blowing both in the freezer and fridge.

I pulled the back wall of the freezer and nothing is frozen over. There is no frost at all anywhere and it is not cold at all.

I put the fridge in diagnostic mode and ran the tests.

• Test#1 Defrost Thermostat= Open
  
• Test#2 Compressor and Condensor Fan: Passed. Could turn both on and off
  
• Test#3 Freezer Evaporator Fan: Passed. Fan turns on and off.
  
• Test#4 Refrigerator Sensor Diagnostics: Pass
  
• Test#5 Freezer Sensor: Pass
  
• Test#6 Damper Door: Pass. Opens and closes
  

Should test #1 be Open? Any ideas onw hat could be wrong. Again it is affecting both the lower freezer and uppper fridge.

I believe it is. It is warm and feels like it is humming.What is the best way to tell?

P.S.- I removed the start capacitor and relay from the compressor. The relay seems to rattle if I shake it which from what I understand could indicate failure... I had replaced this item a couple years ago.

The fridge is 10 years old. I can't believe the failure rate on these Maytag products. They were all put in at the same time Jan 2007. I have gone though 1 dishwasher from Maytag already which dies, but was under recall. My microwave has needed repair as it started sparking a few years back. My dishwasher just failed today as well and won't activate when pressing start-it has been finicky the past few days. The touchpad control is shot I think. So right now, no fridge and no dishwasher.
