Problem with Maytag MFI2568AE Side by Side French Door Refrigerator

My freezer has an ice build up. The drawers are frozen and will not move. I tried defrosting it and cleaning it and the ice built up again.

    • Hang int here I am working on your information. Just confirm the model is a Maytag MFI25268AE? That way I am on the same page, Thank You Sea Breeze

    • This condition as explained may also be the effect of a blocked defrost drain. How well is the fresh food section temperature holding?

OK most refrigerators have 3 parts that operate the defrost and if even one of these parts fail you end up with the no defrost conditions. I cannot find any photos of the defrost heater but can show you the location in this photo description=> MFI2568AEW_Freezer_Section_Parts_Breakdown Looking at that photo shows each part numbered and part listed as 17 is the defrost heater part number=> 67006386 Heating Element or here=> 67006386 Heater also in that photo is the defrost thermostat=> 67006387 Defrost Thermostat or here=> 67006387 Thermostat like before there are no photos. Click=> Defrost Heater and Defrost Thermostat Instructions removal and re-install Instructions How to test a defrost heater click=> Here Now the first thing I want you to do is Force defrost is performed by using your Freezer Display and Refrigerator keypad. Enter the Forced defrost Mode by performing the following sequence of events.
1 Press and hold the Door Alarm Keypad button.
2 Press and hold the Refrigerator Temperature Keypad - minus sign
3 Release the Door Alarm Keypad and wait 3 seconds. Fd appears in the Freezer Display
4 Press the Refrigerator Down Keypad - minus sign Again. Sh should appear in the right display
5 Press again to Force Defrost Fd and Sh will flash in display indicating unit is in defrost.
If you have any problems please let me know here or on my websites HERE Thanks Sea Breeze
