Your evaporator coils frost up in normal use
and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater
comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost
drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the
freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.
Your drain tubemay be stopped up with ice at the upper end
because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the
evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it.
Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey basterwill usually clear it out. Flushing
it out with hot water and clorox may help. Make sure it drains quick enough
to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils
on the lower back of the freezer or The water inlet valve may be staying open. You
can swap the wires on the dual water inlet valve and disconnect the water line
at the valve which goes to the ice maker. When you try the water dispenser the
water will come out there. When you stop the water dispenser, if the water at
the valve doesn't stop, the valve isn't closing so you'll need to replace it.
If it does stop after trying it several times then the problem is with the ice
maker.

I have a Maytag Side-by-side Ref/Freezer Model MSD2458GE. The compressor went out and just had it replaced. Now the refrig/freezer is making a much loader noise than before. The noise isn't from the compressor or the back of the refrig/freezer, but appears to be from the freezer side. I removed the back panel from the freezer interior compartment. Inspected for ice on fan. Fan appears to be running fine and no noise. When I reassemble panel back, the noise comes back after a few minutes. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

The freezer defrosts enough so that the ice melts and clumps up in the ice dispenser and any food on the top shelf thaws. It then refreezes. (Model is actually GSH22K)
