Fridge and freezer are warm, i can hear a fan running, and i think what sounds like the condenser turning on, theres a click followed by a hum for a few seconds then it shuts off. It repeats this every 30 sec or so. Any ideas?
at the back of your refrigerator, you will see the motor compressor below, at the side body of the compressor you'll find a small box attached to the body where the wires come in, take out the cover, before doing that, unplug it first. then take the cover out. now plug it, don't touch it.
see if you can hear any click sound then it will shut off. if yes unplug it and take out the overload relay attached to the compressor where the wires are connected. try to replace it, just remeber the wire matching.

Maytag fridge ptb1954grw (Bought new in 2002 ) not getting cold, staying around 48 - 50 F. This fridge was part of a recall and on March 12 2009, I had the part replaced under the recall, something called a 3 in 1. Actually that would be the third one installed in this fridge, this same type of temperature problem happened in June 2006, and I paid a serviceman $200 to replace that same part.

The Freezer is working but the main fridge is not getting cold. How do we access the vent to see if they are working or not. This is a under 10 yer fridge so would be nice to be able to fix it. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
