Question about Jenn-Air JBL2086HES Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

The refrigerator compatrment won't cool but the Freezer works

My Jennair is less than two years old and on Friday my food spoiled in the top refrigerater compartment. The bottom Freezer compartment is working just fine with no problems at all. In addition, the bottom draw in the refigerater below the fruit & vegetable campartment is working just fine. I think it is either a fan or the temperature control. After I write this e-mail I'll see if I can identify the fans to see if that is the problem. What I'm looking for is detailed information on how to narrow in on the problem and if it is possible to self fix it. Thank you in advance, Curt

After some further investigation my brought to my attention that the compartment undet the fruit & vegetable draws has it's own temperature control. This leads me to believe the problem is the temperature control. If it is the Temperature control tan how do you replace it and can it be done by myself?

Curt, I think you were on the right track with your first post. Check to see if the freezer fan is running. Then take a look at the back of the freezer and see if you have a big frost build up on the panel. The fan should be running moving the air to the upper compartment. If you have a big frost up on the back panel, you would have a difrost issue. Check these things out and post back..Catriver.

Sounds like thatyou refrigerator has leaked out the refrigerant. If you have a condenser i.e. cage on the back , place your hand over it and see if it is warm if it is not then if deffinaltey the gas.

this is not a diy job and you will need an engineer with relevant qualifications..

hope this helps

Fridge problem

I don't know about the hot points for sure, but all the maytags (I used to work for maytag) have a damper valve in the air tunnel that feeds cold air to the refrigerator. If the damper went bad, it would block cold air flow into the refrigerator. (assuming this model has a damper)

Your condenser coil is frozen up with condensate...need to fix the defrost system, most likely it is the control sub module.
