Question about Maytag MSD2756G Side by Side Refrigerator

3 Answers

Maytag Plus side-by-side freezer constantly needing to be defrosted

The problem stems from the freezer door popping open when the refrigerator door is closed. Often this happens without notice by the door closer resulting in the freezer coil to become iced over and unable to perform its function. The entire freezer contents must then be removed and the freezer thawed. It seems that air from the refrigerator section is pushed through the freezer section when the door closes forcing the freezer door to open. Is there some fix anyone has come up with that will help prevent the occurrence of this situation? A latch on the freezer door...but how to install? Something else we are missing....

    Yes, that is exactly what we could diagnose. With six children in the house, getting them to double check the doors has been completely unsuccessful. We even tried putting a lock on the handles hoping that the extra step would get them to pay more attention...unlocking the fridge becomes more of a hassle. I was hoping there was a latch we could install on the freezer door to counteract the air pressure coming into the freezer.

Water is collecting on the bottom of the freezer and freezes then it becomes so much it starts to leak out side the freezer door. get about 1/4" thick. Is there a leak some where? Take about 2 days to form.

Thats a common problem on refrigerators today. Its due to if you can belive this there very well insulated even though they are lighter and thinner them older units. the reason the freezer door pops open is because when you close the frigde door the air pressure has to go somewhere. so it go's through the air ducts into the freezr and the door pops open. Yhe best way to stop it is to not shut the door to hard follow it through with your hand on it and maybe put your other hand on the freezer dor to make sure it says closed. I have never seen a kit to solve that problem.

We have the same problem with our top Freezer door. The only solution I could come up with is using one of the safety 1st child products. It is a little bit of an eye sore since our appliances are black, and their product is white. But it works. Especially having a three years old, it helps from her not getting into the ice cream. But it has helped a lot. Here is a link to what I am talking about.

When I close my side x side frig the freezer door pops open
This happens because the refrigerators of today are air tight, the fresh food door pushes the air into the cabinet as it closes and the air has no place to go but up the air vent into the freezer and "pops" open the freezer door. First thing is make sure the freezer door is capable of closing properly and is not rubbing or catching anywhere. I sometimes add a washer or 2 to the center hinge under the freezer door so it doesn't rub anything. Put a little Vaseline ( or food grade silicone lubricant ) on the hinge side of the seal. I then raise the front of the refrigerator so that the front of the refrigerator is a little higher than the back of the refrigerator. Never level a fridge with a level. Once you have the door closing properly and front slightly higher than the back...let the fresh food door close from 90 degrees on it's own and the freezer door may "pop" open a little but will close again on it's own...and stay closed once all is set up properly. We see this more often now and have no trouble with the door staying open again after setting up the refrigerator properly.

make sure the fridge is tilted back a little so doors close with a little push by raising the front legs,also put some weight on the door, fill a bottle with water or any kind of heavy thing you want,this will hold the freezer door in place when you shut the fridge door

Frost inside freezer door
there is a small electric heater along the door gasket where you see the frost building up, this heater has apparently stopped working. this will also cause the door to pop open due to a poor seal. feel around where the door gasket contacts the refrigerator and it should feel a little warm. if not then a service company can replace those heaters. should not be too expensive.
