My side by side maytag refrig only cools to 60 degrees on the refrig side...... the circulation fan is working....however the coil had been frozen over with ice. I defrosted it but still the frig only cools to 60 degress. What is the likely componet to look for.

probly needs re charged

Try replacing the circulating fan first. If it's not turning, it's more than likely bad. However, the fan might not be your only problem. The problem may lie with the icemaker. The icemaker is essentially the brain of the unit. It tells when to cool, when to defrost and when to maintain temp. Your icemaker may be stuck in defrost mode.

If you mean the rest of the refrigerator is warm, that means the fan that circulates the cool air from the cooling coils around the freezer compartment is broken, you'll need to send it in for repair.

You may have an interior fan problem on the fridge side where as the air cannot circulate.

Water Running in refrigerator from Freezer

Check to see if your hear your evaporator fan is running in your freezer, then check behind the refrigerator and see if your condensor fan is running. Make sure your condensor coils are clean under your fridge. Your symptoms are leaning towards dirty condensor coils. Good luck!

I would suggest pulling the refrig out and removing the lower panel . On the right , there is a black box ( condensor ) . The fan pulls air thru the coils and dust , lint , etc , can block the air flow , causing the freezer to not get cold enough ( 5 degrees ) for the ice maker to work . Also check to make sure the fan there is working . If the fan is working and the coils are clean , try turning the freezer control slightly colder . If the fan is not working , replace the fan motor .

there is a fan on many newer units that blows cold air from the freezer side to the frig. If that fan is not working, the frig will be cool, but not 34° like you want it.

the coils are actually behind the unit next to the fan assy(sorta a plate rolled over it self opposed to conventional coils on this particular unit).tyr removing hte lower panel in freezer section, check the evaporator.Should be an even frost pattern across hte entire coil, no frost with execption of the top 1 or 2 coils, is an indication of a sealed system issue( covered under 5 yr manufacture warr usually). excessive frost (cpmpartment completly frozen over) is a sign of bad defrost system.perhaps even the fan not circulating the cold air into the refrig compartmant

di you see or hear the fan running fan might be stuck check that out no fan no circulating cold air you may have problem with the heating element what make frost free inside you should melt all the ice inside around the damper check if you see broken glass the little heating element if it not broken and listen for that important fan if it running check it uot thank for using fixya pierre
