Hello, my Maytag fridge mod.#mbf2258dem00 freezer is no longer working. The fan is running.,I also hear a clicking noise quite often and then engages the cooling function, but quickly turns off again.

SOURCE: Maytag fridge made some clicking noises and then stopped cooling

For what it is worth. I had this problem twice and both times the compressor ad to be replaced. Ton this day it sounds like a pin pong game whenever it runs. No it is not the fans or the ice maker.

it sounds like a bad: 

• ·       start switch (on the side of the compressor) or
  
• ·        compressor itself

hello frooska,

kindly look at the back panel of the freezer section. if you can hear the humming sound, find out where it is coming from. if the sound is coming from the compressor, that means the evaporator fan is not running.

but, take note that u need to press the door switch of the freezer in order to check the fan. the fan stops every time the door is open. if the fan is not running, you have to remove the middle panel, above the evaporator, the fan would be there. ( in the freezer section)

but if the fan is running and the back panel of the freezer is full of frost, then that would be a defrost issue.

defrost heater, bi-metal or defrost controller.

Tnx 4 uisng Fixya,
