How we repair your Maytag Top/Bottom Mount Fridge
A top or bottom mount fridge stacks the freezer above or below the fresh-food compartment, usually sharing one evaporator and fan to cool both sections. Every top/bottom mount fridge relies on a compressor, condenser, evaporator, fans and a control board or thermostat working together, plus door gaskets that hold the cold in. A technician starts by measuring cabinet and coil temperatures, checking airflow and defrost operation, then tests electrical parts before ever touching the sealed system.

Common Maytag Top/Bottom Mount Fridge problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Frost on freezer walls and food
- Likely causes
- A torn freezer gasket, a door or drawer not sealing, or a failed defrost heater or defrost thermostat.
- What our technician checks
- The gasket is inspected for gaps and the defrost heater and thermostat are tested for continuity.
Temperature dial has no effect
- Likely causes
- A failed cold control thermostat or a broken damper linkage that does not respond to the dial.
- What our technician checks
- The cold control is tested for continuity at different settings and the damper linkage is checked by hand.
Ice forming in the drain pan area
- Likely causes
- A clogged defrost drain or a missing drain heater clip that lets the drain refreeze.
- What our technician checks
- The drain is cleared and the drain heater or copper clip is checked for correct position.
Freezer cold but fridge warm
- Likely causes
- Frost blocking the air channel between the compartments, a failed evaporator fan, or a stuck damper control that meters cold air to the fresh-food side.
- What our technician checks
- The technician removes the evaporator cover to look for an even frost pattern, checks fan operation, and tests the damper.
Unit runs constantly
- Likely causes
- Dirty condenser coils under the unit, a failed condenser fan, or worn door gaskets letting warm air in.
- What our technician checks
- Coils and fan are inspected, run time is compared with cabinet temperature, and gaskets are checked.
Bottom freezer drawer not closing
- Likely causes
- Bent or broken drawer slides, a misaligned drawer front, or ice buildup on the drawer track.
- What our technician checks
- The slides and rollers are inspected for damage and the drawer is checked for level and gasket contact.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Check the plug and the breaker.
- Make sure the temperature dial and freezer control are not at the warmest setting.
- Clear packages away from the air opening between compartments.
- Push the freezer door or drawer firmly closed and check for ice on the seal.
- Brush dust off the front grille near the floor.
Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing interior panels, and leave sealed refrigerant work to an EPA-certified technician.
