Maytag Refrigerator Repair Arlington Heights IL

Your Maytag Refrigerator is one of the most essential appliances in a household and they can sometimes experience some type of issue that will prevent it from working properly. Below are some of the most common problems and their likely causes:

1. Temperature Issues:

   • Refrigerator not cooling properly: This could be due to a compressor, evaporator fan, or condenser coils issues.

   • Too Cold: If the refrigerator is too cold, unless the thermostat is set too low, the changes are the temperature sensor could be faulty.

2. Leaking Water:

   • Inside the refrigerator: This may be due to a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a blocked water supply line, or a malfunctioning water filter.

   • Under the refrigerator: A leak on the floor could be caused by a blocked defrost drain, a damaged or clogged condensation pan, or a faulty water inlet valve.

3. Refrigerator has clicking or humming noises:

   • Clicking or popping: These sounds may indicate a problem with the defrost timer or a faulty compressor.

   • Buzzing or humming: A buzzing noise can result from a malfunctioning fan, while a humming noise could be due to the compressor.

4. Ice / frost buildup:

   • Inside the freezer: If you notice excessive ice or frost buildup, it could be due to a malfunctioning defrost system, such as a faulty defrost timer, defrost thermostat, or defrost heater.

   • Ice around the door seals: If the door seals are damaged, warm air can enter, leading to frost accumulation.

5. Refrigerator Runs Continuously:

   • This may be caused by dirty condenser coils, a malfunctioning thermostat, or improper temperature settings.

6. Water and Ice Dispenser Problems:

   • Issues with the water and ice dispenser can be related to a malfunctioning water inlet valve, clogged water filter, or faulty dispenser controls.

7. Door Seal Problems:

   • If the door seals are damaged, the refrigerator may not maintain the proper temperature, leading to a waste of energy.

8. Strange smells:

   • Lingering odors inside the fridge can result from spoiled or expired food items. Cleaning the interior and checking for spoiled food is usually the solution.

9. Electrical Problems:

   • Electrical issues can range from a malfunctioning power cord, plug, or outlet to problems with the compressor motor or wiring.

When encountering refrigerator issues, it’s often best to consult the manufacturer’s manual for troubleshooting tips. If you’re not comfortable diagnosing or fixing the problem yourself, it’s advisable to contact a qualified appliance repair technician to assess and repair the refrigerator to avoid potential safety hazards and further damage. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning coils and changing water filters, can also help prevent many common refrigerator problems.
