Maytag MFF2557HES Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator Questions & Answers
Freezer not cooling, but fridge works fine
In most cases the problem you are having is a defective start relay, overload and run capacitor. These parts can wear out or the symptons are caused by a defective fan motor. What is the correct model number?

Maytag Refrigerator MFF2557HES - won't
Possible that the thermostat or the control unit is faulty as it fails to cut off the compressor.In some cases the frost or ice formation can reduce the connection or wire contact of the thermostat and so the function will not work. You need to remove the freezer rear covers to confirm if the wires are intact and also if the thermostat is working along with the auto defrost timer.

Model"F2557HES
Bottom freezer door seems to
Hi mhhilley ,
Thanks for your question at Fixya,
Please find the solution to your problem as follows :-
- You can move the freezer door lightly in up and down position , but make sure you don't put much pressure on the handle and check if opens up.
- If it does not open up then you need to shut off the fridge for at least one hour and then try opening it up , make sure you open the door by grabbing the door and not the handle , because doing that can break your handle.
Hope this helps ...:) In case you have any queries , feel free to contact me.

The upper fridge portion is no longer working, but
NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if freezer control is turned WARMER, which makes the Ref. colder
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Check cold control (thats where you turn it colder)

The bottom freezer works but
Sounds like airflow fan needs to be replaced. Most fridges use a small fan that blows air from the freezer to the refridge. If that fan fails you get working freezer and non cool fridge.
