The top section does not work. I do not hear anything turning on to cool it down, though the freezer section seems to be working. I can hear a humming from the back of that section, though I don't feel any cold air coming from the fan in the back.
What you should be looking for is a blocked air flow. The fan in the freezer will push air up to the fridge and cool it off. Look for a dead fan motor in the freezer or a blocked air vent Good luck

I had the same problem and had to change the control board,
the technician showed me how to defrost manually to keep the fridge cold until
he could get the new control board and change it. Open the refrigerator door push in the light button to turn
off the light inside the fridge at the top (keep it pushed in) then push the
left button of the refrigerator temperature setting 3 times and let go of the
light button the letter "d" will be displayed.
Push the left button one more time number "5" will be displayed, push
the left button a third time and you will hear noises this should start the defrost
process. Wait a while then open the
freezer and check the coils on the back wall of the freezer, the ice should
have melted. Wait a couple of hours and
your fridge should start getting cold again.

Marc of Nc. check to make sure the fan in the freezer is operating when the compressor is on. The only thing the fresh food section gets its cool air from is the freezer. and if the fan is not operating no cold air will get up there. If the fan is running you need to make sure the air duct is not blocked with frost of the evaporator is not iced up. Check that out and get back with me if there still is a problem. Good Luck
fan won't start by itself.

I've been told by a tech who repaired my MFD2560HEQ this past week that many of this model had a problem with compressor failure. Your symptoms are classic. What you are hearing is the starter relay trying to start a warm/hot compressor by supplying it with an extra jolt of electricity, but because of the faulty compressor (or if you are lucky a faulty relay) that's warm (cool ones start more easily often) is refusing to budge into motion and compress the freon. Maytag, I believe, has a five year warranty on the compressors. They did on mine, but unless you have an extended warranty the labor replacing it is not covered and that will be around 2-3 hours worth. This is the price we are paying for our quest for energy efficiency. Compressors are being built so small and light that they fail much more often than grandma's old, old refrigerator that was built like Fort Knox and ran for 45 years, remember? But we're being energy efficient! Thank you environmental extremists! I wish I could send you the repair bill.
