Maytag msd2456dew not cooling / not freezing after noisy fan

I have a Maytag Plus Model msd2456dew whish is a side by side fridge freezer. About a week ago i was woken up by what sounded like a "noisy fan", near the top light of the ridge part (when i opened the door). It was early morning and I wasn't going to take it apart at the time, so all I came up with is to disconnect the fridge from the power outlet. After connecting it back after 5 seconds the noise stopped and fridge/freezer kept on working for another few days. Then the "noisy fan", which sounded like a fan rubbing against part of plastic or something problem returned. Again i dosconnected the power and connected it back, and the noise stopped. Another few days went by, and just after Friday the 13th the fridge/freezer died completly. There is no sounds of clicking or anythingelse whatsoever. I tried leaving it off for some time, no luck. Nothing kicks in. Can anyone please suggest how to diagnose this problem? Much appreciated.

Maytag plus MSD2756GEQ ice maker not working

I had similar problem in that the fan in the freezer that blows freezing air into freezer and over to fridge was not working. Fridge was running warm (over 40 deg and freezer up near 20) Service call around $160 with new fan.

My refrigerator is not getting cold

You should try to clean the coils under the fridge . Thats a simple thing to try .If your fridge /freezer cant remove the heat it wont cool ,also please make sure your doors are closing tight. We can start on all the free things you can try first..

Maytag fridge

Without knowing the type of fridge(side by side, freezer on top etc.) all I can offer is this: Somewhere between the freezer and the fridge there's an opening thermostatically controlled to transfer cold air from freezer to the fridge. Most have a fan to move the air. So either the fan (if so equipped) stopped, and need to replace, or opening is stuck closed, or plugged.
If freezer is working fine, this is the only problem I can think of.
Hope this helps

Freezer not freezing

Check the back wall of the freezer section for signs of frost build-up. If the freezer coil is frozen from a fault in the defrost system your refrigerator will be the first to show signs of not cooling.
