Maytag MSD2556AEW; Originally the refrigerator gradually stopped getting cold in the fridge and freezer side until it wasn't cold at all anymore. The motor was still running and it was making a loud buzzing noise. We replaced the Relay and it began working great again. But a month later, over the course of a few days it has stopped getting cold again and the nothing is frozen in the freezer anymore. Now we don't know what it could be.
Hi,
Without actually putting gauges on the system to see what is really going on, I would say that your compressor has failed. There is a good chance that it is something inside that has broken. Turning it off and back on will give it another life sometimes but like youexperienced it is usually short lived.
I assume that you have checked that the condenser fan is running underneath the fridge. Also that the condenser coils are not completely plugged with dirt. These things can also make your firdge od wierd things...
This should give you a couple of things to checkout, but I fear that the compressor is bad and you will need to replace it or get a new refrigerator. If you choose to replace the compressor get a full price quote before the work is done, as it may not be worth doing if you have an older refrigerator.
I hope that this helps you to solve your problem.
Thanks for using Fixya!!
