If in the freezer is warm and the compressor not running but fans are then we need to start at compressor by unplugging and pulling away from wall remove the cover over the compressor and feel the top to see how hot. If too hot to keep hands there leave the plug out of the wall and tell me and I will help or if you don't feel like this is something you can do then it may be better to call in service. Let me know, Sea Breeze

I think that is a good idea and thanks for the rate. Feeling the top of the compressor may sound strange but when the compressor runs normally it gets cold freon from the return back from freezer. So it sounds like you do have something there making the compressor hard to start or difficult to continue running. try to get a look there and see what the technician does. If he slips a hard start capacitor in there its only to get by warranty deadline without replacing compressor. If you see him do that, please let Maytag know. I really get tired of some of those so called authorized service center cheats. And keep my site above in your favorites. Thanks, Sea Breeze

Thanks, Sea Breeze. I had the back off and the compressor is very hot to the touch. I think the fridge is still under warranty (5 years) so will call the company I got it from. I did clean the dust off the condensor and grille.
