Top 20 Maytag MZD2766GES Side by Side Refrigerator Questions & Answers

A defrost water drain pan should located under the unit on top the coils. Or in the outside in back mounted on top of compresser I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_dc2f9e0a44104720

Who is the brand?

Check your fan next to the compressor if it's running ,also check your evaporator fan if it's running.
If both fans are running and you still have ice built-up then you may have a refrigerant leak

Yes... Hello sjscycle (Steve), Good thinking A No water CONDITION in the ice tray would tend to POINT FAULT at the (ice-cube) water valve... but The voltage for the valve comes from the ice head.. If you can negotiate (fit a water bottle up into the ice tray)... if the tray cycles & does not refill... it is VERY LIKELY... If the part were more exotic or expensive it might be WORTH the RISK of live voltage testing... Personally I WON'T RECOMMEND live testing... The fitting appears to be the new (easy to use) press type... Press white collar to RELEASE... Press tube directly into valve... SIMILAR to the new SHARK Bite solderless fittings now available in most hardware stores (nice & easy). Watch the attached video... and decide for yourself. Electric shock (if not fatal) is quite painful to most. Let's watch the (2) videos (you will be happier).

To aid in troubleshooting, the link below may be of help: MAYTAG MAYTAG REFRIGERATION Parts Model MZD2766GES Sears PartsDirect You may have a failed defrost heater.

It is in the top refrigerator shelf behind that plastic shild. Take the shild off and I think that model is just a quarter turn and the little cylinder comes out

Maytag push and hold reset for 3 to 10 seconds push and hold light and lock pad same time till blinks at ya set for another 12 months

Even if the unit if issue free, this older design is still suseptable to moisture intrusion behind the inner liner. If your ice is below or around where the fointain area is, than you may be leaking water from the fountain behind the outer door shell. Since your outer door and inner liner are no longer avail, the best suggestion is to turn the entire fridge off, and let everything completely dry before re assembly. Once insulation gets imbedded with moisture and freezes, the insulation factor diminishes. Although your outer door insulation should be the newer style semi solid foamed in style, so moisture intrusion will not be any deeper than an inch or so. If the fountain heater has failed around the dispenser, you attract moisture to that area too. Pleazer Appliance...

It should be marked. And you should have a water line kit with it.

Carefully lay the unit on it's side and go from the bottom

Make sure the condenser is clean and clear, and all fans are working as they should. Also check the freezer section for signs of ice build up. A good defrost and a cleanup usually does the trick! If it's in direct sunlight, try to limit the heat with a blind.

The touch pad is not avail separatley, the conplete Facade/Escutcheon needs to be replaced. Part# 61005386 approx $160.00. In some cases the original clear plastic protective film might still be left on the front of the facade. Pleazer Appliance...

If the insulation in the door has blown, it cannot be replaced. If there is a dispenser in the door, look at all the plastic parts for any splits or leaks. To test if it is the dispenser, turn off the water supply for a few days. If the water stops collecting in the door it's a good sign.

From your description it sounds like the start components (start relay, overload and capacitor) are having problems. The clicking you hear is probably the overload kicking out to protect the compressor. It is quite possible that the compressor simply has gotten too hot and after sitting a while will restart when plugged back in. The start components are not generally considered 'user serviceable' parts. When the compressor has cooled to pretty much room temp, plug it in and be listening for those clicks. If you hear them, unplug it because it could eventually damage the compressor. Those components give the compressor an extra jolt to get the compressor running then they drop out of the circuit. If the compressor doesn't start, it creates heat until the overload drops out.

Is your compressor giving sounds like a buzz followed by a click periodically? Is the compressor exterior warm/hot? Most likely the compressor start relay assembly is bad, or the compressor is locked up, (frozen internally). If you connect an amp probe to the red wire of the compressor, and the momentary reading meets or exceeds the LRA rating on the compressor tag, most likely the compressor is at fault.

Adjust the hinge heighth

not a bulb problem, the computer board is what makes the light dim. for the price of replacing the main board i would just let it work the way it is. if the light fails completely, then think about a new board, but its not really a thing that is needed.

It does sound like a bad fan motor. With the compressor getting hot you may need to change the start relay, overload and run capacitor if it continues to run like this with a defective fan motor. What is the correct model number? Sea BreezeThe condenser fan motor for a model MZD2766GES is part number=> 61005323 Condenser Fan Motor or here=> 61005323 Condenser Fan Motor

On top of the fridge are plastic covers over the door hinges. The side with ice/water dispenser should have a wiring harness underneath the plastic cover with a wiring harness connector. It may be loose from opening and closing the door causing a poor electrical connection. Try unplugging and reconnect.
