How do I Troubleshoot a Maytag Adaptive Defrost Bottom Freezer?

    • 1). Plug the refrigerator in. Check household fuses and circuit breakers. Unscrew and remove blown fuses and replace with new fuses. Push tripped circuit breakers to the "On" position.

    • 2). Turn the freezer control knob to "4." The freezer will not cool if the control knob is in the "Off" position.

    • 3). Allow the freezer to cool for eight to 12 hours after installation. Do not add food until the freezer has cooled down. Adding food will increase the amount of time it takes to cool down to the correct temperature.

    • 4). Turn the freezer control knob to a cooler setting if the freezer is not cold enough. Wait five to eight hours for the freezer to cool.

    • 5). Allow the defrost cycle to complete if the compressor is not operating and the freezer lights are on. The defrost cycle will complete in approximately 40 minutes.

    • 6). Close the door tightly and allow the door to remain closed if the freezer is not cool enough or runs constantly. Clean the door gasket and the surface the door contacts when closed with a mild dish detergent and water to ensure a proper seal. Dry with a clean cloth.

    • 7). Turn the freezer control knob to a cooler setting if water flow to the ice maker is slower than normal. If the ice maker takes longer to fill, the temperature inside the freezer is too warm.

    • 8). Push the wire shutoff arm down into the "On" position or move the switch on the side of the ice maker to the "On" position to turn on the ice maker.

    • 9). Allow 24 hours after the freezer has cooled down for the ice maker to begin producing ice. The ice maker will not begin to produce ice until the freezer has cooled down to the correct temperature.
