š Common Maytag Refrigerator Problems
Error Codes: What They Mean & What We Do
Newer Maytag models display diagnostic error codes when something goes wrong. Donāt panic ā hereās what they mean and how we resolve them:
āļø Not Cooling / Warm Fridge or Freezer
Common Maytag Error Codes:
E1 / E2 ā Temperature sensor failure
CO ā Communication error
PO ā Power outage (fridge may not restart properly)
š ļø How We Fix It: We test thermistors, check airflow, diagnose the control board, and inspect sealed system components like the evaporator and compressor.
ā Most cooling problems are fully repairable ā especially when caught early.
š§ Leaking Water or Ice Inside Drawers
Symptoms:
Water puddles near freezer or deli drawers
Ice building up around the back panel
Musty odor from inside the fridge
Common Causes:
Clogged defrost drain
Frozen or cracked water lines
Faulty inlet valve or heater
ā We clear blockages, replace damaged parts, and test for hidden mold or insulation damage if necessary.
š§ Ice Maker Not Working / Water Dispenser Issues
Common Error Codes:
Fd ā Ice maker fan failure
dr ā Door switch not engaged (blocks dispenser)
SY EF ā Evaporator fan issue
š ļø We inspect the ice maker motor, fan systems, water valves, and fill lines. If possible, we thaw or adjust instead of replacing to save you money.

Error Codes:
