Ok, like so many other people, my Maytag side by side is not cooling the fridge part properly. The coldest I can get it set on #9 is about 45 degrees. The freezer is -6 set on #5. I had a maytag guy out that replaced some "flapper" in the bottom of the fridge that returns the air back to the freezer. I was not surprised when that had no effect. So, I went out and bought the Adaptive defrost board and replaced that myself since I read so many complaints about that. Again, no change. The difference for my problem is that my coils are not frosted or frozen over! The fan in the freezer part runs as well. Nothing is blocked. I should also add that there is very little airflow into the fridge. Please help me figure out what else to try. I'm not going to pay a fortune to this repair guy to keep guessing on a 3 year old refrigerator!

In your fridge there is a damper control that controls the air flow into the fridge section.

It is located in the control panel in the fridge section .

To check the auto damper control do the following:

2. Open the fresh food door and remove any items on the top shelf.
