Default Maytag Plus side by side fridge not cold
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: MSD2758GEQ
Age: 1 - 4 years

I just recently bought this fridge used from a Maytag appliance repair shop....now the freezer works fine but the fridge is not cold at all. I have the setting for the fridge set to 9 and it only get to around 46 degrees in the fridge. It also has 2 climate control drawers that you can set the temps for like meats and veggies....they are not getting as cold either. Can some one tell me what to do or replace? Ive tried calling the guy we bought it from but he will not answer.

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent between the freezer and fridge. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's open.

If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.

check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat

You have the evaporative defrost control. It senses when to defrost based on how many times and for how long the door is opened. It's more energy efficient but there does seem to be lots of problems with the board.
