Etermine if the evaporator fan motor is defective try turning the fan blade by hand.
Maytag refrigerator not cooling but freezer is working.
There may be a simple reason why your fridge isn t as cold as you expect.
In case this fan doesn t work properly the fridge will not get cold.
If the fan blade does not turn freely replace the fan.
The evaporator fan motor draws cold air over the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout the freezer.
Cold air is drawn and circulated inside the freeze r by the evaporator fan motor.
You can use volt ohm meter to check the defrost sensor for continuity.
The evaporator fan motor draws cold air over the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout the freezer.
If the evaporator fan is not working the freezer or refrigerator will not cool adequately.
If the fan blade does not turn freely replace the fan.
If the evaporator fan is not working it will not circulate the cold air to the refrigerator compartment.
Replace the defrost sensor if it shows no continuity at around 0 degrees f.
The refrigerator isn t cooling or is too warm.
If the refrigerator is not cooling properly check to make sure the refrigerator is turned on.
If the defrost sensor trips because it s not working correctly frost builds up on the evaporator fins eventually making the refrigerator and freezer not cool well.
If the evaporator fan is not working the freezer or refrigerator will not cool adequately.
Also consider signs like motor making any unusual noise or blades are not moving.
If they aren t you need to replace the motor.
One of the main reasons for fridge not cooling but freezer works is that the evaporator coils are not working in proper order.
To determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective try turning the fan blade by hand.
Some refrigerators need to be manually turned back on after a power outage or power surge.
Fridge not cooling but freezer works 1.
Check it by a multimeter test if windings are in continuity.
If this occurs the freezer may still get cold while the refrigerator will not get cold.
The evaporator coils are filled with frost so air doesn t get space to pass through them to get cold.
