How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before removing toe grille or panels.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the freezer for air circulation.
- Check gasket seal: Replace the door gasket if it is not sealing properly.
- Anti-sweat feature: Some Maytag models have an energy saver switch that turns off door heaters. Turn this feature off (i.e., turn heaters on) in humid conditions.
