Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before touching any internal components.
- Soft reset: Unplug the unit for 5–10 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge, then plug back in.
- Surge protection: If your home experiences frequent surges, consider using a refrigerator-rated surge protector (check Maytag recommendations).
- Monitor operation: After reset, monitor temperatures for 24 hours. If the E0 code returns or cooling is unstable, the main control board is likely failing.
Replacing the main control board involves removing the rear access cover, disconnecting harnesses, and installing the new board. If you are not comfortable with electrical work, contact a technician.
