Maytag French Door Refrigerator Ice Buildup On Fan

The icemaker isn t making enough ice.

Maytag french door refrigerator ice buildup on fan.

The water dispenser still works but not the ice. If a refrigerator has a bad door seal the outside air will pass into the fridge and cause the ice build up problem you are experiencing. Humid room air causes moisture to build especially when the doors are frequently opened. It is a french door model made by whirlpool.

I have a maytag french door refrigerator with a bottom freezer and about 6 months ago it started building up ice on the floor of the freezer and leaking onto the floor. To avoid excess moisture buildup minimize door openings. The ice does not dispense as the ice holding area forms into a large block. If your refrigerator was just installed it may take 24 hours for ice production to begin and up to three days for full ice production.

The guard opens like a door pivoting on the right edge pulls out. If a large amount was recently removed it could take 24 hours to fully replenish. An improper seal of the gaskets on the refrigerator or freezer doors could also cause humidity to form. Get all items out at one time keep food organized and close the door as soon as possible.

I have located the panel in the freezer that i believe i need to remove to clear the problem. A standard icemaker should produce about three pounds of ice a day. The drip pan underneath is always empty so i suspect that the drain is clogged. The center fan guard has two tabs at the top on each end that push in toward the center another tab in the middle at the bottom of the guard that pops up.

Noticed a small ice build up coming from open vent on freezer back wall. Push in to the right the tab on the left side in the middle. Another cause for this could be that the door hinges are loose or not attached properly leading to outside air entering your fridge freezer. My 4 year old refrigerator ice maker constantly freezes up.

Water leaks out from under the front and the freezer bottom freezes up constantly. I have a maytag french door refrigerator with a middle drawer four years old. Has done this for years.
