Was just a thought.
Have you looked at the dispenser area,esp PCB. Prone to leaks from poorly closing ice flap.
Solenoid for ice flap goes awol aswell.

checked that and fine no water marks and not down on earth and yep check pcb as well and clean dry and no that .

Re: maytag american f f

the most likely cause of this would be the defrost heater, followed by the compressor, but as you’ve checked these, obviously not!
have you checked the condensor and evap fans?

cheers.

Re: maytag american f f

Have only ever had earth faults on these by the following
1/ Defrost heater
2/ Compressor
3/ Ice maker Unit

Have sent you circuit diagram by email 😉

Greg

PS – Defrost heater was weird, leakage went acceptable when out of circuit but but when I physically meggered it, it read ok 😕 Changed it and hey presto so…………

Re: maytag american f f

got to be ice maker then as try everything else and by removing defrost heater and compressor from circuit didn`t make anything difference ie still down to earth

pm you back greg
