Maytag GS2625GEKB freezer stopped working.

Hi,

I have a Maytag GS2625GEKB Side by side fridge freezer roughly 4 years old, yesterday i noticed it was leaking.

On opening the freezer all items were defrosted and ice was melting.

I have removed the front bottom air vent on outside and hoovered out. As was dusty.

I have removed the outside bottom rear panels and hoovered out. As was dusty, there was no evidence of ice or water here.

I removed Mid/Lower panel at back of freezer and checked. No ice build up and also poured hot water down drain, which wasnt blocked.

I have now turned back on in the hope that it starts working again, as im currently at work till 11pm.

Is there anything else i can try or do before calling a engineer. 😥

nothing really, except to check that you have power there. this sounds like you need an engineer.
is there a noise from the appliance? does the compressor kick in when you open the fridge door?

Yes there’s power, the lights are still on inside.

Can’t say I have ever noticed the compresser as it’s such a quiet fridge freezer but I will listen out for it.

listen for it in particular when you open the fridge door.

I can hear a buzzing sound, when I open door all I can hear is the fan.

sounds like engineer time.
use the facility on this site to get a company familiar with this make.
where are you in the uk?

Had a engineer round he says due to a power surge it’s blown the main motor (compressor) roughly £230 to fix.

I’m just talking to my house insurance to see if they will pay for it?

Re: Maytag GS2625GEKB freezer stopped working.

if it’s the compressor then £230 isn’t a bad price at all. a power surge blown it though???
if it’s the pcb, then the part will be about £70 ish, obviously plus labour.
