Re: Maytag fridge too warm, lights not working but freezer f

Fridge now appears to have settled down. Did not defrost fully but added more food to fridge side so that both sides balanced.

Also used dehumidifier to reduce humidity – may have helped reduce icing?

Will defrost once good levels reduced.

Lights still not working. Will start fresh thread for that problem stand alone.

try a complete defrost, turn off , door open for 2 days

might not make you lights work but if its an ice blockage on the return tube it will clear it

Thanks Dave.

Will try that.. Will have to try and store food!

Update on the lights. I removed the door switch and tested the wires for power. There is no power getting to the switch.

Any ideas where they go to from the switch?
