Maytag French Door Refrigerator Ice Buildup On Fan

To avoid excess moisture buildup minimize door openings.

Maytag french door refrigerator ice buildup on fan.

I need help with my refrigerator ice maker. It is a french door model made by whirlpool. 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. I have located the panel in the freezer that i believe i need to remove to clear the problem.

An improper seal of the gaskets on the refrigerator or freezer doors could also cause humidity to form. My 4 year old refrigerator ice maker constantly freezes up. The icemaker isn t making enough ice. 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 drip pan underneath is always empty so i suspect that the drain is clogged. Has done this for years. Another cause for this could be that the door hinges are loose or not attached properly leading to outside air entering your fridge freezer. The problem is the ice maker freezes up and the ice cubes do not drop.

The guard opens like a door pivoting on the right edge pulls out. Get all items out at one time keep food organized and close the door as soon as possible. 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. A standard icemaker should produce about three pounds of ice a day.

If a large amount was recently removed it could take 24 hours to fully replenish. Water leaks out from under the front and the freezer bottom freezes up constantly. Noticed a small ice build up coming from open vent on freezer back wall. Humid room air causes moisture to build especially when the doors are frequently opened.

A common cause for ice buildup is a faulty door seal. Push in to the right the tab on the left side in the middle. The ice does not dispense as the ice holding area forms into a large block.
