    My maytag MSD2756AEW freezes up
    My maytag MSD2756AEW will suddenly warm up, and when I pull the panel off in the freezer, its one huge ice block. I have previously replaced the start relay/overload trigger, and I am wondering if this problem is the defrost timer, and if it is how I can replace it. It seems to freeze up about every 2-3 months, and I have to manually defrost it.

    This is obviously a side by side model you have. This is quite common in those models.

    There are only 3 reasons a self defrosting fridge freezes over. They are:

    1. Defrost heater faulty
    2. Defrost limit switch faulty
    3. Defrost timer faulty

    You need to get a multitester and test each component for conductivity. Then you will know which component to replace.
