If your Maytag ATB1511 refrigerator and freezer are both at refrigerator temperature, the likely causes include:
1. Faulty Evaporator Fan Motor – This fan circulates cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator. If it is not working, the freezer will not be cold enough, and the refrigerator may stay at a similar temperature.
2. Defrost System Failure – If the defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or defrost timer/control board is faulty, ice can build up on the evaporator coils, preventing proper airflow and cooling.
3. Damper Control Issue – The damper controls airflow between the freezer and refrigerator. If stuck open or closed, it can cause improper cooling.
4. Dirty Condenser Coils – If the coils are clogged with dust and debris, the refrigerator will struggle to remove heat, reducing cooling efficiency.
5. Faulty Thermostat – If the temperature control thermostat is malfunctioning, it may not signal the compressor to cool properly.
6. Compressor or Start Relay Issue – If the compressor is not running or the start relay is faulty, the refrigerator will not cool properly.
7. Low Refrigerant Level – A refrigerant leak can cause the cooling system to fail, resulting in both compartments being too warm.
Check if the evaporator fan is running, inspect the coils for frost buildup, and ensure the condenser coils are clean. If the issue persists, a technician may be needed for further diagnosis.
