Maytag French Door Refrigerator Ice Buildup On Fan

I have located the panel in the freezer that i believe i need to remove to clear the problem.

Maytag french door refrigerator ice buildup on fan.

To avoid excess moisture buildup minimize door openings. Has done this for years. Push in to the right the tab on the left side in the middle. Humid room air causes moisture to build especially when the doors are frequently opened.

I have a maytag french door refrigerator with a bottom freezer and about 6 months ago it started building up ice on the floor of the freezer and leaking onto the floor. The icemaker isn t making enough ice. Water leaks out from under the front and the freezer bottom freezes up constantly. I need help with my refrigerator ice maker.

The ice does not dispense as the ice holding area forms into a large block. Another cause for this could be that the door hinges are loose or not attached properly leading to outside air entering your fridge freezer. I have a maytag french door refrigerator with a middle drawer four years old. 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.

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. A standard icemaker should produce about three pounds of ice a day. The guard opens like a door pivoting on the right edge pulls out. The drip pan underneath is always empty so i suspect that the drain is clogged.

Noticed a small ice build up coming from open vent on freezer back wall. If a large amount was recently removed it could take 24 hours to fully replenish. The problem is the ice maker freezes up and the ice cubes do not drop. A common cause for ice buildup is a faulty door seal.

The water dispenser still works but not the ice. It is a french door model made by whirlpool. 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.
