Most common issues on this model

  1. Fresh-food side warming while the drawer stays cold
  2. Air path from the freezer to the fresh-food side
  3. Freezer drawer not seating squarely
  4. Temperature control response

The Maytag MBB1952GRW is a bottom-mount refrigerator: a fresh-food door up top and a freezer that pulls out below. The last letters of the number mark a finish or revision, so the data plate is read in full before any part is ordered.

The complaint we hear most on this layout is a warm fresh-food side while the drawer below still freezes. That points to the air that moves from the freezer to the upper compartment, so we check the evaporator fan, the damper and the air passages for ice before touching the sealed system. We also look at how the drawer closes, because a drawer that sits a little open lets warm air in.

The price is agreed before we begin, and the finished repair is guaranteed for 30 days.

Key features

  • Bottom-mount layout with the freezer drawer below
  • Fresh-food door on top, freezer drawer at the bottom

MBB1952GRWMBB1952GRW questions
Why is the top of my bottom-freezer refrigerator warm when the freezer is cold?

Cold air for the upper compartment travels from the freezer side through a fan and damper. If the fan stalls or the passage is iced over, the freezer stays cold while the fresh-food side warms. We trace the air flow first.

Can a drawer that does not close tightly cause this?

Yes. A drawer resting slightly open lets in warm humid air, which builds frost and raises the temperature above. We check the slides, the gasket and the leveling.

How do you know which part to order?

We copy the model and serial off the data plate and match the revision letters, since similar numbers can take different parts. That avoids the common mistake of ordering by the first digits only, which can leave you waiting for a part that does not fit your refrigerator.
