Maytag MBB1956GEW Refrigerator With Bottom Freezer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Water pooling inside or under the fresh-food compartment
- Defrost drain blocked by ice
- Door and drawer leveling
- Glass shelf and bin fit
The MBB1956GEW is a Maytag bottom-mount refrigerator with one upper door and a lower freezer drawer. The full model and serial on the data plate are checked before a part is ordered.
Water on the floor or under the crisper area is the call we see most on models of this type. Melt water from the defrost cycle leaves through a drain, and when that drain freezes or clogs the water backs up and runs into the cabinet. We clear the drain, check the heater that keeps it open and confirm that the unit sits level so water travels the right way.
Because the glass shelves sit in the upper compartment, we also check that nothing is pressing on the drain tube or the back panel. The price is settled first, and our work 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
- Glass shelves that adjust in the upper compartment
- Electronic or mechanical control, depending on the build

Why is there water under my refrigerator's lower drawer?
The usual cause is a blocked defrost drain, which sends melt water into the cabinet instead of the drain pan. We flush the drain and test the heater that keeps it clear.
Can leveling matter for a bottom-freezer unit?
Yes. If the cabinet leans the wrong way, water and the drawer both misbehave. We adjust the front feet or rollers so the door closes by itself and water drains properly.
Will you replace parts without telling me the cost?
No. We show you the part and the price first, and we start only after you approve. You also keep any part we remove if you want to see it, which makes the repair easy to understand and the bill easy to check.
