Maytag MRT118FFFM Freezer-On-Top Fridge Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Ice maker fill and shutoff arm
- Cold control and thermostat
- Door swing and gasket
- Defrost drain
The Maytag MRT118FFFM is a top-freezer refrigerator: the freezer sits above the fresh-food section, a layout that is common in rental units, garages and secondary kitchens. Some variants of this family arrive with an ice maker, while others are only prepared to take one, so we confirm which one you have.
If your unit has an ice maker, we start with the water valve, the fill tube and the shutoff arm. For temperature complaints, we check the cold control, whether a dial or electronic, along with the damper and the fan. The door swing can be reversed on most variants, so we also check that the hinges and gasket fit properly after any change.
Before ordering anything we match the whole model and serial on the data plate. You hear the price first, and the finished job is covered for 30 days.
Key features
- Top-freezer layout with the freezer above
- Temperature control is a dial or an electronic panel, by build
- Some variants ship with an ice maker; others take a kit
- Wire freezer shelving and reversible door swing on most variants

How do I know if my unit has a factory ice maker?
Look for a fill tube and an arm in the freezer. If there is only a plastic cover or a water line fitting at the back, it is probably kit-ready. We confirm this on the data plate.
Can the door swing be reversed?
On most variants of this family it can. If you changed it, a gasket that does not seat well can let air in, so we check the hinges and the seal.
What does the cold control do?
It tells the compressor and fan when to run. A dial control is tested at the dial, and an electronic one at the sensor and board.
