Hi, jeff How much rate replacement of thermostat for this kind of refrig? I had replace them twice in two years. It is interesting to discuss about that, the heated air should be raised but the fan on the top does function. I just wonder how can thermostat died.
Hi,
You mean how often does the defrost thermostats fail?....if yes, often. Frost free work ( defrost timers, defrost thermostats, defrost heaters ) is one of the most common repair for refrigerators today. Many makes ( not just Maytag ) has had problems with defrost thermostats not lasting....Frigidaire, Amana are a couple that come to mind.
