I have a Maytag Performa fridge/freezer that has become quite warm. The freezer is on top, and seems to be blowing warm air constantly. I removed the defrost timer and defrost thermostat, the timer tested good, but the thermostat didn't. I assume the thermostat is a simple on/off switch so I tried running the fridge with it disconnected, and with the wires jumped. Still warm. Does this mean when the new thermostat I ordered gets here, it will still be warm, or is it possible it will still fix the problem? What else should I look at?
