My Maytag (top freezer 20 cu ft frig) the fan in the freezer is making the worst noise. I'm ready to throw it out. If you hold the back of the freezer with your hand you can stop the noise for a few minutes, then it starts again. The frig is only about 4 years old. HELP Dana

Check the condenser fan (outside at the rear) and check the coil isn't baking hot. Electronics or board wouldn't cause your symptoms. Check the simple things first!

check for a bad/ loose/dirty gasket on the bottom side ofn the door. check your drainage line for clogging on the defrost system for back up

I would suspect the door seal is not making contact or has some defect in it. And that defect is probably in the top right corner of the door. If you have a thermomiter, wait until the compressor kicks in and then slowly run it around the door seal. There should be some area that is colder than the rest. If I am right, then you will need to replace the seal.

I cannot find a MQU8057AEW in the Maytag library. I did find a MQU2056AEW that is 20 cu ft.

check to make sure door seals are touching the frame all round, could be an air leak,also make sure there is no ice build up around the inside casing. if so fully defrost unit,clean all vents/drain pipe, then turn back on and leave it for 24hrs (freezers work beast when full).....and door shut..how many times have you closed door after them????

my maytag freezer not wotking correctly, the top shelf not cold, I bought a meat and tryed to put it on the top shelf, unfortunately, my meat went to the garbage and just the botttom shelf takes time to freeze, better than the top shelf
any help ?

If you have the model number you posted under, you are looking at replacing the evaporator fan motor, which would be a part number 4309014 for that Maytag MQU1556A. It is located inside the freezer, behind the lower back wall.

I have a Kenmore Freezer model # 253.9251310 serial # s510347256
10\95 Makes all kinds of noises and now is defrosting. Sounds like fan is working but no noises besides fan. any ideas

at 6 years old it certainly aint new!
from what you describe, sounds like a compressor fault

Check the defrost timer, rotate it until a solid click is heard. If your unit starts to work replace that timer. Good Luck
