Maytag refrigerators,
specifically.
Maytag refrigeration is freestanding and sold on durability: steel shelves, a heavy-duty door design and a PowerCold feature on most of the line. French door, side-by-side, top-freezer and bottom-freezer models share the family platform, but several Maytag features change how a symptom should be read.

The Maytag
lineup.
Maytag builds 2 of the 5 refrigerator types this site covers. Which one decides how the visit is planned.
All refrigerator typesWhat is particular
to Maytag.
The Maytag line is entirely freestanding, from top- and bottom-freezer units up to French door and side-by-side models. The larger two carry most of the features that shape a visit: in-door or ceiling ice makers, Advanced Defrost and, on some models, dual evaporators.
PowerCold runs for a full day
PowerCold drives both compartments toward their coldest settings and stays on for 24 hours unless someone turns it off; changing the refrigerator set point cancels it. A Maytag that is running hard and cold the day after a big shop is often just doing PowerCold.
Two evaporators on some models
Some Maytag French door models give the refrigerator and freezer their own evaporators, with a valve that switches cooling between them. That valve makes rapid repetitive clicking, which Maytag describes as normal, so the sound alone is not a reason for a visit.
Defrost only when it is needed
Advanced Defrost monitors the freezer and runs the cycle only when it is needed, instead of on a fixed clock. When frost does build up on these models the defrost system has to be checked through its controls and sensors, not by waiting for a timer.
Ice made in the fresh-food ceiling
On one common layout the ice maker sits on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment ceiling, not in the freezer. Ice complaints on those units are handled in the fresh-food section, where door openings and a warm refrigerator affect production directly.
Parts
Mechanical parts are generally easy to get because the platform is shared. Which ice-maker layout and control board a unit takes is settled by its full model number, not by its appearance.
Repair or replace
Worth repairing in most cases: ice maker, defrost, fan and control work on a Maytag is ordinary. When the compressor or refrigerant circuit fails on an older, basic unit, replacing it usually wins.
