I have the infamous Maytag MZD2766GE Wide by Side. I replaced the adaptive defrost control board about 6 months ago. Today got the call from the wife that the freezer is no longer working and everything has thawed out. I thought it was the adc again. but I removed the back paneling in the freezer, and there was no frozen coils. dammit, that means it is something else.
what do I need to test, where do I start probing with my meter?

Hi,

Is the compressor or fans running at all?

This thread explains how to check the relay start device:
[FIXED] How to replace a (Whirlpool/Kenmore Model 106) Refrigerator Start Relay

Here's the start relay kit for your model you can order:
Manufacturer part number 12002784 is RepairClinic item number 1194899
12002784

It comes with complete installation instructions.

Yes, the fans are running. And now that the kids are asleep I can here a switch/relay clicking.

I pulled this off and it shakes like a baby rattle

I have a Maytag MSD2754GRW and bought the replacement 12002784 Overload Relay kit I see where the orange and Blue wires go. Where does the white wire go?

Hi,

They make 2 different overload/relay kits for this model, depending on your serial#.

Please post your serial# to see if thats even the correct kit for your model.

If your serial# starts with 23 or higher then you need this kit:
(part # 12002794)
