Hi,

I'd first take the food out of the freezer and check your lower back panel inside the freezer and see if you have any frost build-up on it, better yet is to remove that lower back panel of from inside your freezer and look at your evaporator coils to see, Normal would be a thin layer of frost on all the coils.

Also make sure your evaporator(freezer) fan is running, and pull your refrigerator out from the wall, then take off the lower back access panel and see if your condenser fan is running, it sits next to your compressor, and put your hand on the compressor to make sure thats running.

Maytag has had a big issue with the Adaptive defrost board on these models.

This thread explains all about it:
[FIXED] Maytag Refrigerator Model MSD2756DEB is not cooling properly

Here's the Adaptive defrost board for your model:
Adaptive Defrost Control Board Part#61005988
61005988

What exactly did you do? Just change the Adaptive defrost board?

You also have to defrost the evaporator coil completely to get it to run normally after you installed it.

Jake: I let the fridge sit off for 24 hrs. Until I recieved the part. I looked at the evaporator coil and it was dry.

Ok, let it run now with the evaporator cover on, and we will go from here.
