My Maytag SS MSD2756AEW is not functioning. I do have lights, but that's it. No compressor, freezer fan, condensor fan, etc. No clicking or buzzing sounds. I have replaced the Adaptive Defrost Control and the Temperature Control. I can ohm across the Temperature control and it shows good, also I have jumped across the red and blue wires to it and still nothing. I replaced the defrost heater & sensor, thinking that maybe it wasn't getting out a signal; it shows to be good on ohm meter. Freezer fan ohms out good. I had the capacitor checked and it was good. I replaced the start relay, and the overload protector looks good and ohms good. I have also ohmed across all the wiring I can get to, and find no breaks, burns, or shorts. Also, the water fountain seems to have gone out simultaneously. Can you help?

This is very unusual, you have checked everything I would have checked for this issue, so its sounding like you have a wire harness disconnected somewhere, or a broken wire/wires.

So check all your wiring harness's and wires, other than that, I'd suggest having a Maytag tech. come out if you can't locate the problem.

The only thing I noticed when checking the wiring is that when I ran my ohm meter from each red and white wiress that connect at the power cord, to the red and white wire at the harness that attaches to the Adaptive Defrost Control, I did not have continuity. I checked red to red and white to white. I tried making a loop at the wiring harness to the ADC to imitate at switch, and then tested both white and red at the power card harness. I got high ohms that gradually moved to infinity. I am wondering if this means there is a break or burned out spot between the power cord harness and the ADC.

Its possible, but wiring problems are extremely rare when appliances break down, usually its a part thats out that causes it, but since you already tested all the common parts in the main power circuit, then its likely a wiring break, yes.

Still working on my Maytay SS. Only one of my frig lights had been working, and I broke it when I was working on the frig. I just put in the new lights in the frig, and they do not work. I have lights in the freezer part, but not the frig. Does this explain my other issues? Looks like I'm not getting power to frig.

Nope, sorry, still don't have a clue.
