Checking for Items Preventing Door or Lid Closure

How to Check for Items Preventing Door or Lid Closure on
Your Maytag Freezer?

If your freezer door or lid is not closing properly, check to ensure nothing is blocking it. Some common items include: 

  • Packing or shipping material.
  • Food packages.
  • Shelves or baskets out of position.

Ensuring the door or lid is closing correctly will help with:

  • Allowing moisture and air in, potentially causing excessive frost build-up.
  • Maintaining temperature and compressor run time.
