Hello:
This guide describes my adaptation of a solution that was inspired by the Samurai Appliance Repair Man (SARM)
and a posting on the related appliance repair forum thread located at
http://applianceguru.com/view_topic.php?id=13035&forum_id=1&jump_to=75815 .
Since I found this info on the web for free, and you are finding this info on the web for free, if you find this helpful in
saving the +/- $350 repair bill or getting the fridge fixed faster than waiting on a new board (many reports of this are
back-ordered) please make the suggested donation of a “fin” to the SARM to help keep his free appliance repair
forum going. Tell him “Steve sent you” ;-)
What follows are two things: the unfortunately needed legal disclaimer on the conditions of using this info, and
lastly the actual description of what I did to fix my own fridge. Make no mistake, you will be fiddling with
components controlling wall-outlet levels of electricity, so if you haven’t ever done something like this, find a friend
who has or call in your local Maytag repair man.
In researching a fix for the fridge at 3am 7/5/07 after my fridge started the above symptoms, I located a number of
sites that had reference to this problem. The SARM actually had a description of a tech going to his friend with the
electronics shop and he repaired the board, it was re-installed, and seems to be working. Thus the inspiration for
my attempt, which as of the writing, is about 2 days running without problem.
I consider myself handy, and an electronics hobbyist, hence why I decided to try performing the work myself. That
plus I was looking at a minimum $300 repair bill to replace the HV Control Board and since it was going to be
replaced anyway, I was willing to spend $5 in parts to save the $300.
So without further delay, please carefully read BOTH sections, and good luck !
- Steve
