Why is my Maytag French Door food temperature too warm?

  Holly WilliamsJul 26, 2025
  Several factors can cause the food temperature in your Maytag refrigerator to be too warm. The door may not be closing correctly because the refrigerator isn't level; in this case, leveling the refrigerator should solve this. Also, the controls might need adjustment. The condenser coils could be dirty, requiring cleaning. A blocked rear air grille, located under the crisper drawers, can also cause this issue, so ensure it is not obstructed by food items. Frequent or prolonged door openings can also raise the temperature; reduce the time the door is open and organize food for efficient access. Finally, recently added food needs time to cool down to the refrigerator's temperature.
