I have no complaints about the temperature in my Maytag fridge, and
stuff int he freezer stays frozen. What I don't like about it is that
the door shelves sometimes fall off. Thanks to those adjustable shelves
being insecure, the butter tray fell off and the roll-up top broke. I
ordered a new one. That was in May. I ordered a new one through the
local Maytag dealer and I still don't have it.
