Maytag MQF1656TEW Upright Freezer

Model # MQF1656TEW

On the MQF1656TEW the usual complaints trace back to the defrost drain, door seal or cold control, not to the sealed or drive system behind it. Reading the plate first avoids the common problem of a part that fits the family but not the build.

seal cleaning, defrosting where required and keeping the drain clear is the sensible limit for an owner here; work carried out by somebody who is not an authorized technician can affect what the warranty still covers.

Key Features

  • Full-height door gasket sealing against a flat cabinet face
  • Front-opening upright cabinet with fixed and door shelving
  • Frost-free or manual-defrost operation depending on the variant
  • Mechanical or electronic cold control by build
