In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Maytag Corporation is voluntarily recalling about 1.6 million side-by-side and top freezer refrigerators due to a potential fire hazard.

Check the refrigerator’s model/serial number label for a GREEN dot sticker which indicates that the unit has been repaired. If there is no GREEN dot sticker on the model/serial number label, inspect the compressor to determine its type. If the refrigerator has an Embraco compressor type EGY100, EGZ100 or EGU70, order and install: kit number W10247581.
The kit contains a new relay, two overloads, a jumper wire, a terminal cover, an instruction sheet, a green dot sticker and a consumer leave-behind brochure. Follow all of the instructions on the instruction sheet. Call 1-877-329-3304 for service related questions.
Upon completion of the repair, indicate R22553 in the authorization field on your work order and submit for labor payment. Do not list part on the claim as it has been provided for repair at no charge.
Call 1-888-678-8808 for questions or more information regarding claims submission and payment.
