Hazard

An electrical failure in the relay, the component that turns on the refrigerator's compressor, can cause overheating and pose a serious fire hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately contact Maytag to determine if their refrigerator is included in the recall and to schedule a free in-home repair. Consumers should not return the refrigerator to the retailer where it was purchased.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
