We got to know the Maytag repairman really well!, October 10, 2006We bought our unit on 09/01/2005. On 09/27/2005, we had our first service call: "Temp in upper part of unit is at 63 degrees; adjust damper." (I'm copying this from the receipt.) On 10/11/2005, we had our… second service call: "Unit no longer dispenses water." On 11/17/2005, we had our third service call: "Water dispenser froze up after 10/11 service." On 12/08/2005, we had our fourth service call: "Water dispenser frozen again." On 12/29/2005, we had our fifth service call: "Water dispenser is freezing again." On 02/14/2006, we had our sixth service call: "Water tank freezing. Tech adv to replace control board." Upon replacement of the electronic control board, the problems ceased. Needless to say, however, we were not pleased with having to deal with these issues, which spanned a period of five months. In all fairness, the issues were covered by the warranty, which Maytag agreed to extend an additional six months. However, I cannot in good conscience recommend the unit.

Review: Maytag White 20 Cu. Ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator with Triple Cool System, Contributors to Sears.com
The Maytag MFC2061HEW earns an average of four stars (out of five) in a few owner reviews here. Although comments are mostly positive, one owner says the doors don't close properly and another says the refrigerator isn't really counter-depth -- it sticks out about 3 inches beyond her counters.
