Maytag Refrigerator COOLING OFF Error Code
If your Maytag refrigerator is displaying COOLING OFF, this guide explains what it means,
what you can safely check, and when professional diagnosis may be needed.
COOLING OFF
Applicable models
What does COOLING OFF mean on a Maytag refrigerator?
Cooling is switched off, so the refrigerator and freezer will not cool.
Definitions can vary by model or platform, so compare the code with information for your exact model before replacing parts.
What you can try
Turn cooling back on using the model-specific control procedure. A common method is holding LOCK + MEASURED FILL together for 3 seconds.
Before booking a repair
- Confirm the displayed error code and your appliance model number.
- Check relevant external issues such as a blocked filter, kinked hose, open door, interrupted power, or restricted airflow.
- If a power reset is appropriate for the appliance, turn it off safely and restart it once.
- If the code returns, avoid repeated resets and arrange diagnosis.
Safety note
Disconnect electrical power before accessing internal components.
Do not open sealed, gas, high-voltage, or refrigerant systems unless qualified to service them.
These steps are general guidance and do not replace service information for your exact model.
