Only One Temperature control on my fridge?

i just bought a new fridge, it is a maytag with a top freezer. the model is, MTN1854VS. I didnt notice at the time of purchase that it only has one temperature control and its in the fridge. The freezer doesnt have its own temperature control? ive never noticed this before with any other fridge? is this going to cause problems at somepoint as far as the fridge being to cold or the freezer to warm, etc etc. I have 30 days to return the fridge, would you recommend me doing so and getting a fridge with dual temp controls??Only One Temperature control on my fridge?
There are a lot of Fridge/ Freezers that only have one thermostat. Your fridge takes it's temperature from the freezer. Your F/F has a small flap, which is controled via the thermostat in the chiller (telling it when to open %26amp; close). I don't exactly know how your freezer is controlled (never worked on one of yours as here in the UK we don't have Maytags!) but it will be either :





a. A built in control which switches the freezer off at -18oC (0 F)


b. The freezer begins to refrigerated long before the fridge (for a set amount of time) %26amp; then that flap opens. When the fridge gets down to temperature the thermostat closes that flap %26amp; turns off the freezer. It sounds bizarre, as it's not certain if the freezer is down to temp. However, here in the UK most up %26amp; down F/F are controlled in this manner, %26amp; few (if none) have problems with temperature because of this.





The short answer is that you shouldn't be worried about it having one thermostat, it won;t effect the performance of your fridge/ freezer %26amp; %26amp; will be just as good as one with two stats.





Hope That Helps!

you said this is a new refrigerator. when it was delivered there should have been an operating manual as well as a receipt for the purchase. Contact the store where it was purchased(phone # on receipt) and speak with the salesperson that sold you the item or his supervisor. that individual should be able to answer all your questions, and if needed direct you to where you can get an additional operation manual (if needed) and also direct you to the 800 phone no. for your nearest maytag repair center if needed.
I wouldn't recommend doing anything until I asked a professional why there's only one, and the pluses and minuses of it.





I'm also guessing the answer is in the owner's manual.





Do your research. Then make the decision. You liked it when you bought it.
