What a Maytag Technician Deals With
Icy water can refreeze on the stripper and form an ice bridge that jams the harvest fingers, which Maytag says should be cleared with a plastic utensil only. Source: Maytag Product Help - How to Troubleshoot the Freestanding Ice Maker
Maytag says the ice maker's water valve needs at least 20 psi to work, with a healthy supply running roughly 30 to 120 psi, and that kinks, clogs or a filter older than six months can starve it of water. Source: Maytag - Ice Maker Troubleshooting
