How Maytag Ice Makers and Freezers Work
Depending on the model, the ice maker sits either in the freezer compartment or in the fresh food door (Store-N-Door and In-Door-Ice systems). Source: Maytag - Refrigerators
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
Common Maytag Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Ice dispenser not working. Make sure the control lock and Sabbath mode are off, break up clumped ice with a plastic utensil, and confirm an in-door ice bin is fully snapped in place. Source: Maytag Product Help - Not Dispensing Ice - Refrigerator
- Frost buildup in freezer. Inspect and clean the door seals, avoid warm or uncovered food and frequent door openings, and defrost once frost is about 1/4 inch thick. Source: Maytag Product Help - How to Avoid Frost Build Up
Testing or Resetting a Maytag Ice Maker
Maytag says to press and hold the ice maker's reset button for a few seconds if the model has one, or otherwise unplug the refrigerator for one minute, then allow a couple of hours before checking for ice. Source: Maytag Product Help - Not Making Ice - Refrigerator
Maytag Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
