Know Your Maytag Ice Maker
What Makes Maytag Ice Maker Repairs Different
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
Maytag specifies 1/4-inch soft copper or PEX supply tubing with a service loop, and warns that pushing the refrigerator too far back can pinch the line and cut flow to the ice maker. Source: Maytag Product Help - How to Troubleshoot the Freestanding Ice Maker
What Maytag Says to Check First
- Freezer too cold. Confirm the setting is within about a degree of 0°F, make sure food isn't blocking vents or the evaporator fan, and turn off an ice maker that isn't connected to water. Source: Maytag - What to Do If Your Freezer Is Too Cold
- 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
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
Signs Your Maytag Ice Maker Needs a Technician
- Water leaking from the ice maker or dispenser
- Small, hollow or misshapen cubes
- No ice at all, or only a few cubes a day

Keeping a Maytag Ice Maker and Freezer Running
- Keep the freezer at about 0°F; Maytag says the ice maker stops producing above about 5°F, and a setting that is far too low can freeze water before it reaches the mold. Source: Maytag - Ice Maker Troubleshooting
- If dispensed ice isn't used regularly, empty and clean the ice bin and chute about every two weeks, wiping the chute and bin bottom with a warm damp cloth and drying them well. Source: Maytag Product Help - Not Dispensing Ice - Refrigerator
