How Maytag Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
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
What Maytag Says to Check First
- Small or hollow cubes. Maytag points to the water line, so check it for kinks, bulges or damage and consider copper tubing. Source: Maytag - Ice Maker Troubleshooting
- 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
Maytag Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
