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 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
