How Maytag Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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 Symptoms and First Checks
- Ice maker leaking. Check first that the refrigerator is level, because a tilted unit can keep water from going where it should. Source: Maytag - Ice Maker Leaking Water
- 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
The Maytag Ice Maker Test
