Know Your Maytag Ice Maker
What a Maytag Technician Deals With
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
- 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
- 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
