What a Maytag Technician Deals With
Icy water can refreeze on the stripper and form an ice bridge that jams the harvest fingers, which Maytag says should be cleared with a plastic utensil only. Source: Maytag Product Help - How to Troubleshoot the Freestanding Ice Maker
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
- 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
Maytag Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call

What Otsego Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Otsego come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
