Maytag Ice and Freezer Features
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
Chest and upright freezers usually have their condenser coils built into the cabinet walls where they can't be reached, while refrigerator-freezer combinations may have external coils that can be vacuumed. Source: Maytag - Freezer Troubleshooting
What Maytag Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
Testing or Resetting a Maytag Ice Maker
Maytag says to press and hold the ice maker's reset button for a few seconds if the model has one, or otherwise unplug the refrigerator for one minute, then allow a couple of hours before checking for ice. Source: Maytag Product Help - Not Making Ice - Refrigerator
