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
- 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
- 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
Testing or Resetting a Maytag Ice Maker
