How Maytag Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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 Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- Freezer not freezing. Start by clearing out an overpacked freezer, because crowded shelves can block airflow to the evaporator fan. Source: Maytag - Why Is My Freezer Not Freezing?
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
