Know Your Maytag Ice Maker
How Maytag Ice Makers and Freezers Work
Maytag specifies 1/4-inch soft copper or PEX supply tubing with a service loop, and warns that pushing the refrigerator too far back can pinch the line and cut flow to the ice maker. Source: Maytag Product Help - How to Troubleshoot the Freestanding Ice Maker
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
What Maytag Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
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

Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for Arlington, TX
Most ice maker calls in Arlington 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.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
