Know Your Maytag Ice Maker
How Maytag Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
- 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?
- 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
Before You Call: The Maytag Reset
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
When to Call for Maytag Ice Maker Repair

Keeping a Maytag Ice Maker and Freezer Running
- Check door gaskets with the paper test: close the door on a sheet of paper and replace the seal if it slides out with little resistance. Source: Maytag - Why Is My Freezer Not Freezing?
- Keep the freezer at about 0°F; Maytag says the ice maker stops producing above about 5°F, and a setting that is far too low can freeze water before it reaches the mold. Source: Maytag - Ice Maker Troubleshooting

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.
