What a Maytag Technician Deals With

Maytag Symptoms and First Checks
- 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?
- 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

Care Maytag Recommends
- 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

Local Notes for West University Place
Most ice maker calls in West University Place 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.

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.
