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

Before You Call: The Maytag Reset

Care Maytag Recommends

• 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
• On freezers without automatic defrost, defrost and clean the unit when frost reaches about 1/4 inch thick, and at least once a year. Source: Maytag Product Help - How to Avoid Frost Build Up
