What Makes Maytag Ice Maker Repairs Different

What Maytag Says to Check First
- Ice maker frozen / ice buildup. Pull the ice bin and chip away built-up ice with a plastic knife, or defrost the freezer if the buildup is too large, and check for a frozen or kinked water line. Source: Maytag - Ice Maker Troubleshooting
