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
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
- 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
