Maytag Ice and Freezer Features
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
Depending on the model, the ice maker sits either in the freezer compartment or in the fresh food door (Store-N-Door and In-Door-Ice systems). Source: Maytag - Refrigerators
Common Maytag Ice Maker and Freezer Problems

- 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
