What a Maytag Technician Deals With
Maytag specifies 1/4-inch soft copper or PEX supply tubing with a service loop, and warns that pushing the refrigerator too far back can pinch the line and cut flow to the ice maker. Source: Maytag Product Help - How to Troubleshoot the Freestanding Ice Maker
Chest and upright freezers usually have their condenser coils built into the cabinet walls where they can't be reached, while refrigerator-freezer combinations may have external coils that can be vacuumed. Source: Maytag - Freezer Troubleshooting
Maytag Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
The Maytag Ice Maker Test
Maytag says to press and hold the ice maker's reset button for a few seconds if the model has one, or otherwise unplug the refrigerator for one minute, then allow a couple of hours before checking for ice. Source: Maytag Product Help - Not Making Ice - Refrigerator

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
- 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?
