Maytag Refrigerator Repair - Not Producing Ice - Ice Maker

[@georgehagan3945]

Very helpful, thank you. May I suggest that you turn the refer-freezer off for a while and let the plastic and wire harness warm up, it was a struggle to remove the icemaker with the materials being frozen. I had a water line and icemaker freeze up while on vacation, the fill port was frozen along with the fill tube and ice maker. After allowing the unit to thaw, I reassembled all the parts and turned the refer back on and in a few hours I was back into ice production. No new ice maker needed, however the video on how to remove these components was extremely helpful, could not have done the job without these video tutorials.

[@rhondabenedict5284]

I unplugged my refrigerator and used a blow dryer to speed up the process..

[@fedmunds6960]

I wanted to say a big "Thank You" for this video. I knew this ice maker slid out but no one and no information told me how until this video. I have to do this about every 10 months in order to clear an ice block in the top of the ice maker. Now, that is an easy task. Bad design but thanks to you, now i can deal with it.

Great video. Thank you very much. Getting the L side cover off baffled me initially, even w the explanation. Once tab is depressed, slide the cover towards the refrigerator door and it comes off. Putting back, position the clip along L side of refrigerator at bottom inside slot enclosure. The cover tabs slide in at motor end, and cover slides over protruding tab at door end.

[@orlandoherrera2186]

Thanks for this’s video. I was able to remove the ice maker and found ice in the ice funnel. Hopefully this resolves the issue

[@jpetty47]

I'm wondering if the wire connector wasn't plugged all the way in and that's why the icemaker wasn't working?

[@smith7208]

Nice video. Closes ups of how to remove the ice maker with the screwdriver and how to remove the plug would have helped.

[@jcarney909]

This video saved me. The plastic clips to get the icemaker out had me baffled. Thanks for everything you guys do!

[@larrysfarris]

I have what appears to be the same model used in this video. What is the cost to buy a new ice maker part like this?

[@blingthingschar6530]

not making ice. don't know if it is filling with water. I can use the water dispenser from the front to get water. How do I test to knecow if I need to replace the icemaker itself? Thanks great vid

[@squallleonardo]

same problem here, let know if u made it

[@johnmichaels12]

my ice maker had water that froze "underneath" the ice maker tray preventing the ice maker to rotate , you cant tell unless you remove it , i removed ice maker and let it thaw ,reinstalled and it worked , also there is a water hose made of soft rubber that that hangs down from the top that fills the tray , you have to pull or push " hard" past the hose to remove or reinstall unit

[@phamasite]

thanks. I did not know it was so tricky to take the ice maker out

[@rhondabenedict5284]

Along with myself, there are a couple of other comments asking for suggestions on how to keep the icemaker pushed back when the side clips are broken off, since there seems to be no replacement part for this... Any suggestions??? Thank you 😊

Maytag ice maker works but won’t dispense ice and won’t open. I have not been able to open it for about a yr. I removed all food and let it thaw but button to open it won’t release. Is there another way to open it other than the button?

[@captjester]

Thank you for the help. I replaced the icemaker but when I slid the ice maker back in the water hose at the top bends back and doesn't drop back into the funnel for the ice maker. There isn't too much room at the top. Any tricks that you might be able to share?

[@captjester]

+captjester I got it, I smashed a long piece of cardboard as flat as I could get it, slid that on the top of the ice maker and the ceiling of the refridgerator. I slid the ice maker all the way in (with some work), the pulled the cardboard out carefully and the refill hose went into place.

[@m3rdpwr]

I have the Maytag MFI2269VEA1. It keeps making ice, the lever is stuck up. Can it be repaired, or am I looking at replacing the ice maker? Thank you.

[@m3rdpwr]

So I took it apart as shown in the video. Mine was slightly different. I took the front motor assembly off the ice maker, 3 screws. @ 4:02 in video. I pulled out the cam that connected the fill/empty lever. I also squeezed those copper channels that the front pins connected to for electrical. I did notice the cam motor was in a position that was not normal, maybe half way through the cycle. Put it all together and flicked the switch. Water started filling and I heard a motor. Arm is now down again. So, I think there was either a bad electrical connection, under the front motor cover, or the cam lever was jammed. Anyway, thanks for the video!

We have the exact same fridge. The clip on the front of our ice maker housing broke so it will not stay closed. ie, it pops open when ice is dispensed. Is there any way to replace the housing case? I do not see it on the Maytag parts list.

Is there any interlock for if someone had switch on with no water hooked up for an extended period of time to prevent fill solenoid from staying energized? Just moved into a house with this same ice maker and I have no water deliver to sump. As I stated when I first looked at it switch was on and I just hooked up water supply. There is flow to door dispenser. No wiring diagram just wondering what sequence of operation is.

It pulls straight out with a little force

[@frankw645]

I had trouble getting it out as well. I actually broke the top tab…but it seems to fit back ok. I think the bottom was not fitting “square” to had to wiggle it a bunch

[@johnhobbs3417]

I have a Maytag MSD2756AEB and the ice and water dispenser control panel does not have any lights on it when you request an operation all was working before the maintenance man was here. Reason for service call was freezer was not defrosting this part is fine now. Is there and internal fuse? and where is the control board for the ice maker? I find no reference to either of these in KZbin.

Press the ice bin rearward towards the back of the fridge as you press the release button, then while still holding the button, pull the tray forward. That’s how mine works, there must be an edge locking it up
