Possible Causes

Low water level in reservoir, partially clogged water inlet valve, misadjusted ice thickness sensor, scaled water distribution tube

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and water before disassembly.

  • Check water level: Inspect the reservoir during operation. If low, clean the water level float and ensure proper operation.
  • Clean distribution tube: Remove and clean the water distribution tube or spray bar to ensure even water flow over the evaporator.
  • Adjust thickness: If your Maytag model allows, slightly increase the ice thickness setting per the manual.
  • Inspect inlet valve: Clean the inlet screen and replace the valve if flow remains weak.
