Ice maker makes ice very slowly, production much lower than normal

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or internal parts.

• Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coil to improve heat rejection.
• Check room temperature: Ensure the unit is in a room within Maytag's specified temperature range.
• Descale system: Run a full cleaning cycle with ice machine cleaner to remove scale from the evaporator and water paths.
• Inspect pump: Verify the circulation pump is running strongly and evenly distributing water. Replace if weak or noisy.
