Maytag french door refrigerator ice maker leaking.

Check the defrost drain to determine if it is clogged or frozen. Use a sturdy container to press and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds then release it for 5 seconds. One reason a maytag ice maker may leak is because the freezer or ice maker is not level. The air in the water system may cause dripping at the dispenser or small hollow ice cubes.

First ensure that ice is not jammed in the ejector arm of the ice maker. A blocked defrost drain is one of the most common causes. The valve requires a minimum of 20psi to work properly. Remove jammed ice from the ejector arm using only a plastic utensil so the ice maker is not damaged.

Occasionally the drain and drain line can freeze causing water to begin to accumulate in the bottom of the freezer and begin to leak from the freezer onto the kitchen floor. If that doesn t work a problem with the water supply line fill cup inlet switch or inlet valve may cause the leak. The water inlet valve supplies water to the refrigerator ice and water dispenser. Flushing the water system forces air from the water line after the refrigerator has been installed or the water filter has been replaced.

The freezer is a tilt door sliding drawer and there is an ice maker on the left side as you face the refrigerator read more. Melting the ice from. If the defrost drain is frozen thaw the ice. If the water pressure is too low the valve may not close fully when the power is shut off.

This happens when food particles or other debris clog up the drain hose. Repeat until water begins to flow. This water can eventually leak onto the floor. If the defrost drain is frozen the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment.

A person can clear up leaks quickly with a level. As a result the valve leaks water into the ice maker causing it to overflow. Flushing the system is needed every time the filter is changed or once the refrigerator is installed to the water supply line for the first time.
