Possible Solutions

Was the water filter recently replaced?

If the water filter was just replaced or installed, ensure that the filter was installed correctly. If the water filter is not seated properly, it can cause no or low ice production and water not to dispense properly. Try removing the water filter and reinstalling it.

Does the water filter need to be replaced?

It is recommended that the Maytag water filter be replaced every 6 months, when the indicator light comes on, or as needed. Replacing your water filter regularly helps to ensure a continual supply of cleaner, fresh-tasting drinking water. Depending on your usage and water quality, it may need to be changed more frequently. A clogged or incorrectly installed water filter can reduce the water flow to the ice maker and dispenser, potentially causing low ice production and a slowed water flow. Maytag recommends using everydrop® water filters. Find the right replacement filter for your refrigerator, and make the simple switch for clean water year-round.

Do you have the correct water pressure?

Hollow or small ice cubes, along with slow or no water dispensing, are likely due to low water pressure. Connecting a refrigerator to a reverse-osmosis system could also lower the water pressure to the refrigerator, which will result in small ice cubes, low ice production, or a decreased amount of water being dispensed.
