Hi,

Pour about 2/3 cup of water into the ice maker . If it freezes and dumps , replace the water valve ( the piece the wall water line connects to on the refrig ) . If it freezes and does not dump , replace the ice maker . Also check the rake ( rotating arm ) , to see if a small piece of ice could be blocking it , keeping it from turning . If so , the small cube could be an indication of not enough water going into the ice maker ( replace the water valve ) .

It sounds like your refrigerant is leaking out. Without proper test gear you can't confirm this, but the first thing that happens is it stops cooling.
You need to call out a qualified refrigeration engineer to check it. You may be able to see oil at the back of the fridge around the leaking joint. Do not leave it switched on and running if you have a leak. Have you smelt anything unusual recently? The gas isn't dangerous in the quantities you would have from a leak unless it is exposed to a naked flame. Then it breaks down into a gas similar to mustard gas which was used during the first world war. If you didn't notice the smell of the refrigerant gas, you won't miss it if it is around a naked flame.

Just unplug the frig and open the freezer and let it defrost. Put the frozen items in the frig to keep them cold. Keep the frig closed if possible. You can assist the defrosting by blowing a window fan into the freezer. The room temp will defrost it quickly, or set a blow dryer on LOW and direct toward ice. Careful don't take the chance and turn that dryer on heat. And DO NOT CHIP ICE with a sharp object (patience is free). You may need to physically remove the water as the ice melts. - The source of the ice is probably condensation, or if it happens very quickly, there may be a ice maker leak. Once defrosted replace the frozen items and watch for cause of ice.

Try using an hairdryer or defrosting the unit completely , this often get rid of blockage caused by frozen lines fixing the problem.

The water lines can also be unblocked from dirt using a thin flexible shaft. This after defrosting.

If all that does not fix the problem, then you may need to replace the water valve, the icemaker solenoid, or the whole icemaker assembly.

it sound like to me that it's freezing up. make sure that theres plenty of room aroound the food in the freezer for air flow and also is the gasket ariung the freezer in good condition? also is it clean and making good contact with the unit?

it should hook up to a water line with a coupling at the bottom of the freezer door. take the kickploate off and then look underneith the refrigeraqtor and there should be a clear plastic tube there3 to hook up to.

On my Refrigerator Doors, there are Screws either on the top or bottom of the DOOR that besides holding the door on, also move it up and down to put it into alignment.
Hope this helps.

Bad water valve, selenoid not closing all the way. Replace water valve. Part# is 67005154

It sounds like the ice in the bin is warming up enough to melt for some reason then re-freeze. Check your door gasket seal and also the ice chute door flapper seal to make sure warm room air isn't being drawn into the ice bin area. Also make sure the freezer area is VERY cold like 0 degrees F or lower, that will keep the ice hard and help stop the ice from having a liquid surface film from opening and closing the freezer door too often (then freezing again). The water down the back is from the ice cubes melting a little then re-freezing. Also, is the frige working OK? Does the compressor turn on and off normally? I ask because sometimes the compress start device is failing and the refer can warm up quite a bit while the compressor is trying to start up... eventually the compressor will start but by then the ice has melted a little then the compressor runs for a long time to bring the temps down again. Monitoring with a thermometer every hour will show if the temps are lowering in the freezer section too much.

PattyW Push it and hold it for 5 seconds. It wiil unlock it. Gendos post back....

Do you have power to the control board (item 17 in the diagram)?http://www.partselect.com/Schematics/Maytag/AA58-16.gif

To connect the water supply using a plastic hose kit to the MBB1954G UNIT, you can follow these steps: Turn off the water supply valve under the sink. Remove the old hose from the water supply valve and the back of the refrigerator. Attach the new plastic hose to the water supply valve and the back of the refrigerator. Make sure the hose is not kinked or twisted. Tighten the fittings with an adjustable wrench. Turn on the water supply valve and check for leaks. Here is a video tutorial that demonstrates how to install a water line to an ice maker or refrigerator using a 5 foot hose with 1/4 inch compression fittings. INSTALLING ICE MAKER / REFRIGERATOR WATER LINE - using 1/4" compression hose (youtube.com)

you can add water filter. It is installed on supply line. go to Home Depot and pick up a refrigerator water filter kit with accessories.

inspect the ice make to check for any sign of visible damage or misalignment, .and unplug the fridge and plug it again
