Stopped making ice after making grinding noise. Water runs fine to the door dispenser. Have turned off & removed the inner panel that covers the condenser coils. The big tube to the upper left that looks like it's covered in modeling clay appears to have melted the claylike substance off of it. Have not plugged in yet to see if it was just a frozen water line. That tubelike part just looks wrong though. Can't seem to locate any schematics anywhere so that I know exactly what that part is called though. Any thoughts? Thanks!
I have a feeling that the condenser has overheated due to lack of ventilation or overload... in which case it could be stuffed! same happened to mine and had that clay stuff melting as well... took it to an aircon mechanic and he had a look and said new parts would cost more than a new ice maker :( that suckt! lol! so bought new one....

I have had the same problem with different problems each time. The first time the stop lever came loose on one end. This resulted in the ice maker remaining in the off position but looked like iWhen I removed that it worked again. Hope this helps
I need you to double check the model number. Maytag has a service library at this link. http://www.servicematters.com/maytag_library/html/index.html
By placing the first 3 letters in the search feature it will take you to models like yours. Chose the correct model that you have and enter the number in the search. I believe that the water control valve on back of your refrigerator is the problem. Maytag is very good about helping their customers. Let me know if you have problems gettting the information you need, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Hi, You can use a hair dryer to thaw the inlet tube out. Some mofeld will aloow you to remove the inlet tube from behind the refrigerator. If yours can be removed, this would be the easiest way.
If the tube plugs up again, you should replace the inlet valve. Thhey sometimes will drip a little causing the inlet tube to freeze.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Here I am going to give you a lot of information. Because of the leaking your defrost condensate drain is most likely the reason. All on the page below may not be for your situation and some refrigerators do this over a period of time and the the water has no were to go but the freezer during defrost.

HOW TO FIX A LEAKING REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
Testimonial: "Thanks Sea Breeze! The photos do show a bit of a different arrangement than what is on the back of my fridge but I'll try what you suggested."
SOURCE: Maytag MSD2754GR - Ice Maker quit working.
Is the freezer cold enough? Should be close to 10 degrees.
Is there water or ice in the ice mold? If not put water in
it and see if it dumps the ice after it’s frozen. If there is ice, lift the cut off arm and let
it drop to see if it will start.
If it does dump the ice but don’t refill with water.
Try swapping the wires on the dual water inlet valve. Then
try the water dispenser. The water should go to the ice maker. This will tell
you weather or not the ice maker valve is working and if the line is clear.
Testimonial: "Good trouble shooting tips...will give them a try and see how they go, THANKS!"
