Have a Maytag refrigerator model # MFD2561HES with water dispenser with filter. Volume of water from the dispenser is down approx. 50 to 75%. I am unable to remove the filter. Apply the twist but no movement and I am concerned I will break the casing it sits in. Any suggestions. Thank you

-If it seal too tight and can't take it out. How about try this.
-Turn off the water
-Release water out of the tap.
-Now remove it. It should be easy to remove.

Good luck

I just went through this problem after a major power outage from our December 2007 ice storm. I was able to reset the controller (computer?) to factory defaults and the water dispenser started working. I think it was just confused!

Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today. Your water tank is frozen! Itson the back wall of the fresh food section if you look behind the drawers you will see it. Use a hair dryer and heat it untill you get water out of the dispenser. This is a common issue with this model.
Thank You and please rate my answer if it was helpful..

When water dispenser is pushed the water supply line rattles and very little water comes out. The water supply line has good pressure and the ice maker works. I also changed the filter.

Our water dispenser will work for about half a glass then the pressure immediately stops and the water flow goes to a small stream. Maytag MDZ2667HES Wide by Side. HELP! Filter was changed approx 3 months ago.

Maytag MFI2568AEW

the filter for this unit is located in teh upper right hand corner of the refrig ceiling. there is a thumb latch on the cover release teh cover and you will expose the filter. turn the filter 1/4 turn counter clockwise to release. then reinstall new filter. be sure to run approx. 1/2 gallon of water thru the dispenser after replacing filter to purge air from the lines. 
p.s the icemaker and water disp will not work without the filter in place. Have a Great Day! peyton

check your thermostat setting. you could have set it too low. if not , you can see and check if it uses a duct thermostat where in it supposed to close the duct if the temperature of the cabinet is already cold. it may be stuck open.
