My ice maker on my Maytag wide by side isn't working. There seems to be ice in the tray but it will not cycle and drop the ice cubes... Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

Could be the motor in the ice make is bad. Can you remove the front cover on the module to test? If you get it off and have test holes available on the front a voltmeter post back and I will give you the test procedures

esquire1, does the cover just pop off the motor... I've tried to pull the cover off, but I'm afraid of breaking it if I use much more pressure... I do have a voltmeter...
Thanks for the help...

Yes, use a coin or small flat screwdriver or table knife. Don not force it though, it should just unsnap
