Water dispenser in my Maytag french door refer has suddenly stopped
working. We use it every day and the filter seems to be fine. It almost sounds like it is frozen. Please Help!!!
We have a hd2560 (bot 10/04), french door with inside water dispenser and it had stopped working a year ago, but started working a few months later. I couldn't figure out what happened, but suspected the water line was frozen. I later found out that the water reservoir is located behind the fruit and vegetable bins, so look there to see if the water is frozen.
Two weeks ago, our frig/compressor stopped cooling after making humming/clicking sounds for weeks. Fortunately, Maytag has a 5 yr parts & labor warranty on the compressor, so we were covered. Evidently, there are quite a few faulty compressors out there.
I believe that the compressor had been over-cooling in the past and caused the water lines/tank to freeze. This would also cause frozen produce/fruit. I would immediately contact Maytag/Whirlpool if you suspect a faulty compressor as well.
This model of Maytag has chronic compressor problems which may cause the above, but it may just be too cold because you've got the fridge set too cold or too many items to allow good air flow. Check the temp near the back by the water tank with a thermometer.

I have to replace the handles due to damage and I cannot figure out how to get the old ones off. Normally there is a tiny screw in the side, but there is none.
