I have a Maytag refrigerator (model MSD2454GR)side by side. It has two problem. We cannot keep the icemaker working. Ever since we bought it, the ice maker will stop working. When it was under warranty, it stopped and the company we bought it from sent someone out and they replaced the computer. Now it is no longer under warranty and it has stopped working again. We have replaced the pump but it still doesn't work and we've been told its not the computer?? Any ideas? Two, water is leaking is the freezer and freezing at the bottom where the drawer is-we can't see water leaking but obviously it is coming from somewhere... Please advise... Thanks Kandy

So how many times has the ice maker stopped working? seems like you are having bad luck with these ice makers. One of the problems is the electronic modules on those models do that but I really don't know what may be causing yours to go so many times. yes the control board sometimes will stop them but it will stop a lot of other things too if that was the reason. Sounds to me the technician took advantage on that call just to put one in. The computer does have something to do with power but I think he or she took advantage of you. Now if you can pour tap water into the tray slots and it will freeze and drop the ice then the water control valve is the problem. You know I could make enough money just being honest with the customer. Try the water trick and let me know what happens and we will decide from there, OK? Thanks, Sea Breeze.

Unplug fridge from outlet.Pull fridge away from the wall and undo 6 screws on back black felt. Take everything out of freezer including 3 shelves and bottom drawer. the bottom drawer has two catch tabs on the top that pinch to release. (my whole drawer was frozen to the bottom of freezer, used a screwdriver to break up) Undo the two screws towards the middle of fridge and remove the two white panels. the bottom one slides up and out. break up the ice and under the metal there is a hole that leads to a drain tube and into a drain pan. I used a hairdryer to melt ice inside tube and poured a cup of boiling water into tube to clear. You should see the water collect in the drain pan from behind the fridge. I used a sponge to soak up the extra water after. Reassemble and plug back in.

Sea Breeze - you rock! Follow instructions in your link. I was doing everything except the last steps of running hot water down the defrost condensate drain and using the wet/dry vac to **** out and clean out the drain hose.
Damn if I haven't been deaking with this problem for like a year. Every month I would be cleaning out the freeze and getting rid of the ice. If it continues, then I'm going to try your condensate drain heater rig

I have this same fridge. For a long time I thought my ice maker did not work either and I also found water had spilled inside the freezer. It was frozen at the bottom and on the contents of the freezer. It turn out to be the tube that feeds water into the ice maker was not inserted properly. I am not sure how it became loose but inserting in into the ice maker fixed it. The tube is in the upper left hand corner and feeds into the ice maker in the back end.
