I have a Maytag MSD2542VEW01 - efeca318-e2b8-4558-9143-e4e40ef73b8e.jpgI had the same issue. Mine was due to a broken plastic piece that holds the flapper. In my case it looks like there is not a easy fix. Take it apart and check for missing peices

    P.S. The pictures are from the same model as the original question. The first is after the flapper was removed and the second was before.

SOURCE: No water or ice through door

I had the same problem. Trap door in fridge door opens, but trap door between freezer and fridge was coated in frost, so didn't open. Scrape off ice from flap (located under where the control buttons are - look up there and you'll see it!) and bingo! Fixed.

SOURCE: maytag side by side fridge water dispenser not working

there are two water inlet valves on the back of refrigerator, one for icemaker the other for water in door. the valve for the water inlet is plugged or the soelinoid coil is bad. replace faulty valve, usually about 20 to 30 greenbacks at the appliance parts store

SOURCE: Water dispenser works, ice maker makes ice but doe not dispense

Remove the ice bucket/container from inside the freezer compartment. Examine underneath at the front of the container to see if ice cubes are lodged between the metal blades. If cubes are caught in this area, they will prevent ice from dropping into the glass/cup.

Maytag MSD2756GE ice maker issue. makes ice fine. While dispensing water in the door, it also fills the ice tray at the same time. Water comes out ice fill tube AND door. If no water is called for at the...

This is an odd one!The water control valves has separate sets of wiring that travel through the dispenser control board. That gives an opportunity for strange things to happen as mentioned in your post. If you haven't replaced the dual water control valve and put the wires back wrong the next thing will be to test the 61005274 Dispenser Control Board

If you have a OHM meter and a voltage testing meter I don't mind helping you to test the wires and 61005274 Dispenser Control Board I can send you to a link to view the wiring diagram and walk you through the diagnostics. Let me know, Thank you, John T

My Maytag msd2556ae will not dispense water throught the door. It makes ice just fine, and will dispense ice through the door, but not water. I've replaced the filter in the fridge, but no change.

There could be a blockage of its iced up. A complete defrost might fix it.
you'll have to leave it switched off with the doors open for 24 hrs.

Ice dispenser appearing to get stuck in the open

The noise is probably the solenoid which operates the door or the one that switches it from cube to crushed ice. Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} You'll have to look to see what's wrong.

Remove the dispenser cover by gently prying starting at the bottom going round and round a little at a time to prevent from breaking it. When it's off the screws will be exposed to access the other components.
Here's a diagram of the dispenser which may help.

Why is the ice maker and water dispensing panel on my refrigerator flashing? The Ice door at the dispenser is also opening and closing every three seconds. Water and ice are also not dispensing

I called a repair man to fix this problem - "FixYa" was absolutely useless in this case. Turns out there was a short on the control board and it needed to be replaced.

The switch on Maytag water and ice dispenser hangs

Need to enquire from the agents if that dispenser switch is available as a spare part. If so, switch off and strip carefully as logic shows you.

Mf12568aeb lights flashing and ice door flapping

You will have to call Maytag at 1-800-688-9900...Motherboard is bad. You can pull out the little plate at the bottom of the water/ice dispenser, then unscrew the two screw. Pull on the bottom and the panel should come out. Unplug the white connector on the left. This will stop the flapping of the ice dispenser flap.
