Maytag skybox not dispensing

The machine is getting cold but it's not dispensing. I made sure all of the "child locks" are in the up position and off, made sure the plug in the corner of the door and unit is plugged in, and made sure one row is full enough to where it should turn off the light but it's still not droping product and the low or empty light stays on all the time.

What do i need to do?

Skybox is not dispencing any pops,when you push the button noting

Check the wiring harness at the bottom of the door AND the child lockout switches at each bin. The switches disable the bin in the down position.

Skybox is freezing and making a humming noice.

The temperature in the SkyBox is controlled by the thermostat located within the beverage compartment. If set too high, product can feeze. In addition ice will build up behind the dispenser assembly. The ice buildup can eventually make contact with the circulating fan blade and cause a constant noise.
You should hear the compressor stop running as you turn down the cold control, but prior to reaching the "off" position. Select a lower setting for the cold control, and unplug the unit for 24 hours with door open to thaw out the ice build up. Reconnect power to resume normal operation.

Hi my skybox stop cooling

The SkyBox operates with two individual systems. The dispenser assembly, the LED indicators and the circulating fan operate on a low voltage circuit. The circulating fan runs anytime the SkyBox is plugged in.

The cooling system operates on 120vac. The cold control inside the beverage compartment is an on demand switch that sends 120vac to the compressor when cooling is needed. There are no parts available for the compressor, so if it determined that power is reaching the compressor, the windings are ok, a 3 in1 hard start kit (Supco URCO210) can be installed by a qualified service technician.

Cannot get soda to dispense

I have intermittent problems with one dispenser and disassembled the system and swapped drive motors for the dispensers. The problem followed the motor. Partselect.com shows that they sell the individual rack assemblies but I have not yet ordered one. I am trying electrical supply stores to see if I can just buy the motor but I doubt they will be able to track it as it has no markings.

Won't dispense anything

It is either a bad control board or a transformer.

Beer won't dispense, last one furthest to the right.

Have you checked the child-lock buttons?  They are located on the right side of the machine and are accessible only when the door is opened.

Maytag Skybox Beverage Dispenser/Refrigerator

TroJo, Try PartSelect.com for Skybox parts. I ordered a part on Monday night and installed it on Wednesday night. The parts are not that hard to find. Appliance repair services can replace your compressor or add freon. Be sure you have plenty of ventilation behind your machine. Jonmon

Maytag Sky Box Won't dispence

Since it's only one dispensor unit you should be able to eliminate "common" items and find out what controls just that one dispensor. The faint click may be from a bad relay (relay coil works but doesn't pass voltage on contacts). You will likely have to take the thing apart to check the control board. Here's a diagram of the unit so you can see where everything is at. I'd suspect the control board relay that controls that particular dispensor is bad or a loose wire, etc. http://www.partselect.com/Schematics/Maytag/VM10-1.gif
