I found the following solution ONLINE about a year ago, so I'm copying and pasting what worked very well for me. You'll have to use your "gray matter", but it WILL solve your problem:
On this model if you push the water dispenser in for over 2 minutes without letting go, the control board locks out and you have to re-program the control board. Lets see if we can re-program the control board. Read these instructions before you start and the fridge must be plugged in to reboot. Press and hold the door alarm keypad Press and hold the freezer temp down pad Release the door alarm pad Wait 3 seconds then release the freezer down keypad The control should display PE to indicate you are in the programming mode. Entry is confirmed by pressing the freezer temp down pad once more. The control should display the current code. Your code is on the serial # XXXXX. Should be 0302. NOTE! If the correct code is not displayed the you will have to change the code. If the correct code is displayed , simply open the refrigerator door and the control will reboot. If the correct code is not displayed do the following: Press the refrigerator temperature up pad or the refrigerator down temp pad to change the digit value. The decimal point indicates the selected digit. Press the freezer temperature up pad to select the next digit. Once the desired program code is displayed press and hold the freezer temp down pad until the program code begins to flash. Then just wait and everything should reset. You have 3 minutes to do this reprogram or the unit will shut you out and you will need to start over! Now if that doesn't get your control board working again---the relay control board on the back is just shorted and unfortunately will need to be ordered and replaced to fix the issue. Please Don't Forget the deposit you placed to ask the question is not used to compensate me until you rate my service! Please Remember that when you are asked to give a rating, you are rating My Service and not this website itself or the problem of your appliance.
The code onb my refrigerator shows 1515, and also on the inside of refrigerator it shows code 1515. Should I do something different?
nope, that's good. So once you have entered the code then you just need to wait for the code to be accepted. Once the desired Program CODE is entered, press and hold the Freezer Temperature Down Keypad until the Program CODE begins flashing indicating it has been saved.
I pray you will succeed with this also since it save me a service call fee and Lord only knows what else !

First I would check your water filter. They are supposed to be changed every 6 months. That fixes most of these issues. If that doesn't solve the problem, make sure you didn't recently move the fridge and create a kink in the water line. If that was not the issue, then try placing your fingers in the ice tray, if it feels warm, it could be your ice maker heater control went bad. Need to replace your ice maker. However, if its both the water dispenser and ice... its not this! Finally, your freezer will stop making ice if you leave your fridge doors open all the time like my father in law. If the fridge is not up to temp, ie: cold enough, it will not make ice! These are some of the things to look for!

This appears to be the door switch is either bad or disconnected and has triggered an alarm mode to the display. If the unit is cooling ok then you should remove and check the switch with a meter.

SOURCE: Ice maker is not working anymore. Water doesn't fill the tub. Water dispenser out of the door is still working

I need you to double check the model number. Maytag has a service library at this link. http://www.servicematters.com/maytag_library/html/index.html
By placing the first 3 letters in the search feature it will take you to models like yours. Chose the correct model that you have and enter the number in the search. I believe that the water control valve on back of your refrigerator is the problem. Maytag is very good about helping their customers. Let me know if you have problems gettting the information you need, Thanks, Sea Breeze

SOURCE: Maytag MSD2754GR - Ice Maker quit working.

Is the freezer cold enough? Should be close to 10 degrees.
Is there water or ice in the ice mold? If not put water in it and see if it dumps the ice after it’s frozen. If there is ice, lift the cut off arm and let it drop to see if it will start.
If it does dump the ice but don’t refill with water.
Try swapping the wires on the dual water inlet valve. Then try the water dispenser. The water should go to the ice maker. This will tell you weather or not the ice maker valve is working and if the line is clear.

Testimonial: "Good trouble shooting tips...will give them a try and see how they go, THANKS!"

Ice and Water not dispensing. Light button not working

http://www.repairclinic.com/0100_1.asp
There's an ice- or water-dispensing problem The ice and water-dispensing system of your refrigerator is quite complex. Many components work together to provide the ice and water. Aside from a simple problem of a leaky water tube or a jammed ice chute, most other components are not user serviceable. We suggest that you contact a qualified appliance repair technician for such repairs.

I just connected the ice maker water line to the unit. The Frig has electrical power and ice is making. My problem is that the controls at the front of the Frig is not working. I cannot dispense the ice...

Without a model number here how they usually operate. The DOOR / LIGHT switch disables water and ice in door functions. I.e. it is not supposed to operate with the door open. If the switch is open... i.e the light is not working door open, (Switch has 2 functions Light and Water / ive in door operation) Then the control panel / water / ice in door will all not work either. It is possible for the light to work while the CP / H2o / Ice do not work. Usually if a door switch fails the light stops working also. It is not always the case.

Try holding to door switch plunger depressed and see if your CP works and water in door work. DO NOT try ice in door as you can damage things.

If you respond with a model number and brand; I will see what I can dig up for you use while troubleshooting your unit. Expect to see parts data also.

The ice/ water machine not working

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly

When both the ice and water in door functions stop the problem is usually the door switch. If the door switch fails in the open position the light stays on when the door is closed and water and ice in door do not work. With the door open depress the door switch plunger to see if the comparment light goes off. If it stays on the door switch has failed. If it goes out.. hold the door plunger depressed and have someone try the water in the door. If the water in the door now works the door switch is not getting depressed enough to allow the water and ice in door to work during NORMAL operation. Again usually it requires door switch replacement to correct the problem. The door switch is a 3 terminal switch. One terminal is common, One terminal controls the light, and One terminal controls the water and ice in door functions. The switch retails for less than $10.00

You remove the switch by sliding a thin knife blade along one side of the switch to release the single locking tab. You can use a putty knife also.

Since you did not include a model number I can not help you with parts data.

There is more that can be done if the door switch is ok but I really need the model number to proceed from here. I will help you... Just respond with a COMPLETE model number.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

Ice maker does not work. Does not dispense water in the maker How do I troubleshoot.

If both stopped at the same time I would consider the door light switch. When the door is open the light is on and the water to the ice maker and dispenser controls are disabled. If so the switch in the door frame will have 3 connections. Part# CLICK HERE=> Number 4387911 It is not as likely that both sides of the water control valve would stop working at the same time. Anyway here is=> Appliance Parts Point and Click And here is the dual water control valve number=> 2188708 Dual Water Control Valve Here you can find me=> HERE And here is your wiring diagram Here is your Parts Manual If you have more questions feel free to let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Kenmore by Whirlpool sxs water in the door. Ice maker 106.565424

The water control valve for the ice maker side is your most likely reason. If filling ice maker with tap water and allowing to freeze. If it dumps then the water control should fill. if not the valve is not working. Sea Breeze
