My maytag is model MFD2560HES serial number

see if the ice is frozen, there are three screws holding the ice maker in, two on top and one on bottom. The two top screws are teardrop screws and don't need to come all the way out. The bottom screw does need to come out. The electrical connection is a squeeze type and the unit should come out. Clean it out and re- insatll to see if that helps.

Mine (same model) does the same thing. The only way I get it to work is to open the freezer, and move the metal ice lever arm up and back down again. Then it starts. But after a day, the arm stops moving and it breaks. I can't stand it anymore.

Before moving into my new house with the mfd2560hes, I had to replace an ice maker in my whirlpool refrigerator. So, I guess I'll be googling this maytag model and buying an icemaker motor replacement kit.

if I'm successfull, I'll post it here.

The flow of water is controlled by a solenoid. Thus magnetic -- rather electromagnet which mones the vale from open & close, both in the ice-maker & the water dispenser.
Thus the valve which is activated when door closes, must have lost its earlier condition and must be making an irritable buzz whenever its on. Simply get the Valve assembly replaced, preferably from their authorized service center closest to your place of residence.

The mold heater has broken. You will have ti replace the ice maker module.

There are repair instructions available for this particular ice maker at www.AnyoneCanFixIt.com Specifically, you should locate it at www.anyonecanfixit.com/household.htm

Make sure the IM is in the ON position and free to move. Check the water supply from the valve to the IM for obstructions(Ice in fill tube). When the IM cycles there should be a buzz/humm for 45 seconds when it is calling for water. The valves are not expensive but you want to be sure that is the problem befor you purchase.

make sure the wire rod on the ice maker is in the down position in order for it to make and release the ice
