Why does ice build on very bottom self, it gets thick and leaks water on floor. Freezer is cold and fridge working properly as well!When in defrost mode does the water drain system get clogged or something and how do i access it to clear debris?
For model number MSD2456GEW
Hi Brett. This is likely a clogged drain line. To access you will have to unplug the fridge and remove the freezer back panel. Then wave a hair dryer back and forth across the freezer coils to thaw them. Trace the coils down to the drain hole in the bottom of the freezer. Aim the hair dryer at the drain to thaw it. Make sure you wave the dryer back and forth to avoid melting any plastic parts.Listen for the water from the drain line to drip into the drain pan beneath the refrigerator. Once you successfully thaw the drain, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 2 cups of hot water. Force the mixture through the drain line in the floor of the freezer with a turkey baster. This will clean the drain line and thaw any remaining ice. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

My freezer makes ice but it can not dispense ice cubs
For model number MSD2456GEW
Hello Jeanne, thank you for your inquiry. If your ice maker is not dispensing the ice cubes, we would suggest checking the ice dispenser solenoid and ice door, to ensure they are operating correctly. If these parts are where the issue is stemming from, the part number for the ice dispenser solenoid and door kit is part number PS2003478. We hope this helps.

Ice machine was making ice but then they were watery to the touch instead of solid. Now it has stopped making ice. The freezer is cold but some items are soft around the edges, not solid. How do I fix this?
For model number MSD2456GEW
Hello Cindy, thank you for contacting us. Please note that a little watery touch of ice is normal. We would recommend checking the water pressure and making sure it is not less than 20 psi. If it is less than 20 psi, the water inlet valve, part number PS11743240, is the most likely culprit of the problem. You can test the valve with a multimeter. If this does not help, the ice maker, part number PS2121513, is most probably defective. Also, inspect the door seals and make sure no warm air is entering the refrigerator. Customer service is always available to help you place an order if you are having trouble doing so. Good luck with your repair.
Interior surface of ice tray felt rough & flaky (coating deteriorated) so cubes would not release. Unplug appliance. Remove timer cover by hand pressure @ edge. Remove single attachment screw & bracket at lower front of icemaker. Disconnect wiring harness from socket @ rear of compartment. Tricky part was determin
... Read moreing what type of connection held the other two attachment points along the long edge of the icemaker. I did not have repair manual or useful drawing but looked @ PartsDirect pic of side brackets & used a small mirror to confirm that mine were also some sort of "snap in" attachment. Remove icemaker unit by pushing upward and outward on the unit. I takes a good bit of pressure and will pop loose, but be careful not to break attachment bracket from freezer wall. Scavenge shut off bar and wiring harness from old icemaker once you have it out & attach to new one before installing it back in freezer. Again, you might find a mirror useful to align those pesky snap-in brackets with the new unit. Since you probably kept your freezer running while waiting for the part, the plastic snap-ins will be cold and brittle. I warmed them up first by applying a dampened cloth heated in the microwave to make them a little more pliable. A good push of the new unit towards the snap-ins along with some upward force will get it stable. Reattach the metal screw in bracket & connect the wiring harness to rear plug... and don't forget to plug the whole thing back in. It will take awhile for the first batch of cubes dump as the timer may need to cycle completely around to get to the fill cycle... be patient. Dump the first couple of batches of cubes just to make sure you're free of any residue.
My ice maker has been shedding its non-stick coating for over a year. Within the last month of so, it started pouring water into the ice bucket below, turning it into a solid mass of ice. So I purchased a new ice maker assembly. I encountered two problems not mentioned in the 21 or so do-it-yourselfer repair stories that precede this on
... Read moree. First problem: one of the three screws that hold the ice maker to the refrigerator wall is hidden behind the large (black) end of the ice maker and is difficult to access. Before trying to replace the ice maker, make sure you have the physical dexterity to remove that screw. Second problem: it is not apparent how to remove the wire harness that plugs into the ice maker assembly. BEFORE you can remove the wire harness, you MUST remove the large white cap that covers the black end of the ice maker assembly and then push in a retaining tab to release the wire harness. If you don't do this, the wire harness will not release. Other than those two problems, it was relatively easy to remove three screws, unplug the wire harness, transfer three small, metal parts from the old ice maker to the new, plug in the new wire harness, mount the ice maker assembly so that the water tube is in the proper position, and then re-install the three screws. The ice maker works fine now. (P.S. I was told by an expert that the real problem might be a malfunctioning fill valve. I would have replaced the fill valve if replacing the ice maker assembly had not fixed the problem.)
I could see that a tab was broken from the round chute that opens for ice dispensing and closes to seal off freezer ice chute when not in use. With the tab broken, the round door would not shut to seal the freezer chute and dispensing water would spatter everywhere. I looked for just the round door part, but is only sold in the "Ice disp
... Read moreenser solenoid and door kit" I only had to use the round chute/flap from the kit. The instructions were easy to follow and I had the fridge back working in about 10 minutes. It took me longer to find the right star headed screwdriver that I needed to remove the Maytag star screws (5) total. Because I didn't have to replace the solenoid or the spring mechanism, this was especially easy, and now I have those parts on hand if one day I need them!!
