If your Maytag ice maker is not rotating, you may need to force it to rotate. This can be done by manually turning the ice maker’s paddle wheel. To do this, you will need to locate the paddle wheel on the back of the ice maker. Once you have located the paddle wheel, use a flathead screwdriver to turn the paddle wheel clockwise until it rotates freely. Once the paddle wheel is rotating, the ice maker should start producing ice. If the paddle wheel does not rotate, you may need to replace the ice maker.
How To Force Rotation On A Maytag Ice Maker
1. Unplug the ice maker from the power source.
2. Remove the ice bin from the ice maker.
3. Turn the ice maker upside down and locate the rotation arm.
4. Turn the arm clockwise until it is in the locked position.
5. Plug the ice maker back in and replace the ice bin.
6. Press the reset button on the ice maker.
7. Wait for the ice maker to cycle through and start making ice.
In conclusion, forcing rotation on a Maytag ice maker is not a difficult task. All that is needed is to turn off the power to the ice maker, remove the ice bin, and then use a flathead screwdriver to manually rotate the ice maker’s drive shaft. Once the drive shaft has been rotated, the power can be turned back on and the ice maker should be able to resume its regular operation.
