Aloha Lee, Haven't had an ice maker for many years, but I seem to remember that you could turn off the ice maker. I wonder if they turned it off when they installed the filter and forgot to turn it back on, or if they turned off the water valve and didn't turn it back on. Things to consider,

Lee, We traded for a king size waterbed a couple of years ago. It was a softside type. It had 9 or so little tubes rather than the large bladder and al worked fairly well but I never did quite like the way it felt so, one day, we went to good old Wal-Mart and purchased 2 twin Ozark air mattresses

This was a problem on several models when they changed the filter. First question. Do you get cold water through the dispenser? Some guys would change the filter and not purge the line which can cause an air bubble. If the cold water runs through the door, then check to make sure there

The first thing that comes to mind here is the temp in the fridge side. Many models had a door or vent that opened and closed between the two sides. This door would close too far when the fridge side was turned all the way up, directing most of the cold air to the fridge and not allowing

If you have to get someone in to look at it, try someone besides the Sears repair guys, like a maytag repair person. Probably be cheaper. Betsy At 11:08 AM 7/18/2010, you wrote: Betsey, thre is like a metal wire loop which flips up or down that if it is not touching ice cubes in the bucket

Hi, Interestingly there was a theory that the water from the hot water tank had less oxygen thus is would freeze faster than cold water from the regular tap. Also, it was thought that the act of heating the water would remove or help kill bacteria which may or may not be in the city water. I
