Replace the water valves , both of them , and be done with it . There is one before the filter , and one after the filter .

The first one comes on for water OR ice , the second valve has a solenoid for each item .

Part #12001892 , and 61005626 .

Maytag controls a lot of their stuff on the return side, meaning they power the device and open and close the neutral wire to activate them. Your old Ice Maker completed the path to the neutral, energizing the valve. Your new one sends power to the valve to energize it. Both sides of the valve are being connected to the same "HOT" wire and thus going to zero volts during energize. Disconnect the plug from the valve to verify this. Check for 120 volts from the red wire to ground. Next, check for 120 volts to ground on the tan wire during Ice Maker fill time. If you get 120 on both, you need to disconnect the red wire from the valve and wire that valve terminal to the neutral (white) wire or to a good ground point.

Thanks Sprack,
Everything checked out like you called it. I made the changes and I' up and running.
