Ice maker make ice, but leaks water into the tray, causing a big block of ice in the dispenser. Good water pressure and clean filter. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Nothing pulls up for MVI2569VEM please recheck your model number, there should also be another number after the "M".

Hi Jake,
Sorry, I miss-typed.

MFI2569VEM

Ok, that's better, but there is still a missing digit after the "M", if not, then please post your serial number.

Here's the results I get:
MFI2569VEM1
MFI2569VEM10
MFI2569VEM2
MFI2569VEM3
MFI2569VEM4

So is the ice maker overflowing and leaking into the ice bin? Or the water keeps streaming into the ice maker and won't stop?

Hi Jake, thanks, but there is no suffix after the model number.

Here is a picture of the model number.

If memory serves me correctly, it only leaks into the ice bin, not into the fridge itself. Traveling now, will check it on Friday.

That's what I needed Chris thanks, on some Maytag models the first two digits of your serial number is after the "M" at the end when you look up parts for it.

So yours is MFI2569VEM10 because your serial number starts with 10.

Ok, then the problem is the ice maker itself that's overfilling itself and leaking into the ice bin, seen this many times on my service calls.

Here's the ice maker for your model you can order:

Do you need a video to replace it?
