First, ensure that ice is not jammed in the ejector arm of the ice maker. Remove jammed ice from the ejector arm using only a plastic utensil, so the ice maker is not damaged. This will likely resolve the issue. Because the ice may not be completely frozen yet, when the harvest fingers try to harvest the ice cubes, the fingers bring up icy water that attaches to the stripper. This icy water can then freeze on the stripper during the next cycle causing an ice bridge. This ice bridge will cause the harvest fingers to jam.

If the issue persists or if you require further advice, you'll have to consult the manufacturer: use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/maytag/customer-service.

when ice starts to melt in a humid environment, it tends to get everywhere and jam things up. I suggest a total defrost to avoid damage to the compartment.

For the sake of the evolution of human intelligence, one must always be half wrong in their conclusions.
