Condensation or frost forming on the outside of the ice maker cabinet or around the door

Possible Causes

Damaged door gasket, door not closing fully, high humidity environment, insulation voids

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before gasket replacement.

  • Check gasket seal: Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull; if it slides out easily, the seal is weak in that area.
  • Clean gasket: Remove dirt and residue from the gasket and mating surfaces.
  • Adjust door: Tighten hinges and adjust if the door is sagging.
  • Replace gasket: Install a new OEM Maytag door gasket if the old one is cracked or deformed.
  • Control humidity: Use a dehumidifier in very humid rooms to reduce condensation.
