What this code means
H2O Light
H2O light: replace the water filter if due, then reset the status.
Is the filter due?
- Maytag says to change it when the status light turns red, or when water flow or ice production falls.
- The French door guidance gives a 6-month interval, or sooner depending on use and water quality.
- A clogged or improperly installed filter can reduce water reaching the ice maker and dispenser.
Resetting after a change
- Hold the LIGHT and ICE TYPE buttons together for 3 seconds.
- Confirm the status light is off.
If you still need help, contact Maytag or schedule service.
