Ice build up on the freezer floor alone, with no ice on shelves or food above the floor, usually indicates a clogged defrost drain problem. when your unit goes into defrost, the melt water is intended to go down a drain tube from the freezer to a pan on the outside bottom of the unit, usually near the compressor. Sometimes these drains are clogged with food debris, other times some of the melt water does not completely drain, and freezes - this build up of ice can then clog the drain. You can unplug the fridge, with both doors open and a fan blowing for 24 hours to temporarily remove the ice and water, but it will return most likely, in which case you would need to have the drain cleared out and / or have a drain heater installed by a qualified refrigerator repair service.

Maytag MFI2568AES- ice maker making ice but cannot harvest

Sounds like the thermostat inside the ice maker that allows the heater to come on during harvest cycle is bad. You will need to replace the ice maker.

I have a Maytag model MFI2568AES french door bottom freezer refrigerator. I have had problems with the control panel not working. We have been able to get ice but could not switch to water. Now i cannot...

don't think you need a new unit . and most of use like the service . the filter does not prevent the ice maker from working . but the water valve does and the tempt in freezer must be 15 deg or lower . ck your fan inside and underneath. both muts be going . hope this helps mm .. and ck with another service theat will be helpfull. mm

Ice maker is not working anymore. Water doesn't fill the tub. Water dispenser out of the door is still working

I need you to double check the model number. Maytag has a service library at this link. http://www.servicematters.com/maytag_library/html/index.html
By placing the first 3 letters in the search feature it will take you to models like yours. Chose the correct model that you have and enter the number in the search. I believe that the water control valve on back of your refrigerator is the problem. Maytag is very good about helping their customers. Let me know if you have problems gettting the information you need, Thanks, Sea Breeze
