What Goes Wrong With Ice Machines

Controls and sensorsBin sensors, thermistors and the control board decide when to make ice and when the bin is full. A sensor fault can make a machine stop with an empty bin.
Condenser and airflowBuilt-in machines draw air through the front grille. A dirty condenser or a blocked grille makes the machine run warm and slow.
Scale and cleaningMinerals in the water coat the freezing plate or grid and the water system, which slows ice production and can stop harvest. Many slow-machine calls start with a cleaning cycle.

When to Call About an Undercounter Ice Maker

  • Ice stuck to the plate or grid in a sheet
  • Water leaking under the machine or cabinet
  • Blinking light or error code
  • Ice tastes or smells off

How an Ice Machine Service Call Usually Goes in Rochester

Drain and pumpThe drain line is checked for clogs and slope, and on pump models the pump is tested. Drain problems cause most undercounter leaks.
Condenser and grilleThe condenser behind the front grille is cleaned, since built-in machines rely on front airflow to shed heat.
Water supply and pressureThe technician confirms the supply valve is open and checks the line, the inlet screen and the inlet valve for restriction.

Refrigerator ice makers fail for different reasons than standalone machines. If yours is in the refrigerator door or freezer, the ice maker repair page for Rochester is the better fit. Ice maker repair in Rochester.

Hiring a Repair Company in Rochester

  • Will you clean and descale the machine as part of the visit, and what cleaner do you use?
  • What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?

Ice Machine Repair FAQs: Rochester, MI

Do you repair countertop nugget ice makers?
Some technicians work on countertop nugget ice makers; many do not, because the units are inexpensive compared with a service call. Ask when you call, and compare the quote with the price of a new unit.
Why is my ice cloudy?
Clear-ice machines depend on clean water flowing evenly over the freezing surface. Scale, a dirty water system or low water flow can make ice cloudy or soft, so cleaning is usually the first step.
Why is my undercounter ice maker leaking?
Most leaks come from the drain: a clogged or kinked drain line, a failed drain pump or a drain that is not sloped correctly. Supply line connections are the next place to look.
What does an undercounter ice maker repair cost?
Most companies charge a service call or diagnostic fee that is often applied to the repair if you go ahead. Cleaning and descaling, a water valve, a drain pump or a control are common jobs. Our ice maker repair cost guide lists published ranges.
