Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in West Palm Beach
Service call $89 to $119, waived with repair. Most repairs $175 to $400
Ice makers fail more than any other part of a refrigerator, and in Palm Beach County they get used hard. Between the heat, the pool, and year-round entertaining, ice makers in Palm Beach County run harder than almost anywhere, and hard water shortens the life of every valve and mold in them.
Problems we fix
- No ice: water inlet valve, frozen fill tube, ice maker module, control arm or sensor.
- Slow or small, hollow cubes: low water pressure, a clogged filter, or a weak inlet valve.
- Ice tastes or smells off: old filter, contaminated bin, or a mold issue in the chute.
- Leaking or ice clumping from a stuck fill valve or a bin that is not cooling evenly.
- Under-counter and built-in ice machines (Scotsman, U-Line, KitchenAid, Sub-Zero, GE Monogram) not cycling, not harvesting, or leaking.
- Chest and upright freezers not freezing, frosting heavily, or running constantly.
- Refrigerator freezer sections warm while the fresh food side is cold, or vice versa.
Water quality
Palm Beach County tap water is pumped from limestone aquifers and stays on the hard side even after the county and city plants lime soften or membrane treat it, and the Acreage and Loxahatchee run on private wells with iron and hardness, so inlet valves, screens, filters and ice maker molds scale up faster than the manufacturer expects. Filters should be changed every six months and more often where the water is hard; a clogged filter mimics a failed ice maker and is the first thing the technician checks.
Pricing
