What we get called for

  • Bin stopped filling about a week after the water filter was changed
  • Cubes are fusing into one solid slab in the bin
  • A thin puddle of water keeps appearing under the ice maker drawer
  • The ice smells and tastes of whatever else is in the freezer

How the visit runs

  1. Readings before opinions

    Compartment temperatures, evaporator airflow, defrost circuit and door seals, all measured before anyone offers a theory. On a sealed-system symptom the unit goes on gauges.

  2. A cause, and a number

    You get the actual fault named, what it costs to put right in parts and labour, and an honest read on whether it is worth doing. Nothing is ordered or opened up before you agree.

  3. Repaired and proved

    The unit is run back down to spec and the readings are shown to you before we leave. Cabinetry and panels go back exactly as they came out.

What it costs

What ice maker repair costs

Flat $89 service call covering the visit and full diagnosis, credited against the repair once you approve it.

The bands below are ranges because the part and the hours behind the same fault differ from one model to the next. Your unit gets one firm figure, agreed with you before a panel comes off — and the $89 you have already paid for the visit comes off that figure the moment you approve the work. Nothing is ordered, opened up or billed before then.

Door gasket or seal replacement
$280$670
Evaporator or condenser fan motor
$330$750
Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor
$280$670
Ice maker, water valve or supply line
$290$750
Electronic control board
$400$910
Compressor or sealed-system repair
$1,400$3,060

For scale, a comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work runs $11,600$21,910 in this market. That arithmetic is why we quote the repair honestly rather than steer you toward a new cabinet: on a machine built to last thirty years, even the heaviest band above is usually the cheaper road.

In their words

Bellevue kitchens, in the owners’ words

  • A puddle under the drawer that kept coming back. The drain hose had been kinked behind the cabinet by whoever installed it. Rerouted, and the leak stopped. Four stars because I chased the confirmation myself.

    Bettina S.SomersetJun 2026

  • Undercounter ice maker leaking into the cabinet base. It was a blocked drain line, not the unit itself. Cleared in half an hour, and charged for the service call only.

    Peter M.CrossroadsJan 2026

  • The bin filled halfway then stopped, every time, and two other companies had shrugged at it. He put a gauge on the water line, found the inlet screen half blocked and pressure marginal, and fixed both.
