Ice Maker Repair

Clear-ice module, inlet valve, filter and drain repairs for Sub-Zero ice makers and standalone ice machines.

How it lands on the phone

  1. Bin has been empty for days and nothing has dropped
  2. Cubes come out hollow, undersized or milky white
  3. Water running into the bin instead of filling the mold
  4. Cubes fusing into one block that jams the ejector arm

What happens on the visit

Temperatures logged at both compartments before anything comes apart, then the sealed system read under gauges and the defrost and control circuits tested in sequence. A Sub-Zero rarely fails in a way that needs guessing — it fails in a way that needs measuring.

You get the cause, the reading it came from, and a firm number for parts and labour. Nothing is opened up or ordered until you have said yes to that number. The bands that number comes from are set out further down this page.

Rest of the work

What it costs

The bands we quote from

Parts and the labour to fit them, grouped the way the faults actually arrive in Tacoma. Once the readings are in, your job sits inside one of these six.

Service call

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

You are quoted one firm number from inside the relevant band, agreed with you before a single screw comes out — and the service call comes off that number the moment you approve the work. Nothing is ordered or opened up until then.

Door gasket or seal replacement
$290–$660
Evaporator or condenser fan motor
$310–$700
Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor
$270–$680
Ice maker, water valve or supply line
$260–$780
Electronic control board
$390–$1,000
Compressor or sealed-system repair
$1,440–$3,390

These are ranges, not starting prices. What moves inside one is the part itself and how far the unit has to come out of its cabinetry. For scale, a comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work, runs $11,550–$21,190 — which is the comparison worth making before you decide either way.

  • Standing water under the cabinet every morning and no ice at all. The pump had seized and the drain was backing up behind it. New pump, and he levelled the unit while he was there.

  • Cubes came out hollow and milky for weeks. He checked water pressure first, then found the fill tube half blocked with scale. Descaled and adjusted, and the cubes are clear again.

  • Water was running straight into the bin instead of filling the mold. He found a cracked fill trough and a drain line running uphill from a bad install. Both put right in one visit.

it is doing

Model number and the symptom is enough to start. Most faults get named on the phone; the visit confirms it under gauges and the price is agreed before a single screw comes out. The line is answered 24/7.
