Ice makers and machines are extremely convenient appliances that provide a large supply of ice whenever you need it — whether for the big game, a special celebration, or a family picnic. Most homeowners have a small ice maker in their freezer, while others have larger standalone machines. Both can occasionally run into problems.

The good news is that our team at WorksAgain are here to help. Ice maker troubleshooting and repair is part of our everyday lives.

Types of Ice Machines & Makers We Repair:

• Freezer ice makers
• Portable ice machines
• Built-in or freestanding ice machines

 WorksAgain Troubleshoots and Repairs the Following Ice Maker Issues:

Your freezer could be too warm

       Make sure the temperature of your freezer is between zero and five degrees Fahrenheit for proper function.

Your freezer switch could be defective

       Check to see if your freezer switch is accidentally shut off

The water inlet valve could be defective

       When this electromechanical valve malfunctions, water supply is cut off.

The incoming water pressure could be too low to function properly

       Make sure the water pressure entering your supply line is at least 20 psi.

Possible malfunction of the door switch

       If your door switch isn’t working properly, the ice maker will act as if the door to your freezer is open, and not engage in making ice.

Possible failure of the ice level control board

       If the ice level control board fails, it will not turn on the ice maker because it “thinks” the ice tray is full.

Water flow restricted to your ice maker

       If your water filter is clogged, it will prevent adequate flow to your ice maker; preventing ice production. If you can change the filter yourself, this is the easiest solution.

Possibly defective mold thermostat

       This specialized thermostat ejects ice cubes once they reach the proper [cold] temperature. If this component is defective ice cubes will not be ejected into the collection tray.

Low water flow causing malformed ice cubes

       A clogged filter is usually the culprit causing this issue. Low water flow from a clogged water filter or supply line may cause the evaporator to freeze, creating undersized cubes or completely halting production.

Oversized ice cubes being formed

       If the ice cubes being formed appear oversized, a leaky water inlet valve may be the cause.

Low ice cube production occurring

       If your freezer or standalone ice maker is too warm, production will decrease, as the ice maker takes longer to produce a batch of ice. Remember the optimal temperature for your ice maker is between zero and five degrees Fahrenheit.
