Ice Maker brands we repair
Ice Maker repair: common questions
Before you book ice maker repair, here's how it works in brief. Make sure its water valve is turned on and the line has no kinks or ice.
Ready to get it looked at?
A technician comes to your home anywhere in our service area and diagnoses your ice maker on the spot. You see the price before any work starts.
Only after the diagnosis. The technician checks the water valve, the evaporator and the harvest cycle, tells you which one failed and what the ice maker repair costs, and nothing starts until you approve.
For ice makers: Sub-Zero, Atosa, Hoshizaki, Ice-O-Matic, Manitowoc, Maxx Ice, Perlick and Scotsman, plus the other 1 makers listed on this page.
That depends on the ice maker's age, its condition and what failed. After the diagnosis you'll get a frank view if spending on it doesn't add up.
Go to the ice maker's manufacturer while its coverage lasts; that repair should cost you nothing through them. We're independent of every brand, so covered work isn't ours to take.
Usually on the data plate on the cabinet's back or behind the lower panel. Send it with the brand and a sentence on what the ice maker is doing. Make sure its water valve is turned on and the line has no kinks or ice.
Ice Maker repair, in more detail
In-home ice maker repair throughout Mecklenburg County, covering 9 brands. An ice maker that has stopped, makes small cubes or leaks is usually telling you about its water supply before it's telling you about a failed part.
Our order of checks on an ice maker is water supply, then the inlet valve, then the ejector and harvest parts. That sequence finds the actual fault without charging you for parts that weren't broken.
The ice maker problem most often misread
With ice makers, a common misreading is an ice maker blamed on its module when the real culprit is a kinked or frozen water line or a clogged inlet screen. Misjudge it and you buy the wrong part, which on an ice maker is often the costliest one inside.
Charlotte conditions that affect ice makers
Locally, the factor that matters is supply lines that pass through crawl spaces, garages or exterior walls and can freeze in a hard cold snap, and lake houses around Lake Norman where the water was shut off for a stretch and the ice maker sat dry.
Summer is the hard season for an ice maker here. A warm, humid room makes the condenser shed more heat, a dusty coil makes that harder, and a gasket that has stopped sealing lets damp air in, which shows up as sweating and extra frost. Units in garages also face winter cold snaps.
Safe checks before you book
Check that the ice maker's switch or arm is in the on position, the supply valve is open and the line behind the appliance isn't kinked. If the line passes through a garage or crawl space during a freeze, it may simply be frozen; never thaw it with a torch or open flame.
The platform behind the badge
We list 9 brands for ice maker repair; you'll find them all linked on this page. Commercial ice machines from Scotsman, Hoshizaki, Ice-O-Matic, Manitowoc and Maxx Ice each use their own evaporator and harvest design, so parts don't cross between them.
Kenmore and other store brands were built by several manufacturers, so the model number, not the badge, tells us which parts fit.
What the repair visit looks like
The visit is a diagnosis at the ice maker, a plain explanation and a quote. Nothing is done until you approve it, and we'll say so if a repair doesn't make sense.
We order ice maker parts by model number, use the manufacturer's own where we can, and tell you before installing an equivalent. An ice maker still under the maker's warranty should go to the maker first, since we're an independent service.

We come out, test the water valve, the evaporator and the harvest cycle, and quote the ice maker repair before any work.
