How We Repair Your Outdoor Ice Maker
Ice makers and ice machines rely on a clean water supply, a working fill valve and accurate temperature sensing to make and harvest ice.
Common Outdoor Ice Maker Problems We Fix
Ice clumps or the dispenser jams
Ice melting and refreezing because of a temperature problem, or a worn auger motor.
No ice at all
A closed or kinked water line, a frozen fill tube, a clogged filter, a failed water inlet valve or a bad ice maker module.
Small, hollow or cloudy cubes
Low water pressure, a clogged filter or a valve that is starting to fail.
Ice tastes or smells bad
An old filter, scale and slime in the water system, or ice sitting too long in the bin.
Leaking water
A cracked fill tube, a loose supply line or a valve that does not shut off fully.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Make sure the shut-off arm or switch is in the "on" position.
- Check that the water supply valve is fully open and the line is not kinked.
- Replace the water filter if it is older than six months.
- Look for ice blocking the fill tube at the back of the ice maker.

Should I repair or replace my outdoor ice maker?
A outdoor ice maker typically lasts about 5 to 10 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
