Common Problems
Common Ice Maker Problems We Fix
These are the ice maker complaints our San Diego technicians hear most often. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a diagnostic visit before the problem gets worse.
No ice being made
The ice maker sits empty no matter how long you wait between batches.
Small or hollow cubes
Ice comes out oddly shaped, thin, or hollow instead of solid cubes.
Dispenser jammed
Ice builds up and clogs the chute, or the dispenser won't release ice at all.
Leaking near the ice bin
Water pools under or around the ice maker instead of freezing properly.
Why It Happens
What's Really Causing the Problem
An ice maker that isn't performing right can come from several different sources. Here's what our technicians check first, and why these issues show up so often in San Diego homes.
Clogged water line filter
San Diego's hard water speeds up mineral buildup inside the filter, restricting water flow to the ice maker.
Failing water inlet valve
This valve controls water flow into the ice maker, and mineral scale or wear can cause it to stick.
Frozen or blocked fill tube
A partially frozen tube restricts water reaching the ice mold, leading to small or missing cubes.
Worn ice maker motor module
The internal motor that ejects ice into the bin wears out with years of regular cycles.

Ice Maker Repair Questions, Answered
Why has my ice maker stopped making ice?
A clogged water filter or a stuck water inlet valve are the most common causes, both of which are more frequent here because of San Diego's hard water.
Why are my ice cubes small or hollow?
This usually means water flow to the ice mold is restricted, often from a clogged filter or a partially frozen fill tube. It's a straightforward fix once identified.
How often should I replace my refrigerator's water filter?
Most manufacturers recommend every six months, but San Diego's hard water can clog filters faster. If ice production has slowed, the filter is a good first thing to check.
Why is water leaking near my ice maker?
A cracked water line, a failing inlet valve, or an ice maker that's not level can all cause leaking. A technician can identify the exact source quickly.
Do you repair built-in ice makers as well as refrigerator ice makers?
Yes, we service both standalone built-in ice makers and the ice maker units inside refrigerators, across all major brands.
