The cost to fix an ice maker depends on the failed part. Most ice maker repairs in the Bay Area run from $250 including parts and labor, and standalone ice machine repair cost falls in the same range for residential units. The diagnostic visit is $80 and is fully credited toward the repair when you proceed - you never pay it twice. Typical jobs: water line repair $250, water inlet valve $265, ice mold thermostat $265, ejector motor $275, complete ice maker assembly $295, control module $325.
Premium built-in ice machines (Sub-Zero 700 series, U-Line, Marvel, Scotsman) can cost more due to OEM parts, but they are almost always worth repairing - a new built-in unit runs from $2,500. You get a written estimate after the diagnostic, before any work begins, and every repair is covered by a 180-day warranty on parts and labor.
Beyond refrigerator ice makers, we repair standalone and built-in ice machines across the Bay Area. Residential units include Sub-Zero 700-series and UC-15, U-Line, Marvel, and Scotsman or Manitowoc residential nugget makers in wet bars, kitchens, and outdoor entertainment areas - typical ice machine repair cost matches the $250 range above. We also handle commercial ice machine repair for restaurants, bars, cafes, and offices - Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, and Ice-O-Matic undercounter and modular units, quoted after a $100 commercial diagnostic. Common ice machine faults are low or no ice, scale buildup on the auger and freeze plate, water inlet valve failure, and dirty condenser coils. For restaurant and food-service equipment, see our commercial appliance repair page.
Repair: Stopped making ice, fridge works fine - frozen water line ($250) or bad inlet valve ($265).
Repair: Ice tastes bad - new water filter + cleaning usually resolves it for under $100.
Repair: Leaking into freezer - cracked water line or misaligned fill tube, around $250.
Replace: Inexpensive countertop unit 8+ years old with compressor issues - repair can approach the price of a new unit.

We test the water inlet valve, supply line pressure, thermostat, ice maker module, ejector mechanism, and condenser (standalone units), working through the full ice-making cycle.
You get the estimate on the spot, in writing. We stock inlet valves, water filters, thermostats, and ice maker modules. Specialty parts for Sub-Zero, Scotsman, or U-Line ship next business day.
After repair, we check water flow, run a full ice-making cycle, and confirm the cubes come out full size and clean tasting. We back the repair for 180 days.

It depends on the part and the failure. For sealed-system components (compressors, evaporators) and electronic control boards, we use OEM - the tolerances matter for reliability and longevity. For wear parts where aftermarket equivalents perform identically - drain pumps, fan motors, gaskets, hoses - we offer both at the diagnostic stage. You choose based on budget, warranty preference, and how long you plan to keep the appliance.
Common causes include an old water filter, contaminated water supply, food odors in the freezer, or mineral buildup in the ice maker. We'll identify the source and recommend solutions to improve ice quality.
