What we get called for

  • Bin stopped filling about a week after the water filter was changed
  • Cubes are fusing into one solid slab in the bin
  • A thin puddle of water keeps appearing under the ice maker drawer
  • The ice smells and tastes of whatever else is in the freezer

Reaching an ice maker behind a custom panel depends on how far that door swings. The model catalogue sorts each series by how its door and panel hang, with notes on the faults that start there.

How the visit runs

  1. Readings before opinions

    Compartment temperatures, evaporator airflow, defrost circuit and door seals, all measured before anyone offers a theory. On a sealed-system symptom the unit goes on gauges.

  2. A cause, and a number

    You get the actual fault named, what it costs to put right in parts and labour, and an honest read on whether it is worth doing. Nothing is ordered or opened up before you agree.

  3. Repaired and proved

    Once the part is in, the unit is brought back to its spec and the readings are put in front of you before we leave. Cabinetry and panels go back exactly as they came out.

What it costs

What ice maker repair costs

Every visit starts with the $89 service call, which pays for the trip and a complete diagnosis; once you approve the repair, the full $89 is subtracted from its price.

Each band is a range because one fault can need a different part, and a different number of hours, from one series to the next. Your unit gets a single figure before any panel moves, and the $89 visit fee is deducted from it once you give the go-ahead.

Door gasket or seal replacementThe first thing tested on any panelled door, with a paper strip round the frame.
$280–$670
Evaporator or condenser fan motorTurns up as a new noise, or a warm cabinet behind a door that seals.
$330–$750
Defrost heater, thermostat or sensorFrost that rebuilds on the back wall soon after a clean-out.
$280–$670
Ice maker, water valve or supply lineA bin that stops filling, or water standing where it should not.
$290–$750
Electronic control boardReplaced only after the door, the fans and the defrost circuit have tested sound.
$400–$910
Compressor or sealed-system repairPriced last, once every cheaper cause has been ruled out on gauges.
$1,400–$3,060

Set against the whole machine, a comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work lands somewhere between $11,600 and $21,910 around Bellevue. The top of the highest band above still sits below the bottom of that range.

In their words

Bellevue kitchens, in the owners’ words

  • A puddle under the drawer that kept coming back. The drain hose had been kinked behind the cabinet by whoever installed it. Rerouted, and the leak stopped. Four stars because I chased the confirmation myself.

    Bettina S.SomersetJun 2026

  • Undercounter ice maker leaking into the cabinet base. It was a blocked drain line, not the unit itself. Cleared in half an hour, and charged for the service call only.

    Peter M.CrossroadsJan 2026

  • The bin filled halfway then stopped, every time, and two other companies had shrugged at it. He put a gauge on the water line, found the inlet screen half blocked and pressure marginal, and fixed both.
