Ice Maker repair in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown: what to know
An ice maker in a high-rise depends on a water line run through the cabinets from a valve that can be hard to find. When production slows or the cubes come out small and hollow, a partly closed valve, an overdue filter or a line kinked behind the fridge is often to blame. Change the filter first, then make sure the tubing isn't pinched when the fridge is pushed back. If the tray fills but never dumps, the ejector or the ice maker module is the more likely fault.
How we find the fault: ice makers in apartment buildings and lofts
In the apartments the ice maker is usually inside a counter-depth or built-in refrigerator, supplied by a small line that may snake a long way through the cabinets. Stale water, an old filter and a scaled fill valve account for most complaints of no ice or bad-tasting ice, so the supply, the filter and the valve are checked before the ice maker assembly.
Booking ice maker repair in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown
For a Downtown or Strip District building, reserve the freight elevator or loading dock with management and tell us the building's contractor hours. Built-in refrigerators are repaired where they stand, so we only need the grille and the front of the unit clear.
Finding the model number: If the ice maker is part of a refrigerator, use the refrigerator's label; a stand-alone or under-counter machine usually has its own behind the front grille or inside the door. The paperwork from the original purchase or the installation manual often has the same number printed on it.

Ice Maker Questions From This Area
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Usually not. Ice and water that sit unused pick up odors from the freezer. Change the filter, dump the bin and the next couple of batches, and wash the bin. If the taste doesn't clear, or production stops, book a check.
