Ice Maker repair in Takoma Park & Hillandale
Refrigerator ice makers are standard in Hillandale kitchens that were remodeled from the 1990s onward, and in Takoma Park they often arrived with a new refrigerator. The water line may run up from the basement through the floor, and in older houses it is frequently thin copper or plastic tubing tapped with a saddle valve. A few homes have a separate undercounter ice machine.
Finding why an ice maker stopped
We confirm the freezer is cold enough first, since most ice makers will not cycle above roughly 10 degrees. Then we check water flow at the inlet valve, because a partly closed saddle valve, a kinked line or a clogged filter will starve the fill. A frozen fill tube, a stuck ejector arm or a full-bin sensor that thinks the bucket is full come next. If water arrives and the freezer is cold, we test the inlet valve coil and the ice maker module itself. On a door-dispensing model we also look at the auger motor and the dispenser chute heater.
Saddle valves and filters
Saddle valves pierce the pipe and tend to clog or seize after years in service. If yours turns stiffly or weeps, a plumber can replace it with a proper shutoff. A water filter that has run past its date can also slow the flow to the ice maker. Change it on the schedule printed on the filter or in the manual.

Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Small or hollow cubes usually mean the mold isn't getting a full fill. Low water pressure at the valve, a clogged filter, a partly frozen fill tube or a weak inlet valve can each cause it. We check the supply line and filter before replacing the valve or the ice maker module.
