Ice Maker repair in Cheverly & Capitol Heights
Refrigerators with ice makers are standard in the newer townhouses of Seat Pleasant and Walker Mill, and remodeled kitchens in Cheverly usually have one too. In older houses, the water line is often a thin tube run up from the basement through the floor or along a wall, sometimes an outside wall. Apartment refrigerators may not have an ice maker hooked up at all, even if the unit has one installed.
Following the water to the ice tray
An ice maker that makes nothing is checked from the water supply inward. We confirm water reaches the refrigerator inlet valve at adequate pressure, then test the valve's solenoid for the ice maker. A fill tube frozen solid where it enters the freezer is a common blockage, often caused by a weak valve that drips. Then the ice maker module is checked: its thermostat, motor and the feeler arm or optical sensor that tells it the bin is full. A clogged water filter can slow everything, so we ask when it was last changed.
Lines in cold walls and floors
When a water line runs along an exterior wall or through an unheated crawl space, a deep winter cold can freeze it. If the ice stops during a cold snap and the dispenser water slows at the same time, the line may be the cause. Mention how the line is routed if you know.

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 ice maker isn't getting enough water in each fill. Low household pressure, a clogged filter or a partly blocked inlet valve screen can all cause it. A freezer that runs too cold or too warm can also affect cube shape, so we check the freezer temperature as well.
