Ice Maker repair in Lanham & Glenn Dale
Ice makers in this area are mostly built into side-by-side and French-door refrigerators, fed by a thin supply line that may run from the basement ceiling of a Lanham split-level or through an outside wall in a townhouse. Some Glenn Dale houses add a standalone undercounter ice machine in a bar area or finished basement, which has its own pump and drain needs.
Following the water from the valve to the bin
The search starts at the saddle valve or shutoff feeding the refrigerator, then the supply tubing, where a kink behind the fridge or a clogged filter cuts flow to a trickle. We measure pressure at the inlet valve and test its solenoid coils. If water reaches the fill tube, we check whether the tube has frozen shut, which happens when the freezer runs too cold or a door seal leaks. Next comes the ice maker module: its thermostat, harvest motor and the bail arm or optical sensor that tells it the bin is full. Dispenser jams come last, usually an auger motor or a frozen chute door.
Supply lines in cold spaces
A copper or plastic supply line that runs along an outside wall or through an unheated crawl space can freeze during a hard January cold snap. If the ice stopped right after a cold night, check whether the line passes through such a spot, and if a well serves the house, change its sediment filter.

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.
Low water flow into the mold is the usual cause, from a clogged refrigerator filter, a partially closed shutoff or a weak inlet valve. Low household water pressure can also do it. We check flow at the valve before replacing the ice maker module.
