Ice Maker repair in Mount Rainier & Brentwood
Refrigerator ice makers here are usually fed by a thin plastic or copper line run from under the sink or up from the basement through the floor. In older houses, that line may tie into a saddle valve clamped on an old pipe, which can clog or partly close with time. Narrow kitchens also mean the fridge is pushed tight to the wall, and a kinked supply tube behind it is easy to miss.
Working through an ice maker that has stopped
We first confirm the freezer itself is cold enough, since most ice makers wait for the mold to drop well below freezing before they cycle. Next we check water supply: we disconnect the line at the back of the refrigerator and check flow, then inspect the inlet valve screen and test the valve solenoid. A fill tube with ice inside means water is dribbling in slowly, often from low pressure or a failing valve. Then we test the ice-maker module itself, running it through a harvest cycle to check the motor, the mold heater and the shutoff arm or sensor.
Saddle valves and filters
If the water line is fed by a saddle valve, it may be slowly closing with mineral buildup. Also check when the refrigerator filter was last changed; an overdue filter cuts flow and can make cubes small or hollow.

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 mean the mold isn't getting enough water before it freezes. Common causes are a clogged water filter, low supply pressure, a partly closed saddle valve or a weak inlet valve. We check pressure at the refrigerator and test the valve before replacing anything.
