Sub-Zero · Bainbridge Island
Ice Maker Repair
Clear-ice and standard Sub-Zero ice makers — short fills, hollow cubes, stalled harvests and supply restrictions traced back to the source.
What people describe on the phone
If one of these is close to what your unit is doing, it is a fault we see regularly and one with a known route to a fix.
- Cubes come out hollow, undersized or cloudy compared with a year ago
- Ice tastes and smells of whatever else is in the refrigerator
- Production stopped entirely a few days after a water filter change
- Bin has fused into one solid block that has to be chipped apart
How the visit runs
-
Measure the fill
Fill volume and fill time timed at the mold. Hollow cubes are a fill problem far more often than a module problem.
-
Walk the water back
Filter, inlet valve, supply line and household pressure checked in that order, from the mold back to the shut-off.
-
Harvest and thermostat
Harvest cycle forced and watched end to end, mold thermostat and heater tested against spec.
-
Bin and airflow
Bin sensor and compartment airflow checked, because fused ice is usually a temperature story, not a mechanical one.
What it costs
A range before we come, a firm number before we start
Flat $89 service call covering the visit and full diagnosis, credited against the repair once you approve it.
The ranges below are the repair itself — parts and labour, done in the cabinet. Where a job lands inside its range depends on the model, the part and how much of the kitchen has to come apart to reach it.
You get the figure for your unit in writing once the diagnosis is finished and before any work begins. Nothing is ordered and nothing is opened until you have agreed to it.
- Door gasket or seal replacement
- $280–$640
- Evaporator or condenser fan motor
- $310–$700
- Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor
- $290–$640
- Ice maker, water valve or supply line
- $260–$860
- Electronic control board
- $430–$890
- Compressor or sealed-system repair
- $1,340–$3,120
For comparison A comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work, sits at $11,680–$23,070. That is the sum worth holding a repair against before anyone writes a cabinet off, and it is why we price the repair first.
From the island
What the callbacks sound like

Harvest cycle kept stalling halfway, so the mold sat full and nothing dropped into the bin. He forced a cycle and watched it end to end before touching anything. Mold thermostat out of spec, replaced.
Nadia L.Port Madison · Jun 2026 Production stopped dead about a week after I changed the water filter, and I was sure I had broken something. He checked the fill at the mold, then found a shut-off valve that never fully reopened.
Reuben G.Winslow · Feb 2026 Short fills and undersized cubes, and two other outfits had already told me the module needed replacing. He measured the fill time, found the inlet valve barely opening, and changed just the valve.
