Ice Maker Problems We Fix in Freezer, Undercounter and Built-In Units
Ice Maker Not Making Ice
The usual cause is a failed water inlet valve or a frozen fill tube; a faulty thermistor or control board can also stop the Sub-Zero ice cycle. We check the freezer temperature too, because a warm freezer melts the ice.
Slow, Small or Cloudy Ice
Low water pressure, common in Manhattan co-op and condo buildings, and an overdue water filter cause small, cloudy or bad-tasting ice. A new filter and condenser coil cleaning, as routine maintenance, restore output.
Leaks and Overflow
A water leak or ice clumping in the bin points to a cracked fill tube, loose supply line, clogged drain or door seal gasket fault. Frost near the ice maker signals a defrost heater problem.
Error Code or Noise
A flashing service light, error code or loud noise during the ice cycle is traced to the module, valve or fan motor in built-in, panel-ready luxury condo units, with a 90-day warranty.

Questions
Usually a failed water inlet valve, a frozen fill tube, a faulty ice maker module or a warm freezer. A technician finds the cause during the diagnosis and gives a written estimate.
A cracked fill tube, loose supply line, clogged drain or worn door gasket usually causes the leak. We repair it with OEM genuine parts and check the water filter at the same visit.
Follow the Sub-Zero filter light or the model manual; an overdue water filter causes cloudy, slow or bad-tasting ice. We replace it during any ice maker visit on request.
