Ice makers and ice machines in Sarasota homes
An ice call usually starts with “the fridge stopped making ice”. That is the ice maker inside the freezer. The other kind is a standalone machine: an undercounter unit in a kitchen island or a wet bar, or a commercial machine behind a bar or in a club kitchen. They fail in different ways, so tell dispatch which one you have and read the model number off the label.
Refrigerator ice makers
No ice with a cold freezer usually means water is not getting through. Most often the filter is overdue or the inlet valve has gone weak, and in some freezers the fill tube ices over. Small, hollow cubes point the same way. If water arrives and nothing happens, the ice maker module or its control is next. A replacement ice maker assembly is usually a two to three business day order, and the second visit is not charged a new service call.
Undercounter ice machines
Units like the Sub-Zero UC-15 have their own water valve and a drain, and many of them pump the drain water out. Leaks tend to come from the drain line or that pump. Slow production is often scale on the freezing plate or a dirty condenser behind the front grille. Along the Gulf Coast last season we worked on a leaking UC-15 in Bonita Springs, and in February on several refrigerator ice makers on Marco Island.
Commercial ice machines
We take light commercial calls. Last season one of them was an Ice-O-Matic in North Fort Myers that kept stopping at random. On a commercial machine we look at harvest and water flow first, and at scale, before a board or a pump is ordered.
Water, salt air and summer shutdowns
Minerals in the water end up as scale inside ice makers and machines, and a machine that sits through a Gulf summer in a garage or on a lanai runs much harder than one indoors. Units close to the bay also collect salt on the condenser. Census data counts about 15 percent of Sarasota County homes as seasonal, and an ice maker left on in an empty house can fuse old cubes into a block the auger cannot turn.
Before you leave for the summer, turn the ice maker off, empty the bin and close the water valve. When you come back, change the filter if it is more than six months old and throw out the first batches of ice.
Installing a new ice maker or machine
If you are replacing a refrigerator ice maker or an undercounter machine, we can install the new one where the water line and the drain are already in place. Running a new water line or a new drain is a plumber’s job, and we do not do plumbing.

The service call is $59 and it is credited to the repair if you go ahead. You get a written price before any part is ordered. Parts carry our tiered warranty, up to 10 years on sealed-system welds, and labor is covered for 90 days.

FAQ: ice machine repair in Sarasota
Why does my ice maker make small or hollow cubes?
It is short on water. Change the refrigerator’s water filter first. If the cubes stay small, the inlet valve and its screen get tested before anyone replaces the ice maker.
My undercounter ice machine is leaking. What should I do?
Close the water valve to the machine if you can reach it and put a towel down. Most leaks on these units come from the drain line or the drain pump. If both check out, the water valve may not be closing all the way.
Do you repair commercial ice machines?
Light commercial, yes. Give dispatch the brand and model, and say whether the machine is not making ice, making it slowly or leaking.
