01Ice and Water
Freezer Ice Maker Replacement Cost
Parts and labour, this repair
$290–$860
Ice maker, water valve or supply line
The ice module in a freezer compartment, its inlet valve and the supply line up to the shut-off. Scale and a starved supply are both in here, and both are cheaper than they sound.
The visit itself is $89, and that comes off the repair the moment you say go. Everything above is the work that follows, on your cabinet, agreed as one figure first.
What is included
- The supply, the shut-off and the valve ruled out before the module is blamed
- The module itself, with the fittings and the plug that come away with it
- The water line reconnected and watched for weeping once pressure is back
- A full fill and harvest watched through before the visit closes
What changes the price
- Whether the valve is changed with it, which is common and cheaper done together
- Whether the line is frozen and has to be thawed before anything can be tested
- An ice bin or a drawer stack that has to come out for access
What actually stops the ice
An ice module is a small machine with one job and three dependencies: water arriving, a compartment cold enough to freeze it, and a bin with room in it. Take any one of those away and the result from the kitchen looks identical — an empty bin and no obvious fault. That is why the water side is tested before the module is touched at all.
When the module is genuinely the part
Once water is proved at the valve and the compartment is holding temperature, what is left is the module: a mould that never fills, a harvest that stalls halfway, or cubes arriving fused into one lump because the cycle is timing out. Replacing it is a swap of the unit, its plug and its fitting, and the visit ends with a fill and a harvest watched through rather than a promise that it will catch up overnight.
Where this goes next
Water that never reaches the bin often ends up frozen underneath it, which isthe ice slab page.
Before a module is replaced the cheaper part upstream is ruled out, and that isthe inlet valve.
Which of the two has failed is a pressure-and-meter question answered onthe flat-fee diagnosis.
Asked before the visit
The ice maker stopped. Does that always mean a new module?
No, and it is the last thing to assume. A closed shut-off, a starved supply, a valve that no longer opens and a line frozen where it enters the cabinet all produce an empty bin. The module is condemned once water has been proved to reach it and nothing happens.
Should the ice bin come out while you work?
Yes, and it usually goes back cleaner than it came out. Old ice takes up freezer smells and fuses into a block that jams the next harvest, so emptying it is part of the job. Sub-Zero Repair Experts Los Angeles runs a fill and a harvest before leaving — (310) 496-3358.

No ice for most of a week although the freezer itself was fine. He isolated it to the valve on the ice circuit rather than the module I expected to pay for. Booking took days.

September in the valley hit triple digits and the unit ran without ever satisfying. The condenser was matted with dust off the hillside. Cleaned properly, gauges checked, and it rests between cycles again.

Bottles on the lower rack were warm to the hand while the display insisted everything was fine, which is how it went unnoticed for weeks. The interior fan had died and the sensor sat in the wrong pocket. Both put right in one call.
