Ice Maker Repair in Lancaster, SC

An ice maker can only make what the water line delivers. On wells outside Lancaster, sediment and iron clog the refrigerator's filter and the fine screen inside its inlet valve, so cubes come out small, hollow or not at all. Replacing the filter is the first step, and a whole-house sediment filter kept on schedule protects the valve over time.

In older homes in town, the line to the refrigerator may be thin tubing added long after the kitchen was built. Those lines kink when the refrigerator is moved and the valves feeding them can corrode partly closed. Pull the refrigerator out carefully, check the tubing for kinks and make sure the valve is fully open.

If water reaches the refrigerator but the ice maker still does not cycle, the fill tube may be frozen or the ice maker module may have failed. Lancaster visits may be grouped into route days, so note the refrigerator's model number before you call. The technician tests the valve, fill tube and module, tells you whether the fault is plumbing or appliance, and quotes the repair before starting.
