Why is my Uptown condo's ice maker making small, hollow cubes?

Undersized cubes usually mean the ice maker is getting too little water. An overdue filter, a pinched supply line behind a counter-depth fridge or a weak inlet valve are the usual reasons. We test the water pressure at the valve to narrow it down.

Do you fix the door ice maker on a French-door refrigerator in an Uptown apartment?

Yes. In-door ice makers have their own fan, seals and auger, and frost buildup in the compartment often slows or jams them. The technician checks the seal, clears the frost, tests the module and explains what needs replacing.

Water Lines Behind Built-In Refrigerators

Counter-depth and built-in refrigerators in Uptown kitchens leave very little room behind them, and the water line feeding the ice maker is often coiled, pinched or pushed against the wall when the unit is slid back. A partly crushed line or a clogged water filter starves the ice maker and produces small, hollow cubes. A fill tube that freezes shut stops production entirely, and in-door ice makers on French-door models can also suffer from a frosted chute or a weak compartment seal.

Replace the filter if it is overdue, confirm the ice maker arm or switch is on, and check that the freezer is cold enough. If your condo has a separate undercounter ice machine at a bar or island, it needs its drain clear and its front vent unobstructed.

The technician tests the inlet valve, the ice maker module and the fill tube, and inspects the line without forcing the fridge out of the cabinetry. You get the diagnosis and the price before the work starts, and if a part has to be ordered, you will know up front.

Before You Book: Ice Maker Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent ice maker problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Ice Maker Tripping Circuit BreakerSafety: Leave the breaker off if it trips repeatedly; don't attempt this yourself because it involves line voltage.
Water Flowing Constantly into Ice MakerSafety: Shut off the water supply to the ice maker right away.
Leaking Water: Turn off the water supply to the ice maker and dry the area so you can see where the water starts.
Water Reservoir Overflowing: Turn off the water supply and check the float for scale or debris.
