Ice Maker Repair Athens GA
Ice maker and freezer repair in Athens, GA takes its price guide from Georgia, where a repair with a part has a $385 median and a middle half of $299 to $524. Company-wide, the full ticket is $415 for an ice maker repair and $385 for a freezer.
Ice Maker and Freezer Service in Athens
An ice bin that stays empty, cubes that come out small or hollow, water leaking from the ice maker, a freezer that has gone soft, frost building on the back wall, or a chest freezer that has stopped. We work on ice makers inside refrigerators, separate ice machines, and both upright and chest freezers.
Our records list nine standalone ice maker, ice machine and freezer jobs at Athens addresses, across seven households. That is too few repairs to publish a local median, so this page uses the Georgia and company figures and says so plainly.
Most Athens Ice Trouble Arrives as a Refrigerator Call
In many kitchens the ice maker is not a separate machine. It sits in the freezer compartment or in the door of the refrigerator, fed by the same water line as the dispenser. When it stops, people book a refrigerator visit.
Our Athens records bear that out. Ten of our Athens refrigerator records describe an ice maker that stopped, a dispenser that gave no water or ice, or water leaking into the ice maker. That is more than the nine jobs filed as standalone ice maker and freezer work.
It does not matter which way you book. If the ice maker lives inside your refrigerator, the technician tests the water supply, the inlet valve, the fill tube and the ice maker module together, since a fault in one shows up as no ice from the other. Refrigerator repair in Athens covers the rest of the cabinet.
The Prices to Plan With
| Measure | Median with a part | Middle half |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker and freezer, Georgia | $385 | $299 to $524 |
| Ice maker, company-wide | $415 | $340 to $512 |
| Freezer, company-wide | $385 | $302 to $500 |
In Georgia we count ice makers and freezers as one group, and its middle half runs to $524, a window of $225. Ice makers run $30 dearer than freezers at the company median. Our own Athens repairs with a part are too few for a median, which is why no Athens column appears here.
For a refrigerator ice maker, the refrigerator figures apply as well. Our Athens refrigerator median with a part is $410, and the inlet valve and the module, the two parts that ice and water share, come to $401 and $449 on the company refrigerator list.

What the Athens Ice and Freezer Work Includes
Standalone ice machines A UNIT OF ITS OWN
Our Athens records include an ice machine that is a unit of its own rather than part of a refrigerator. A standalone ice machine has its own water supply, its own pump and its own cleaning cycle, and the model number matters even more than it does on a refrigerator.
Tell us the make and model when you book, along with whether the unit has a drain line or a pump.
Chest and upright freezers DEFROST $364 · COMPRESSOR $700
Our Athens freezer jobs include a separate deep freezer, the kind kept in a garage, a basement or a utility room. A freezer that has stopped entirely can point at the thermostat, the start components or the compressor; one that frosts up points at the defrost system on frost-free models.
Freezer frost buildup explains the defrost side, and how long freezers last covers expected life.
Leaks from the ice maker $380 COMPANY-WIDE
Athens records include an ice maker leak repaired on a GE freezer and a refrigerator with water leaking into its ice maker. A leak can come from the inlet valve, the fill tube or the module itself, and the company median for a leaking ice maker is $380.
Water on the floor? Shut the valve that feeds the refrigerator, then book.
Soft water on the supply line TOTAL HARDNESS 34 MG/L
In September 2025 the county’s plant sample read 34 mg/L of total hardness, comfortably inside the 0 to 60 mg/L that the USGS classes as soft. That water starts in Bear Creek Reservoir and two forks of the Oconee.
Soft water does not make the filter optional, since it also guards the inlet valve. The date of your last filter change helps, and refrigerator water filter replacement explains how often to change it.
No ice, dispenser still working MODULE $449 · FILL TUBE $393
If water still comes from the door but the ice bin stays empty, the supply is reaching the refrigerator, and attention turns to the fill tube, the module and the freezer temperature. A frozen fill tube is the lower line on the list at $393; the module is $449.
Ice maker not making ice walks through the pattern, and Samsung refrigerator ice maker problems covers one model family in detail.
Freezers after a power outage 48 HOURS FULL · 24 HALF
Keep the lid shut. A packed freezer holds safe for around two days and a half-packed one for around a day, per the USDA. Anything still carrying ice crystals, or holding at 40°F or colder, is fine to freeze again.
If the freezer will not restart or will not pull down to temperature after the power returns, book a visit and tell us how long the outage lasted.
Three details for the dispatcher
1. What kind of unit. Which unit. Refrigerator ice maker, stand-alone ice machine, chest freezer or upright.
2. What it does. No ice, small cubes, a leak, a soft freezer, frost, or no power at all.
3. The model number. On the rating label inside the compartment or on the back of the unit.
Book online, or call (470) 777-7697 and tell us what kind of unit has stopped.
The Symptom and the Parts It Can Mean
- Ice bin empty, water dispenser works: a fill tube iced shut, a failed module, or a freezer that is not cold enough.
- No ice and no water: the water inlet valve, a clogged filter or the supply line.
- Small or hollow cubes: a filter overdue for a change, weak pressure at the supply, or a worn valve.
- Water leaking from the ice maker: the fill tube, the inlet valve or the module.
- Freezer soft, refrigerator side fine: the evaporator fan, the defrost system or the thermostat.
- A white crust spreading across the freezer’s rear panel: the defrost cycle has stopped, through its heater, its thermostat or its timer.
- Chest freezer silent and warm: the thermostat, the start relay or the compressor.
Where Athens Ice and Freezer Calls Come From
The nine standalone ice and freezer jobs in our Athens records come from two postal areas: 5 from 30606 and 4 from 30605. We serve 30601 and 30607 on the same terms.
Some Athens postal areas cross the county line. County lines cut across two of these areas. About a quarter of 30606 (26.4 percent) reaches into Oconee, and 30607 is mostly Jackson County land. Crossing them changes nothing about our fee, the discounts or the 90-day warranty.
Ice Makers and Freezers Against Every Appliance in Athens
For context, the all-appliance Athens figure is $340, with tickets mostly between $283 and $452. Our Georgia ice and freezer median, $385, is $45 higher than the city figure and $25 lower than the Athens refrigerator median.
The Georgia all-appliance median is $364, so ice makers and freezers sit a little above the Georgia median for every appliance taken together. Each appliance’s Athens numbers are gathered on the Athens appliance repair page.
Homes, Owners and Tenants
Rented homes make up 59.3 percent of occupied housing in Athens-Clarke, and the median year built is 1987, both in the 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey. A refrigerator ice maker in a rental belongs to the owner, while the tenant is the one who notices the empty bin.
For a rented home, give the dispatcher two names: the person at the door and the person who says yes to the price. Eight of our Athens records across all appliances carry a note of that kind, and the visit runs more smoothly when the dispatcher knows it in advance. The diagnostic, the warranty and the discounts are the same for owners, tenants and landlords.
An Athens Ice or Freezer Visit, Step by Step
- Diagnosis. The technician tests the unit for $99 and works out the whole repair price.
- Price before work. One figure that includes part, labor and visit.
- Approval. Say yes and the $99 comes off the total.
- Warranty. 90 days on parts and labor after the repair.
Fix the Ice Maker or Replace the Unit
For an ice maker inside a refrigerator, the repair is set against a new refrigerator, not a new ice maker, and the module at $449 company-wide sits well below that. For a chest or upright freezer, the compressor at $700 is the repair that deserves a pause on an older unit.
The repair or replace guide sets out the figures. The diagnosis ends with a price, and what happens next is up to you.

Ice and Freezer Questions From Athens Customers
How much is ice maker repair in Athens, GA?
We price it from our Georgia ice maker and freezer median of $385 with a part, half of those bills between $299 and $524. Company-wide an ice maker repair comes to $415. There are not yet enough Athens ice maker repairs to give a local median.
How much does freezer repair cost in Athens?
Our company-wide freezer median is $385; freezer tickets mostly fall from $302 to $500. Only the $700 compressor breaks out of the $364 to $494 range the other freezer repairs share.
The ice maker in my refrigerator quit. Which service do I book?
Book whichever you like; the supply, the inlet valve, the fill tube and the module get tested as one system either way. Ten of our Athens refrigerator records were about ice or the dispenser.
The water dispenser works but there is no ice. What is wrong?
The water is reaching the refrigerator, so the fill tube, the ice maker module or the freezer temperature are the likely places. Across the company, a frozen fill tube cleared is $393 and a new module $449.
Do you repair standalone ice machines and chest freezers?
Yes. Our Athens records include standalone ice machines and a deep freezer as well as refrigerator ice makers. Give us the make and model when you book.
My freezer stopped. How much time does the food have?
Keep the lid or door shut. The USDA puts the limit at roughly two days for a packed freezer and one day for a half-empty one, and food that still shows ice crystals or stays at 40°F or colder can go back in.
Is Athens water hard on ice makers?
Athens water is soft. The county’s September 2025 plant sample measured 34 mg/L, soft on the USGS scale. A filter changed on schedule still protects the valve.
