The Machines We Are Called To in Cumming
A walk-in freezer and a countertop Vevor are different trades with different prices, and a Manitowoc commercial cuber runs a sealed system many times the size of a domestic ice maker.
For household machines the Bozmanfix company-wide record is the guide. From 4,360 completed jobs across the two appliances, the medians are $417 with a part on an ice maker and $385 on a freezer, and the component tables below are where the useful detail lives.

The Documented Cumming Ice Maker Work Is Filed Under Refrigerator
Here is the useful part. The Cumming invoices that do say what was wrong with an ice maker are all on refrigerators, because in these houses the ice maker is inside the fridge door rather than a separate machine.
An LG at $431 where the diagnosis reads: the ice maker auger motor, the motor responsible for pushing ice through the dispenser, has been tested and found faulty. A Samsung at $495 where the ice maker valve and its board were replaced together. A Samsung French-door at $237 where the ice maker was completely frozen over because its own internal heater had failed. And one invoice whose entire description is: Ice is not being produced, at $501.
Those four are the real Cumming ice-maker record, and three of them name a component. Two things follow.
If your ice maker is in the door of a refrigerator – which in a house built between 1995 and 2015 it almost certainly is – the Cumming refrigerator page is the one with the local numbers on it, and the fault is very often a heater or a motor rather than the ice maker as a unit.
And if you have a standalone machine – a chest freezer, an undercounter ice maker, a commercial cuber – then this page and its company-wide tables are yours.
Why Cumming Freezers and Ice Makers Fail the Way They Do
Lake Lanier, and where the second freezer actually lives 8.8 SQ MI OF WATER
ZIP 30041 contains 8.835 square miles of water, which is Lake Lanier inside the ZIP boundary, and the lake as a whole covers 37,000 acres along the county’s eastern edge. That geography puts a specific machine in a specific place.
A lakeside or lake-access house very often has a second refrigerator or a chest freezer in a boathouse, an unconditioned basement or a garage, holding drinks and fish and frozen food, running all summer with nobody looking at it.
The mechanism is simple: a freezer in an unconditioned space is asked to hold 0 °F while the air around its condenser sits above 100 °F, and a machine that coped for eight summers fails in the ninth.
Two things buy you years. Pull it away from the wall so the condenser can breathe and vacuum the coils before the summer rather than after. And do not wall it in behind boxes. If yours is a garage or boathouse unit, say so on the call, because it changes what the technician expects to find. Frost patterns are decoded in freezer frost buildup.
The fill tube, and one of the lower-priced real repairs on this page $432
The commonest ice maker fault is not the ice maker. It is the fill tube: the short plastic pipe carrying water from the inlet valve at the back of the cabinet to the ice mould at the front.
If it dribbles instead of pulsing, the last drops freeze inside the tube, the next fill freezes on top of them, and within a fortnight the tube is a solid rod of ice.
The mould never fills, the machine keeps cycling, and what reaches us is the ice maker is broken when the ice maker is fine. Clearing it is $432 company-wide, near the bottom of the ice maker table, and the cause behind it is usually the inlet valve at $429 or a filter past its flow.
A two-hour bin test is worth mentioning on the call: empty the bin completely, note the time, and look again two hours later. A healthy household machine drops one harvest of eight to ten cubes in that window. Nothing at all points at the fill tube or the valve.
A partial harvest of hollow or undersized cubes points at water pressure, which is the filter. Background in ice maker not making ice.
Commercial machines are a different market, and this file has three of them MANITOWOC · WALK-IN · VEVOR
Three of our Cumming jobs here are commercial machines: a Manitowoc commercial ice maker, a walk-in freezer and a Vevor countertop ice machine – plus, on a separate untagged invoice, a commercial unit written up as unit was not cooling, water condensation is too much to handle at $442.
We do attend commercial refrigeration, and those visits are real work. What we will not do is average them into a domestic page, because the arithmetic is different by an order of magnitude: a commercial cuber’s compressor and condensing unit are priced against a household ice maker module at $451, not against each other.
If you have a machine in a restaurant, a bar, a break room or a walk-in box in Cumming, call us and you will get a commercial quote for a commercial machine. If you have an ice maker in a kitchen refrigerator, the tables on this page are yours and the commercial figures are not.
One water source, so a scale or filter problem is the machine LAKE LANIER · 24 MGD
An ice maker is the appliance most exposed to the water supply, because unlike a dispenser it runs unattended and freezes whatever arrives. Cumming’s supply is unusually simple to describe.
Every drop in these three ZIP codes comes from Lake Lanier, pumped and treated by the City of Cumming at its own 24 million gallon per day Potable Water Production Facility at 935 Dahlonega Highway, and the city is the sole provider of raw water to the entire county – Forsyth County built its own treatment plant in 1998 but buys the raw water through the city’s single intake.
There are no private wells and no second utility, so every ice maker on this route is fed water of exactly the same character. The 2026 water quality report, from tests run in 2025 on system GA1170000, records sodium at 7.9 ppm, turbidity at 0.09 NTU and total organic carbon at 1.3 ppm with no violations.
It does not report hardness. The practical rule instead: change the filter when the cubes shrink or the harvest slows, not when the calendar says six months. Guidance is on refrigerator water filter replacement.
A sealed-system fault on an old freezer is a real decision SEALED SYSTEM
A new chest freezer is among the cheapest major appliances there is, so a $700 sealed-system quote on a fifteen-year-old garage unit is close to the replacement price – and in a county with a median household income of $112,834 and 82 percent home ownership, that decision gets made in about ten seconds.
On a machine that old we put both numbers in front of you before anything is ordered.
Below the sealed system the picture reverses completely: a defrost heater at $370, a fan at $396 or a gasket at $397 on a freezer that is otherwise sound is worth doing every time, and a leaking gasket is often the reason the machine has been running constantly in the first place.
Not freezing: two patterns, two very different bills $370 VS $700
A freezer that is not freezing has two families of cause and telling them apart is the whole visit.
If the cabinet is cold but not cold enough, or if frost is building on the back wall while the food softens, the defrost system has failed and the evaporator coil is packed in ice: $370 for the heater or timer, $396 if the fan blade was frozen into that ice and has to be replaced with it.
If the cabinet is at room temperature and either silent or clicking every few minutes, that is the sealed system, and it is a $700 compressor before the conversation about the age of the machine even starts.
What we will not do is condemn a compressor without testing the cheap thing that imitates it, because a start relay produces exactly the same symptom – a quiet cabinet that clicks every few minutes – and only a meter separates them.
On a chest freezer, tell us at booking whether the gasket is holding all the way round the lid. See signs of a bad compressor.
🚚 Freezer calls go to the front of the schedule alongside refrigerators, because a thawing load is on a clock. 142 Cumming jobs in the last twelve months means the van is on the GA-400 corridor most weeks.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- No ice at all, machine silent – the bail arm or the switch, then the fill tube at $432, then the inlet valve at $429. $419 by symptom company-wide across 359 Bozmanfix jobs. The result of a two-hour bin test tells the technician where to start.
- Cubes small, hollow or crescent-shaped – water pressure rather than mechanism: the filter first, then the inlet valve at $429. On a single-source surface-water supply, a filter past its flow is the likeliest and cheapest answer.
- Ice in the bin has fused into one solid block – either a valve that keeps trickling or, on a French-door refrigerator, the ice maker’s own internal heater. One Cumming invoice names exactly that: the ice maker completely frozen over because the internal heater had failed, at $237. Two different repairs from one complaint.
- Ice comes out crushed, jammed or not at all from the dispenser – the auger motor, the part that pushes ice through the chute. One Cumming diagnosis is precisely this, an LG auger motor tested and found faulty, at $431.
- Freezer running constantly but the food is soft – frost on the back wall means the defrost heater or timer at $370; clear coils and a warm cabinet mean the fan at $396; a garage or boathouse unit in June means the condenser first. $385 by symptom across 513 jobs.
- Freezer at room temperature, quiet or clicking every few minutes – the sealed system. A start relay imitates a dead compressor exactly, and only a meter separates them. The compressor is $700 company-wide, and on a fifteen-year-old chest freezer we lay out repair and replacement side by side.
- A commercial cuber, a walk-in box or an undercounter machine – different machine, different arithmetic. We attend them in this city and our own record includes a Manitowoc, a walk-in freezer and a Vevor countertop unit. The domestic figures on this page do not apply to those, and you will get a commercial quote instead.
The Cumming oven page and the dishwasher repair in Cumming page carry their own local figures, each with the sample size next to it.
Repair or Replace, on the Cumming Numbers
On a built-in ice maker inside a working refrigerator, repair wins almost always: the machine you would be replacing is a $2,000-plus refrigerator, and the fault is a $432 fill tube, a $429 valve, a $451 module or – as three Cumming invoices show – an auger motor, an internal heater or a valve and board.
On a standalone freezer the arithmetic is genuinely different. A new chest freezer is among the cheapest major appliances there is, so a $700 sealed-system repair on a fifteen-year-old garage unit is close to the replacement price, and we lay out both options.
Below the sealed system the picture reverses: a defrost heater at $370, a fan at $396 or a gasket at $397 on a freezer that is otherwise sound is worth doing every time. Service lives are in how long freezers last and the arithmetic in the repair versus replacement guide.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Cumming – Questions We Get
Where do the prices on this page come from?
From Bozmanfix’s company-wide record: 2,191 ice maker jobs and 2,406 freezer jobs, $417 with a part on an ice maker and $385 on a freezer.
Our Cumming jobs span very different machines, from a walk-in freezer, a Manitowoc commercial cuber, a countertop Vevor ice machine and an EdgeStar undercounter unit to household Samsung, KitchenAid, GE and Frigidaire machines, so the company-wide tables are the right guide for a household unit.
How much does ice maker repair cost?
Company-wide the Bozmanfix median is $417 with a part replaced, and the middle half runs $341 to $517.
By component, including the part, the labor and the service call together: clearing a frozen fill tube $432, defrost heater or timer $419, water inlet valve $429, evaporator or condenser fan $438, water filter changed on the visit $451, ice maker module or assembly $451, thermostat or sensor $470, control board $488.
By symptom, no ice at all is $419 across 359 jobs and an ice maker leaking is $392 across 248. Those are domestic figures and they do not apply to a commercial cuber or a walk-in box.
My ice maker is in the refrigerator door. Is this the right page?
The refrigerator page is the better fit. In a house built between 1995 and 2015, which is most of Cumming, the ice maker is inside the fridge door and we log the visit as refrigerator work, which is why the Cumming invoices that actually name an ice maker fault are all on that file.
Three of them name a component: an LG auger motor, the part that pushes ice through the dispenser, tested and found faulty at $431; a Samsung where the ice maker valve and its board were replaced together at $495; and a Samsung French-door where the ice maker had frozen solid because its own internal heater had failed, at $237.
A fourth reads simply: ice is not being produced, at $501. The local numbers are on the Cumming refrigerator page.
My ice maker has stopped. What should I tell you when I book?
Two things. Whether the wire bail arm or the on-off switch on the ice maker itself is in the on position.
And what a two-hour bin test shows, with the bin emptied first: a healthy household machine drops one harvest of eight to ten cubes in that window. Nothing at all points at a frozen fill tube at $432 or a failed inlet valve at $429.
A partial harvest of small or hollow cubes points at water pressure, which usually means the filter. Tell us which of the three you saw when you book and the technician arrives expecting the right fault.
Do you repair commercial ice machines and walk-in freezers in Cumming?
Yes, and our own local record shows it: a Manitowoc commercial ice maker, a walk-in freezer, a Vevor countertop machine and a separate commercial unit written up as not cooling with water condensation too heavy to handle. What we will not do is price them off this page.
A commercial cuber runs a sealed system many times the size of a domestic ice maker and its parts are priced accordingly, so a domestic figure would be wrong in both directions. If you have a machine in a restaurant, a bar, a break room or a walk-in box, call and you will get a commercial quote for a commercial machine.
My garage freezer stopped in the middle of summer. Is that a coincidence?
No.
A chest or upright freezer in an unconditioned garage, basement or boathouse is asked to hold 0 °F while the air around its condenser sits above 100 °F, and a machine that managed eight summers will fail in the ninth.
This matters more here than in most places because ZIP 30041 contains 8.835 square miles of Lake Lanier and lake-access houses very often have a second freezer out of the way. Tell us it is a garage unit on the call, because a smothered condenser coil produces every symptom a failing compressor does and the technician checks it first.
How long do I have before the food in a broken freezer is unsafe?
USDA guidance is that a full freezer holds a safe temperature for about 48 hours with the door kept shut, and a half-full one for about 24, so the first instruction is to stop opening it. Food that still has ice crystals or is at 40 °F or below can be refrozen; anything held above 40 °F for more than four hours should be discarded.
Tell us how long it has been and whether the freezer is full when you book, because those two answers decide how far up the schedule you go. Freezer and refrigerator calls get priority over every other appliance for exactly this reason.
