Ice Maker Repair Marietta GA
An ice maker repair in Marietta, GA typically costs $376 when a part is replaced, and the company-wide median across 3,471 completed ice maker jobs is $415, with most falling between $340 and $516 — parts, labor and the service call included. Standalone freezers run a little lower at a $385 median. Ice makers are the most expensive small repair we do, for one structural reason: the ice maker is usually a sealed module, so a single failed component inside it means the whole assembly gets replaced. Diagnostic is $99 and it is applied to the repair once you approve the work.
Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Marietta, GA
No ice, frozen solid, leaking into the tray, water dispenser dead, or a freezer that stopped holding temperature? We cover all seven Marietta ZIPs.
Ice makers and freezers are lower-volume calls in Marietta — 18 and 30 respectively — but they generate a disproportionate number of questions, because the symptoms are confusing. A refrigerator that cools perfectly but makes no ice looks like two unrelated appliances misbehaving; a freezer that frosts over looks cosmetic until food starts spoiling. Both are cheaper to fix than most people expect. Wider city coverage is on our appliance repair in Marietta GA page, and the fridge side is on refrigerator repair in Marietta GA.

Marietta specifically
Eighteen ice maker calls and thirty freezer calls in Marietta, with a median of $376 for ice maker work where a part was replaced and $365 for freezers. Ice maker volume is spread across 30064, 30062 and 30008 with a scatter through the rest. These are smaller numbers than our refrigerator or laundry work in the city, so we lean on the full company dataset above for pricing and use the local records for scheduling — Marietta sits on a dense Cobb County route either way.
The Failures Behind Most Ice Maker Calls
Refrigerator is cold, ice maker makes nothing $418 · 262 JOBS
The most common version of this call, and the one that confuses people most: the fridge is clearly working, so why is there no ice? Because ice production is a separate chain — water line, inlet valve, fill tube, then the module itself. Any break in that chain stops ice while cooling continues perfectly. If the water dispenser still works, the supply is fine and the problem is downstream in the module. If the dispenser is also dead, the problem is upstream in the valve or the line.
Frozen solid, iced over, water pooling in the tray $395 · 285 JOBS
Almost as common. Usually a frozen fill tube: the tube that feeds water into the mould ices shut, so the next fill either misses or overflows and freezes into a solid block behind the ice bin. Thawing it is a temporary fix, not a repair — it freezes again unless the underlying cause is dealt with, which is normally a failing inlet valve dribbling water or a defrost fault letting the compartment run too cold. Fill tube and line work runs $393.
Small, hollow or slow cubes $417 VALVE
This is a water pressure and volume story rather than a broken ice maker. A partially clogged inlet valve or a filter long past due gives short fills, and short fills give small hollow cubes. Water filter and housing work has a median of $439, and it is worth checking the filter age before booking anything — see refrigerator water filter replacement.
Dispenser dead, ice in the bin but nothing comes out $396 TO $408
204 completed jobs on doors and dispenser assemblies, 47 on the auger and its motor. This one is nearly always mechanical: the auger that pushes ice to the chute has jammed on a fused clump, or its motor or the door flap has failed. Ice in the bin plus a working ice maker plus nothing at the chute is a dispenser job, not an ice maker job.
Freezer stopped holding temperature $385 MEDIAN
Across 3,782 completed freezer jobs the median is $385. In a standalone freezer the usual causes are the defrost system, the evaporator fan, the thermostat or the door seal — the same list as a refrigerator, minus most of the electronics. Chest freezers in Marietta garages have their own seasonal pattern: they struggle first in July and August when the garage runs hot, and the answer is often airflow and placement rather than a part.
Heavy frost building on the walls $415 DEFROST
Frost is the freezer telling you either the defrost system has failed or humid air is getting in past a tired door seal. Defrost and evaporator work runs $415. Left alone it buries the evaporator in ice, at which point the compartment stops cooling properly and you lose the food anyway. Detail in freezer frost buildup.
🧊 Ice maker modules for the common Samsung, Whirlpool, GE and LG platforms ride on the truck — most of these finish on the first visit.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- No ice, water dispenser still works — the problem is downstream: the ice maker module ($415) or a frozen fill tube ($393). Water supply is proven fine by the dispenser.
- No ice and no dispenser water — upstream: the water inlet valve ($417), the supply line, or a filter so clogged it is choking flow.
- Solid block of ice behind the bin — fill tube icing and overfilling. Thawing it buys days, not months.
- Cubes small, hollow or misshapen — low fill volume: partially blocked valve or an old filter.
- Ice tastes or smells wrong — filter past due, or ice sitting in the bin for months absorbing freezer odours. Rarely a mechanical fault.
- Ice in the bin but nothing dispenses — auger, auger motor or the door flap ($396 to $408).
- Ice maker cycles constantly and floods — the shutoff arm or the sensor that tells the module the bin is full.
- Freezer running but food is thawing — defrost system, evaporator fan or a door seal ($385 median).
- Heavy frost on the freezer walls — defrost fault or a seal letting humid air in ($415).
- Garage freezer struggling in summer — many units are not rated for high ambient temperatures. Often placement and airflow, not a broken part, and we will say so.
Repair or replace an ice maker
Straight answer: replacing the ice maker module is the repair — it is not a sign the refrigerator is finished. At a $415 median against $1,200 to $2,500 for a comparable refrigerator, an ice maker failure never justifies replacing the appliance. The question worth asking is whether the module is genuinely dead or whether the water supply feeding it is the real fault, because the second is cheaper and gets missed constantly.

Standalone freezers typically last 12 to 15 years — see how long freezers last.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Marietta — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker repair cost in Marietta, GA?
The median in Marietta is $376 when a part is replaced, and the company-wide median across 3,471 completed ice maker jobs is $415, with most between $340 and $516. In Georgia specifically the median is $429. That total includes parts, labor and the service call. By part: frozen fill tube $393, dispenser assembly $396, auger motor $408, ice maker module $415, water inlet valve $417, filter housing $439, control board $472. The diagnostic is $99 and it is applied to the repair when you approve the work.
My refrigerator is cold but the ice maker makes no ice. Why?
Because ice production runs on a separate chain from cooling: water line, inlet valve, fill tube, then the ice maker module. Any break in that chain stops ice while the fridge keeps cooling normally. Quick self-check: if the water dispenser still works, the supply is fine and the fault is in the module, median $415. If the dispenser is dead too, the problem is upstream at the inlet valve or the supply line, median $417.
Why is my ice maker frozen into a solid block?
Usually the fill tube has iced shut, so each fill either misses the mould or overflows and freezes behind the bin. It is one of the most common versions of this call, 285 completed jobs at a median of $395. Thawing it yourself buys a few days: unless the underlying cause is fixed — normally a leaking inlet valve or a defrost fault — it freezes again.
Why are my ice cubes small and hollow?
Low fill volume rather than a broken ice maker. A partially blocked water inlet valve or a water filter long past its replacement date gives short fills, and short fills produce small, hollow, misshapen cubes. Check the filter age first, because that is the cheapest thing on the list.
Is it worth replacing an ice maker, or should I get a new refrigerator?
Replace the ice maker. At a $415 median against $1,200 to $2,500 for a comparable refrigerator, an ice maker failure is never a reason to replace the appliance. Most modern ice makers are sealed modules that manufacturers do not break down into parts, which is why the module replacement is the repair rather than a sign of a bigger problem.
My freezer is running but food is thawing. What is it?
Across 3,782 completed freezer jobs the median is $385, and the usual causes are the defrost system, the evaporator fan, the thermostat or a door seal that no longer closes properly. Heavy frost on the walls points at defrost or the seal specifically, at around $415. It is worth booking quickly because a freezer losing temperature costs more in food than the repair does.
My garage freezer struggles every summer. Is it broken?
Often not. Many freezers and refrigerators are not rated for the ambient temperatures a Georgia garage reaches in July and August, and the unit simply cannot shed heat fast enough. The fix is frequently placement, clearance and airflow rather than a part, and we will tell you that instead of selling you a repair you do not need.
