What Ice Maker and Freezer Repair Costs
Company-wide rows throughout. Each figure is the part, the labor and the service call together. Ice maker work is our most expensive appliance category on average, at a $415 median, largely because so much of it is water-line work behind and inside a cabinet rather than a simple swap.
| Repair | Median, full ticket | Source | Jobs (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frozen fill tube cleared | $393 | Company-wide | 40 |
| Defrost heater or timer | $415 | Company-wide | 70 |
| Water inlet valve | $428 | Company-wide | 69 |
| Evaporator or condenser fan | $432 | Company-wide | 60 |
| Water filter replaced on the visit | $440 | Company-wide | 79 |
| Ice maker module | $449 | Company-wide | 57 |
| Control board | $488 | Company-wide | 32 |

Why Arlington Ice Makers Fail the Way They Do
This is the appliance where Arlington water matters most, and here we can give you the utility figure rather than an estimate. JEA draws from the Floridan aquifer about a thousand feet down, aerates it to strip the sulphur odour that groundwater carries, then chlorinates it.
There is no softening step anywhere in that process. JEA publishes the resulting hardness by ZIP code, and Arlington sits at the harder end of its own service territory: 32225 at 307 parts per million or 18 grains per gallon, 32211 at 297, and 32277 at 285 — all three classified Very Hard.
An ice maker is the appliance that handles the largest volume of that water through the narrowest passages: a fill tube perhaps six millimetres across, a solenoid valve that cycles many times a day, and a mould that freezes and thaws continuously.
The filter is the first thing to check and the most common thing we find THE FIRST THING WE CHECK
At 18 grains per gallon a refrigerator water filter has a harder life than the manual assumes, and a filter that is merely tight rather than fully seated behaves exactly like a blockage — reduced flow, small or hollow cubes, then no ice at all.
Tell us at booking when the filter was last changed or reseated.
Company-wide we have 79 jobs where replacing the water filter on the visit was part of the work, at a $440 median. Detail on when to change the water filter.
Water valve work turns up in Arlington more than anywhere nearby FIVE TICKETS ACROSS THE DISTRICT
Across our 268 Arlington jobs, five separate invoices name a water valve, and one of those replaced three water supply valves on a single refrigerator at $516.25. No other district on this side of the city shows more than two.
That is consistent with what JEA prints: a solenoid opening and closing into 300 parts per million of dissolved calcium and magnesium is a wear part rather than a lifetime one.
The company median for that repair on an ice system is $428 across 69 jobs. A failing inlet valve is also the usual cause of an ice maker that leaks or overfills.
All ice work here is on refrigerators, not standalone machines INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR CABINET
Every domestic ice job we can identify in Arlington happened inside a refrigerator — the module, the fill tube, the valve, the filter. We service under-counter and standalone machines as well; the standalone unit in the Arlington book is the commercial freezer at $403.
That shapes what to expect from a visit: the technician is working inside a refrigerator cabinet, which is why the ice maker median of $415 sits above the general refrigerator median of $394. See the Arlington refrigerator page for the rest of that book.
Anything with food in it jumps the queue. Freezer calls take priority across 32225, 32277 and 32211. Book online or call (954) 902-6229.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- No ice at all, water dispenser still works — the ice maker module at $449, or the arm switched off. If the water side works, the supply is fine and the fault is in the maker itself. Company-wide, no ice at all is 348 repairs at a $420 median.
- No ice and no water — filter, then inlet valve at $428, then the supply line. One Arlington refrigerator needed three water supply valves at $516.25.
- Small, hollow or cloudy cubes — restricted flow. Filter, a partly closed shut-off valve, or a fill tube starting to ice up. Clearing a frozen fill tube is $393 company-wide and is the cheapest thing on the ice table.
- Ice maker leaking, or a sheet of ice in the bottom of the freezer — usually the inlet valve failing to shut fully, or the fill tube misaligned. Company-wide ice maker leaking is 515 repairs at a $380 median.
- Freezer not freezing but the fridge is fine — defrost heater or timer at $364, evaporator fan at $396, or the thermostat at $390. Company-wide 488 repairs at a $377 median. See freezer frost buildup.
- Standalone freezer warm, compressor running constantly — sealed system, at a $700 company median across 107 jobs. On a chest or upright freezer more than about ten years old this is where replacement becomes a serious argument. See how long freezers last.
Where in Arlington We See This Work
The ice and freezer tickets on this page come from 32225 and 32211. 32277 has 71 jobs on our book and the same very hard water at 285 ppm, so the same wear pattern applies there.
On the name: the Postal Service lists all three ZIPs as Jacksonville and nothing else, with Jax as a name to avoid. Arlington is the district name, used by residents and by the City of Jacksonville, which runs Greater Arlington as one of six planning districts.
| ZIP | Ice and freezer work we can identify | Water hardness | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32225 Jacksonville | 1 tagged, 2 untagged ice maker replacements | 307 ppm · 18 grains | Very Hard |
| 32211 Jacksonville | 1 tagged (commercial freezer), 1 untagged | 297 ppm · 17 grains | Very Hard |
| 32277 Jacksonville | Same route, same water | 285 ppm · 17 grains | Very Hard |
| Water source | Floridan aquifer, about 1,000 feet down, aerated then chlorinated. No softening step | JEA | |
Around Arlington
Ice and freezer work in the neighbouring districts is on its own pages, each built on its own local tickets. East over the Intracoastal are Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach. South is the University of North Florida area, where a single ice ticket ran to $931.
West across the river are Riverside, Avondale and Springfield and Northwest Jacksonville. Down the river are San Marco and San Jose, and Mandarin. In St. Johns County, Nocatee sits on the hardest water JEA publishes anywhere. The Arlington set starts at the Arlington appliance repair hub.
Repair or Replace
Ice makers and freezers pull in opposite directions here. An ice maker module at $449 is being weighed against a refrigerator that is otherwise perfectly good, so replacement is not really on the table — we give you the number and the choice is yours.
A standalone freezer is the reverse: a chest or upright unit costs perhaps $400 to $900 new, so the $700 company median for a freezer compressor is genuinely close to a replacement, and on a unit over about ten years old we will usually say so ourselves.
Everything below the sealed system — defrost heater at $364, gasket at $389, thermostat at $390, fan at $396 — is comfortably worth doing. Framework: repair or replace guide and ice maker not making ice.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Arlington — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker repair cost in Arlington, Jacksonville?
Budget from Bozmanfix’s company figures: $415 for ice maker work with a part replaced across 2,091 repairs, with a middle half of $340 to $512, and $385 for freezers across 2,269 repairs.
By component: clearing a frozen fill tube $393, defrost heater or timer $415, water inlet valve $428, ice maker module $449, control board $488. Each figure is parts, labor and the service call together.
Do you repair ice makers inside refrigerators in Arlington?
Yes, and most Arlington ice work happens that way. Across our 268 Arlington tickets, ice maker replacements show up inside refrigerator jobs as well as ice-tagged ones.
Two examples from the written descriptions: one recorded simply as ice maker replacement at $385, and one at $384.87 noting mechanical damage to the ice maker.
Why does hard water matter so much for an ice maker?
Because the ice maker handles a large volume of water through the narrowest passages in the appliance: a fill tube a few millimetres across, a solenoid valve cycling many times a day, and a mould that freezes and thaws continuously.
JEA publishes hardness by ZIP and Arlington reads 307 parts per million or 18 grains per gallon in 32225, 297 in 32211 and 285 in 32277, all classified Very Hard, with no softening step anywhere in JEA treatment.
The practical result is that filters and fill tubes need attention sooner than the manual suggests, and inlet valves are a wear item. Across our Arlington book five separate invoices name a water valve, more than any neighbouring district.
My ice cubes are small and hollow. What causes that?
Restricted water flow, almost every time — the mould is not filling completely before the harvest cycle runs. Tell us at booking whether the water filter has been reseated until it clicks and turns to its stop.
Tell us too whether the shut-off valve on the supply line is fully open and what the freezer reads, because below about 10°F the cycle slows. Beyond those, the fill tube is starting to ice up, which we clear at a company median of $393, or the inlet valve is failing, at $428.
Do you repair commercial ice machines and freezers in Arlington?
Yes. Our Arlington book includes a commercial freezer at $403.
Commercial equipment is a different job — different duty cycle, different parts, different access — and if that is what you have, tell us when you book so the visit is scheduled with enough time and the right expectations.
Is it worth replacing an ice maker module?
Usually yes. At a company median of $449 it brings the ice back on a refrigerator that otherwise works, and the choice is yours once you have the number.
What we will not do is let you approve it without knowing the number first. If the fault turns out to be the filter, the fill tube or the freezer temperature instead, those are much cheaper, and you hear the number before anything is done.
My standalone freezer has stopped freezing. Repair or replace?
It depends entirely on whether the sealed system is involved. If it is the defrost heater at $364, the door gasket at $389, the thermostat at $390 or the evaporator fan at $396, repair wins comfortably against a replacement chest or upright at roughly $400 to $900.
If it is the compressor, our company median is $700 across 107 jobs, which is close enough to a new freezer that on a unit over about ten years old we will usually tell you to replace it. Either way we diagnose first and give you the total before anything is ordered. Freezer calls take priority in our schedule because food loss runs on a clock.
