Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach, FL
Exactly one of our 67 tickets in Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach carries an ice maker tag, and it is not a domestic machine — it is a high-end Scotsman commercial ice maker in 32266 at $456. Two more pieces of ice work sit inside untagged invoices: a KitchenAid ice maker replacement at $410 and a ticket recording an ice maker fan needing replacement at $364.
One tagged job cannot produce a median, and a commercial machine would be the wrong one to build it on anyway, so every price here is our company figure across 2,091 ice maker and 2,269 freezer repairs — $415 and $385 respectively. The local fact that matters most: JEA publishes 32233 at 266 parts per million, while 32266 is absent from the table because Neptune Beach runs its own utility — and ice equipment is where hard water shows up fastest.

No ice, hollow cubes, leaking, freezer not freezing, or a commercial machine down. Domestic and commercial across 32233 and 32266, Mayport included, with the $99 diagnostic coming off the bill when you approve the repair.

A Commercial Scotsman, and Two More Ice Jobs Hiding in the Paperwork
Exactly one of our 67 tickets in Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach carries an ice maker tag, and it is not a domestic one: a high-end Scotsman ice machine in 32266 at $456. Two more pieces of ice work sit inside untagged invoices — a KitchenAid ice maker replacement at $410 and a ticket recording that an ice maker fan needed replacing, at $364.
One tagged job cannot produce a median, so every price on this page is our company figure across 2,091 ice maker and 2,269 freezer repairs.
Scotsman is a commercial brand, and that changes the job $456 · NEPTUNE BEACH
Scotsman builds foodservice ice machines — the kind found behind a bar, in a restaurant, or in a high-specification home kitchen where someone wanted proper ice rather than what a fridge door produces.
They work on a different principle from a domestic ice maker, running water continuously over a chilled evaporator plate to grow clear cubes, which means a water distribution system, a purge cycle and a condenser that all need servicing on a schedule.
They also need periodic descaling, and on 16-grain water that is not optional. Tell us at booking if this is what you have, because it changes the length of the visit and what comes on the van.
Very hard water in 32233, nothing published for 32266 266 PPM · 16 GRAINS
JEA publishes Atlantic Beach at 266 parts per million, 16 grains per gallon, classified Very Hard, drawn from the Floridan aquifer with no softening step. Ice equipment is where hardness shows up fastest, because an ice maker is a machine whose entire job is to take water in and freeze it.
Scale narrows the fill tube, coats the inlet valve at $428 and shortens filter life, and on a commercial machine it builds on the evaporator plate itself. Neptune Beach in 32266 runs its own city water utility and is absent from the JEA table, so we publish no hardness number for it — but the Scotsman we serviced is in 32266, and descaling is part of its life either way.
Most no-ice calls are about water arriving, not ice being made 119 OF THE JOBS ON THIS TABLE
Clearing a frozen fill tube is 40 jobs at $393, and changing a water filter on the visit is 79 more at $440. Between them that is a large share of the ice maker table, and neither is a failed ice maker.
The fill tube is the small line delivering a measured shot of water into the mould; when the freezer runs slightly too cold or the shot is slow, it freezes solid and the cycle stalls.
A restricted filter produces the same result from the other end. Before you book, reseat the filter until it clicks and turns to its stop and flush a few quarts through — if that fixes it, you have found a genuinely free answer, and if it does not, you have ruled out the commonest cause and told us something useful.
On a freezer, the compressor is the only expensive answer $700 AGAINST $364 TO $390
Freezer repairs cluster tightly: a defrost heater or timer at $364 across 203 jobs, a door gasket at $389, a thermostat or sensor at $390. Then the compressor at $700, nearly double anything else.
As on a refrigerator, the practical question is which of those two groups you are in, and it is usually answered by whether the machine runs constantly without getting cold — a compressor signature — or cycles normally while frost builds on the back wall, which is defrost.
Company-wide, freezer not freezing is 488 repairs at a $377 median, so the ordinary answer is far commoner than the expensive one.
Commercial ice machine down? Say so at booking — a Scotsman or similar needs a longer slot and different parts. Book online or call (954) 902-6229.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- No ice at all, or a thin sheet in the mould — filter first, then the fill tube at $393 or the inlet valve at $428. Reseat the filter until it clicks and flush a few quarts through. See ice maker not making ice.
- Hollow, cloudy or slow-forming cubes — a partial water restriction, usually the filter or a narrowing fill tube on hard water. On a commercial machine like a Scotsman, add descaling of the evaporator plate to that list.
- Water leaking under the freezer or into the ice bin — inlet valve at $428, or a fill tube overshooting the mould. Company-wide, ice maker leaking is 515 repairs at a $380 median.
- Ice made but not dispensing, or fused into one block — the ice maker module at $449, or the bin auger. A single fused block usually means the ice sat through a partial thaw and refroze.
- Freezer running constantly and never cold — condenser fan at $432, or the compressor at $700. Clear the condenser coil first and note whether it is running or silent when you book.
- Frost building on the back wall of the freezer — defrost heater or timer at $364, our largest freezer category with 203 replacements. Company-wide, freezer not freezing is 488 repairs at $377.
Which Ice Equipment We See at the Beaches
Three machines, and two of them are outside the mainstream: a commercial Scotsman at $456 and a KitchenAid ice maker replacement at $410, alongside a ticket for an ice maker fan at $364.
Across the fifteen branded tickets in the district as a whole, Whirlpool and GE tie at four each with LG and Samsung on two, so the ordinary appliances here are entirely mainstream — the ice equipment is the exception.
That fits the rest of what the local book shows: a built-in GE microwave installation at $245, a Whirlpool double oven at $597.62, and a published median household income of $119,294 in Neptune Beach.
Fitted kitchens with specified equipment, in other words, and premium or commercial components more often need ordering rather than coming off the van. See most reliable appliance brands for what a brand table does and does not tell you.
On the names: the Postal Service gives 32233 a primary city of Atlantic Beach with three acceptable alternates — Atlantic Bch, Jacksonville and Mayport, the naval station inside the ZIP. That is why our own book splits 29 tickets addressed Atlantic Beach against 18 addressed Jacksonville: both are correct.
32266 has a primary city of Neptune Beach, and all 20 of our tickets there use it. Jax is the one name USPS lists as unacceptable for either ZIP.
| ZIP | Ice and freezer work on record | Water | What that means for ice equipment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32233 Atlantic Beach / Mayport | Includes the KitchenAid ice maker replacement at $410 | JEA · 266 ppm · 16 grains · Very Hard | Shorter filter life, scale on the inlet valve and fill tube |
| 32266 Neptune Beach | The Scotsman commercial ice machine, $456 | No figure published — own city utility | Descaling still applies on a commercial evaporator plate |

Around Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach
Ice and freezer work in the neighbouring areas is on its own pages. South down the coast is Jacksonville Beach in 32250, and beyond it Ponte Vedra Beach and Nocatee, where a Dacor ice maker replacement at $617 turned up only by reading untagged tickets and the water is the hardest JEA publishes anywhere at 372 ppm.
West across the Intracoastal is Arlington, where three hidden ice maker replacements sat in untagged invoices, and south-west the University of North Florida area, where a $931 ice invoice is shown and excluded. Further in are San Marco and San Jose, Riverside and Avondale and Northwest Jacksonville. The beaches set starts at the Atlantic Beach appliance repair hub.
Repair or Replace Ice and Freezer Equipment Here
The answer splits by what kind of machine you have, and this district happens to contain both.
On a domestic ice maker built into a refrigerator, repair is almost always right: the whole routine range runs $393 to $488 against a replacement refrigerator at $1,100 to $1,600, and a large share of no-ice calls turn out to be a fill tube or a filter rather than a failed component at all.
On a stand-alone freezer, the split is the compressor at $700 against everything else at $364 to $390, and only the first genuinely competes with a replacement chest or upright at $500 to $1,000.
On commercial equipment like the Scotsman we service in 32266, the arithmetic barely needs doing: these machines cost several times a domestic appliance to replace, they are designed and documented to be serviced, and parts are available for years.
Repair stays ahead far longer than on anything domestic. What shortens the life of all three in this district is the same thing — 16-grain water in 32233, and scale that is easier to prevent than to remove. Framework: repair or replace guide and how long freezers last.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair at the Beaches — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker repair cost in Atlantic Beach or Neptune Beach?
Budget $415, our company median across 2,091 ice maker repairs, with a middle half of $340 to $512 — parts, labor and the service call together. Freezers run slightly lower at $385. We will not publish a local median because we hold one tagged ice job here, and it is a commercial Scotsman at $456, which is not representative of a domestic machine.
By component, budget roughly $393 to clear a frozen fill tube, $415 for a defrost heater, $428 for a water inlet valve, $432 for an evaporator or condenser fan, $449 for an ice maker module and $488 for a control board.
Do you service commercial ice machines like Scotsman?
Yes — our one tagged ice job in this district is a high-end Scotsman in Neptune Beach at $456. Scotsman builds foodservice ice machines, the kind found behind a bar, in a restaurant or in a high-specification home kitchen.
They work differently from a domestic ice maker, running water continuously over a chilled evaporator plate to grow clear cubes, which means a water distribution system, a purge cycle and a condenser all needing scheduled service, plus periodic descaling.
Tell us at booking that this is what you have, because it changes the length of the visit and the parts we bring.
My ice maker stopped. What should I check before booking?
The water filter, and it is worth doing properly. Take it out, reseat it until it clicks and turns to its stop, then run several quarts through the dispenser to purge air. A filter that is not fully home restricts flow and produces exactly the same no-ice symptom as a failed valve.
It matters because 119 of the jobs on our ice maker table are frozen fill tubes at $393 and filter changes at $440 rather than failed ice makers. If it does not fix it, you have ruled out the commonest cause and given us something useful to start from.
Does the hard water here affect an ice maker?
More than any other appliance, because an ice maker’s entire function is taking water in and freezing it. JEA publishes Atlantic Beach in 32233 at 266 parts per million, 16 grains per gallon, classified Very Hard, with no softening step in treatment. That shortens filter life, scales the water inlet valve at $428 and narrows the fill tube that delivers each measured shot of water.
On a commercial machine it also builds on the evaporator plate, which is why descaling is part of routine service rather than an extra. Neptune Beach in 32266 runs its own water utility and is not on the JEA table, so we publish no figure for it.
My freezer runs constantly but is not cold. Is that the compressor?
It might be, and it is the one expensive answer on the freezer table at $700 against $364 to $390 for everything else. But clear the condenser coil first and note whether the machine is actually running or silent, because a choked coil produces exactly the same symptom for free.
If it cycles normally while frost builds on the back wall, that is defrost rather than the sealed system — a defrost heater or timer at $364, our largest freezer category with 203 replacements. Company-wide, freezer not freezing is 488 repairs at a $377 median, so the ordinary answer is far commoner than the expensive one.
Why does this page use company figures rather than local ones?
Because we hold one tagged ice job in these two ZIP codes and it is a commercial Scotsman — a machine that tells you nothing useful about what a domestic ice maker will cost. Every price here comes from 2,091 ice maker and 2,269 freezer repairs across our whole book, and each row says so.
The local detail we do have is real and specific: the Scotsman at $456 in 32266, a KitchenAid ice maker replacement at $410, a ticket for an ice maker fan at $364, and the published water hardness split between the two cities.
How quickly can you come out?
Freezer calls take priority alongside refrigerators, because food loss runs on a clock. A stand-alone ice maker is generally not urgent in the same way, though a commercial unit in a working kitchen is treated as such — tell us at booking and we will schedule accordingly.
Both ZIPs together are about 12.5 square miles, the most compact district we cover, with no travel surcharge anywhere in either. Company-wide, 23.5 percent of our work is same-day and 51.3 percent is scheduled within a day of the call.
