Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Fleming Island, FL
By the tags on our paperwork we have exactly one freezer job on Fleming Island, and it did not become a paid repair. That would make this the thinnest page we publish — except that it is not the whole truth, and the whole truth is more interesting.
77 of our 144 Fleming Island tickets, 53.5 percent, carry no appliance tag at all — the highest untagged share of any area we cover. Read the descriptions on those untagged jobs and the ice work appears: one of them is an ice maker replacement with the evaporator cleaned, at $566.
So this category is under-counted here rather than absent. There is still no honest local median, so plan on the company figures: $385 for a freezer repair with a part and $415 for an ice maker.

Freezer and ice maker calls get the same priority as refrigerators, because food loss is on the clock. One price across the whole peninsula, no travel surcharge.
What Freezer and Ice Maker Repair Costs, by Component
Two appliances, two sets of economics, so they are labelled separately rather than blended. A freezer is a cooling appliance — defrost circuit, fans, gaskets, sensors, and at the far end a compressor. An ice maker is a water appliance bolted into a cold box — fill tube, inlet valve, filter, harvest module.
The prices follow: the cheapest common freezer repair is $364 and the cheapest common ice maker repair is $393, and the ice maker median sits $30 above the freezer median. All company-wide, because there is no local sample to draw on. Every figure is the part, the labour and the service call together.

Why This Page Under-Counts the Work We Do
Our appliance figures come from the tags on each work order, and on Fleming Island those tags are unusually incomplete — 77 of 144 tickets carry none. That is 53.5 percent, against 34.8 percent in Oakleaf and 22.1 percent in Middleburg.
It happens because a job booked over the phone as a general call, or written up quickly, sometimes never gets an appliance tag attached even though the work description says exactly what was done.
We could quietly leave those 77 out and present clean-looking percentages. Instead we read the descriptions, and the ice and water work is plainly in there: an ice maker replacement with an evaporator clean at $566, a water inlet valve replaced at $356, two water supply valves replaced together at $397, a filter housing replaced at $238, and a visit that was entirely troubleshooting a filter installed incorrectly at $220.
So the honest summary is this: we do freezer and ice work on this peninsula, most of it inside refrigerators, and the tagging simply does not capture it. What we will not do is invent a local median out of that — reading a description and assigning an appliance after the fact is a judgement, not a record, and prices built on judgements are how local pages start lying.
Most freezer calls come down to airflow and temperature WORTH CHECKING FIRST
Company-wide, 56.1 percent of paid freezer visits end with a part fitted needed — the highest of any category — and ice makers are 37.0 percent. Both sit above our all-appliance average of 36.9 percent.
So many complaints here are not component failures at all: a door left slightly ajar, a fill tube frozen after a pressure dip, a filter nobody has changed in three years, a cabinet packed so full that air cannot circulate.
Our single tagged Fleming Island job in this category was settled at the $99 diagnostic, which is a sample of one but entirely in character.
A frozen fill tube is the cheapest fault and looks like the worst $393 · 40 JOBS
The fill tube is the short plastic pipe that carries water into the ice mould. If the freezer runs slightly too cold, or the water pressure drops mid-fill, water sits in that tube and freezes into a plug. The symptom is total — no ice at all — and from the outside it is indistinguishable from a dead harvest module at $449 or a failed inlet valve at $428.
That is why we will not diagnose a no-ice call over the phone. The good news is that the cheapest of the three is also one of the more common.
A badly seated filter causes the same symptoms as failed hardware $220 FOR ONE LOCAL VISIT
One Fleming Island visit consisted entirely of troubleshooting a water filter the household had installed incorrectly. A filter that is not seated fully restricts flow, and restricted flow gives you slow ice, small hollow cubes and a dispenser that dribbles — the exact symptoms of a failing inlet valve at $428 or a partly frozen fill tube.
Seat the filter until it clicks and turns to its stop, then run several litres through the dispenser before judging anything. It is free, it takes two minutes, and it is one of the cheapest service calls to avoid. Background: when to change the water filter.
The garage freezer is doing far more work than you think AMBIENT LOAD
A chest or upright freezer in an unconditioned garage on this peninsula spends the summer holding zero degrees against ambient temperatures in the nineties. A compressor and condenser fan that cope easily in a kitchen run long cycles out there, and a marginal component that would have limped along for another two years fails in July instead.
This is physics rather than a pattern in our local numbers, and we mark the difference deliberately — with one tagged job here we have nothing seasonal to publish for this ZIP. Practical version: if the garage freezer sounded different in April, do not count on it lasting through August.
Freezer compressor work is $700 and the honest conversation about a fifteen-year-old chest freezer is a short one.
Most ice trouble on this peninsula is inside a refrigerator. If yours is a French-door or side-by-side, that page has a corrected local median of $415 across six component jobs. Book online or call (954) 902-6229.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- No ice at all — the arm or switch left off, a frozen fill tube at $393, the water inlet valve at $428, or the harvest module at $449. Check the switch first; it is free and it is the most common cause of this exact call.
- Ice arriving slowly, or small hollow cubes — restricted water flow: a filter clogged or not seated properly, a partly frozen fill tube, or a valve not opening fully. One local visit was entirely a filter installed wrong, at $220.
- Ice tastes or smells wrong — almost always the filter or a bin nobody has emptied in months, not a failed part. In water aerated to strip sulphur odour, an old filter is working harder than you think.
- Freezer not holding temperature, frost on the back wall — defrost heater or timer at $364, evaporator fan at $396, or a door gasket at $389 letting humid air in. The defrost circuit is the biggest freezer repair by a wide margin.
- Freezer running constantly, cabinet warm, coils hot — condenser fan, blocked coils, or the sealed system. Clear the coils yourself first; in this climate a dust-packed coil mimics a failing compressor exactly.
- Water pooling under the unit — a blocked defrost drain rather than a burst pipe. Two of our local refrigerator jobs included clearing exactly that as part of the repair.
Where on Fleming Island We See This Work
The whole of ZIP 32003, at one price with no travel surcharge. The ZIP carries three USPS names at once — Fleming Island as primary, with Fleming Isle and Orange Park accepted for the same addresses — and our own paperwork splits 96 to 48 in favour of Orange Park, purely on what people say when they call.
If your ZIP is 32003 this page is yours whichever name your mail carries. ZIP 32073 is the incorporated town of Orange Park with its own Orange Park ice maker page, and 32065 is Oakleaf with its own Oakleaf ice maker page — where the local sample is two jobs and one of them was a commercial machine.
Neither is thicker than ours. Freezer and ice maker calls get the same priority as refrigerator calls, because a full freezer is the most expensive thing in this category to lose. Coverage detail on the Fleming Island appliance repair hub.
On the water feeding every ice maker in the ZIP, we publish only what the utility publishes. Clay County Utility Authority serves this area through what its 2024 annual water quality report calls the Pace Fleming Grid, covering Pace Island and Fleming Oaks. That report states all its water is Floridan Aquifer groundwater, that this grid is aerated for odour removal, and that it is then chlorinated.
Aeration for odour removal is how a utility strips hydrogen sulphide. There is no softening step and no hardness figure in the report, so nobody can honestly quote you grains per gallon for 32003.
Repair or Replace, in Company Numbers
This is the one category where replacement genuinely competes, and we will not pretend otherwise. A freezer repair with a part runs $385 and an ice maker repair $415, against roughly $500 to $900 for a new upright or chest freezer installed and considerably less for a countertop ice machine.
So on a standalone freezer past about twelve years, or on any freezer needing compressor work at $700, replacement is often the better buy — and company-wide On a freezer we put the repair total next to the price of a comparable new unit, so the arithmetic is yours to make.
Where repair wins clearly is the ice system inside a refrigerator or a built-in unit, because there the replacement is the whole appliance or a cabinet opening to match. The one named local job on this page, an ice maker replaced with the evaporator cleaned at $566, is exactly that case: expensive for an ice repair, trivial next to replacing the refrigerator around it.

What Customers Say About Our Ice Maker and Freezer Work
“Our LG refrigerator had an icemaker and water valve issue that Dmitri diagnosed quickly. He ordered the parts and was back a couple of days later to fix the problem and did an excellent job.”
“Dmitrii came on time the very next day he was scheduled. He diagnosed the problem and we authorized him to order the part to repair our water and ice dispenser on the refrigerator.”
“Great service. Was here a short time and replaced our ice maker. Very friendly.”
“Dimitri was awesome. He fixed our fridge in just over an hour, and offered to help refill our freezer that we had to unload. Impeccable service.”
Ice Maker and Freezer Repair on Fleming Island — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker or freezer repair cost on Fleming Island, FL?
We will not quote a local figure, because by the tags on our paperwork we have one freezer job in ZIP 32003 and it did not become a paid repair. Plan on the company medians: $385 for a freezer repair with a part replaced across 2,269 jobs, and $415 for an ice maker across 2,091.
By component: freezer defrost circuit $364, freezer gasket $389, freezer sensor $390, frozen fill tube cleared $393, freezer fan $396, ice maker defrost $415, water inlet valve $428, filter replaced on the visit $440, ice maker module $449, control board $488 to $494, freezer compressor $700.
If you have one job here, how do you know you do this work at all?
Because 77 of our 144 Fleming Island tickets — 53.5 percent, the highest untagged share of any area we cover — carry no appliance tag, and the descriptions on them show the work plainly. One is an ice maker replacement with the evaporator cleaned at $566.
Others include a water inlet valve replaced, two water supply valves replaced together at $397, a filter housing at $238 and a visit that was entirely troubleshooting a filter installed wrong at $220. We could have quietly dropped those 77 tickets and shown you tidier percentages. We would rather show the gap and tell you what is in it.
My refrigerator stopped making ice. Which page do I want?
The Fleming Island refrigerator page, because on this peninsula that is where the ice work actually happens — the corrected local median there is $415 across six component jobs, and the local book includes water valves, a filter housing and a filter fitted incorrectly.
This page is the right one for a standalone chest or upright freezer or a separate ice machine. Either way, check the ice maker arm or switch before booking; a switch left off is the single most common cause of a no-ice call.
What does the $99 diagnostic cover?
The technician tests the appliance, identifies the fault, and gives you a firm total before any work starts. When a part is needed the $99 comes off the repair, and every completed repair carries a 90-day parts and labor warranty.
When the fix turns out to be a setting, a filter or something that can safely wait, you pay the diagnostic only and get told exactly what to watch for. Either way you know the number before anything is spent.
My ice is slow and the cubes are small and hollow. What is it?
Restricted water flow, and the cheapest cause is the most likely: a filter that is clogged or not seated properly. One Fleming Island visit was entirely that — troubleshooting a filter the household had fitted incorrectly, at $220. Seat the filter until it clicks and turns to its stop, then run several litres through the dispenser before judging.
If it is genuinely the hardware, the water inlet valve is $428 and a partly frozen fill tube cleared is $393, and from outside the cabinet those two look identical to a bad filter.
Is a freezer compressor worth replacing?
Often not, and we say so at the door rather than after. Freezer compressor work runs a company median of $700 across 107 repairs, against roughly $500 to $900 for a new upright or chest freezer installed. On a machine past about twelve years we put the repair total next to the price of a comparable new unit, so the arithmetic is yours to make.
Where the arithmetic flips is a built-in unit or the sealed system inside a refrigerator, because there the replacement is the whole appliance rather than a standalone box.
Is the water here bad for an ice maker?
We publish only what the utility publishes. Clay County Utility Authority serves this area through what its 2024 annual water quality report calls the Pace Fleming Grid, covering Pace Island and Fleming Oaks. The report states that all its water is Floridan Aquifer groundwater, that this grid is aerated for odour removal, and that it is then chlorinated.
Aeration for odour removal is done to strip hydrogen sulphide, the sulphur smell characteristic of north Florida groundwater. There is no softening step and no hardness figure in the report. Practically: change the filter on schedule, because in this water an old filter affects taste sooner than on a softened supply.
Why does my garage freezer struggle in summer?
Because it is holding zero degrees against ambient temperatures in the nineties, so the compressor and condenser fan run far longer cycles than the same machine would in a kitchen, and a component that is already marginal fails under that load rather than limping on.
That is physics rather than a pattern in our Fleming Island data, and we mark the difference deliberately — with one tagged job in this category we have nothing seasonal worth publishing for this ZIP. Practical version: if the garage freezer sounded different in April, do not count on it lasting through August.
