What Freezer and Ice Maker Repair Costs, by Component
Two separate columns below, because a standalone freezer and an ice maker are genuinely different repairs with different economics. 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.
That difference shows up in the price. 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 overall. Every figure is the part, the labour and the service call together, and all of them are company-wide.

| Defrost heater or timer | $364 | Freezer | 203 |

The Ice Work We Have Actually Done in Middleburg
Our local jobs in this category: a Frigidaire freezer that needed defrosting and cleaning, $262. A second Frigidaire freezer settled on the spot. A Whirlpool freezer visit at $70.
And an ice maker recall visit at no charge.
Most ice work in 32068 happens inside the refrigerator.
It shows up on refrigerator invoices, and it is where our largest local tickets came from: one LG needed the ice maker and the condenser fan replaced on the same visit at $641, a Frigidaire needed a whole ice dispenser unit at $465, a Samsung had its ice maker replaced, and a Whirlpool needed a filter housing at $334. Four of the 17 refrigerator component jobs we have run in Middleburg were water or ice work, and they account for the top of the local price range.
So if your ice problem is in a French-door or side-by-side refrigerator — which in a ZIP with 20,311 mostly single-family housing units is the common case — the page you also want is the Middleburg refrigerator page, where the local median is $348 across 17 component jobs.
Why Ice and Freezer Problems Happen the Way They Do
Everything on the ice side of an appliance is downstream of the water supply, so it is worth knowing what the water in this ZIP actually is. Clay County Utility Authority serves most of 32068 and is headquartered inside it at 3176 Old Jennings Road, Middleburg.
In its own 2024 annual water quality report CCUA states that all its water is groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer, aerated for odour removal and then chlorinated. Aeration for odour removal is what a utility does to strip hydrogen sulphide, which is the sulphur smell people associate with well water in north Florida.
There is no softening step in that process. Parts of this large ZIP sit outside the CCUA grid on private wells, where the chemistry is unpublished and varies house to house.
Where a freezer call lands most often DOOR, FILL TUBE, FILTER
Many complaints in this category are simple faults: a door left slightly ajar, a fill tube frozen because the water pressure dropped, a filter nobody has changed in three years, or a freezer packed so full that air cannot circulate. If nothing needs replacing, the diagnostic is all you pay.
A frozen fill tube is the cheapest fault and it looks like the worst one $393 · 40 JOBS
The fill tube is the short plastic pipe that delivers 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, exactly like a dead harvest module at $449 or a failed inlet valve at $428.
From the outside they are indistinguishable, which is why we will not diagnose no-ice over the phone. The good news is that the cheapest of the three is also common, and clearing it is a same-visit job.
Defrost is the biggest freezer repair and the cheapest $364 · 203 JOBS
203 defrost heater and timer replacements make it our single largest freezer component job, and at $364 it is also the least expensive line in the freezer column. The mechanism is the same one that drives refrigerator work in this climate: every time a door opens, humid Florida air enters the cabinet and condenses on the evaporator coil as frost.
A working defrost cycle melts it off. When the heater or the timer fails, frost builds until air cannot move through the coil, and then the cabinet warms while the coil itself is buried in ice. Our one paid Middleburg freezer job was logged as defrosting and cleaning at $262 — the same problem, caught before a part had failed.
The garage freezer is doing far more work than you think AMBIENT LOAD
A chest or upright freezer in an unconditioned garage or on a covered porch in north Florida spends the summer trying to hold 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.
It is physics: if your garage freezer sounded different in April, do not expect it to survive August. Freezer compressor work is $700 and the technician sets it against the replacement price on a fifteen-year-old chest freezer.
Ice work in Middleburg mostly arrives inside refrigerators. If yours is a French-door or side-by-side, the local median there is $348 across 17 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. Tell us at booking whether the switch is on; it is the most common cause of this exact call.
- Ice arriving slowly, or hollow and small cubes — restricted water flow: a clogged filter at $440 if we replace it on the visit, a partly frozen fill tube, or a valve not opening fully. See when to change the water filter.
- Ice tastes or smells wrong — almost always the filter or a bin nobody has emptied in months. In water that is aerated for sulphur odour removal, an old filter is doing more work 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 our biggest freezer repair by a wide margin.
- Freezer running constantly, cabinet warm, coils hot — condenser fan, blocked coils, or the sealed system. Tell us at booking if the coils are packed with dust; in this climate that mimics a failing compressor exactly.
- Water pooling under the freezer or inside the bottom of the cabinet — a blocked defrost drain rather than a leak from a pipe. Cheap when it is the drain, and it is the drain more often than people expect.
Where in Middleburg We See This Work
All four of our local freezer and ice maker jobs are in ZIP 32068 and all four fall inside the last twelve months. 32068 is the largest working ZIP in our Jacksonville book at 115.5 square miles, with 20,311 housing units, and it is the only Clay County ZIP we serve with a single unambiguous USPS city name — 112 of our 113 work orders here read Middleburg.
Its neighbours are messier: 32065 is officially Orange Park even though the Census counts 31,034 people there as Oakleaf Plantation, and 32003 accepts Fleming Island, Fleming Isle and Orange Park for the same addresses. One price across all of 32068 with no travel surcharge.
Freezer and ice maker calls get the same priority as refrigerators because food loss is on the clock, but book early in the day if you are toward the western or southern edge of the ZIP. Coverage detail is on the Middleburg appliance repair hub.
Repair or Replace, in Company Numbers
This is the category where replacement genuinely competes. 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 more than about twelve years old, or on any freezer needing compressor work at $700, the technician puts the repair and a replacement side by side. Where repair wins clearly is a built-in ice maker or the ice system inside a refrigerator, because replacing that means replacing the whole refrigerator.
Our framework is the repair or replace guide, and lifespans are in how long refrigerators last.

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.”
“Excellent service always on time”
“Efficient and polite. I’ll call them again”
“Excellent job in repairing our washing machine. The technician had to do some trouble shooting—the washer would go to lock and would not open. But he figured it out quickly. He had the part in his truck and repaired immediately and then checked to see trouble was fixed. Super courteous and knowledgeable. Am keeping the information in case we need help with any other appliances or for referrals.”
Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Middleburg — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker or freezer repair cost in Middleburg, FL?
Plan on the Bozmanfix 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.
Where does ice maker work show up in Middleburg?
Mostly on refrigerator invoices. Four of the 17 refrigerator component jobs we have run in Middleburg were water or ice repairs, and they produced our two largest local tickets: an LG that needed the ice maker and the condenser fan on one visit at $641, and a Frigidaire that needed a whole ice dispenser unit at $465.
A Samsung had its ice maker replaced and a Whirlpool needed a filter housing at $334. The refrigerator page carries the local number, on 17 jobs.
My refrigerator stopped making ice. Which page do I want?
The Middleburg refrigerator page, because that is where the ice work in this ZIP actually happens and where we have a local median of $348 across 17 component jobs. This page is the right one for a standalone chest or upright freezer, or a separate ice machine.
Either way, tell us at booking whether the ice maker arm or switch is on — a switch left in the off position is the single most common cause of a no-ice call.
What do I pay if the machine does not need a part?
If nothing needs replacing, the $99 diagnostic is all you pay.
The usual simple causes are a door not sealing, a fill tube frozen because water pressure dropped, a filter nobody has changed, or a cabinet packed so full that air cannot circulate.
Is the water in Middleburg bad for an ice maker?
It is aerated groundwater, and the filter is what matters most. Clay County Utility Authority, headquartered inside this ZIP, states in its 2024 annual water quality report that all its water is Floridan Aquifer groundwater, aerated for odour removal and then chlorinated. Aeration for odour removal is how a utility strips hydrogen sulphide, the sulphur smell associated with north Florida groundwater.
There is no softening step in that process, so the practical answer is to keep the filter on schedule, because in this water an old filter affects taste faster than it does in softened supply.
Is a freezer compressor worth replacing?
It depends on the age of the freezer, and the technician gives you both numbers before any work starts. 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 more than about twelve years old the technician sets it against the replacement price.
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.
Why does my garage freezer struggle in summer?
Because it is holding zero degrees against ambient temperatures in the nineties, which means the compressor and condenser fan run far longer cycles than the same machine would in a kitchen. A component that is already marginal fails under that load rather than limping on.
Practical version: if the garage freezer sounded different in April, do not count on it lasting through August.
Do you cover the whole of Middleburg for this?
Yes, all 115.5 square miles at one price with no travel surcharge. Freezer and ice maker calls get the same priority as refrigerator calls, because food loss is on the clock and a freezer full of food is the most expensive thing in the category to lose.
The only practical effect of the ZIP being this large is timing: book early in the day if you are toward the western or southern edge so the van can route to you rather than fit you in around closer addresses.
