Ice Maker and Freezer Repair Northside Jacksonville FL
Two jobs. That is our entire ice maker and freezer record across 42,491 homes and 254 square miles of the Northside, and it is the thinnest sample anywhere on this site. There is no honest local price to publish and we have not invented one.
Every figure here comes from our company-wide book: 2,091 completed ice maker repairs at a $415 median and 2,269 freezer repairs at $385, each component line carrying the number of jobs behind it. The four checks below are worth doing first, because Company-wide, most no-ice calls come down to a setting, a filter or a valve rather than a failed part.
Ice Maker and Freezer Repair on the Northside, Jacksonville FL
No ice, hollow or small cubes, ice with a taste, water leaking into the tray, freezer not holding temperature, frost sheeting the walls. Refrigerator ice makers and standalone freezers.
What Ice Maker and Freezer Repair Costs, by Component
No local median appears in this table, because two jobs is not a sample. What follows is company-wide data: 2,091 completed ice maker repairs and 2,269 completed freezer repairs, each line carrying the number of jobs behind it so you can weigh it for yourself. Everything is parts, labor and the service call together, never the bare price of the part.
| Repair | Median total | Source | Jobs behind it (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any ice maker repair, part replaced | $415 | Company-wide | 2,091 |
| 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 |
| Any freezer repair, part replaced | $385 | Company-wide | 2,269 |
| Freezer defrost heater or timer | $364 | Company-wide | 203 |
| Freezer door gasket | $389 | Company-wide | 77 |
| Freezer thermostat or sensor | $390 | Company-wide | 81 |
| Freezer evaporator or condenser fan | $396 | Company-wide | 135 |
| Freezer control board | $494 | Company-wide | 51 |
| Freezer compressor replacement | $700 | Company-wide | 107 |
| Diagnostic visit only | $99 | Flat rate | — |
Notice the shape of those two blocks. The ice maker column runs high and narrow, $393 to $488 across seven different failures, while freezers run lower and then jump: everything that is not the compressor sits between $364 and $494, and the compressor is $700, roughly double.
That is the same pattern as a refrigerator and for the same reason — sealed-system work means recovery, brazing, evacuation and recharge, and hours on site, while everything else is the service call plus an hour or two of labour.
So on a freezer the real question is not which part, it is whether this is the sealed system or everything else. Full component data across 29,315 repairs is in appliance repair cost by component.
Why Northside Ice Makers and Freezers Fail the Way They Do
This is the one page in the Northside cluster with essentially no local data, so we will be explicit about what we do and do not know, and then give you the company-wide picture in full.
Two calls across 42,491 homes 1.1 PERCENT OF OUR WORK HERE
Ice makers and freezers are 2 of the 188 Northside jobs where our paperwork names an appliance, 1.1 percent, against 3.3 percent company-wide across 35,500 identified jobs. Almost nobody on this side of the city calls us about ice.
That is not because these units do not fail — company-wide they are 3,266 jobs of ours — it is because a broken ice maker is the one appliance failure you can live around indefinitely.
You buy bags. The freezer keeps freezing. Nothing spoils and nothing floods, so the call gets postponed for months or never made at all. Worth knowing if you have been putting it off: the most common causes are also among the cheapest, and clearing a frozen fill tube at $393 is a long way from a control board at $488.
Most no-ice calls come down to four settings MINUTES TO CHECK
Across our whole book 56.1 percent of paid freezer visits end with a part fitted needed, more than washers at 41.0 percent, dishwashers at 40.7 percent and dryers at 20.5 percent, with ice makers at 37.0 percent.
There is a straightforward reason on this pair of machines: the most common causes of no ice are a shut-off arm knocked up, a supply valve partly closed, a water filter long overdue, a freezer running too warm to trigger the harvest cycle, or a door left ajar overnight.
None of those is a fault and all of them look identical to a failed ice maker from outside. Ten minutes of checks has a genuine chance of saving you the visit.
Water on the freezer floor is usually the fill tube, not a leak 515 JOBS
Jobs logged as an ice maker leaking number 515 company-wide at a $380 median, and the dominant mechanism is a fill tube that has partly frozen. Water backs up behind the ice plug, overflows the mould and runs down into the freezer where it builds into a slab under the bin.
People describe it as a leak and expect a plumbing repair, but usually nothing is broken in that sense. The tube froze because the freezer runs slightly too cold, the water pressure is low, or the inlet valve is not sealing fully and drips after each fill.
Clearing the tube is a $393 median; the valve behind it, if that is the cause, is $428.
Frost sheeting the walls is the defrost system, our most common freezer repair 203 JOBS
The defrost heater or timer is the single most replaced freezer component we have, 203 jobs at a $364 median, and it is also the cheapest of the substantial freezer repairs. The symptom starts as frost on the back wall and progresses to reduced airflow, then on a combined unit to a fresh-food compartment drifting warm.
Left long enough it presents as a refrigerator that is not cooling, which is why those two problems are frequently the same problem — and why on the Northside, where we have 62 refrigerator jobs and only 2 in this category, some of that work is very likely arriving under the refrigerator heading instead.
The Northside refrigerator page carries real local figures. Background is in freezer frost build-up and ice maker not making ice.
When you book: check the shut-off arm is down, the supply valve is fully open, the water filter is not overdue, and the freezer is at 0°F. Company-wide, most no-ice calls come down to a setting, a filter or a valve rather than a failed part. If it still will not make ice, book online or call (954) 902-6229.

The metro-level page is ice maker repair in Jacksonville FL, with the full territory on appliance repair in Jacksonville. Neighbouring clusters with their own ice maker pages are the Westside, St. Johns and Fruit Cove, Fernandina Beach, Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach.
Because most ice makers here live inside a refrigerator, the Northside refrigerator page is often the more useful one, and background reading is in ice maker not making ice and when to change the water filter.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- No ice at all, mould stays dry — water is not arriving. Shut-off arm knocked up, supply valve closed, a saddle valve silted, or the inlet valve at $428. Company median on no-ice jobs is $420 across 348 of them. Check the arm first, it costs nothing.
- Small, hollow or misshapen cubes — low water pressure, a partly frozen fill tube at $393, or a filter long overdue. See when to change the water filter.
- Ice tastes or smells wrong — almost always the filter, or old ice absorbing freezer odours, rather than a mechanical fault. Dump the bin, change the filter, discard the first two batches.
- Water pooling under the ice bin or running down the back wall — frozen fill tube overflowing, or an inlet valve dripping after the fill. 515 company jobs at $380, and usually nothing is broken in the plumbing sense.
- Mould fills but never ejects — ice maker module at $449, or a freezer running too warm to reach harvest temperature. The second one is free to fix and gets checked first.
- Freezer not holding temperature — defrost heater or timer at $364, evaporator fan at $396, thermostat or sensor at $390. 488 company jobs at $377. Frost on the back wall points at the defrost system.
- Freezer running constantly and still warm — this is the one that can be the compressor at $700, or a condenser fan or a coil packed with dust, which are far cheaper. Only a diagnostic separates them.
Which Brands We See on Northside Freezers and Ice Makers
Neither of our two Northside jobs in this category carries a brand, so there is nothing to report and we will not pad the section out.
Across the whole cluster our 120 brand-tagged jobs of every type run Whirlpool 27.5 percent, Samsung 22.5 percent, Frigidaire 14.2 percent, GE 13.3 percent, LG 8.3 percent and Maytag 6.7 percent, so those are the platforms most likely to be behind your freezer door here.
The practical consequence is the same as elsewhere: Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire and Maytag ice maker modules, inlet valves and defrost components ride on the van, while Samsung and LG assemblies are the ones most likely to need ordering and a second visit. Samsung at 22.5 percent is higher on the Northside than in any other Jacksonville cluster we measure, which makes an ordered part somewhat more likely here than elsewhere.
As everywhere, this counts how often we are called out to a brand, not how reliable it is. See most reliable appliance brands.
Repair or Replace, in Real Numbers
Treat this as two separate decisions rather than one. An ice maker inside a working refrigerator is essentially never a replace decision on its own: the repair runs a $415 median, and replacing a refrigerator to fix an ice maker makes no sense, so the only real question is whether you want ice enough to spend it — and the checks below are the fastest way to find out which.
A standalone freezer is a genuine call: a mid-market chest or upright is roughly $500 to $1,100, against a $385 median repair, so most freezer repairs are clear value.
The exception is the compressor at $700, which on an older unit is most of the way to a new one; across our whole book on a compressor we put the repair total next to the price of a comparable new unit and let the arithmetic decide.
That figure comes from refrigerator compressors specifically, and the same logic applies to a standalone freezer where the sealed system has failed. Figures in the appliance repair approval rate and the framework in the repair or replace guide.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair on the Northside — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker repair cost on the Northside of Jacksonville?
We have only two ice maker and freezer jobs on the Northside, which is not enough to publish a local price, so we use our company-wide figures: a $415 median on 2,091 completed ice maker repairs and $385 on 2,269 freezer repairs, parts and labor and the service call together.
By component: clearing a frozen fill tube $393, a defrost heater or timer $415, a water inlet valve $428, a fan $432, a filter replaced on the visit $440, an ice maker module $449 and a control board $488. A diagnostic where nothing is replaced is $99.
Why does this page have no local Northside prices?
Because we have run only two jobs in this category across 42,491 homes and 254 square miles, 1.1 percent of the Northside work where our paperwork names an appliance, against 3.3 percent company-wide. Publishing a median off two jobs would be a made-up number dressed as data, so we have not.
Every figure on this page instead comes from our company-wide book of 2,091 ice maker and 2,269 freezer repairs, each line showing how many jobs sit behind it. The other five Northside appliance pages do carry local figures where the samples support them.
What should I check before booking an ice maker visit?
Four things, and they cost nothing. Confirm the shut-off arm or switch inside the freezer has not been knocked into the off position. Check the water supply valve behind or under the appliance is fully open. Check when the water filter was last changed, since a clogged filter starves the ice maker before it noticeably affects drinking water.
And confirm the freezer is actually at 0°F, because an ice maker will not run a harvest cycle if the compartment is too warm. Those four causes account for most of the no-ice calls we take, and all four cost nothing to rule out.
There is water freezing into a slab under my ice bin. Is something leaking?
Usually not in the plumbing sense. The most common cause is a fill tube that has partly frozen, so each fill backs up behind the ice plug, overflows the mould and runs down into the freezer. Jobs logged as an ice maker leaking number 515 company-wide at a $380 median, and clearing the fill tube is a $393 median on its own.
What made it freeze matters too: a freezer running colder than it needs to, low water pressure, or an inlet valve at $428 that is not sealing fully and drips after each fill.
What usually goes wrong with a freezer?
Most freezer calls come down to airflow and temperature: a door seal that no longer closes cleanly, frost blocking the evaporator, an overloaded compartment, or a setting that drifted. The technician checks those first, then gives you a firm total before any work starts. The $99 diagnostic comes off the repair when a part is needed, and every completed repair carries a 90-day parts and labor warranty.
My freezer runs constantly and is still not cold. What is that likely to cost?
This is the one freezer symptom that genuinely splits. On the cheaper side it is a condenser coil packed with dust, a condenser or evaporator fan at $396, or a defrost failure at $364 that has iced the evaporator over. On the expensive side it is the compressor at a $700 median across 107 jobs.
Both look identical from outside, which is why we will not quote this one over the phone. Everything on a freezer that is not the compressor sits between $364 and $494.
Should I book this page or the refrigerator page?
If the ice maker sits inside your refrigerator and the fridge itself is also misbehaving, the Northside refrigerator page is the more useful one, and it carries real local figures from 62 jobs. Frost and defrost problems in particular often present as both an ice problem and a cooling problem, because they are the same failure.
Either way it is the same technician, the same $99 diagnostic and the same 90-day warranty, so booking through either page reaches the same place.
Which Northside ZIP codes do you cover for freezer and ice maker repair?
All three: 32218, 32219 and 32226, at the same price with no travel surcharge between them. 32219 also carries Dinsmore as an accepted USPS name. Our two jobs in this category are one in 32218 and one in 32226.
On two jobs that tells you nothing about coverage, and it does not affect the service, the price or the priority we give freezer calls, which sit alongside refrigerators at the top of our scheduling because food loss is on the clock.
