Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in San Marco and San Jose, Jacksonville FL
We have never completed a paid ice maker or freezer repair in San Marco or San Jose. Three of our 192 local tickets are tagged as ice or freezer work, and every one of them ended without a paid repair. That is the only true zero of its kind in this half of Jacksonville, and it means we cannot quote you a local price.
We are not going to invent one. Everything priced on this page comes from our company book — $415 across 2,091 ice maker repairs and $385 across 2,269 freezer repairs — and it is clearly labelled as such. What a zero does not mean is that nobody here loses their ice.
One untagged local ticket at $78 records that a dispenser module needed replacing and the household went with a new machine. The work exists; the completed local invoices to price it from do not.
Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in San Marco and San Jose, FL 32207 and 32217
No ice, low ice, hollow or cloudy cubes, ice maker leaking, or a standalone freezer that has stopped freezing. Priority scheduling on anything holding food, across 32207 and 32217.
What a Zero Means, and What It Does Not
It is worth being precise, because a page that says we have done no work here could reasonably be read two ways and only one of them is true.
| What it does mean | What it does not mean |
|---|---|
| We have no completed paid ice or freezer invoice in 32207 or 32217, so no local median exists | That we do not cover this work here — we do, at the same price as everywhere else, with no travel surcharge |
| Every priced figure on this page is company-wide and labelled so | That ice faults do not happen here — one local household was quoted a dispenser module and stopped at $78 |
| Three tagged calls came in and none converted into a paid repair | That the sample is complete — 95 of our 192 local tickets never record which appliance was involved at all |
| Anyone quoting you a San Marco ice maker price is not sourcing it from local completed work | That the company figures are weak — they rest on 2,091 and 2,269 repairs respectively |
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 carries the highest median of any appliance category we run, at $415, largely because so much of it is water-line work reached from inside and behind a cabinet rather than a straightforward component 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 |
| All ice maker jobs with a part replaced | $415 · middle half $340 to $512 | Company-wide | 2,091 |
| 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, compressor | $700 | Company-wide | 107 |
| All freezer jobs with a part replaced | $385 · middle half $302 to $500 | Company-wide | 2,269 |
| All local ice and freezer jobs | No paid job on record | San Marco and San Jose | 0 |
Why San Marco Ice Makers Fail the Way They Do
This is the appliance where the local water matters most, and here we can hand you a figure from your own utility 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 both of these come back Very Hard: 32207 at 298 parts per million or 17 grains per gallon, 32217 at 285 ppm, also 17 grains.
An ice maker handles the largest volume of that water through the narrowest passages in any household appliance — a fill tube a few millimetres across, a solenoid valve cycling many times a day, and a mould that freezes and thaws continuously.
The filter is the first check and the cheapest outcome FREE · SIXTY SECONDS
At 17 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 first, then small or hollow cubes, then no ice at all.
Push it in until it clicks and turns to its stop, then run several litres through the dispenser to purge the air out of the line. If the ice returns, you have saved the diagnostic entirely.
Company-wide we hold 79 jobs where replacing the water filter on the visit was part of the work, at a $440 median, and a share of those could have been a free reseat. See when to change the water filter.
One household was quoted a dispenser module and stopped at the diagnosis $78 · DIAGNOSIS ONLY
An untagged local ticket records that a dispenser module should be replaced, and the household did not proceed. That is an entirely reasonable outcome and we publish it rather than hide it.
A module at a company median approaching $450 is real money against a refrigerator that otherwise works perfectly, and plenty of households decide a bag of ice is cheaper. What we will not do is let anyone approve that spend without seeing the number first.
All the water-side work we have done here sits inside refrigerators NO STANDALONE MACHINE IN 192 JOBS
We have not been called to a dedicated under-counter or standalone ice machine anywhere in this district, nor to a chest or upright freezer. Every water-side fault we have touched in 32207 and 32217 has been inside a refrigerator — the filter, the fill tube, the inlet valve, the dispenser.
That shapes what to expect from a visit: the technician is working inside a refrigerator cabinet, which is part of why the company ice maker median of $415 sits above the general refrigerator median of $394. The rest of that book is on the San Marco refrigerator page, including two refrigerant refills sold with no warranty and why.
A district where the checks settle a lot, on an appliance people often replace 34.1 PERCENT OVERALL
Across all appliances, 89 of our 135 paid visits in this district ended with a part fitted at all. On washers that figure reaches 62.5 percent and on refrigerators 47.4. Ice makers are already the appliance households replace most readily anywhere, because the alternative is not a new machine but simply buying ice.
Put those two things together and a zero here is less surprising than it first looks. It is also why the checks below are placed prominently: in this neighbourhood the odds that your ice complaint has a no-cost answer are genuinely good.
Anything holding food jumps the queue. Freezer calls take priority across 32207 and 32217. 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 first, then the inlet valve at $428, then the supply line. Reseat and flush the filter before anything else; it is free. See ice maker not making ice.
- 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 under the bin — usually the inlet valve failing to close 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 — the sealed system, at a $700 company median across 107 jobs. On a chest or upright freezer over about ten years old that is where replacement becomes a serious argument. See how long freezers last.
Where in San Marco and San Jose We Cover This
Both ZIPs, at the same price, with no travel surcharge, and with priority scheduling on anything holding food. All three of our tagged ice and freezer calls came from 32207, and the dispenser module quote was also in 32207 — 32217 has nothing on this page at all, which is a gap in our record rather than a claim about the neighbourhood.
On the name: the Postal Service lists both ZIPs as Jacksonville and nothing else, with Jax listed as a name to avoid. San Marco and San Jose are neighbourhood names rather than postal cities.
| ZIP | Ice and freezer work on record | Water hardness | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32207 Jacksonville | 3 tagged calls, none paid · 1 dispenser module quote | 298 ppm · 17 grains | Very Hard |
| 32217 Jacksonville | None on record | 285 ppm · 17 grains | Very Hard |
| Water source | Floridan aquifer, about 1,000 feet down, aerated to remove sulphur odour then chlorinated. No softening step | JEA | |

Around San Marco and San Jose
Ice and freezer work in the neighbouring districts is on its own pages, and several carry the same caution as this one. South is Mandarin, where refrigerators are 42 percent of the book, and beyond it St. Johns and Fruit Cove. East is Southside and the University of North Florida area in 32224, where one ice ticket ran to $931.
North over the bridges are Riverside, Avondale and Springfield and Northwest Jacksonville. North-east is Arlington, where three ice maker replacements were hiding inside untagged tickets, and beyond it Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach. In St. Johns County, Nocatee sits on the hardest water JEA publishes anywhere. The San Marco set starts at the San Marco appliance repair hub.
Repair or Replace
Ice makers and freezers pull in opposite directions. An ice maker module at a $449 company median is weighed against a refrigerator that is otherwise perfectly good, so replacement is not really the alternative — the honest alternative is living without built-in ice, which is what 37 percent of households quoted this work choose, including one household in this district.
That is a legitimate decision and we will not push against it. A standalone freezer runs the other way: a chest or upright unit costs perhaps $400 to $900 new, so the $700 company median for a freezer compressor is close enough to a replacement that on a unit over about ten years old we will usually say so ourselves before you have to ask.
Everything below the sealed system — defrost heater at $364, gasket at $389, thermostat at $390, fan at $396 — is comfortably worth doing on any freezer still in reasonable condition. Framework: repair or replace guide.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in San Marco — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker repair cost in San Marco, Jacksonville?
We cannot give you a local figure, because we have never completed a paid ice maker or freezer repair in 32207 or 32217 — three tagged calls came in and none converted. Budget from our company book instead: $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.
If you have never done this work here, should I still call you?
Yes. We cover both ZIPs for ice and freezer work at exactly the same price as everywhere else, with no travel surcharge, and with priority scheduling because anything holding food runs on a clock. What we do not have is a completed local invoice to quote a median from, and rather than invent one we have told you so and used company figures built on thousands of repairs.
The technicians, parts, diagnostic fee and 90-day parts and labor warranty are identical here to every other district we work in.
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 both of these read Very Hard — 298 parts per million or 17 grains per gallon in 32207 and 285 ppm in 32217 — with no softening step anywhere in JEA treatment, because the aquifer water is aerated to remove sulphur odour and then chlorinated.
Practically that means filters and fill tubes need attention sooner than the manual suggests, and inlet valves are a wear part rather than a lifetime one.
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. Work through it in this order and the first three are free. Reseat the water filter until it clicks and turns to its stop, then run several litres through.
Check the shut-off valve on the supply line under the sink or behind the machine is fully open. Put a thermometer in the freezer, because below about 10°F the cycle slows. If all three are right, 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.
Is it worth replacing an ice maker module?
That is genuinely your call. At a company median of $449 you are spending real money on a refrigerator that otherwise works, and the alternative is not a new refrigerator — it is buying ice. Company-wide that quote splits close to even, and one household in this district did exactly that when quoted a dispenser module.
What we will not do is let anyone approve that spend without seeing the number first. If the fault turns out to be the filter, the fill tube or the freezer temperature instead, those are much cheaper or free, which is why the checks on this page come before the booking button.
Could you actually have done more ice work here than you say?
Quite possibly, and it is worth being open about. Ninety-five of our 192 tickets in this district never record which appliance was involved at all, so tagged counts here are floors rather than totals. We read the written descriptions on the untagged invoices looking for hidden ice work and found only the dispenser module quote.
On the neighbouring Arlington book the same exercise turned up three ice maker replacements that had never been tagged as ice jobs. So three tagged calls is what we can prove in this district, and proving is the standard we hold ourselves to on these pages.
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 before you have to ask. Either way we diagnose first and give you the total before anything is ordered, and freezer calls take priority in our schedule.
