Ice Maker and Freezer Repair St. Johns FL
We have run only three ice maker and freezer jobs in ZIP 32259, so there is no honest local price to publish and we are not going to invent one. Every figure on this page comes instead from our company-wide book: 2,091 completed ice maker repairs at a $415 median and 2,269 freezer repairs at $385, each broken out by component with the job count attached.
Three calls across a ZIP of 25,181 homes is itself worth a paragraph, and it gets one below. $99 diagnostic, applied to the repair, 90-day parts and labor warranty.
Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in St. Johns, FL
No ice, hollow or small cubes, ice with a taste, water leaking into the tray, freezer not holding temperature, frost sheeting the walls. Standalone freezers and built-in ice makers included.
What Ice Maker and Freezer Repair Costs, by Component
Three local jobs is not a sample, it is an anecdote, so no local median appears in this table. What follows is our company-wide data, which is the largest honest source we have for this question: 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 yourself. Everything is parts, labor and the service call together.
| 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 that the ice maker column runs high and narrow, $393 to $488 across seven different failures, while freezers run lower and then jump. Everything on a freezer that is not the compressor sits between $364 and $494; the compressor is $700, roughly double.
That is the same shape we see on refrigerators, 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. Our full component data across 29,315 repairs is in appliance repair cost by component.
Why St. Johns Ice Makers and Freezers Fail the Way They Do
This is the one page in the St. Johns cluster where the local numbers are too thin to lead with, so we will be explicit about what we do and do not know, and then give you the company-wide picture in full.
Three calls in a ZIP of 25,181 homes 2.0 PERCENT OF OUR WORK HERE
Ice makers and freezers are 3 of the 149 St. Johns jobs where our paperwork names an appliance, 2.0 percent, against 3.3 percent company-wide across 35,500 identified jobs. Almost nobody in 32259 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 a frozen fill tube at $393 is a long way from a control board at $488.
Most freezer calls come down to airflow and temperature WORTH CHECKING FIRST
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. Ice makers sit at 37.0 percent.
There is a straightforward explanation 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 overdue for replacement, 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. Ten minutes of checks when you book has a genuine chance of saving you the visit entirely.
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 ice bin.
People describe it as a leak and expect a plumbing repair, but there is usually nothing broken. The tube froze because the freezer runs slightly too cold, or the water pressure is low, or the inlet valve is not sealing fully and drips after the fill. Clearing the tube is $393 median; the valve behind it, if that is the cause, is $428.
Frost sheeting the freezer walls is the defrost system, and it is 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 of the freezer and progresses to reduced airflow, then to a fresh-food compartment drifting warm on a combined unit.
Left long enough it presents as a refrigerator that is not cooling, which is why the two problems are frequently the same problem. 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. Roughly six in ten of these visits end with a part fitted, and the checks are ten minutes well spent. If it still will not make ice, book online or call (954) 902-6229.

Because most ice makers in this ZIP live inside a refrigerator, the St. Johns 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. 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 the 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 Ice Makers and Freezers
Only 2 of our St. Johns ice maker and freezer jobs carry a brand, which tells you nothing at all, and we will not dress two job tags up as a pattern.
Across the whole ZIP, our 122 brand-tagged jobs of every type run Whirlpool 30.3 percent, GE 18.9 percent, Samsung 16.4 percent and Frigidaire 16.4 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 and Frigidaire 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. Worth stating plainly, as we do everywhere: this counts how often we are called out to a brand, not how reliable that brand is.
A brand with a bigger installed base generates more calls simply by being everywhere. See most reliable appliance brands.
Repair or Replace, in Real Numbers
Split this into two different decisions, because they are not the same. An ice maker inside a refrigerator is almost never a replace decision on its own: the repair runs a $415 median and replacing the refrigerator to fix the ice maker makes no sense at all, so the only real question is whether you want ice enough to spend it.
Given how often these turn out to be a setting rather than a fault, do the checks first. A standalone freezer is a genuine repair-or-replace call. A mid-market chest or upright freezer 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 standalone unit is most of the way to a new one — and it is worth knowing that 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.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in St. Johns — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker repair cost in St. Johns, FL?
We have only three ice maker and freezer jobs in ZIP 32259, which is not enough to publish a local price, so we use our company-wide figures instead: 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, an evaporator or condenser fan $432, a filter replaced on the visit $440, an ice maker module $449 and a control board $488. A diagnostic visit on its own is $99.
Why does this page not have local St. Johns prices like the others?
Because we have run only three ice maker and freezer jobs in this ZIP, 2.0 percent of the St. Johns work where our paperwork names an appliance. Publishing a median off three 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 appliance pages in this cluster do carry local figures because those 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, because a clogged filter starves the ice maker before it affects the drinking water noticeably.
And confirm the freezer is actually at 0°F, since 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 the tube 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 system 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 present identically 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.
Do you repair standalone freezers and built-in ice machines, not just refrigerator ice makers?
Yes to all three. Standalone chest and upright freezers, ice makers built into a refrigerator, and undercounter ice machines. The repair-or-replace decision is different for each: an ice maker inside a working refrigerator is essentially never a reason to replace the refrigerator, while a standalone freezer at roughly $500 to $1,100 to replace is a real decision, particularly when the diagnosis is a compressor.
Do you cover Fruit Cove and Julington Creek as well as St. Johns?
Yes, all of it, at the same price. Fruit Cove, Julington Creek, Switzerland, Saint Johns and Jacksonville are all names USPS accepts for the same delivery area, ZIP 32259.
Across all appliances we have 300 jobs inside that single ZIP, 157 written as Jacksonville, 107 as Saint Johns, 32 as Fruit Cove and 4 as Julington Creek. There is no travel surcharge between the names and no difference in the price list.
