Ice Maker and Freezer Repair Westside Jacksonville FL
We have run eight freezer and ice maker jobs across the four Westside ZIPs, and two of the three that needed a part were commercial units — so there is no honest residential local price to publish here and we have not invented one.
Everything priced on this page comes from our company-wide book instead: 2,091 ice maker repairs at a $415 median and 2,269 freezer repairs at $385. The four checks below are worth ten minutes when you book.
Ice Maker and Freezer Repair on the Westside, 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. Household and commercial units both.
What Ice Maker and Freezer Repair Costs, by Component
Three local repairs with a part is not a sample, and two of those three were commercial equipment, so no local median appears in this table. What follows is company-wide: 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.
| 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 | Happens 57.1% of the time here | 4 of 7 |
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 Westside Freezers and Ice Makers Fail the Way They Do
This is the thinnest local sample in the Westside cluster, so we will be explicit about what we know and do not know, and then give you the company-wide picture in full.
Two of our three Westside repairs were commercial freezers TRUE AND TURBO AIR
Of the eight freezer and ice maker jobs we have run in these four ZIPs, three involved replacing a part, and two of those were commercial units — a True commercial freezer and a Turbo Air. Commercial refrigeration is a different machine at a different price, and averaging it in with home freezers would produce a number that misleads every homeowner reading it.
So we have published no local median at all. What it does tell you is a real thing about this territory: the Westside has enough small commercial kitchens and light industry that we get called to commercial refrigeration here, and we do that work. If you have a True, Turbo Air or similar unit down, book the same way.
Most no-ice calls come down to four settings MINUTES TO CHECK
A freezer and an ice maker are the two machines where the cause is most often a setting rather than a part. 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.
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. 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. Those four take about ten minutes and settle most no-ice calls. If it still will not make ice, book online or call (954) 902-6229.

Around the Westside
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 Orange Park, St. Johns and Fruit Cove, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach and Fernandina Beach.
Because most ice makers here live inside a refrigerator, the Westside 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 Westside Freezers and Ice Makers
Only 2 of our eight Westside freezer and ice maker jobs carry a brand, both Whirlpool, which tells you nothing and we will not pretend otherwise. Across the whole cluster our 160 brand-tagged jobs of every type run Whirlpool 28.1 percent, Samsung 20.6 percent, GE 16.3 percent and Frigidaire 13.1 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. Commercial units — True, Turbo Air and similar — almost always need parts ordered, and we say so before we start.
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 three 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, so do the four checks the technician runs first.
A standalone household 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, so we put the repair total next to the price of a comparable new freezer and let the arithmetic speak.
Commercial refrigeration is the third case and the arithmetic is entirely different, because replacement runs into thousands and downtime costs money, which is why almost all commercial work goes to repair.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair on the Westside — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker repair cost on the Westside of Jacksonville?
We have eight freezer and ice maker jobs in these four ZIPs and only three involved replacing a part, two of which were commercial units, so there is no honest local median and we have not published one. Our company-wide figures are 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 not carry local Westside prices?
Because the sample cannot carry one honestly. Of the eight jobs here, three involved replacing a part, and two of those were commercial freezers, a True and a Turbo Air, whose repair costs tell a homeowner nothing useful. That leaves one residential repair, which is not a median.
Every figure here comes from our company-wide book instead, with the job count shown on each line. The other five Westside appliance pages do carry local figures, because those samples support them.
Do you repair commercial freezers and ice machines on the Westside?
Yes. Two of the three Westside freezer repairs where we replaced a part were commercial units, a True commercial freezer and a Turbo Air, so this is work we actually do here rather than a claim.
Commercial refrigeration is a different machine at a different price and almost always needs parts ordered, and we tell you the total and the timeline before starting. The repair-or-replace maths is also different, because commercial replacement runs into thousands and downtime costs money.
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.
Which Westside ZIP codes do you cover for freezer and ice maker repair?
All four: 32210, 32244, 32221 and 32222, at the same price with no travel surcharge between them. Our eight jobs in this category break down as 3 in 32210, 3 in 32244, 2 in 32221 and none yet in 32222. On eight jobs that distribution means very little, and it does not affect the service, the price or the priority we give freezer calls.
