Ice Maker and Freezer Repair Yulee FL
We have two ice maker and freezer jobs on record in Yulee, and both were commercial equipment: a Hoshizaki ice machine and an Imperial freezer. Not a single household ice maker, which is unusual enough to be the most useful thing this page can tell you.
There is no residential local price to publish and we have not invented one — the figures here come from our company-wide book of 2,091 ice maker repairs at a $415 median and 2,269 freezer repairs at $385. We service both household and commercial units across all of 32097, Wildlight included.
Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Yulee, 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, standalone freezers and commercial ice machines.
What Ice Maker and Freezer Repair Costs, by Component
One local repair is not a sample, 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, 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 | 1 of our 2 local visits | — |
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 Yulee Ice Makers and Freezers Fail the Way They Do
Yulee is ZIP 32097 in Nassau County, 10,458 housing units across 124.7 square miles, with water and sewer supplied by JEA rather than a Nassau utility. Two things shape this page: what our own two jobs actually were, and what the water arriving at the fill valve is.
Both of our local jobs were commercial machines HOSHIZAKI AND IMPERIAL
Of the two ice maker and freezer jobs we have run in 32097, one was a Hoshizaki ice machine and the other an Imperial freezer — both commercial foodservice equipment rather than household appliances. That is not a coincidence we can explain from two jobs, and we are not going to try.
What it does tell you is real and checkable against our own record: this is work we actually do in Yulee, not a service line we are advertising speculatively. If you run a restaurant, a bar, a convenience store or a church kitchen out here with a Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman or similar unit down, book the same way a homeowner would.
It also means the residential side of this page has to lean entirely on our company book, and it does.
The water here comes from the Floridan Aquifer, and ice makers notice JEA GROUNDWATER
JEA provides water and sewer in Yulee, and JEA draws its supply from the Floridan Aquifer roughly a thousand feet down rather than from surface water.
Groundwater carries dissolved mineral content, and an ice maker is the appliance most sensitive to it: mineral deposits build in the fill tube, on the inlet valve seat and inside the mould, which is why filters matter more on ice than on drinking water and why a filter that is overdue starves the ice maker before anyone notices a taste at the tap.
We are deliberately not publishing a hardness figure here, because we have not been able to read it off JEA own report, and a number from anyone selling softeners is not a source. What we will say is the practical part: change the filter on schedule.
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.
The reason is that 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. That figure is worth weighing against the rest of Yulee, which has the lowest part-fitted share of 76.1 percent across all appliances — this is the one category where the odds work the other way.
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. Background is in ice maker not making ice.
When you book a household ice maker: 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 — or if you have a commercial machine down — book online or call (954) 902-6229.
Where in Yulee We See This Work
One ZIP code, and unlike most of our territory it agrees with itself. USPS lists Yulee as the primary city for 32097 and accepts Wildlight as an alternate name for the same delivery area, and every one of our 158 jobs here has Yulee on the address line.
| Detail | 32097 |
|---|---|
| USPS primary city | Yulee, FL |
| Accepted alternate name | Wildlight |
| County | Nassau |
| Water and sewer | JEA, drawn from the Floridan Aquifer |
| Our jobs in this category | 2, both commercial units |
| All our jobs in this ZIP | 158, from 132 households |
Wildlight addresses are covered at the same price with no travel surcharge, because they are the same postal code and the same van route. The full picture across every appliance is on appliance repair in Yulee, and because most household ice makers live inside a refrigerator, the Yulee refrigerator page is often the more useful starting point — it carries real local figures from 27 jobs.

The metro-level page is ice maker repair in Jacksonville FL, with the full territory on appliance repair in Jacksonville. East across the Intracoastal we cover Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island; south across the Nassau River it is the Northside and Oceanway, then the Westside, where two of our three freezer repairs were also commercial units, the Southside, Mandarin and St. Johns and Fruit Cove.
Background reading is in ice maker not making ice, freezer frost build-up 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. On groundwater supply the filter is the first thing to rule out. 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.
- Commercial machine producing thin, cloudy or slow ice — usually scale on the evaporator plate and a cleaning cycle overdue, not a failed component. Worth booking before production drops far enough to matter to the business.
Which Brands We See on Yulee Ice Makers and Freezers
Our two Yulee jobs in this category were a Hoshizaki commercial ice machine and an Imperial freezer, and neither is a household brand.
Two jobs is nothing to build on, so for the residential picture the honest guide is the cluster as a whole: our 76 brand-tagged Yulee jobs of every type run Whirlpool 27.6 percent, Samsung 23.7 percent, GE 17.1 percent, Frigidaire 10.5 percent, LG 6.6 percent and Maytag 5.3 percent.
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 commercial units almost always need parts ordered, which we say before starting rather than at the door.
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
Three different decisions, and Yulee has all three. 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 question is whether you want ice enough to spend it — and the checks below are the fastest way to find out which.
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 repairs are clear value, with the compressor at $700 the exception; across our whole book that quote splits close to even.
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 — and it is the case our own Yulee record actually consists of.

Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Yulee — Questions We Get
How much does ice maker repair cost in Yulee, FL?
We have two ice maker and freezer jobs on record in Yulee and only one involved replacing a part, so there is no local price to publish. 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.
Do you service commercial ice machines in Yulee?
Yes, and it is what our Yulee record in this category actually consists of. Both of our two local jobs were commercial equipment: a Hoshizaki ice machine and an Imperial freezer. If you run a restaurant, bar, convenience store or church kitchen out here with a unit down, book the same way a homeowner would.
Commercial refrigeration almost always needs parts ordered rather than carried, so we give you the total and the expected timeline before anything is approved, and the repair-or-replace maths is different because replacement runs into thousands and downtime costs money.
Why is there no local price on this page when the refrigerator page has one?
Because one repair is not a median, and that one repair was a Hoshizaki commercial ice machine at $795 — a figure that would mislead every homeowner if we averaged it into a household price. The Yulee refrigerator page rests on 27 jobs and 17 repairs, which is why it carries real local numbers.
We would rather tell you which pages on this site have local data behind them and which are borrowing from our company book than make all six look equally authoritative.
What should I check before booking a household 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.
Does the water in Yulee affect ice makers?
JEA provides water and sewer in Yulee and draws its supply from the Floridan Aquifer, roughly a thousand feet down, so this is groundwater rather than surface water. Groundwater carries dissolved mineral content, and an ice maker is the appliance most sensitive to it: deposits build in the fill tube, on the inlet valve seat and inside the mould.
We are not publishing a hardness figure, because we have not been able to read one off JEA own report and a number from a company selling softeners is not a source. The practical advice stands regardless: change the filter on schedule.
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.
Do you cover Wildlight as well as Yulee?
Yes, at the same price and with no travel surcharge. Wildlight is not a separate postal city: USPS lists Yulee as the primary city for ZIP 32097 and accepts Wildlight as an alternate name for the same delivery area.
Every one of our 158 jobs in this ZIP has Yulee on the address line, so if your mail says Wildlight and search results say Yulee, they are the same place and the same van route. Freezer calls get scheduling priority alongside refrigerators because food loss is on the clock.
