8 Signs That Your Ice Maker Needs Repairs
When a household appliance such as an ice maker stops working properly, your first thought may be to simply get another one to replace it. However, the problem could be an easy fix that requires a few turns of the wrench, or it could be a matter of simply changing a part—and getting an appliance repair technician to take a look at the problem can definitely save you a bundle in the long run. Make sure to call an expert if your ice maker has any of the following problems:
1. It won’t make ice - This is obviously a major
problem—and if you can’t solve it by simply
making sure the machine is plugged in and turned on, a repair technician can help you troubleshoot and fix the issue. For example, water may not be flowing into the ice maker, the machine may not be getting cold enough, or it may have air in the line.
2. The ice has a bad taste - Your ice should taste like, well, ice. It shouldn’t smell, look cloudy, or contain any contaminant. An expert can find the problem and fix it so you won’t have to worry about what’s in your drink.
3. Loud noises are coming from the machine - If your ice maker is keeping you up at night, it is likely the result of wear and tear as well as insufficient maintenance. A repair technician can very likely fix the problem at a much lower price than the cost of buying a new ice maker or refrigerator, so consider repair before you go out to spend a lot on something new.
4. Dirty or discolored ice - There could be impurities in the water line— a technician can flush the water supply line to remove hard-water buildup and other contaminants that are making your ice less than appealing.

5. Water leaks - Pooling water under the refrigerator indicates you have a problem—one that shouldn’t wait. A water leak could be a sign of larger problems and can be hard to assess without an experienced technician addressing whether there is a problem with the ice maker itself, the refrigerator, the connections, or something else.
6. Overheating - Don’t let your ice maker overheat for too long—after all, it is a waste of energy, so get it looked at as soon as possible.
7. Ice maker not getting water - Again, something may be wrong with the water line.
8. Low productivity - If your ice maker isn’t producing much, there is likely an issue that should be looked at. Instead of waiting, simply call a pro and tell them what's going on—you'll be surprised how much lower the cost will be than to replace a broken ice maker completely.
