Sub-Zero · Hingham, MA
Ice Maker Repair
Clear ice makers and in-freezer modules, including the stand-alone under-counter units common in Hingham butler's pantries. Water lines that run through an unheated crawl space or basement are a frequent cause here, alongside fill valves, moulds and ejector faults.
Flat $95 service call, credited against the repair once you approve it.
How it gets described
What people ring about
- Hollow or half-formed cubes coming off the mould
- Unit filling with water but never ejecting
- Bin smelling of whatever is open in the refrigerator
- Production falling behind after a weekend of guests
On the visit
What actually gets measured
- Fill valve operation and the inlet screen, plus water pressure at the line
- Water line route for a section running through unheated space
- Mould heater and ejector cycle, watched through a full harvest
- Bin thermostat or optics, and the shut-off arm where the model has one
None of that is a formality. A ice maker repair quote written before the readings are taken is a guess with a price on it.
What it tends to cost
Ranges, not a quote
These are the bands this shop actually works to on the South Shore. Where a job lands inside one depends on the part, on how much of the cabinet has to come apart to reach it, and on how long that takes. Your figure is quoted after the diagnosis, before any work starts.
| Repair | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Door gasket or seal replacement | $270 $740 |
| Evaporator or condenser fan motor | $290 $600 |
| Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor | $300 $730 |
| Ice maker, water valve or supply line | $300 $710 |
| Electronic control board | $480 $910 |
| Compressor or sealed-system repair | $1,010 $2,090 |
Flat $95 service call covering the visit and full diagnosis, credited against the repair once you approve it.
For comparison, replacing a built-in of this kind runs $7,860 to $20,240 for the appliance alone, before delivery, installation or panel work. That gap is usually why a board or a fan motor is worth repairing on a cabinet that is otherwise sound.

The supply line runs through an unheated basement out here and it froze again in January, second winter running. He thawed it, moved a section away from the sill and insulated the whole run. Through every cold snap since it has kept producing.

Production fell right off after a weekend with a full house. The bin sensor was coated and the mould thermostat was drifting. He cleaned one, replaced the other, and we got through the next weekend without running dry.

The bin had started smelling of everything else in the kitchen. He explained it was the drain rather than the ice, cleared the trap and replaced a split bin gasket. Simple, but nobody before him had bothered to look.
