What’s the Expense for Repairing or Replacing an Ice Maker?
Few things are as disheartening as eagerly awaiting ice from your ice maker, only to find it unresponsive. When your ice maker ceases to function, it could signal the need for a replacement. Typically, replacing your refrigerator’s ice maker at Appliance SD falls within the $340 to $490 range, covering the replacement unit and the associated labor costs from a local refrigerator repair professional. Repairing the ice maker can be as economical as $140. However, it may exceed the expense of swapping out the entire unit.
What’s the Breakdown Cost of Repairing an Ice Maker by Part?
Ice makers comprise numerous components collaborating to produce and distribute ice for your refreshing beverages, whether iced water, coffee, or cocktails. However, wear and tear can cause these parts to malfunction, necessitating replacements such as motors or fill tubes to restore your unit to optimal functionality.
Drive Blade
The drive blade pushes ice from the dispenser into your cup. However, over time, it may dull, hindering proper ice dispensing. A replacement drive blade typically costs around $70, with the total expense for replacement—including parts and labor—falling within the range of $115 to $190.
Fill Tube
The fill tube channels water from the supply line to the ice maker, yet it is susceptible to cracking. A replacement fill tube can be purchased for approximately $60 to $80, with the overall replacement cost, including parts and labor, averaging between $115 and $165.
Filter
A recommended maintenance practice for your refrigerator and ice maker is replacing the filter every six months. Basic filters cost between $50 and $90 each. Alternatively, filters equipped with advanced filtration capabilities may cost between $140 and $240 each.
Motor
The ice maker’s motor is among the costlier replacements, an essential component for the entire system’s functionality. A new motor typically costs $140 to $190. At the same time, the total expense for its replacement, including the unit and labor, ranges from $240 to $440 if you choose Appliance SD.
Solenoid Valve
The solenoid valve, also known as the single water inlet valve, facilitates the flow of water from the supply line into the water valve and subsequently into the ice cube mold. Over time, the coils of the solenoid valve can deteriorate, causing the ice maker to cease functioning. Replacement parts for this component typically range from $65 to $115, with labor costs totaling $140 to $215.
Water Valve
The water valve regulates water flow into the ice maker’s cube mold by managing its on and off functions. However, if the valve malfunctions, it can lead to leaks. A replacement water valve typically costs around $60, with the total cost, including labor, ranging from $115 to $215. However, accessibility issues may elevate the overall expense, as is often encountered.
