No bang, no puddle, no code — the bin just stops refilling somewhere between one cookout and the next. The ice maker fails quietly because it's a chain of small dependencies, and any idle link stops the whole line without ceremony.
The encouraging statistics: this complaint produces more no-parts discharges than any other in the practice. Bumped shut-off arms, geriatric filters and warm-running freezers resolve for the $90 finding — which is why the free checks below are genuinely worth your two minutes.
Confirm the wire arm is down or the paddle unblocked. Ten seconds; a startling share of cases end right here.
Past six months, swap it and give the machine two days. Starved flow mimics deeper disease.
Ice production needs roughly 0–5°F. A freezer running warm for gasket reasons idles the maker with nothing broken inside it.
The exam sits through one full harvest with the covers off — fill volume, mold temperature behavior, ejection motion, bin sensing — because ten patient minutes of observation outdiagnose an hour of parts-swapping. The water path gets pressure and screen checks calibrated to your water source, well or municipal.
Treatment from $252. Valves and arms prescribe at the light end; a failing module usually prescribes as a complete assembly — the surgery you won't repeat next season — as one clean written line. First harvest drops before the van leaves.
It runs its own water line and electrics, so it retires independently. Routine admission; no omen about the rest of the machine.
Because defrosting melts the plug a weeping valve keeps rebuilding. The relapse cycle is the diagnosis — the valve is the cure.
Usually a parallel one: mineral content, worst on wells. The exam checks the screen either way, and the chart tells you whether it's disease or just your aquifer's handwriting.

The intake is the first half of the diagnosis — the machine, the complaint and your ZIP decide what rides on the van. A weekday callback confirms your window.
The from-price covers the visit, the diagnosis and every hour of repair work. It's published before you call.
A needed part is written up separately and signed before it's fitted. Stop at the diagnosis instead and $90 is the whole bill.
