Ice Machine & Ice Maker Repair in Detroit, MI
No ice for the party, or cubes coming out cloudy and small? A residential ice machine is a mini refrigeration system, and it needs a real refrigeration tech. Motor City repairs freestanding, undercounter and built-in ice makers same-day — restoring clear, full-size cubes and steady output.
A refrigeration repair most companies won't touch.
Ice machines are deceptively complex — a full refrigeration circuit, a water system, and a harvest cycle that all have to work in sync. That's why many appliance companies skip them, and why homeowners with a dead Scotsman or U-Line struggle to find help. Our ice machine repair service exists to fill exactly that gap across Detroit.
We repair standalone nugget and gourmet-cube machines, undercounter units in home bars and kitchens, built-in models, and the ice makers inside refrigerators. Metro Detroit's hard water is tough on these systems — scale clogs lines and coats evaporators — so most repairs also include a descale and sanitize to keep the ice clean and the output strong.

Sound like your ice machine?
No ice at all
Machine runs but nothing drops — water inlet valve, clogged line/filter, or control board. Our most common ice maker repair.
Slow / low production
Making far less ice than it should — dirty condenser, scale buildup, or low water flow. A clean-and-repair usually fixes it.
Cloudy or small cubes
Milky, hollow or undersized cubes — low water, clogged filter, or a short freeze cycle. We restore clear, full cubes.
Leaking water
Water on the floor or in the cabinet — cracked line, failed valve, clogged drain or pump seal. We find and seal it.
Freezing up / won't harvest
A solid ice block or cubes that won't release — harvest sensor, hot-gas valve or thermostat. We get the cycle dropping again.
Bad taste or odor
Off-tasting or smelly ice — mold, scale or a stale filter. We deep-clean, sanitize and replace the filter.
Also serviced: refrigerator built-in ice makers, dispensers that jam, machines that overfill the bin, and units that run constantly. Freestanding, undercounter and built-in ice machines — across Detroit.

What Metro Detroit says about our ice machine repairs
"Called four companies and Motor City was the only one who'd even touch my Scotsman. Luis descaled it, replaced a valve, and it's pumping ice like new."
"Our undercounter ice maker was making cloudy little cubes for months. They cleaned it out and fixed the water flow — clear ice again. Great with the hard water issue."
"Ice maker in my Sub-Zero was leaking into the cabinet. They found it fast, sealed it, and checked the whole system. Knew exactly what they were doing."
Answers before you book
Why is my ice machine not making ice?
No ice is usually caused by a clogged water line or filter, a failed water inlet valve, a dirty condenser, or a faulty control board. We diagnose the exact cause on site — many Detroit ice machine repairs are completed the same day.
Why is my ice maker producing cloudy or small cubes?
Cloudy or undersized cubes usually point to low water flow, a clogged filter, scale buildup, or a thermostat cutting the freeze cycle short. A cleaning and part replacement typically restores clear, full-size cubes.
Do you repair undercounter and built-in ice machines?
Yes. We service residential freestanding, undercounter, and built-in ice machines from brands like Scotsman, U-Line, Sub-Zero and KitchenAid, plus the ice makers built into refrigerators.
How often should a home ice machine be cleaned or serviced?
Most residential ice machines should be descaled and sanitized every 6 to 12 months, especially with Metro Detroit's hard water. Regular service prevents most no-ice and slow-production problems before they start.
My ice machine is leaking water — can you fix it?
Yes. Leaks usually come from a cracked water line, a failed inlet valve, a clogged drain, or a worn pump seal. We find the source and repair it, then confirm a clean freeze-and-harvest cycle before we leave.
