Ice Maker and Freezer Repair in Round Rock
Service call $89 to $119, waived with repair. Most repairs $175 to $400
Ice makers fail more than any other part of a refrigerator, and in Williamson County they get used hard. Camp Mabry's normal highs run 97 in July and 98 in August with weeks of 100-degree days most summers, so the ice bin empties daily from May into September, and the very hard Lake Georgetown and Edwards Aquifer water shortens the life of every valve and mold in them.
Problems we fix
- No ice: water inlet valve, frozen fill tube, ice maker module, control arm or sensor.
- Slow or small, hollow cubes: low water pressure, a clogged filter, or a weak inlet valve.
- Ice tastes or smells off: old filter, contaminated bin, or a mold issue in the chute.
- Leaking or ice clumping from a stuck fill valve or a bin that is not cooling evenly.
- Under-counter and built-in ice machines (Scotsman, U-Line, KitchenAid, Sub-Zero, GE Monogram) not cycling, not harvesting, or leaking.
- Chest and upright freezers not freezing, frosting heavily, or running constantly.
- Refrigerator freezer sections warm while the fresh food side is cold, or vice versa.
Water quality
Round Rock drinks Lake Georgetown water blended with Edwards Aquifer wells and Lake Travis water from the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority plant, and the city's 2025 report puts average hardness at 249 mg/L, roughly 14.5 grains, with the year's samples running 100 to 358 ppm and calcium 45 to 95 ppm, so inlet valves, screens, filters and ice maker molds scale up faster than the manufacturer expects. Filters should be changed every six months and more often where the water is hard; a clogged filter mimics a failed ice maker and is the first thing the technician checks.
Pricing
The service call in Round Rock is $89 to $119, waived with the repair. Most ice maker repairs run $175 to $400 parts and labor. Built-in ice machine repairs are quoted after diagnosis.
A six-month-old filter is the first suspect when the ice stops, so check its date before anything else. Then call (737) 387-6551; ice maker calls in Round Rock and across Williamson County get the filter checked first.
