How We Approach Sub-Zero Ice Maker Repair
Ice maker repair spans three separate systems: the water supply system (inlet valve, water filter, supply line), the ice-making mechanism (module, mold heater, ejector arm), and the freezer temperature system that the ice maker depends on. Misidentifying which system is failing leads to unnecessary parts replacement. We diagnose all three before recommending a repair path.
Sub-Zero uses a dual-compressor sealed system — a separate compressor for the refrigerator section and another for the freezer — which is fundamentally different from every standard single-compressor refrigerator on the market. Diagnosing a Sub-Zero correctly means knowing which compressor is failing, understanding how the dual-evaporator system shares the cabinet, and being able to test the proprietary control board that manages both circuits. A technician who doesn't know this platform will likely misdiagnose it.
Sub-Zero OEM parts — compressor boards, evaporator fans, ice maker assemblies — are not interchangeable with generic equivalents and must be sourced from authorized distributors. We stock the most commonly needed Sub-Zero parts on our trucks, which allows us to complete most repairs in a single visit rather than ordering parts and returning days later.
We've been servicing Sub-Zero appliances throughout Federal Way and Tacoma for 13+ years. The $139–$199 service call is applied toward the repair when you approve the work — and we provide a written estimate before any work begins.

Sub-Zero Ice Maker Repair FAQs
How much does Sub-Zero ice maker repair cost in Federal Way?
Sub-Zero ice maker repair is billed as labor and parts separately. Labor starts from $280 for most repairs; OEM parts are quoted after diagnosis. The $139–$199 service call is applied toward the repair when you approve the work.
Do you repair Sub-Zero built-in and under-counter ice makers?
Yes. We service both built-in refrigerator ice makers and dedicated under-counter Sub-Zero ice maker units. Each has different failure modes and we diagnose accordingly.
Why is my ice maker producing hollow or small cubes?
Small or hollow cubes almost always mean low water pressure at the inlet valve — often caused by a partially clogged or expired water filter. Replace the filter first. If that doesn't resolve it, the inlet valve itself may need replacement.
What warranty do you provide on repairs?
We provide a 30-day warranty on all labor and a 90-day warranty on all parts we install.

"I was lucky when I picked this company. My dishwasher wouldn’t drain and the big burner on my stove quit working. The tech figured out the problem for both rather quickly! He was polite and knew what he was doing! I would use them again and recommend them to others."
