Perlick Ice Maker Service for Houses, Condos and Rentals

Perlick has no connection to us, and we aren't one of its authorized repair centers. If your ice maker is still under Perlick's factory warranty, start with Perlick. After that coverage ends, send us the model number and what it's doing when you book; that lets us research parts before the visit.

Salt air near the bay
Close to the water, condenser coils and fan motors corrode sooner. A unit on a lanai or outdoor kitchen should be outdoor-rated.
Hot garages
A second fridge or chest freezer in a summer garage may cycle nonstop and still run warm. Compare the garage to the ambient range in the owner's manual before calling it broken.
After an outage
Once power is back, give the unit a day to pull down before judging it. If it still won't hold temperature, mention the outage when you book.
Condos & gated communities
High-rises Downtown or on Bayshore, HOA gates in Westchase or New Tampa: put the gate code, elevator rules or guest parking spot in your notes.
Tenants & owners
A renter can set up the visit. We report the diagnosis and the quote to whoever owns the appliance, and they sign off before the repair.
Bungalows & older houses
In a pre-war bungalow or an early ranch, a modern appliance may be wired into a much older house. We look at the outlet, supply line and vent along with the unit.

How an Ice Maker Repair Visit Works

01

Book the Visit

Tell us which section is warm, whether you hear the fan or compressor, and what the model tag says.

02

Find the Fault

We read coil and cabinet temperatures, check both fans and test the defrost parts before naming the fault.

03

Your Go-Ahead

You hear the diagnosis and the price, and decide. If the repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.

04

Fixed and Verified

We install the part matched to your model, then run it to make sure the problem is gone.

Perlick ice maker design and construction

Perlick's undercounter ice makers freeze cubes from circulating water, so dissolved minerals stay behind in the water instead of locking into the ice. That is how they make clear cubes, and it is also why they scale up. As deposits build, harvest slows, cubes come out small or misshapen, and eventually production stops. The drain is the other half of the story. Many Perlick ice makers carry a factory drain pump, and a pump that fails or a line that clogs leaves water in the bin or under the unit. On a lanai, add leaves and grit in the drain path and summer heat that keeps the machine working hard. We look at the water supply, the drain and the freezing surface before refrigeration, because that is where most Perlick ice calls end up.

Common Perlick ice maker failures

  • Drain pump failed, water standing in the bin
  • Mineral scale slowing the harvest
  • Water inlet valve not opening
  • Supply line kinked or filter clogged
  • Bin too warm, cubes fusing together

FAQ

Perlick Ice Maker Repair FAQ

A few plain answers before you book. Details about your home or the appliance can go in the form's notes field.

Didn't see your question?

Tell us the brand, model number and the symptom. A few things can be ruled out from a description; most faults need testing on site.

Output falls as the surrounding air and incoming water get warmer, so some slowdown on a hot lanai is expected. A big drop, or no ice at all, points to scale, a dirty condenser or a water supply problem, and we check those first.

Follow the cleaning interval in your model's manual, and do it sooner if output falls or the cubes look thin. Scale builds steadily, and cleaning on schedule heads off a lot of service calls.
