Sub-Zero Ice Maker Repair in Edmonds: Hollow Cubes and Blocks
Clear-ice and standard Sub-Zero ice makers producing hollow cubes, frozen blocks, off-tasting ice or nothing at all.
What owners notice first
- Cubes come out hollow and about half the size they used to be.
- The bin fills with one frozen block instead of loose cubes.
- No ice for two days, though the water dispenser still runs fine.
- The ice tastes of the freezer and the cubes look milky rather than clear.
What it costs
Price bands, printed before you call
Each band covers the part and the labour to fit it. Once the fault is found, the technician names one figure inside the matching band, and that is the figure you pay.
One flat $89 service call pays for the visit and the complete diagnosis, and it comes off the repair price when you approve the work.
- Compressor or sealed-system repair Shows as a compressor that clicks and will not start, or refrigerant slowly lost
- $1,300–$3,270
- Door gasket or seal replacement Shows as one section creeping warm, beads of water or frost along a door edge
- $270–$620
- Evaporator or condenser fan motor Shows as a fan that has gone quiet behind the grille, or cold coils behind a warm shelf
- $340–$700
- Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor Shows as a back panel iced over, or a warm fridge sitting above a freezer that still works
- $290–$690
- Ice maker, water valve or supply line Shows as ice and water trouble, which is a different job from a cooling fault
- $270–$790
- Electronic control board Shows as a lit display and working lights while nothing calls the compressor on
- $420–$880
Where a job lands inside its range depends on which part fails and on whether the unit can be serviced where it stands or has to be eased out of its opening. For scale: a like-for-like new built-in, with the fitting and any cabinet work still to pay on top runs $12,110–$21,200, so the repair is always priced before anyone mentions a new one.

Two days with no ice, though the water dispenser ran fine. The recirculating pump had given out on the clear-ice side, and he was upfront that it comes from a supplier — so we waited a week for ice.
Cubes came out milky and tasted of whatever sat beside them. He flushed the reservoir, changed the filter and cleaned scale off the mold. Clear ice again, tasting of nothing, which is the point.
Hollow cubes for the best part of a year, so we had stopped using the bin. It was the inlet valve, not the module, and he said so plainly. Full-size cubes again, first visit.
Still warm? Ring before the food goes.
Say which side is warm and what the compressor sounds like — that is enough to start. Phone it through, or choose a slot on the booking page. $89 to find out, and the $89 comes off the repair.
