BOSCH ICE MAKER · SAN RAMON
Bosch ice maker not working in San Ramon? We fix it.
A Bosch ice maker that quits is usually a water or a freeze problem, not a dead fridge. These run on a small set of parts, and when one fails the rest of the unit keeps cooling fine. Nine times out of ten it is one inexpensive piece worth fixing.

Why this happens
What we look for first.
- Frozen fill tube starving the ice maker. The most common no-ice call on Bosch French-door units. The plastic fill tube that feeds water into the ice mold ices over from a slow drip or a slightly warm fill, and once it plugs, no water reaches the mold. You get an empty ice maker that hums and cycles but never drops cubes. We thaw the tube, find why it froze (low fill volume or a weak inlet valve), and correct the source so it does not freeze right back up. Just melting the ice without fixing the cause is why it keeps coming back.
- Water inlet valve weak or dead. The inlet valve is the solenoid at the back of the fridge that opens to fill the ice mold and the dispenser. As it ages the screen behind it silts up or the solenoid weakens, so fills get short or stop entirely. Symptom is small partial cubes, hollow cubes, or no fill at all. We meter the valve coil for resistance, check water pressure to the valve, and confirm it actually opens on a fill call before we replace it. A weak valve is also what freezes the fill tube, so we check both together.

Before you call
Is your fridge worth repairing?
Repair price depends on what failed and how the unit is built. If your refrigerator cost under $1,000 new, the repair math may not work. We diagnose the unit on site and provide the written repair estimate before any work starts.
Premium built-ins in the Sub-Zero, Monogram, and Thermador class are designed to be serviced. We diagnose the fault and help you compare the written repair estimate with replacement.
Two free checks before you call: vacuum the condenser coils, and run the dollar-bill test on the door seal by closing the fridge on a bill and seeing how easily it slides out. If the power blinked recently, give the compressor a full day before deciding it is dead. If the fridge really is done, put that money toward the next one instead. Our other trade is heating and cooling, and a replacement assessment visit for an A/C, furnace, or heat pump is free.
