MAYTAG ICE MAKER · MORAGA
Maytag ice maker not working in Moraga? We fix it.
A Maytag fridge that makes no ice is rarely the whole appliance dying. Ice makers fail at one of a handful of parts, and on these Whirlpool-built units the pattern is predictable. We find the dead part, fix that part, and leave the rest alone.

Why this happens
What we look for first.
- Frozen fill tube. The most common no-ice cause we run on Maytag. The small water fill tube that feeds the ice mold ices over, usually from a weak inlet valve dribbling between fills, and water can no longer reach the mold. You get an empty tray and sometimes a thin slug of ice jamming the inlet. We thaw the tube, then go find why it froze, normally a slow-closing valve or a low water pressure issue, so it does not freeze right back up.
- Failed water inlet valve. The inlet valve is a solenoid that opens to let water into the ice maker on each cycle. The screen behind it clogs with sediment, or the solenoid coil weakens and the valve no longer opens fully, so the mold gets a trickle or nothing. The fridge cycles the ice maker but no water arrives. We meter the coil for resistance and check water pressure at the valve, then replace it. This is the valve that also feeds the fill tube freeze above.

Moraga: response and coverage.
Moraga is a 30 minute run through Lafayette or over the hill. We pair it with the Orinda and Lafayette window, so same-week is the norm on these Lamorinda calls.
Neighborhoods we cover regularly in Moraga: Campolindo, Sanders Ranch, Moraga Country Club. Beyond those, our service area in Moraga covers the city limits.
Moraga is the quiet corner of Lamorinda, 94556. Plenty of the kitchens run everyday brands: KitchenAid, GE Profile, Whirlpool, LG, especially around Rheem Valley and the Saint Mary's College side. The country-club neighborhoods carry a premium built-in layer, but that's a slice of the work, not the whole town.

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.
