SUB-ZERO ICE MAKER · SAN BRUNO
Sub-Zero ice maker not working in San Bruno? We fix it.
A Sub-Zero ice maker that quits is rarely the whole unit. On these built-ins and columns the problem is almost always one part in the water path or one component in the ice-maker module, and it is worth fixing right. We run Sub-Zero refrigeration every week and know which part to pull first.

Why this happens
What we look for first.
- Water inlet valve failed or clogged. The inlet valve sits at the back of the cabinet and opens to feed water to the ice mold on each cycle. The solenoid weakens, the screen behind it scales up with mineral, or the valve sticks closed, and the mold never fills. No fill means no ice even though the module keeps cycling and ejecting empty. We meter the solenoid for coil resistance, check for voltage at the valve during a fill call, and verify line pressure before we condemn it. A bad valve is one of the most common no-ice causes on these units.
- Frozen fill tube. Water dribbles into the back of the mold through a small plastic fill tube. If the valve weeps, or the mold runs too cold, that last bit of water freezes in the tube and caps it off. Next cycle the water has nowhere to go, so it backs up or spills, and ice production stops. The tell is a small ice plug right where the tube meets the mold. We thaw the tube, find why it froze, and fix the root cause, usually a weeping valve, so it does not come right back.
