Ice Maker Notes for This Area
Ice makers in Falls Church's older houses often draw water through a line added long after construction: a copper or plastic tube run through the floor or along a baseboard from a pipe in the basement or utility room. Those lines get crushed, kinked or clogged at a saddle valve. Fairfax Water supplies the area, and minerals gradually collect on the fill valve's small screen. If the tray is full of ice that never releases, the ejector has stalled; if the tray is dry, look at the water supply. Also confirm that the shutoff arm or switch isn't in the off position.
Tracking down ice maker faults in postwar houses and high-rise condos
Rebuilt and expanded houses in 22042 and 22043 often have new refrigerator water lines, while older ones may still use a saddle valve on the original copper. When ice slows down, we check the valve, the line and the filter, then the inlet valve and the ice maker module. Lines that run through an exterior wall or an unheated addition can freeze in a hard freeze.
Booking ice maker repair in Falls Church
Parking is usually easy on the residential streets of Pimmit Hills and West Falls Church. In a small original house, clear the route from the front door to the kitchen, because the turns are tight and the refrigerator may need to come partway out.
Where to find the model number: An ice maker inside a refrigerator goes by the refrigerator's label. A stand-alone machine usually has its own inside the door or behind the lower grille. When a label has worn away, a photo of the whole appliance and its control panel still narrows it down.

Ice Maker Repair: Your Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
The filter may not be fully seated, which blocks flow, or it may be the wrong filter for the model. Air in the line after a change also slows the first fills. Reseat the filter, run several glasses through the dispenser and give it a day. If there's still no ice, we test the inlet valve and the ice maker.

The houses are mostly postwar and mostly modest. Pimmit Hills was built from 1950 as small three-bedroom, one-bath houses, and many have since been enlarged or replaced with new construction. Jefferson Village, Westlawn and Broyhill Park date from the 1940s and 1950s, and Holmes Run Acres, built between 1951 and 1958, is a neighborhood of mid-century modern houses listed as a historic district. North of I-66, Idylwood has apartment and condo buildings, Idylwood Towers among them.
