Ice Maker Notes for This Area
Reston's tap water comes from Fairfax Water, and like any supply it leaves minerals in fill valves and ice molds as the years go by. In a townhouse the ice maker line may run a long way from a valve in the basement or under the sink, and a kink behind the refrigerator or a clogged filter slows the flow. Hollow or undersized cubes, or ice that clumps together, usually point to low water flow. A tray that fills and never dumps points instead to the ice maker's motor or its thermostat.
Tracking down ice maker faults in townhouses and high-rise condos
In a townhouse the main-level refrigerator usually gets its water from a line run up from the utility area below. When ice production slows, we check the flow at the valve, the filter, the inlet valve screen and the ice maker module. A leaking line on the main floor shows up as a ceiling stain in the garage or family room below, so we check the fittings too.
Booking ice maker repair in Reston
For a Reston Town Center or Heron House condo, ask management about vendor insurance, elevator reservations and whether contractors must use a service entrance. In a cluster, give us the parking rules, since many have assigned spaces and a few marked visitor spots.
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. If there's more than one label, send a photo of each.
Communities we cover in Reston: Lake Anne, Reston Town Center and North Reston (20190); South Lakes, Hunters Woods, Lake Thoreau and Lake Audubon (20191). Each ZIP code has a page of its own, linked from the main Reston page.

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.
Usually below the kitchen, in a utility room or the lower-level ceiling near where the line comes up through the floor, or under the kitchen sink if it was run from there. Trace the thin line from the back of the refrigerator. Know where it is before any repair, so it can be closed quickly if a fitting leaks.

Ice Maker Repair for Owners, Renters and Landlords
Reston was planned around village centers, starting with Lake Anne, and its housing mixes cluster townhouses, condos (high-rises among them), apartments and single-family houses, from the 1960s and 1970s through new buildings near its two Silver Line stations. Heron House at Lake Anne was its first high-rise condo. In the south, townhouse clusters line the shores of Lake Thoreau and Lake Audubon.
