Why does my ice maker produce small or hollow ice cubes?

Small or hollow ice cubes usually indicate low water pressure or a partially clogged water inlet valve. Mineral deposits can clog the small screens in water inlet valves over time. We clean or replace the valve and flush the water line.

My ice maker stopped working — what are the most common causes?

The most common causes are a failed water inlet valve, a broken ice maker module, a clogged water filter, or a freezer temperature that's too warm (above 10°F). We carry parts for Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, and most major brands.

Why does my ice taste or smell bad?

Off-tasting ice is usually caused by a dirty or old water filter, a contaminated water line, or mold in the ice maker bin. Replace your water filter every 6 months, sanitize the ice bin, and flush the water line. If the issue persists, the filter head or water line may need replacement.

Why Is Your Sharp Ice Maker Scale Buildup on Evaporator Plate?

New York City mineral scale has built up on the evaporator plate where ice forms, reducing ice production and causing poor ice quality.

Common Causes in Pittsburgh

1New York City water hardness of 200–300 ppm depositing scale rapidly on the cold evaporator surface
2Water filter overdue for replacement
3Evaporator never descaled since installation
4Scale insulating the evaporator and increasing freeze cycle time
5Scale causing rough surface on evaporator that ice bonds to — harvest failure

Pittsburgh technicians arrive stocked with parts for same-day completion.

How We Fix It

Our technician will descale the evaporator plate using ice machine cleaner and recommend a 6-month descaling schedule for New York City's water hardness.
