Ice Maker Repair in Lebanon, KY
Same-Day Ice Maker Repair for Lebanon Homeowners
An ice maker that's stopped working usually comes down to a water supply problem, a frozen or clogged fill tube, a stuck shutoff arm or optical sensor, or a failed water inlet valve. We check the whole system, not just the ice maker assembly, since the actual cause is often upstream of it.
Nugent's Appliance Repair is based right here in Lebanon, so scheduling an ice maker repair doesn't mean waiting on a company driving in from out of town. We repair built-in refrigerator ice makers and standalone units from all major manufacturers, and we also serve Danville, Bardstown, Campbellsville, and the surrounding counties. Every completed repair carries a 1-year parts and labor guarantee.
Common Problems
- No ice

Common Ice Maker Problems We Fix
Most ice maker repair calls in Lebanon fall into one of these categories. Here's what typically causes each one.
No Ice Production At All
Before assuming the ice maker itself failed, we check whether the water supply line is shut off or the fill tube is frozen solid, since both stop production completely and neither is the ice maker's fault. If the supply checks out, a faulty water inlet valve is the next most common cause.
Small, Hollow, or Cloudy Ice Cubes
Weak or oddly shaped cubes usually point to low water pressure reaching the unit or a partially clogged fill tube. On refrigerator units with a water filter, an overdue filter can restrict flow enough to cause this too.
Ice Maker Won't Stop Running or Overflows
A stuck shutoff arm, a faulty optical sensor, or a water inlet valve that won't fully close can all cause an ice maker to keep filling past capacity. This is usually a quick fix once we identify which part is stuck.
Water Leaking Underneath or Behind the Unit
Leaks are most often a cracked fill tube, a loose supply line connection, or on refrigerator units, a clogged defrost drain backing water up. We trace the leak to its source rather than just mopping up the symptom.
Ice Maker Freezing Up or Frozen Solid
A fill tube or the whole assembly freezing solid usually means low water pressure is causing the water to trickle in slowly enough to freeze before the cycle finishes, or a failing water inlet valve is dripping between cycles.
Ice Tastes or Smells Off
This is almost always an overdue water filter or ice that's sat in the bin too long without being used. We'll check the filter and recommend a replacement if it's the cause.
Serving Lebanon, KY and Marion County
Lebanon is the county seat of Marion County, with a population of around 6,500 people. A lot of the surrounding county is rural, and homes on well water or older rural water lines can run lower, less consistent water pressure than homes closer to town, which is one of the more common causes of weak ice production or a fill tube that freezes up that we run into out here.
Whether you're in town near the historic downtown business district or out in the county, we carry the parts we need for the ice maker repairs we see most often, on built-in refrigerator units and standalone ice makers alike.

Ice Maker Repair FAQ
How fast can you get to my house in Lebanon for an ice maker repair?
Since we're based in Lebanon, most ice maker repair requests here get a same-day or next-day appointment. Call before noon and we can often make it out the same day.
My ice maker is frozen solid. Can that be fixed, or do I need a new one?
Usually it can be fixed. A frozen fill tube or assembly is almost always caused by water pressure or a failing inlet valve rather than a dead ice maker, and once we correct the actual cause, the unit typically goes back to working normally.
