Ice Maker Repairacross South Florida.

On 600 and 700-series Sub-Zero built-ins the pivot bushings dry out and bind the ice maker module, the optic emitter and receiver get dusty, or the water inlet valve solenoid sticks. We carry the Sub-Zero pivot kit on the truck for the common pre-2017 models. Newer 7000-series units use a different harvest module that we order as needed. Most calls finish on the first visit.

Yes. Scotsman, U-Line, Manitowoc, Hoshizaki residential, and Marvel stand-alone ice makers are all in our regular service mix. These are senior-tech calls because the sealed-system work follows EPA refrigerant handling protocols. We hold EPA Section 608 Universal certification and document refrigerant recovery on every system that opens.

Cloudy ice usually means the water filter is overdue (most units restrict flow and quality when the filter is past life) or the dispenser line has mineral buildup. Bad-tasting ice is almost always filter-related or a stagnant supply line. We change filters as part of a service call and flush the supply line on units that have been sitting unused. Filter replacement alone runs $45 to $85.

A healthy refrigerator ice maker harvests every 90 to 180 minutes and produces 2 to 4 pounds of ice in 24 hours. Stand-alone Sub-Zero, Scotsman, and U-Line units harvest every 15 to 30 minutes and produce 25 to 60 pounds per day. Slow harvest cycles point at low water pressure, dirty optics, or a failing harvest motor. We measure on a $59 diagnostic.

Three common causes: cracked water-supply line behind the unit (the most common), failed water inlet valve dribbling past its shutoff, or a clogged drain line on stand-alone units. Stand-alone ice makers drain by gravity so any low spot or kink stops the drain and water backs up. We dye-test and replace the failed part on a service call.

On refrigerator-mounted ice makers (Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE), module replacement runs $220 to $360 all-in for the part and labor — the $59 diagnostic is free once you approve the repair. Sub-Zero pivot kits are similar pricing. Stand-alone Scotsman and U-Line head replacements run $480 to $920 depending on harvest motor and control board condition.

A flat $59 covers the visit and a full factory-level diagnosis — and it is credited back in full the moment you approve the repair. You pay it only if you choose not to proceed. There is no premium surcharge for Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, or Thermador work; the diagnosis is the same disciplined process on every unit.

We hold priority dispatch windows for luxury kitchens across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. Call early and we can usually schedule a white-glove visit the same day; for built-in and integrated units we match you with the senior technician trained on your platform rather than simply sending the next available van.

Yes. Berne Appliance Repair is fully licensed and insured in the state of Florida, and we carry the general liability coverage that gated communities, condo associations, and high-rise buildings require. We provide a certificate of insurance to your management company on request, before the visit.

Our work centers on the high-end and built-in market — Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Gaggenau, La Cornue, JennAir Luxury, Bosch Benchmark, GE Monogram, Liebherr, and EuroCave. Our technicians are factory-trained on these platforms, and we also service everyday brands such as LG, Samsung, and KitchenAid when they share a luxury kitchen.

A 90-day warranty on labor and on every part we install. If the same fault returns within 90 days, we come back at no charge. On premium platforms we source OEM parts through the factory channel, and the part number goes on your invoice so the repair is fully documented.
