Our Samsung fridge stopped cooling overnight. Called Max Appliance and they sent someone out same day. The technician was professional, explained everything clearly, and had us back up and running in under 2 hours. Pricing was fair and transparent. Highly recommend!

Washer was making a horrible noise. The tech arrived on time, diagnosed the issue quickly (worn bearing), and completed the repair efficiently. Very knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Will definitely use them again.

Had them fix our dishwasher last year and they did such a great job we called them again for our fridge. Always reliable, professional, and fair pricing. They're our go-to for all appliance repairs now.

Very responsive and professional. Our freezer stopped working and they came out within hours. The technician was knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. Repair was done quickly and hasn't had any issues since.

Refinery schedules run around the clock here, and a working ice maker isn't optional when you're getting home after a 12-hour shift in 95-degree heat. The older Whirlpool and GE side-by-sides sitting in the brick ranches off Palmer Highway in 77590 take serious punishment every summer — fill valves clog with calcium deposits, water lines freeze during overnight AC cycling, and ice production drops to nothing. That Samsung french-door you picked up five years ago isn't immune either. We cover all of Texas City; call (832) 366-1414 and we can usually have a tech out the same day.

Most of Texas City's housing stock went up between 1950 and 1975 — compact brick ranches built for refinery and port workers in the blocks east of Texas Avenue and around 6th Avenue North in zip 77591. Hard municipal water in Galveston County is the hidden enemy in these homes. Calcium scale builds up inside ice maker assemblies and water inlet valves for years before anyone notices. A Kenmore or Frigidaire running 15-plus years in this water is almost certainly carrying mineral buildup somewhere in the fill tube or valve seat. Texas City's bay-adjacent humidity makes the electronic components age faster too.

Common Ice Maker Issues in Texas City

Hard Water Choking the Water Inlet Valve in Older Homes

Galveston County tap water runs hard, and the first place calcium and magnesium deposits collect is inside the ice maker's water inlet valve. Once that valve is half-choked, water flow drops enough that you start getting hollow cubes — then tiny misshapen ice — then nothing at all. Kenmore refrigerators in the 1960s brick ranches near 6th Avenue North in 77590 are the most common call we get for this exact failure. A new inlet valve and a supply line flush typically fix it on the first visit.

Frozen Fill Tube Shutting Down Samsung Ice Makers Overnight

Texas City homes blast AC hard from May through October. When the air conditioning cycles off overnight, freezer temps can overshoot — and the fill tube feeding the ice maker freezes solid. Samsung french-door models are especially prone to this; the fill tube routes close to the evaporator coil with almost no insulation buffer between them. The ice maker sensor reads zero water flow and shuts down production. Repositioning the tube a few inches away from the coil, or dialing back the freezer set-point, is the fix that actually holds.

Optical Sensor Failures on GE Profile and Frigidaire Units

GE Profile and Frigidaire refrigerators use a small optical sensor near the ice bin to signal the control board when it's full. Southeast Texas humidity — especially in homes on the bay side of Texas City near the industrial waterfront — corrodes or fogs that sensor lens within a few years. It reads "bin full" constantly, even when the bin is bone dry, and ice production stops completely. Cleaning or replacing just the sensor module, not the whole ice maker assembly, usually brings the machine back at a fraction of the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get to Texas City for ice maker repair?

Techs route out of League City and La Marque — Texas City is a straight shot down I-45 or Highway 146. Typical on-site time is 2 hours or less from when you call. Afternoon, evening, and weekend slots are available most weeks. Dial (832) 366-1414 to get on the schedule or book same-day service online.

Do you repair Kenmore and Whirlpool ice makers in Texas City?

Those two are the most common brands we see in this area. Kenmore water inlet valve replacements, Whirlpool ice maker assembly resets, GE fill tube repairs and control board diagnostics — standard calls for us. Frigidaire and Samsung units too. Parts for most of these brands stay stocked on the truck so we're not making two trips.

What does an ice maker repair typically cost in Texas City?

Most repairs fall between $95 and $200 for parts and labor combined. A water inlet valve swap on a Whirlpool or Frigidaire lands on the lower end. Control board replacements run higher — but we diagnose on the first visit and quote before touching anything. Same-day and emergency service available; call (832) 366-1414 for open slots.
