How Our Pricing Works

Los Angeles hard water — 300–400 mg/L TDS — is the primary root cause of ice maker problems in LA. Mineral scale builds up on water inlet valve screens, freezes over the ice tray fill tube, and deposits on ice maker components faster than manufacturer maintenance schedules assume. Many ice maker calls in LA are descaling and cleaning issues with no replacement part needed.

We always assess hard water impact before diagnosing component failure. A refrigerator ice maker that stopped making ice may simply have a frozen fill tube from mineral deposit buildup — a cleaning fix, not a replacement. A standalone undercounter unit making small cloudy cubes is almost always a water filtration and scale issue.

💧 LA hard water — 300–400 mg/L TDS

Los Angeles tap water is among the hardest in the US. Ice maker mineral scale builds up faster than anywhere. Small cloudy ice cubes are almost always a scale or filter issue — not a component failure. We check for hard water impact before ordering any ice maker parts.
