# Thermador ice makers

### Almost always the water, not the cold

An ice maker sitting in a freezer that holds temperature has one thing the freezer does not: a water supply. That is where these calls end far more often than at the module itself.

### What actually goes wrong

- **No ice at all.** The supply line, the inlet valve or the filter, in that order. A freezer holding temperature with no ice in it is a water problem far more often than a cold one.
- **Hollow, small or cloudy cubes.** Partial water flow — a filter at the end of its life, a line kinked behind the cabinet, or pressure too low to fill the mold in the time the cycle allows.
- **Ice with a taste or a smell.** Almost always the filter or an open box in the freezer beside it, and almost never the module.
- **Ice that stopped after work in the kitchen.** A shut-off valve left closed behind a cabinet is a real and common ending to this call.

### There is no standalone ice machine on this brand

The ice maker is a module inside a freezer column, fed by a water line run through the cabinetry. That matters for two reasons: the freezer has to be right before the ice can be, and reaching the line usually means reaching behind joinery. If the freezer is also drifting, say so — it changes the order we work in.
