Hard water is the usual enemy of ice makers around Encinitas & Rancho Santa Fe: mineral scale narrows the fill tube and coats the mold until production drops off. On units near the coast, corrosion on the condenser adds to it.
Estate properties often have gated entries and several refrigeration units, so tell us which appliance and where.

Diagnosis, estimates and the repair-or-replace call
On a standalone ice machine, the technician checks water supply and pressure, inspects the evaporator and distribution path for scale, watches a full freeze and harvest cycle, and reads any fault codes. Refrigerant pressures are checked only after the simpler causes are ruled out. You receive a written estimate before work begins, and parts and labor are covered for 90 and 30 days respectively. If your unit is new enough to be under manufacturer warranty, contact the maker first, because we are independent and not their authorized servicer.
Typical service life, as a general industry range, is roughly 8 to 12 years for a well-maintained undercounter clear-ice machine and less for nugget machines that are not descaled regularly. Portable units often last only a few years. A descale, pump, valve, sensor or fan repair is usually worthwhile on a built-in unit, since replacing it means matching the cabinet opening and drain. A failed compressor or an evaporator damaged by heavy scale is when replacement deserves a hard look.
