Counted from the 5 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Louisiana holds 5 listed ice maker repair businesses, out of 147 nationwide. That ranks 5th of the 45 states with any, behind Virginia on 6 and Texas on 11. They are 5 of the 17 businesses listed in Louisiana — 29% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 147 listed nationwide, and 5 of the 5 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 588 reviews, the largest single tally being 198 on Jefferson Appliance Inc in New Orleans. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Jefferson Appliance Inc in New Orleans (198 reviews, 4.7), Jefferson Appliance Service Inc in Harahan (130 reviews, 4.5) and Solar Refrigeration & Appliance Service in Metairie (100 reviews, 4.5). By rating it is Jefferson Appliance Inc at 4.7 on 198 reviews, Professional Appliance Repair at 4.6 on 90 reviews and Mark's Appliance Repair at 4.6 on 70 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 5 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 4 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 2 state a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 2 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 2 advertise same-day service. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
5 of them publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1974, and the median across those that say is 40 years. New Orleans holds the most at 3 — 60% of the group — followed by Baton Rouge on 1, across 3 Louisiana cities with an index page. Between them they name 17 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

Beyond ice maker repair, these 5 businesses also list ice machine cleaning (1). Worth knowing before the visit — a second job on the same call-out is far cheaper than a second call-out.
Not counted above
This is a real Louisiana company whose record carries contact details but no list of what it repairs. It does not state ice maker repair, so it is not counted in the 5 above and is not listed here as servicing one. Asking takes one phone call, which beats starting the search again.

The 5 most common ice maker faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.
No ice at all, mould is dry
TechnicianNo water arriving: a closed shut-off, a kinked supply line, a frozen fill tube, or a failed water inlet valve.
Step-by-step: Ice Maker Not Making Ice→Cubes are small, hollow, or only partly formed
Homeowner fixLow water pressure, a clogged filter overdue for replacement, or a partially blocked fill tube.
Step-by-step: Ice Maker Slow or Making Small Cubes→Ice smells or tastes stale
Homeowner fixAn overdue water filter, or ice that has sat long enough to absorb freezer odours. Ice is porous and picks up everything around it.
Mould fills with water but never ejects
TechnicianThe icemaker module, the mould thermostat, or the ejector motor. On most units the module is replaced as one assembly.
Step-by-step: Ice Maker Not Making Ice→Ice cubes fused into one solid block in the bin
TechnicianSlow usage plus a freezer running slightly warm, or a leaking fill valve dribbling water into the bin between cycles.
8 published ice maker guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$100 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.
Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.
Replace the water filter on schedule
Every 6 monthsPrevents: Small hollow cubes, slow fills, and a strained inlet valve.
Empty the bin fully and let it refill
MonthlyPrevents: Fused blocks of ice and stale-tasting cubes.
Check the supply line for kinks behind the fridge
After any movePrevents: The most common no-ice call after a kitchen reshuffle.
Counts are Louisiana businesses servicing that appliance, out of the 17 listed statewide. A dash opens the nationwide page instead.
Every state with a listed ice maker specialist, most first. Louisiana sits 5th of 45 on 5.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Louisiana sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.
| Repair | Parts + labor |
|---|---|
| Thaw a frozen fill tube and clear the supplyOften the entire fix on a no-ice call. | $80–$160 |
| Water filter replacement and pressure checkCheapest cause of small or hollow cubes. | $60–$140 |
| Water inlet valveThe single most common ice-maker part failure. | $150–$300 |
| Icemaker module or ejector assemblyUsually supplied and replaced as one unit. | $200–$400 |
| Mould thermostat or bin-level sensorSymptom is a machine that fills but never harvests. | $150–$300 |
| Complete in-fridge icemaker assemblyOften cheaper than chasing individual parts on an older unit. | $250–$450 |
5–10 years for an icemaker inside a refrigerator — noticeably shorter than the fridge around it. Standalone and undercounter machines reach 10–15 with proper descaling. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.
Blue Book
A quote above $200 on a ice maker past 5 years old is usually better spent on a replacement.
