It carries a 4.7 rating, against 4.6 across all 147 listed nationwide. It carries 167 reviews. 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.
The listed business states that it is licensed and states that it carries insurance. Its profile also states a Better Business Bureau accreditation. It does not advertise round-the-clock cover, so call early in the day and ask directly. 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.

What Rhode Island technicians find most often
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.
Try these before you book a Rhode Island technician
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.

What ice maker repair costs in Rhode Island
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Rhode Island 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.

How many ice maker repair pros are listed in Rhode Island?
1 business listed in Rhode Island names ice maker repair among the work it does — 13% of the 8 businesses this directory holds for the state, 45th of the 45 states with any, out of 147 listed nationwide — 1% of them. It works out of Providence. The directory is a sample of the market, not a register of every company trading in Rhode Island.
Which ice maker repair companies are rated highest in Rhode Island?
CJS Statewide Appliance Repair in Rumford at 4.7 on 167 reviews. Ratings and review counts come from the businesses' own public profiles and are not verified here.
How much does ice maker repair cost in Rhode Island?
Expect $150–$400 for a common ice maker repair, parts and labor together, on top of a $50–$100 diagnostic fee that most companies credit against the work if you go ahead. Those are national bands, not Rhode Island quotes: labor rates track local wages and drive time, so a dense metro sits at the top of each range and a rural call at the bottom, while the part itself costs about the same anywhere. Because only 1 ice maker business is listed in Rhode Island, get one written estimate here and a second from a general appliance technician nearby.
Which Rhode Island city has the most ice maker repair companies?
Providence. It is the only Rhode Island city with an index page that currently holds an ice maker specialist.
Are ice maker repair technicians licensed in Rhode Island?
The single ice maker business listed here states that it is licensed, and states that it carries insurance. It also shows a Better Business Bureau accreditation. Licensing for appliance repair is set state by state and sometimes by city or county, so the reliable check is the paperwork: ask which license the company works under, get the number, and confirm it with the issuing authority. Two requirements are national rather than local — sealed refrigerant work needs federal EPA Section 608 certification, and gas work needs a technician qualified for gas appliances.
Can I get same-day or emergency ice maker repair in Rhode Island?
The one listed here does not advertise round-the-clock emergency cover. Same-day appointments for common faults are still routine in the trade. Call early in the day and ask directly — a technician who already has the part on the van can often fit you in.
Which ice maker brands do Rhode Island repair pros service?
The ice maker pros listed in Rhode Island name 8 distinct brands between them. The most widely covered are Bosch (1), Frigidaire (1), GE (1), KitchenAid (1), LG (1), Maytag (1). In-fridge icemakers are largely model-specific assemblies, so the technician needs your refrigerator's model number, not the icemaker's. Undercounter machines from Sub-Zero, U-Line, Marvel and Scotsman need a technician who explicitly services that category.
How long have Rhode Island ice maker repair companies been in business?
It has been trading since 2009 — 17 years. Use it as one signal among several: what matters more is whether the technician has opened your platform before, and whether the warranty term is written on the invoice.
Should I repair or replace my ice maker?
Apply the 50% rule. A new ice maker averages $400 in the US and lasts about 8 years, so a repair quote over roughly $200 on a unit past 5 years old is usually money better spent on a replacement. Below that line, with life left on the clock, repair almost always wins. Ask for parts and labor as separate figures — it is normally the part, not the hours, that pushes a quote past the threshold.
What should I have ready before calling a ice maker technician in Rhode Island?
Whether the mould fills with water at all — this splits the diagnosis in half. Whether the fridge is plumbed to a filtered line, and when the filter was last changed. Whether the ice maker arm or switch is in the on position (it gets knocked off constantly). Having those three answers ready is what turns a diagnose-then-return-visit into a single trip.
