One Oxon Hill job shown below was a Whirlpool whose water dispenser leaked constantly into the drip tray. The fix was a new water inlet valve. A valve that doesn't close fully lets water seep through all the time, and it shows up at the dispenser, in the ice maker, or as ice in the fill tube.
Two requests further down came from Alexandria. A Fisher & Paykel ice maker broke after the ice drawer was forced shut, and a GE stopped keeping food cold after its freezer quit. A drawer that won't close usually has ice jammed behind it; take the bin out and clear the ice before pushing.
Oxon Hill is served by WSSC, which treats water at two plants with very different hardness. Its 2023 tap report shows an average of 140 mg/L at the Potomac plant and 65 at the Patuxent plant. Harder water scales an ice maker's inlet valve faster.
Newer condos near National Harbor tend to have counter-depth refrigerators in tight openings. Keep the top and the toe grille clear so they can breathe.

Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. The part decides the rest: a relay, fan or thermostat sits at the affordable end, while sealed-system work costs more. Every Oxon Hill, MD visit starts with diagnosis and a firm quote before any repair - and same-day appointments are often available when food is at risk. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
Common calls include not cooling, freezing food, ice maker not working, water leaking, loud compressor or fan noise and frost buildup. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
Most often the inlet valve, though a damaged dispenser line can do it too. In the Oxon Hill Whirlpool job we list, a new inlet valve fixed it.
Don't force it. Take out the bin and look for ice jammed behind it or a cube stuck in the chute. Forcing the drawer can break the ice maker, which is what happened in a Fisher & Paykel request we list.
A few basics are safe: confirm the unit has power, make sure the doors close and seal fully, and clean the condenser coils if they are dusty. Beyond that, refrigerant lines and electrical components are best left to a technician - probing inside can turn a small repair into a larger one.
