Where ice makers sit in Cook County: older housing stock, designed kitchens and bars, mixed housing. [All of Chicago](https://icemakerrepair.center/locations/chicagoland/) ### Older housing stock Older houses often feed the ice maker through a saddle valve clamped onto a copper pipe, a fitting plumbers no longer recommend, and its rubber seal hardens with age until a slow drip at the clamp soaks the subfloor behind the unit. ### Designed kitchens and bars Where the undercounter ice maker's drain was taken to a hidden standpipe to keep the cabinetry clean, the trap and the air gap are easy to forget, and a smell from the bin or a slow drain after a remodel often comes from a hose sagging behind the panel. ### Mixed housing Mixed streets hold door ice makers with electronic self-tests next to freezer trays with a plain wire arm and a mechanical timer, and the older kind is often the easier one to put right, since its mold heater and water valve are still sold as separate parts. ## Where we go in Cook County. 20 cities and neighborhoods across Cook County, part of Chicago, 10 of them with a page on what that place does to an ice maker.
