# Monogram ice maker drain and pump service cost

### Why this is so common here

Bar installations built years ago with a marginal fall, plus a climate that melts ice faster than the design assumed. The two together fill a bin that was meant to stay empty.

### What gets checked

The line for blockage and kinks, the fall it was installed with, and where there is one, the pump and its check valve.

### And then the bin

Sanitized, along with the chute and the line, because that is what the smell was.

What moves this figure

from $155 for the drain path and the pump

Line, fall and check valve all inspected

Bin sanitized as part of the visit

Gravity or pump

A gravity drain that has lost its fall and a pump that has stopped are different repairs.

How long it has been standing

Water that has been there for weeks means the sanitizing is a real part of the job rather than a formality.

Whether the run can be reached

Some drain lines are accessible and some are behind cabinetry, and that is where the figure moves.

Whether the part is a stocked item

Monogram parts are lower-volume than mass-market equivalents, so some arrive next day and some are ordered. We say which before you commit, because it decides whether this is one visit or two.

What the installation costs in time

A freestanding appliance is pulled out; a built-in one is not. Panels, trim and sometimes a neighboring cabinet come off in an order and go back the same way, and that time is real work rather than padding.

### Is meltwater in the bin normal?

Yes. An ice bin is not a freezer. A level that does not go down is not normal.

### There is a smell from the bar.

Almost always this. The drain is the repair and the sanitizing is what removes the smell.
