Sub-Zero Repair in Puyallup

City of Puyallup · springs and wells

Most of Puyallup’s tap water rises from two natural springs. Five deep wells supply the rest, and an intertie with Tacoma adds a very small share.

The city’s water service area is not drawn along its limits: some Puyallup homes are served by another provider, and some outside the city are on its system. The name on the bill settles which checks come first.

What we see here

  1. The city calls its water relatively soft, so mineral scale goes to the back of the queue on a slow ice maker, behind the filter, the valve and the fill.
  2. Puyallup's utility puts white or cloudy tap water down to tiny trapped air bubbles and calls it harmless and usually temporary. A cloudy glass from the dispenser is not, on its own, a refrigerator fault.
  3. Water only runs to the ice maker once the freezer is back at its set temperature and the ice maker calls for it, so after a door has been left ajar the next cubes can take hours.

On your side of the Shut-Off Line

  1. Let a cloudy glass from the dispenser stand a minute; the city puts white water down to trapped air, and it clears.
  2. Ask whether a door was left ajar recently, because water only reaches the ice maker once the freezer is back at temperature.
  3. Read the provider's name on your bill: the city's water service area does not follow the city limits.

Then the five that apply anywhere, in order: switch, filter, supply valve, fill tube, arm and bin.

  • Upper zone was holding five degrees off its setpoint while the lower zone was fine. Thermistor, not the board. He talked me through the readings before he ordered anything.

  • Fridge side had crept to 51 degrees overnight with a full freezer riding on it. Stalled evaporator fan. He had the motor on the van and it was back at 38 before he left.

  • Unit was loud enough to hear from the bedroom at night. Compressor mounts had perished and the fan shroud was rubbing. He replaced both and it is quiet enough to forget about.
