Commercial Ice Machine Repair

An ice machine that has stopped working hits a commercial kitchen fast. Bars run out of ice during dinner service. Restaurants have to buy bagged ice at retail prices. Healthcare facilities lose access to a clinical supply they depend on. The repair work we do is focused on getting your machine back to producing ice as fast as possible, and on fixing the root cause rather than masking the symptom.

What Repair Looks Like

A technician arrives with a service vehicle stocked with the most common Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, and Scotsman parts. After hearing the symptoms and inspecting the unit, they run a diagnostic that may include checking water flow, water quality, refrigeration pressures, electrical readings, and any fault codes the machine has logged. You get a clear quote before any work begins, and most repairs are completed in the same visit.
