About Ice Machine Repair

Commercial ice machines are complex systems that require regular service to maintain ice quality, production capacity, and food safety. Our technicians repair all types of commercial ice makers including modular ice machines, undercounter units, countertop machines, and combination ice and water dispensers from brands like Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Scotsman, and Ice-O-Matic. Ice machine issues range from reduced ice production and undersized cubes to complete failures and water leaks. Many ice machine problems stem from water quality and mineral buildup — our technicians clean, descale, and sanitize machines as part of every service call to restore full performance and maintain health code compliance.

Ice Machine Repair FAQs

How often should commercial ice machines be cleaned?
Commercial ice machines should be professionally cleaned and sanitized every 6 months at minimum, or more frequently in hard water areas. The FDA Food Code requires ice machines to be clean and sanitized to prevent mold, slime, and bacterial growth. Between professional cleanings, staff should clean the exterior, ice bin, and scoop holder regularly. Many operators who skip cleaning face costly repairs from scale buildup and potential health code violations.
My combi oven's steam function isn't working. What's wrong?
Combi oven steam issues are commonly caused by: clogged steam generator or boiler scale buildup, failed heating element in the steam generator, water inlet valve problems, or steam nozzle blockages. Mineral scale from hard water is the most common culprit and can be prevented with regular descaling. A combi oven specialist should inspect the steam system as improper repairs can damage the boiler.
