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 walk-in cooler door gaskets be replaced?
Walk-in door gaskets typically last 2-4 years and should be inspected every 6 months. Signs of failing gaskets: visible tears or cracks, frost buildup near the door frame, condensation on the door frame, noticeably warmer temperatures near the door, or the door not staying closed. A failing gasket forces the compressor to work harder, increasing energy costs and reducing equipment life.
How much does commercial kitchen hood cleaning cost?
Hood cleaning costs range from $300 to $1,500+ depending on system size, grease accumulation, and accessibility. Small single-hood systems run $300-$500; larger multi-hood systems or restaurants with heavy cooking can run $700-$1,500. Access issues (long duct runs, high roofs) add cost. Budget for cleaning as a fixed operating expense — it's far less expensive than a grease fire, insurance claims, or health violations.
