Ice Machine Repair — FAQs
How often should a commercial ice machine be cleaned?
Every 6 months minimum, more often in hard-water or heavy-use environments. Regular cleaning prevents scale buildup and keeps ice quality high.
What brands do you service?
Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, Follett, and other common commercial brands.
My ice is cloudy or off-tasting — what's wrong?
Usually scale buildup on the evaporator, a dirty water filter, or a bacteria/biofilm issue in the bin. A deep clean fixes most of it.
Can you service the ice machine outside business hours?
Yes — restaurants and bars often prefer evenings or early mornings so ice production isn't interrupted during service.
