Do you repair commercial ice machines in Los Angeles?

Symptoms we fix
- Production well below the machine's rated output
- Ice cloudy, soft or off-tasting
- Machine freezing up mid-harvest
- Water leaking around the base or bin
- Slime or scale visible inside the machine
- Unit shutting down on a safety limit
- Bin thermostat not detecting the ice level
Common causes and what they mean
| Cause | What it means |
|---|---|
| Scale buildup on the evaporator | Southern California water is hard. Scale is the number one cause of production loss and needs proper descaling, not just rinsing. |
| Dirty condenser or restricted airflow | Heat cannot escape, so the harvest cycle lengthens and output falls. |
| Failed water inlet valve or pump | Insufficient water reaches the evaporator plate. |
| Harvest solenoid or hot gas valve fault | Ice forms but never releases. |
| Biofilm contamination | A food-safety issue as much as a mechanical one. We clean and sanitise to manufacturer spec. |

Before you book: have the brand and model number ready if you can find it — usually on a sticker inside the door, behind a drawer or on the rear panel. It lets us bring the right part on the first visit rather than the second.
