Is an undercounter commercial ice machine in a house serviced like one in a bar?

Yes. The parts, the cleaning and the diagnosis are the same. What differs is the install: a residential cabinet, a long drain run, a supply valve behind a panel. We work carefully around finished cabinetry and put floor protection down before the unit moves.

Our pool house gets cold in winter. Should the ice machine be left running?

If the room drops below the machine's rated minimum, it is better to shut it down, drain the water system and dry the bin. Before it goes back into use we clean and sanitize it and run a test batch. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification if the refrigeration side needs work.

Do you handle ice machines at schools and clubs as well as homes?

Yes. A school kitchen or a club bar gets the same diagnosis and the same written quote before any work starts. CSLB #1136642.

Commercial Ice Machine Repair in Hillsborough

Commercial Ice Machine Repair for Hillsborough kitchens.

Hillsborough has no commercial district. Commercial ice machines still turn up here, in houses: an undercounter Hoshizaki or Manitowoc NEO in a butler pantry, a pool house bar or a staff kitchen on an estate lot. They are the same machines a restaurant uses, and they need the same care, in rooms that were never planned around one.

In the 1920s and 30s Tudors and Spanish revivals, the harder part can be the plumbing around the machine: a drain that has to reach an old line, a supply valve buried in a cabinet, a pantry with no air path for the condenser. We check the install along with the machine. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and every repair is quoted in writing first.

Common repairs we handle.

Gravity drain struggling in an older house. An undercounter unit drains by gravity, and in an older house the path to the drain line can be long, flat or partly blocked. Melt water pools in the bin and the ice sits in it. We clear the line, check the fall and the air gap, and add a drain pump where gravity cannot manage it.
Cold pool house slowing the harvest. Every ice machine lists a minimum room temperature on its spec sheet. An unheated pool house on a cold, foggy night can fall below it, and harvests drag or the machine stops. We check the room against the spec, test the machine once it warms, and suggest heat or a winter shutdown plan.
Inlet valve buzzing but barely filling. Low supply pressure or a clogged inlet screen leaves the valve open with too little water getting through, and the fill runs out of time. In an older house we check the pressure at the machine and the shutoff valve before replacing the inlet valve itself.
Bin control letting cubes spill over. When the bin control stops sensing a full bin, an undercounter unit keeps dropping ice until the door will not close and cubes land on the floor. We test and adjust the control, replace it if it has failed and watch the machine stop with the bin full.
