Our NEO works for a few cycles and then stops. What would cause that?

Start with the harvest side. A curtain switch that sticks or a harvest valve coil that is failing can let the machine run a few cycles before it hangs. We test those before the control board, since the board is the costly part and the least likely of the three.

Does EBMUD water mean we can skip deliming?

No, it only stretches the interval. Soft to moderate water still leaves a film on the evaporator over months, and harvests slow as it builds. We check the evaporator at each maintenance visit and delime when it needs it.

Do you service ice machines in Lafayette homes with a bar?

Yes. An undercounter unit in a Reliez Valley or Burton Valley home is the same machine a cafe uses, and it gets the same diagnosis and written quote. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification for any refrigerant repair. CSLB #1136642.

Commercial Ice Machine Repair in Lafayette

Commercial Ice Machine Repair for Lafayette kitchens.

Lafayette runs cooler than the Tri-Valley side of the hills, with summer afternoons in the 80s, so an ice machine here fights less heat than one in Livermore. The undercounter machines in Lafayette cafes and bars, and in the bar areas of Happy Valley and Reliez Valley homes, fail in their own ways: harvest faults, curtain switches, drains and grease on the front grille.

EBMUD water is soft to moderate, which keeps scale slower than in hard-water towns, though it never stops it. On a Manitowoc NEO that stalls mid-harvest, we test the small parts before the expensive one: the harvest valve coil, then the curtain switch, then the board. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and you approve a written quote before we begin.

Common repairs we handle.

NEO undercounter stuck waiting after harvest. The ice has dropped, but the curtain switch never signals the board, so the machine sits and waits. A switch out of alignment or a curtain that no longer swings freely is the usual cause. We test the switch, reseat or replace it and run a full cycle.
Harvest valve coil burned out. Without a working harvest valve, the evaporator never warms enough to release the ice, and the sheet keeps thickening. We measure the coil, replace it if it has opened and check the valve body before the panel goes back on.
Front grille pulling in kitchen grease. In a cafe, the NEO's front-breathing condenser draws air from beside the grill or the espresso bar, and grease binds dust to the coil. We degrease the coil, wash the air filter and set a cleaning interval that matches the room.
Koolaire cuber with a weak water pump. A pump that runs weak leaves dry patches on the evaporator and makes cloudy, uneven cubes. We check the pump's flow and draw, replace it if it is failing and clean the distribution tube while the head is open.
