Our bin is full at noon and empty by nine. Is the machine failing?

Maybe not. Output drops as the room warms, and Los Gatos evenings stay warm in summer. We time a batch, compare it with the spec for your conditions and tell you whether it needs a repair, a cleaning or a bigger setup for your nights.

Can you clean the ice machine at a downtown Los Gatos bar before we open?

Yes. A full clean takes the machine out of service for a while, so we book it for the morning and leave time for a fresh batch before your first service. Stock a spare bin with ice first if you open early.

Do you work across 95030, 95032 and 95033, including Monte Sereno?

Yes, all three Los Gatos ZIPs, Monte Sereno and the hill neighborhoods included. Any refrigerant repair is done under ADRIUM's EPA 608 Universal certification. CSLB #1136642.

Commercial Ice Machine Repair in Los Gatos

Commercial Ice Machine Repair for Los Gatos kitchens.

Los Gatos summers have a quirk: the canyon sides hold heat into the evening, so the room around an ice machine is still warm when a restaurant or bar is busiest. An air-cooled machine makes less ice as the room warms, and a bin that looked full at lunch runs low by the late rush. The machine then has only the cooler overnight hours to refill it.

Before anything gets replaced, we measure output. We weigh a timed batch, compare it with the spec sheet at your room and water temperatures, and find where the shortfall comes from: the condenser, the water side, scale, or a machine and bin that are simply too small for the night. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and the written quote comes first.

Common repairs we handle.

Output below spec on warm evenings. Production tables drop as room and water temperatures rise. We measure your actual output against the table for those conditions, clean the condenser and filter, and tell you whether the machine is falling short or simply working at its rated limit.
Bin too small for the evening's pace. A healthy machine can still run out if the bin holds less ice than the evening uses. We compare the bin size, the machine's daily output and your peak use, and explain the choices if the setup is undersized.
Indigo NXT ice bridge set too thick. A thick bridge between cubes lengthens each freeze and slows the harvest, costing ice every cycle. We clean the ice thickness probe, reset the bridge to Manitowoc's spec and time a few cycles to confirm the gain.
Bin control shutting the machine off early. If the bin control reads full when the bin is not, the machine idles with room to spare. A stuck actuator or a control out of adjustment is the common cause. We free or replace it and watch the machine restart as ice is scooped out.
