Do you also look at the True and Traulsen reach-ins next to the ice machine?

Yes. Commercial refrigeration is part of the same work, so the reach-ins can go on the same visit if you tell us when you book. Each piece gets its own line in the written quote.

We have a Hoshizaki at home in Almaden Valley. Do you service residential installs?

Yes. A commercial undercounter cuber in a home bar is the same machine as one behind a restaurant bar, and we diagnose it the same way: production, the water side, harvest parts, then controls. Our license is CSLB #1136642.

How often should a busy downtown bar machine be delimed?

Every six months is a good starting point, and sooner if the plate shows scale at the first cleaning. We set the interval by what we find on the evaporator and write the date inside the panel, along with the filter change.

Commercial Ice Machine Repair in San Jose

Commercial Ice Machine Repair for San Jose kitchens.

The restaurant rows around San Pedro Square and the SoFA district put Hoshizaki cubers next to True and Traulsen reach-ins, and a bar there leans hard on its ice machine on a weekend night. We service those Hoshizaki KM cubers along with Manitowoc Indigo NXT heads and Scotsman cubers. Out in Willow Glen, Cambrian and Almaden Valley, the commercial-grade ice we work on is more often an undercounter cuber built into a home bar.

A machine that cannot keep up is not always a broken machine. Some were sized for a quieter week than the bar now does. Our technician measures output against the spec sheet and compares it with what the bar pulls on a busy night, so you know if the answer is a repair, a cleaning or more capacity. You pay a $99 diagnostic, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and the quote is in writing.

Common repairs we handle.

Bar machine that runs dry on weekend nights. If a clean machine meets its rated output and still runs out, the fix is storage or capacity, not parts. If it falls short of the spec, we look at scale, the condenser and the water valve first. Either way you get the measurements, not a guess.
Bin control that lets ice overflow. The bin control shuts the machine off when the bin is full. When it fails, ice spills over the top, or the machine stops early with a half-empty bin. We test the control and its mounting, replace it if it is out of spec, and cycle the machine to a full bin.
Refrigerant leak on an older cuber. A machine that short-cycles or never gets cold enough may be low on charge. We find the leak before adding anything, repair it, then recover, evacuate and weigh in the charge. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification, and the quote comes before the system is opened.
Scotsman cuber making thin cubes or skipping harvest. Thin or cloudy cubes, or a harvest that never drops, usually mean the machine is scaled up, short on water flow, or running on a failing water valve. We delime, check flow at the distributor and test the valve before anything else.
