Commercial Ice Machine Repair in Miami

When the ice machine stops, a bar loses drinks, a restaurant loses its iced tea and seafood display, and a hotel floor runs out by noon. In Miami heat an ice machine works harder than almost anywhere in the country, and it shows. We repair and maintain commercial ice machines across Miami-Dade and Broward, 24 hours a day. Call 786-905-5632.

Problems we fix every week

• No ice or very little ice. Usually a dirty condenser, a failing water inlet valve, a bad thermistor or a refrigerant problem.
• Thin, cloudy or hollow cubes. Often low water flow, scale on the evaporator, or a harvest cycle that is out of adjustment.
• Machine runs but the bin never fills. Common when the unit sits in a hot back room with no airflow around it.
• Water on the floor. Clogged drains, cracked distribution tubes or a stuck float.
• Ice that smells or tastes off, or slime in the bin. The machine needs a full sanitize and the filter needs replacing.
• Error codes and constant resets. We read the code, find the cause and fix it, not just clear it.

Why Miami is hard on ice machines

Air-cooled ice machines pull heat out of the room. In a kitchen that is already 90 degrees, the condenser cannot shed heat fast enough, production drops and the compressor runs hot. Add Miami’s hard water and the evaporator scales up quickly. Most of the calls we get could have been prevented by moving the machine, cleaning the condenser or descaling on a schedule. We will tell you which one applies to you.

Repair or replace?

We look at age, how often it has failed and what the repair involves. A valve, sensor or pump is normally worth fixing. A failed compressor on an old machine often is not. You get a straight answer before any work starts.

Maintenance plans for restaurants and bars

Ice is food under health code. A regular cleaning and descaling schedule keeps you inspection-ready, keeps production up and catches small problems before a Friday night breakdown. We can service your ice machine on the same visit as your walk-in cooler and your AC, so you have one company for all of it.

How often should a commercial ice machine be cleaned?
