Ice Machine Repair questions.
Why is my ice machine making cloudy or hollow cubes?
Cloudy or undersized cubes nearly always point to mineral scale on the evaporator plate or a restricted water supply. Orange County water is hard, so scale builds fast, and the fix is usually a full descale and a filter change rather than a replacement part.
How often should an ice machine be cleaned?
Every six months for a residential built-in unit, and more often on hard water. Scale and biofilm cause most of the ice machine failures we see, and both are preventable with routine cleaning.
Which ice machines do you service?
Built-in and undercounter ice machines from Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking and KitchenAid, plus the ice makers inside Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Miele, Viking, Bosch, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool and Maytag refrigerators.
My ice tastes strange. Is that a repair?
Usually it is a cleaning issue rather than a broken part. An old filter, biofilm in the water circuit or an unsealed bin all pass flavors into the ice. A sanitation service resolves it in a single visit.
