The perfect companion to a refreshing beverage on a hot day, ice is one of the last things you want to run out of in a restaurant setting. If your commercial ice machine won’t turn on at all, then this certainly warrants some immediate restaurant ice machine repair.
However, even if your ice machine still technically works, your machine might indicate a clear need for restaurant ice machine repair services.
- Bad Tasting and or Smelling Ice. Customers are often served drinks before anything else, and a drink containing foul tasting or bad smelling ice can discourage customers from ordering food. This may be due to poor sanitation practices, or it may be a problem with the ice machine itself.
- Water Leaks. One of the more visible signs that you may need restaurant ice machine repair, a pool of water may appear on the exterior of the machine. On the other hand, larger than usual or misshapen ice cubes could point to an interior leak. Either way, it’s best to get this checked out by one of our professionals before the leak worsens.
- Insufficient Ice Cube Output. If your machine starts to run out of ice faster than it should, then it’s likely time to get it checked out. Unless your business gets a sudden influx of customers the machine just can’t handle, then it’s probable that an unexplained lack of ice cubes is a good reason to look into restaurant ice machine repair.
- Ice Machine is Short Cycling. A short cycling ice machine will quickly turn off and on throughout the day and waste a lot of energy doing so. If you don’t notice the cycling at first, you’ll definitely notice it later when the energy uptick shows up on your energy bill.
