Hoshizaki Ice Maker Service for Houses, Condos and Rentals
Hoshizaki has no connection to us, and we aren't one of its authorized repair centers. If your ice maker is still under Hoshizaki's factory warranty, start with Hoshizaki. After that coverage ends, send us the model number and what it's doing when you book; that lets us research parts before the visit.

Hoshizaki ice maker design and construction
Crescent cubes form upside down. Inside a KM unit, water is pumped through spray tubes and up into the cells of a stainless evaporator plate, building ice layer by layer. When a thermistor on the refrigerant outlet reads cold enough, the board switches to harvest: a hot-gas valve warms the plate, and fresh water flows across its back to loosen the cubes. Before each freeze, a float switch in the reservoir confirms there's enough water, and a bin control shuts production off once the bin is full. When production falls, look first at scale on the plate and spray tubes, a float switch gummed up with mineral or slime, or a worn pump. Flakers and cubelet machines are built differently, freezing ice inside a cylinder and driving it out with an auger.

Hoshizaki Ice Maker Repair FAQ
Short answers to what people usually ask before a visit. Anything not covered can go in the notes when you book.
Didn't see your question?
Tell us the brand, model number and the symptom. A few things can be ruled out from a description; most faults need testing on site.
The board signals what it detected with a set number of beeps and a flashing light, for faults like an overlong freeze or a failed harvest. Count the beeps and tell us when you call. We treat that code as a lead and still test the part it points to.
No less often than the manual calls for, and more often in a hot back room or a high-volume bar. Mineral and slime cut output and wear out pumps and switches. A full cleaning covers the water circuit, the plate, the float switch and the bin.
