BEFORE
AFTER

The importance of ongoing maintenance.

“Before and afters” always tell a story, as shown in one of our ice machines at a handmade pasta shop in Chicago. The dust you see is flour, which floats in the air and gets sucked into the machine. This accumulation makes the machine less efficient, which could lead to lower or no ice production. A clean ice machine is also a more hygienic machine, which is why it’s so important your machines are cleaned regularly.

The power of combining leasing and maintenance.

Choosing an all-in-one ice equipment leasing and maintenance plan with Empire Cooler has definite advantages. You’ll save time and money and add value to your business by ensuring that you always have the ice you need to operate—no matter what it takes.

Common Commercial Ice Machine Repairs

When your ice machine stops working, it’s important to get it repaired so your business can continue to run smoothly. Here’s how to know if your ice machine needs repair:

  • Your commercial ice machine is not making
    any ice or enough ice.
  • Your machine is loud.
  • Your machine is not cooling.

Common Causes of Ice Maker Not Working

  • Water fill tubes are blocked
  • Water inlet valve is blocked or frozen
  • The water filter is dirty or clogged
  • The heating element in the ice machine is broken

  • Not enough breathing room
