How we repair a Scotsman ice machine that freezes solid on the evaporator
Our Cresta call-out for freezing up begins with harvest cycle, sensor and charge diagnosis. Ice machines fail fastest on Highveld borehole and hard municipal water, so we check water quality, filtration and scale on every visit. Quotes are given in writing before we touch a component, and all work carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
- Water inlet valve, pump and float diagnostics
- Descaling and full sanitising of the water circuit
- Harvest cycle, thermostat and probe calibration
- Sealed system: leak trace, vacuum and accurate recharge
- Auger, gearbox and dispenser motor repairs
Around Cresta the work splits between retail and residential. Shops and restaurants near the centre cannot trade without cooling, so we prioritise commercial breakdowns here and carry the common contactors, capacitors and fan motors on the van.
