Real Repairs by Our Technicians
Commercial Ice Machine Service Across Greater Houston
A commercial ice machine that stops producing ice during a Houston summer is a customer-service emergency. Max Appliance Service repairs modular, undercounter and self-contained ice machines for restaurants, bars, hotels, coffee shops and convenience stores across the Greater Houston area.
We work on cube, half-cube, nugget and flake machines from Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, Follett, Kold-Draft, U-Line, Marvel and residential-grade units. Common repairs include water inlet valves, water pumps, condenser fans, evaporator cleaning, harvest assist, controllers, sensors and full descales.
Most calls are resolved in a single visit. If we recommend a deep cleaning or descale on top of the repair, we explain why upfront and roll it into the same trip so you are back in production faster.

Common Commercial Ice Machine Problems We Fix
Recognize the symptom? Call us and we will tell you what is wrong before sending a truck.
Machine runs but no ice drops
Harvest cycle stuck, hot-gas valve failure, harvest sensor or curtain switch. Common and usually fixable in one visit.
Low ice production
Scaled-up evaporator, restricted water supply, dirty condenser coil or low refrigerant. Cleaning often restores 100% of output.
Ice is hollow, soft or cloudy
Water quality issue, restricted water flow or evaporator scaling. We test water and clean the right components.
Water leaking from the unit
Failed inlet valve, cracked water pan, blocked drain line or split tubing. We trace the source instead of guessing.
Bin full but machine keeps running
Bin thermostat or bin sensor failure. Risks flooding the bin and damaging the machine.
Noisy or vibrating
Worn fan bearings, loose panel, scaled water pump or refrigerant noise. We diagnose at the source.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you also do preventive cleaning?+
Yes. Most ice machine failures in Houston start with hard-water scale. We offer descale and deep-clean service as a stand-alone visit or bundled with a repair.
Can you repair the ice bin too?+
Yes. We service the entire unit — bin sensors, bin thermostats, door hinges, drain lines and the head unit on modular machines.
My filter is overdue — does that matter?+
Yes. Houston water is hard. A neglected filter scales the evaporator and the water valve and can take the machine out of warranty. We can install a new filter on the same visit.
How fast can you come?+
Same-day for calls received before 2pm in the Houston service area; otherwise first thing the next morning.
Do you work on rental machines?+
If you own the equipment, yes. If the machine is leased and the lease includes service, your provider should handle it under the contract.
