My Hoshizaki cubelet machine is making a grinding noise. Should I keep running it?

Grinding often means bearing wear or heavy scale inside the freezing cylinder. Running it that way can damage the auger, the cylinder and the gear motor. Shut it off and schedule a check soon.

Our Marshville ice maker stopped working after a new well pump was installed. Could that be related?

It can be. Well work often stirs up sediment that rushes into the refrigerator filter and inlet valve. Replace the filter first and see if ice production recovers. If not, the valve screen may be clogged and need cleaning or replacement.

Can you fix the ice dispenser in a Wingate rental fridge between tenants?

Yes, and turnover is a good time to do it. We test the auger motor, door flap and switch, check the ice maker, and report the findings to the owner or manager with a price before work.

Hoshizaki Ice Makers: What We Check First

A Hoshizaki crescent-cube machine works differently from most competitors. Instead of a flat grid of cells, ice forms on vertical stainless evaporator plates as water cascades over them. When the evaporator thermistor reaches the harvest point, hot gas warms the plates and fresh water flows behind them to release the crescents into the bin. A float switch controls refilling. Cubelet and flake models use an auger turning inside a refrigerated cylinder instead.

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Hoshizaki ice maker repair guide.

Well Water, Filters and Busy Dispensers

An ice maker is often the first appliance to complain about well water. Sediment and iron load the refrigerator filter faster than its rated life, and a clogged filter or valve screen makes thin, hollow or misshapen cubes. Minerals can also build up where the fill tube enters the freezer, letting it freeze shut and stopping production entirely.

In Wingate rentals and busy Monroe households, the dispenser takes a beating. Ice clumps in the bin when the dispenser is not used for a while, and the auger stalls trying to push it. Empty and break up the bin, and confirm the ice maker's arm or switch is in the on position.

Change the refrigerator filter, and if you are on a well, do it more often than the label suggests. When ice is still slow, our technician checks water pressure and the inlet valve, thaws and inspects the fill tube, and tests the ice maker and dispenser motor. We price the repair before replacing parts.
