Ice-O-Matic Appliance Repair in Coraopolis, Moon & McKees Rocks, PA

Ice-O-Matic belongs to the Commercial family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around Coraopolis, Moon & McKees Rocks: parts are easier to track down, and the ways these machines tend to fail are well understood.

Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.

A Ice-O-Matic unit that's down is costing you money by the hour. We try to reach commercial calls around Coraopolis, Moon & McKees Rocks outside the busy part of the day, and we ask for the model and serial number over the phone so the likeliest parts are already with us.

Refrigeration and ice come with food-safety obligations, so you get a note of what we found and what we changed. If the failure traces back to maintenance, such as a grease-coated condenser, a torn gasket or an ice machine that needs descaling, we'll tell you, since that's what brings on the next breakdown.

Basement washers and dryers in the older borough houses, second refrigerators and chest freezers in garages and basements across the townships, gas ranges in the river towns, and apartment and townhouse appliances near the university and the airport.

No matter the brand, an Ice-O-Matic appliance in Coraopolis, Moon & McKees Rocks is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in the basement in the Coraopolis and McKees Rocks houses, and a basement or a first-floor laundry room near the garage in the Moon, Kennedy and Robinson subdivisions.

Water damage from appliances usually starts at a hookup rather than inside the machine: a rubber washer hose that finally burst, a fridge line pinched when the refrigerator was shoved back, or a line that froze and split.

Braided stainless hoses, a shutoff valve you can reach without moving the appliance, and a drip pan under an upstairs washer are cheap and worth having. If water appears, turn off the supply and unplug the machine before anything else.

Natural gas is common for ranges, dryers and water heaters in Coraopolis, Moon & McKees Rocks, and older houses often have gas piping that has been extended and reconnected several times. A gas appliance that won't light usually has an igniter, a sensor or dirty burner ports at fault, not a gas problem.

With a strong gas smell, leave switches alone, get out of the house and call the gas utility from outdoors. We can look at the appliance once it's safe, and after any gas work, each fitting we opened gets leak-tested.
