A call here is more likely to involve a freight elevator than a driveway. Downtown and the Strip have filled up with apartments over the past two decades, many of them inside buildings that started life as offices, warehouses or department stores, so the appliances are newer than the walls and the plumbing runs a long way. Up the hill, the Hill District and Uptown are rowhouse and walk-up country, where the questions are steps, parking and older service lines.
Two things worth knowing about Maxx Ice before we arrive: MaxxIce supplies ice machines and bins to restaurants, bars and hotels; and for a MaxxIce machine, clean water and a clean condenser do more for its lifespan than anything else.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Maxx Ice: platform and parts
Maxx Ice belongs to the Commercial family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around Downtown, Strip District & Uptown: 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.
Maxx Ice equipment in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown kitchens and bars
A Maxx Ice unit that's down is costing you money by the hour. We try to reach commercial calls around Downtown, Strip District & Uptown 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.
Where Maxx Ice appliances sit in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown
Stacked washer-dryers whose exhaust has to travel through a building before it reaches outside air, 24-inch dishwashers in galley kitchens, counter-depth refrigerators boxed in tight, and electric or induction cooking in the converted buildings. In the Strip, restaurants and food shops add reach-in coolers, prep tables and ice machines.
No matter the brand, a Maxx Ice appliance in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown 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 a closet in the unit, usually as a stacked or 24-inch pair, or a shared laundry room on another floor of the building.
Frozen lines and cold-weather leaks
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.
Gas ranges, dryers and safety
Natural gas is common for ranges, dryers and water heaters in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown, 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.

Maxx Ice in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
That depends on how the week is booked across Downtown, Strip District & Uptown and the neighboring areas. Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you. If a refrigerator or freezer is failing with food inside, say so; it affects how we plan.
Not honestly. The same symptom can come from a small part or a major one, so the technician finds the cause at your Downtown, Strip District & Uptown address first and then gives you a price. Nothing is done until you agree, and if the repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
48 of them across Downtown, Strip District & Uptown, from everyday names like Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire and Maytag to built-in and pro-style makers such as Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Miele and Viking, plus commercial equipment from True, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc and others. The brands page lists them all.
Our first choice is the Maxx Ice part that matches your model number. If that part has been discontinued, an equivalent may exist, and we'll tell you it's an equivalent before it goes in. Maxx Ice shares a parts bin with the other Commercial brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to get, even for older units.
That comes down to the part and the age. Pumps, valves, switches, elements, belts and fan motors are nearly always worth replacing. A dead control board or a sealed-system failure on an older machine is a harder call, and if a new one makes more sense we'll say so plainly.
