Route 8 climbs out of the Pine Creek valley at Etna and runs north through Glenshaw and Allison Park toward the Turnpike, and almost everything in this corner of the North Hills hangs off it. Shaler's streets fold over steep ridges and stream hollows, while Hampton opens into wooded subdivisions around Hartwood Acres and the Depreciation Lands Museum.
Two things worth knowing about Scotsman before we arrive: Scotsman makes nugget, flake and cube ice machines, each with its own evaporator and harvest design; and how often a Scotsman needs service depends mostly on the water, and regular descaling does the most to extend its life.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Scotsman: platform and parts
Scotsman belongs to the Commercial family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around Glenshaw, Allison Park & Hampton: 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.
Scotsman equipment in Glenshaw, Allison Park & Hampton kitchens and bars
A Scotsman unit that's down is costing you money by the hour. We try to reach commercial calls around Glenshaw, Allison Park & Hampton 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 Scotsman appliances sit in Glenshaw, Allison Park & Hampton
Split-level and ranch kitchens with gas or electric ranges, washers and dryers on a basement slab, a second refrigerator or chest freezer in an attached garage, and newer Hampton kitchens with counter-depth refrigerators, slide-in ranges and built-in microwaves.
No matter the brand, a Scotsman appliance in Glenshaw, Allison Park & Hampton 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, often a walk-out or a lower level of a split-level, with some newer Hampton houses moving it to a first-floor room off the garage.
Dryer vents in older houses
Try this: run the dryer on its hottest setting for ten minutes and hold your hand at the outside hood. A strong, warm flow is what you want. A weak puff means something along the run is blocked.
In winter, the moist exhaust can freeze at the hood and hold the flap shut. A clogged vent is a fire hazard as well as a nuisance, so a full cleaning every so often is money well spent.
Frozen lines and cold-weather leaks
Freeze-thaw winters in Glenshaw, Allison Park & Hampton are hard on water lines that run through unheated spaces: an ice-maker line on an outside wall, a washer's supply in a cold garage, a dishwasher line in a crawl space. When they freeze, the appliance simply stops filling; when they thaw, a split line can leak.
If an ice maker or washer stops getting water on a very cold day, check for a frozen line before assuming a failed valve. Once it thaws, look along the line for drips.

The owner or manager approves by phone or email while whoever is home lets us in, and afterwards both get the same short account of what was wrong and what was done. If a building needs contractor paperwork first, send us its requirements when you book.
Give us the brand, the model number and a line about what's wrong, along with any code exactly as it shows. A photo of the rating label is better still; it's the surest way to bring the right parts to Glenshaw, Allison Park & Hampton on the first trip.
Our first choice is the Scotsman 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. Scotsman 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.
