We have no affiliation with Hoshizaki and are not one of its service centers. A ice maker still covered by the Hoshizaki warranty belongs with Hoshizaki first. Once it's out of coverage, give us the model number and the symptom when you book so we can look into parts ahead of time.
How an Ice Maker Repair Visit Works

You hear what failed and what the repair costs, then decide. Nothing starts without your OK.
Repair and Test
The part goes in, the appliance runs a cycle, and you see that it works before we leave.
How Hoshizaki builds its ice makers
A Hoshizaki KM cuber makes its crescent cubes by spraying water up into inverted cells on a stainless evaporator plate. When a thermistor on the evaporator outlet reaches the right temperature, the board starts harvest: hot gas warms the plate while incoming water runs over its back to help release the cubes. A float switch in the water tank tells the board when there's enough water to freeze, and a bin control stops production when the bin is full. Scale on the evaporator and spray tubes, a float switch that sticks, or a weak water pump are the common reasons for slow or poor ice. Flakers and cubelet models work differently, freezing ice in a cylinder and pushing it out with an auger.
Parts that tend to fail on Hoshizaki ice makers
- Scale on evaporator and spray tubes
- Float switch sticking
- Water pump weak or failed
- Thermistor out of range
- Bin control not signaling full

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.
The control board signals faults with beeps and a light, and the pattern points to what it detected, such as a freeze or harvest problem. Note the pattern and mention it when you book. We use it as a starting point and then test the parts.
At least as often as the manual says, and more often in a hot, busy or dusty spot. Scale and slime cut production and strain parts. A proper cleaning covers the water system, evaporator, float switch and bin.
