Cloudy or Hollow Ice Cubes in Glenvista
Cloudy or Hollow Ice Cubes in Glenvista, East Rand. Cubes are white, soft, hollow or misshapen.
Urgency for this fault is normally priority. Ekurhuleni visits are grouped by area so restaurant and factory ice plant can be attended on the same run.
The ice plant here is mostly estate clubhouses, guest houses, small restaurants and private bars, so the work is weighted towards undercounter and small modular machines. Where a site is on borehole or stored water, hardness and sediment shorten descaling intervals sharply, which is why we take a hardness reading before setting a maintenance schedule.
We diagnose in order of likelihood rather than replacing parts speculatively: descale water circuit and inspect spray bars, then measure pump flow and current, then check purge cycle operation.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What causes cloudy or hollow ice cubes?
The usual causes are scale in the sump, pump and spray bars, blocked spray bar holes reducing water distribution, water circuit not purging dissolved solids, weak water pump flow. Which one applies is settled on site by measurement, not guesswork.
How quickly can you attend in Glenvista?
Priority attendance applies to this fault. Ekurhuleni visits are grouped by area so restaurant and factory ice plant can be attended on the same run. Call 069 268 0988 for the next available slot.
How is it diagnosed?
Descale water circuit and inspect spray bars; Measure pump flow and current; Check purge cycle operation; Test water hardness; Compare cube weight before and after descale.
Is this common on undercounter ice machines?
The most common fault on undercounter machines is not a fault at all: enclosed cabinetry starving the condenser of air. On undercounter ice machines in Glenvista we see this fault regularly, usually alongside overdue descaling.
Which service will fix it?
Emergency Ice Machine Repairs normally resolves it. Same-day where an attendance slot is available, otherwise first slot the following morning.
Can we keep operating in the meantime?
Sometimes — where the fault is a water-side problem the machine can often be run on reduced output until parts arrive. Where a compressor or leak is involved we advise buying in bagged ice while the repair is completed.
