Ice Machine Repairs normally resolves it. Most single-fault repairs are completed in one visit where the part is van stock.

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.
