Tube plant is production equipment: downtime is measured in lost tonnes, so planned maintenance is far cheaper than breakdown attendance. On tube ice machines in Springs we see this fault regularly, usually alongside overdue descaling.

Emergency Ice Machine Repairs normally resolves it. Same-day where an attendance slot is available, otherwise first slot the following morning.

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.
