Ice Machine Overflowing in Hurlingham Ext
Ice Machine Overflowing in Hurlingham Ext, Johannesburg. Water overflows the sump or bin during operation.
Urgency for this fault is normally same-day. Call-outs are run from the central Johannesburg base, which keeps attendance windows short for kitchens in the northern and central suburbs.
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. Water in this part of Gauteng is moderately hard, so scale on evaporator plates, spray bars and float valves is the single most common reason output drifts below the plate rating.
We diagnose in order of likelihood rather than replacing parts speculatively: test inlet valve shut-off with power removed, then clean and test float or probe, then clear overflow and drain lines.
