Small or Partial Cubes in Bedfordview
Small or Partial Cubes in Bedfordview, East Rand. Cubes are thin, small or only formed on part of the plate.
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 installed base here runs from single undercounter bar machines through to modular hotel plant and flake counters, so the first job is establishing exactly what is installed and how hard it is worked. Filtration sized on measured hardness and throughput is the cheapest protection available for an ice machine's water circuit and pump.
We diagnose in order of likelihood rather than replacing parts speculatively: check sump level and float setting, then clear spray bars and distributors, then measure pump flow.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What causes small or partial cubes?
The usual causes are low water level in the sump, blocked spray bar sections, weak water pump, short freeze cycle from control drift. Which one applies is settled on site by measurement, not guesswork.
How quickly can you attend in Bedfordview?
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?
Check sump level and float setting; Clear spray bars and distributors; Measure pump flow; Time the freeze cycle; Read pressures and superheat.
Is this common on gourmet & ball ice machines?
Clarity is a water-quality outcome, so filtration and regular descaling matter more on gourmet plant than on any other type. On gourmet & ball ice machines in Bedfordview we see this fault regularly, usually alongside overdue descaling.
Which service will fix it?
Ice Machine Maintenance Contracts normally resolves it. Standard visits are two to four hours per machine on a fixed schedule.
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.
