Small or Partial Cubes in Bryanston Ext 15
Small or Partial Cubes in Bryanston Ext 15, Johannesburg. Cubes are thin, small or only formed on part of the plate.
Urgency for this fault is normally priority. 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. 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.

Is this common on tube ice machines?

Which service will fix it?
