Small or Partial Cubes in Cedar Hills
Small or Partial Cubes in Cedar Hills, 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. 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: check sump level and float setting, then clear spray bars and distributors, then measure pump flow.
