Hoshizaki Repair Questions
Want to talk it through?
Describe the symptom and your neighborhood, and we will tell you when a technician can get there.
We repair Hoshizaki refrigerator, freezer and ice maker units. Each one has its own page below with the faults we see most often.
The faults we see most on Hoshizaki refrigerators are blocked defrost drains causing water inside the cabinet, defrost heater, thermostat or control faults leaving the evaporator iced, and evaporator and condenser fan motor failures. The symptom alone does not identify the part, so we diagnose on site before giving a price.
Defrost heater, thermostat or control faults leaving the evaporator iced heads the list, followed by blocked defrost drains causing water inside the cabinet and ice maker and water dispenser faults. Each has its own test, and we run them in order from cheapest to most expensive.
The faults we see most on Hoshizaki ice makers are biofilm and slime in the water system, inlet valve faults causing small or hollow ice, and bin sensors stopping or not stopping production. Hoshizaki cubers use a stainless steel evaporator, and regular cleaning with the cleaner Hoshizaki specifies keeps harvest reliable.
Contact Hoshizaki first. Repairs covered by a factory warranty go through the service network the manufacturer appoints, and paying an outside company can complicate a claim. Once that warranty has ended, or for a problem it does not cover, we can take the job.

A few things are worth knowing about Hoshizaki before a technician arrives. A Hoshizaki making less ice, thinner cubes or cloudy ice is usually asking for descaling and sanitizing to the manufacturer's procedure. Hoshizaki also builds commercial reach-ins and prep tables, which fail mostly through dirty condensers, worn gaskets and fan motors. Air-cooled ice machines in hot, cramped back rooms struggle in a humid summer, so room temperature and condenser airflow are checked along with the machine.
The Hoshizaki appliances we repair: refrigerator, freezer, ice maker. Not every manufacturer makes every kind of appliance, and that list reflects what Hoshizaki actually builds.
Where Hoshizaki equipment usually breaks down
For Hoshizaki refrigerators, start with temperature sensors and thermistors reading incorrectly; the next most likely cause is evaporator and condenser fan motor failures.
Hoshizaki freezers usually come down to start relay and overload failures stopping the compressor, or ice maker and water dispenser faults.
For Hoshizaki ice makers, start with water pump and distribution tube blockages; the next most likely cause is inlet valve faults causing small or hollow ice.
