How We Repair Your Hoshizaki Ice Flaker
Ice makers and ice machines rely on a clean water supply, a working fill valve and accurate temperature sensing to make and harvest ice.
Hoshizaki Ice Flaker models often use model-specific control boards, sensors and diagnostic modes. We look up your exact model number so the right part goes in the first time.
Common Ice Flaker Problems We Fix
Ice clumps or the dispenser jams
Ice melting and refreezing because of a temperature problem, or a worn auger motor.
No ice at all
A closed or kinked water line, a frozen fill tube, a clogged filter, a failed water inlet valve or a bad ice maker module.
Small, hollow or cloudy cubes
Low water pressure, a clogged filter or a valve that is starting to fail.
Ice tastes or smells bad
An old filter, scale and slime in the water system, or ice sitting too long in the bin.
Leaking water
A cracked fill tube, a loose supply line or a valve that does not shut off fully.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Make sure the shut-off arm or switch is in the "on" position.
- Check that the water supply valve is fully open and the line is not kinked.
- Replace the water filter if it is older than six months.
- Look for ice blocking the fill tube at the back of the ice maker.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Hoshizaki Ice Flaker Repair cost in Florida?

Can you repair my ice flaker today?
Same-day visits depend on technician availability in Florida. Call (844) 442-1500 early in the day for the best chance of a same-day or next-day appointment.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Parts and labor are covered by our 90-day warranty. If the same problem comes back within that time, we return and fix it.
Do you work on all Hoshizaki models?
We repair current and older Hoshizaki models. Some discontinued parts can be hard to find; if that is the case for your model, we tell you before you pay for a repair.
Should I repair or replace my ice flaker?
A ice flaker typically lasts about 5 to 10 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
