Ice machine repair in Pasadena.

Old Pasadena's restaurants and bars run ice machines in historic buildings whose drains and wiring date from another era, and a Craftsman house with a remodeled bar may add an undercounter unit that relies on a drain pump.

What Pasadena does
to an ice machine.

Pasadena has its own public health department, whose Environmental Health Services Division regulates and inspects retail food facilities in the city.

At the Pasadena NOAA station, 1991–2020 normals come to roughly 74 afternoons a year of 90°F or more and 9 or 10 above 100°F, and the city's all-time peak of 115°F came in September.

Electric service comes from the city-run Pasadena Water and Power, and Santa Ana winds here can bring heat, high winds and power outages together.

The Rose Bowl seats 89,702 and has hosted five Super Bowls, while the Rose Parade draws crowds that camp out on New Year's Eve.

Older housing stock

Old commercial buildings turned into bars and restaurants often have a single aging supply serving the whole back of house, and an ice machine on it fills its trough short whenever the dish area draws water, which shows as small or partial sheets of cubes.

Mixed housing

A landlord who inherited an ice machine with a building may have no manual and no service record, so the visit starts by reading the model plate, finding the maker's cleaning schedule and writing down what has been done.

Family houses

Suburban offices, schools, clinics and youth sports clubs run their own ice machines, and a clinic's or a coach's machine that stops is a same-week problem, since ice for injuries and for drinks is needed every day.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Pasadena.

In Pasadena as anywhere, these four call for the ice machine to be shut down and left that way for our visit: water spreading from it or its drain across a walkway or toward an outlet, a burning or hot electrical smell, a breaker that trips when it starts, or a hiss or gas smell at a machine charged with flammable R-290.

All 17 problems
A stainless modular ice machine head sitting on a wide stainless ice bin in a tiled restaurant back room, a sheet of clear water spreading from under the ice machine bin across the red quarry tile toward a wall outlet with a plugged-in cord, a few loose ice cubes melting in the puddle.

Ice Machine Leaking Water Across the Floor or Under the Bin

6 causes, cheapest first

 A stainless undercounter ice machine built in under a dark wooden bar counter, its door closed and its lower front grille showing a faint gray haze drifting out into the dim bar, bottles on the back shelf out of focus, the empty bar stools pushed in. Clear the area first

Burning or Hot Electrical Smell From an Ice Machine

6 causes, cheapest first

 A gray electrical panel on a painted wall in a restaurant back corridor, one breaker switched to the middle tripped position, and through the open doorway beyond it a stainless modular ice machine on its bin standing dark and silent, a plastic ice scoop resting on the bin lid. Clear the area first

Ice Machine Tripping the Breaker or Blowing a Fuse

6 causes, cheapest first

 An empty bar storeroom with its back door propped wide open to a bright alley, a stainless self-contained ice machine standing against the far wall with its bin door closed, cases of glassware on steel shelving, daylight and fresh air pouring in. Clear the area first
