Make sure that your ice machine is serviced regularly to prevent the build-up of chemicals and minerals in your machine due to the constant flow of water through your machine. This build up will cause wear and tear on the ice maker machine parts that will result in the machine breaking down or malfunctioning. If your machine does breakdown, make sure that you use a qualified technician to perform the repairs on your machine. Also ensure that any parts that need to be replaced are of the same model and make as your machine. If these parts are not available it may mean that your ice maker is out-dated and it may be time to replace the machine with a newer model.

Make sure that your distributor has the correct part for ice machines.

Have you ever noticed that goods have the propensity to break just as the guarantee expires?  And most of the time it is cheaper to just replace the product than have it repaired or replace the broken parts.  Ice machines are notorious for breaking down.  Finding, purchasing or replacing a part for ice machine can be time consuming and difficult.  In older models that have been discontinued it may nigh on impossible to acquire the necessary replacement part for ice machine.  Thus it is important to find out if parts are still available for your ice machine prior to the arrival of a repairman.  Get a quote for the parts in question and the labour before going ahead with repairs.  Compare the quote to newer models available to ensure that buying a new ice machine will not be more cost effective than repairing an ageing ice machine.

Over 70% of ice machine break downs can be attributed to water damages.  Attaching an ice machine filter, which is a part for ice machine, can reduce water damage minimizing the necessity for repairs.  Always purchase additional parts with your new products that could save you time and money in the future.  When a part has been replaced on your ice machine, make sure that there is a guarantee on the new part and how long the guarantee will last.  Also ensure that the labour is guaranteed so that you will not have to pay for labour again should the new part malfunction.

The replacement part should also match the make and model of the ice machine as not all machines use the same parts.  Your ice machine is required to produce ice twenty four hours a day seven days a week making wear and tear leading to breakdown an inevitability.  The best thing you can do is be prepared for such an eventuality.  Know where the manufacturer is located and that the business is in good standing.  If the manufacturer goes out of business new parts will no longer be available for your ice machine.

Find a reliable ice machine distributor.

When you need peace of mind and the assurance that your ice machine will keep delivering both product and profit then you need to source your ice machine from a reliable and professional ice machine distributor. A recognised ice machine distributor will make sure that you are getting machines that are globally recognized as reliable brands and that the supplies, such as parts will be quickly available to make sure that your machine can operate at peak capacity at all times. The availability of genuine parts is extremely important as repairs using parts which are not supplied by the original manufacturer will, in most cases void the warranty of the ice making machine. Sourcing the ice machine from a manufacturer approved ice machine distributor also means that the distributor will either have on board a technician who is approved to work on your ice machine or will be able to recommend a third party supplier who can have a technician to your premises in the shortest time possible. If you would like an ice machine installed in your home then a manufacturer approved ice machine distributor will also be able to assist you in fitting the ice machine into a cabinet or under a bar in a way that will be both aesthetically pleasing and unobtrusive. An ice machine distributor will also be able to advise you on which unit will best suit your requirements. Outputs vary by machine make and model and the units that are suitable for home use will not be able to handle the high outputs required from a commercial model. In the case of commercial models that supply ice for display units the specification are extremely rigid as these units are usually required to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The same applies to those units that are required for bar or restaurant service.

So if profit is important to your business (and it always should be) then you would be well advised to visit only respected and trusted ice machine distributors.

You relationship with your ice machine distributor is probably one of the most important business relationships that you will ever have. Ice is used in almost every aspect of the food provision business and it has to be available at all times. Even if you need the ice just for relaxing summer days around the pool you’ll want a machine that can deliver every single time.
