Fixed-schedule maintenance contracts with priority breakdown response, filter changes and hygiene records for venues that cannot trade without ice. In Inanda this is sandton prime work on planned maintenance systems, attended within about 45 minutes of dispatch.We work across every major brand installed in Inanda, and diagnostics start from the plated design data rather than a guess.Codes are read from the board rather than guessed at, then traced to the actual sensor, valve or drive fault behind them.Equestrian estate character; access via gated roads with visitor logging. Ice Machine Repairs bookings in Inanda are logged against Block 4 so we can allow for power availability on site.

Refrigerant data
| Gas | Classification | Suction pressure | Discharge pressure | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R134a | HFC (A1) | 80-140 kPa at -5 degrees C evaporating | 900-1 200 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Wine cellars, display cabinets, medium-temperature commercial refrigeration and some heat pumps. |
| R404A | HFC blend (near-azeotropic) | 40-60 kPa (approx. 2-4 bar) | 1500-1900 kPa | Older commercial ice machines, cube makers, ice bins and blast chillers |
| R448A | HFO/HFC blend (low GWP) | 50-75 kPa | 1600-2000 kPa | Modern commercial ice machines, cube and flake units, coldroom retrofits |
Common questions
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
Is a compressor replacement guaranteed?
Yes. Replacements are done with a system flush and new drier, and both part and workmanship are warranted, provided the original cause of failure is corrected.
My ice machine runs but makes no ice, is it worth repairing?
Usually yes. The four common causes (water inlet valve, water pump, scaled evaporator and a stalled harvest cycle) are all repairable at a fraction of replacement cost. We quote in writing after the diagnostic and tell you honestly when a machine is past economic repair.
Why is my ice cloudy or melting too fast?
Cloudy, soft ice means the freeze cycle is being cut short or the water is carrying too many dissolved solids. We test hardness and TDS on site, fit the right filtration, descale the plate and re-time the cycle so cubes freeze clear and hard.
