Southern Suburbs & False Bay
Ice Machine Making Small Ice Cubes
Small or hollow cubes come from scale on the evaporator, weak water flow or short freeze cycles.
Small or hollow cubes are a symptom rather than a fault in themselves, and scale on the evaporator or short freeze cycles are the usual culprits. In practice it shows up as thin cubes and hollow centres.
We attend this work from Mowbray and Observatory through Claremont, Constantia and Tokai, and right down the False Bay coast to Simon's Town. Pick your suburb below for local response detail, or book straight away and we will confirm an arrival window.
Symptoms this covers
Our method
Water side, refrigeration side, control side — in that order. Cape Town water leaves scale, and scale is behind a large share of the small-cube, low-output and long-cycle complaints we attend. Once the water side is clean and flowing we verify pressures and charge, then confirm harvest sensing and board logic before signing the job off on a full cycle.
