Is Your Hoshizaki Ice Machine Beeping?

Hoshizaki-commercial-ice-machines-Kansas-City

Hoshizaki has long been one of the most trusted and reliable names in commercial ice equipment and at Capital Equipment, we’ve rented, sold, leased and serviced hundreds of their ice machines over the years. Founded in 1947 in Japan and expanding to the United States in 1981, Hoshizaki is built for the busiest kitchens, hospitals, schools, and businesses that rely on always having quality ice in their bins when they need it. But just like any other commercial equipment, ice machines need routine service and maintenance otherwise they end up either not working correctly or not producing ice at all.

Hoshizaki Ice Machine Error Codes, Service, and Repair in Kansas City

With each ice machine manufacturer having their own alert system/error code style, Hoshizaki’s is someone unique in that the error codes can be heard through a series of beeping. The number of error code beeps can help pinpoint the issue so that factory trained technicians like those at Capital Equipment can diagnose and correct the issue(s)

One Beep-high temperature safety warning

As a safety precaution, Hoshizaki ice machines has a built in function that helps protect the equipment from being damaged due to high heat temperatures. This could be caused by ambient air temperature heating the water too high before it enters into the ice machine.

Two Beeps-long harvest cycle

When ice is ejected from the mold, it’s called a harvest cycle and Hoshizaki ice machines monitor that amount of times it takes to harvest. If the machine senses multiple harvest cycles taking 20 minutes or more, you will get this 2 beep alert.

Three Beeps-long freeze cycle

An ice machine’s free cycle begins after the ice molds have bee filled with water. A long freeze cycle alert could mean that the float switch is closed, the compressor is weak, or the water inlet valve is open or leaking.

Four or Five Beeps-circuit issues on mechanical bin sensor

This alert is mostly for older Hoshizaki models that have a mechanical bin control. 4 beeps signal a short circuit and 5 beeps represent an open circuit on the bin control.

Six or Seven Beeps- incorrect voltage supply

Having the correct voltage is crucial to Hoshizaki ice machines to operate correctly. 6 beeps signal that the voltage is too low whereas 7 beeps indicate that the voltage is too high. Either scenario can be due to a wiring problem or a voltage surge.

Eight Beeps-de-energized gear motor relay

8 beeps represent that the gear motor relay is de-energize which can result in the ice machine to shut down the compressor which essentials halts ice production. This can sometimes be fixed by simply turning the ice machine on and off which will manually reset the error code.

Nine Beeps-bin control check

9 beeps signals that the ice bin is nearly full which automatically shuts the ice machine’s ice production down. This error code can be reset by turning the machine on and off again but make sure to empty some of the ice out of of the bin otherwise you will likely get the same error code again.

Making Sure Your Ice Machines Are Safe

what-makes-good-ice-Capital-Equipment-Kansas-City

commercial-ice-makers-machines-Kansas-City-Overland-Park

Capital Equipment can help with expertly trained and certified technicians that can help get your ice machines and business back up and running.

Commercial Ice Machine Service, Repair and Maintenance in Kansas City

If your business has been shut down for some time, the Kansas City Water Department has released some guidelines for reopening and making sure that your water is safe and clean which by extension will pertain to commercial ice machines as well. According to the Kansas City Water Department website (in conjunction with guidance from the CDC (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention), business owners need to clear out trapped water from their lines using the following guidelines:

  1. Make sure all faucets in the building flow to a drain. If there are any water filters, remove or bypass them.
  2. For best results, it is recommended that all aerators and screens are removed from every faucet being flushed.
  3. Using the cold-water handles, turn on all faucets – including kitchen and bathroom sinks, utility and mop sinks, bathtub and shower, etc. – and allow them to run during the entirety of the flushing process.
  4. Start with the lowest floor. If there is a basement, start there.
  5. Move to the next highest floor and turn on all faucets.
  6. Continue until all faucets are turned on in the structure.
  7. At the end of this process, water should be flowing from all the faucets in the building at the same time.
  8. Let the water run until the temperature changes.
  9. Repeat steps 3-5 using the hot-water taps.
  10. Replace any filters and reinstall any aerators and screens that were removed.

These same guidelines are applicable to commercial ice machines as well. While Capital Equipment helped many of our customers drain and clean out their ice equipment prior to shutting down, we know that many businesses ceased operations without much warning likely leaving their ice machines unattended. If that is that case, you’ll need to make sure any water that has been trapped in the water lines feeding the ice machine are cleared and thoroughly cleaned out. Water filters will need to be replaced as they may have become contaminated and rendered ineffective while lying dormant. Ice bins will need to be cleaned and sanitized while making sure items like ice scoops are cleaned as well. Internal components will need to be inspected and replaced if they have become damaged or contaminated.

If your business has been closed down for an any period of time due to the pandemic, you can’t simply flip your commercial ice machine(s) back on and expect to have clean, safe ice.

Get Your Ice Machines Ready For Reopening

what-makes-good-ice-Capital-Equipment-Kansas-City

With many states ramping up to reopen businesses after weeks of lying dormant, Kansas and Missouri are doing the same in the coming days and Capital Equipment will be busy making sure commercial ice machines are cleaned, running smooth, and ready for staff and customers to return. With many businesses shut down for the last month or more, we’re finding that many of our customers had to shut their ice machines down as well which means that they will need a thorough cleaning and sanitizing treatment before the ice is safe for consumption.

Commercial Ice Machine Service, Cleaning, and Sanitizing in Kansas City and Overland Park

office-hotel-ice-machines-makers-Kansas-City-Overland-Park

With local health departments more than likely to be our inspecting businesses more than usual, the last thing you need is to have yours shut down due to your ice maker so having professionals like Capital Equipment clean and sanitize your commercial ice machines guarantees that your ice won’t hold your business back from remaining open. Our service team will inspect your entire ice machine making sure that there aren’t any issues that have come up while your equipment has been shut down. The first items that need to be cleaned are the internal components of the ice machine. While many parts and components may not be visible, our services technicians know every nook and cranny of commercial ice equipment so that we can quickly and thoroughly remove, clean, and replace each component that is susceptible to contamination. We make sure that the water supply is clean which means any water lines are inspected and cleaned as well as replacing the water filter to insure clean, clear ice. Of course the ice bin will need to be drained and thoroughly cleaned as well since it is more often than not the area of commercial ice machines that is most likely to harbor dirt, mold, mildew, or other harmful germs  that can greatly effect the quality of ice. Also, ice scoops will need to be cleaned and sanitized often as they come in constant contact with human hands and are often overlooked when they should be washed and replaced frequently. Lastly, the exterior of commercial ice machines need to be cleaned often as well. Especially in busy kitchens and break rooms, ice machines (in particular bin doors) are likely to have more human contact than you would think and making sure the outside of the machine is cleaned often can prevent any issues that may find their way into the ice. We only use cleaners and sanitizers that are specific to commercial ice machines and ice equipment.

Cleaning Your Commercial Ice Machines

It has never been more important than it is now to make sure your restaurant’s or business’ ice machines are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. At Capital Equipment, we have worked with hundreds of businesses and organizations in the greater Kansas City area to ensure that their commercial ice machines are not a haven for germs, bacteria, and, in the age of COVID-19, transmittable diseases. Our service technicians are professional and knowledgeable on how to best clean and sanitize most all major brands of commercial ice equipment and now more than ever we understand the importance of social distancing when we are on service calls to help our customers with their ice machines.

Commercial Ice Machine Installation, Cleaning and Service in Kansas City and Overland Park

commercial-ice-machine-cleaning-service-repair-Kansas-City
Regularly cleaning and sanitizing the components of your commercial ice machines are an easy and obvious way keep quality ice in your bins.

Ice is considered by the FDA to be a food which means that every business is required to follow specific guidelines set forth to keep it clean and more importantly keep the machines that make it clean and sanitized. If you think about it, most commercial ice machines require either someone to scoop out ice by hand or activate an ice dispenser using one’s hand which is clearly why keeping your ice machines clean is imperative especially now. Capital Equipment effectively and thoroughly cleans out ice bins and the internal components that could potentially harbor mold, mildew, scale buildup and germs or diseases that could be health risk to your staff and customers.

clean-and-sanitize-ice-machine-bin-commercial-ice-machines
Ice bins are one of the most important components to keep clean and sanitized as they come in constant contact with human hands and other objects that could contain bacteria and contaminate the ice.

We are service certified with most major commercial ice machine brands which means we understand the manufacturers recommended cleaning processes and practice them accordingly. Our service technicians will clean and inspect water filters, ice bins, condensers, water lines, dispensers (if applicable, evaporators and other parts and components that come in contact with water and the ice. We’re also happy to provide tips to our customers on how to effectively clean the outside of the ice machines as more often than not, they come in contact with hands more than anywhere else on the equipment which can easily contaminate the ice inside. Some signs that you need to have your ice machine are:

  • Ice machine isn’t making any ice
  • Ice takes longer to make than usual
  • Ice has an odor
  • Ice machine is making incomplete cubes
  • Soft and/or milky looking ice
  • The ice machine won’t cycle to harvest mode

At Capital Equipment, we know that this is a very difficult time for many businesses especially in the hospitality and restaurant industry but we want you to know that we are here for all of your commercial ice needs.

Boil Orders and Ice Machines

commercial-ice-machine-service-repair-cleaning

We’ve all likely heard at one point or another about boil orders or boil advisories announced from our local health or water departments. But what exactly are they and what do businesses need to do to make sure their commercial ice machines aren’t making contaminated ice? Well, in simple terms, a boil order is typically issued when something has contaminated (or has potentially contaminated) a water line or water supply which could make anyone who ingests it sick.

Commercial Ice Machine Installation and Services in Kansas City

ice-machine-water-filter-filters

A boil order could be the result of a water line break or something more serious like a chemical spill or a natural disaster making the water (and anything made with it) unfit for human consumption. For businesses (and even homeowners) that use tap water for their ice maker, a boil order’s contaminated water can easily go overlooked when in reality there are steps that need to be taken before the ice equipment can be used safely again. That goes for commercial ice machines as well which means that if a boil order has been issued in your area and you have an active ice maker, the water filter(s) will need to be removed and replaced immediately before being used again.  But it doesn’t end at just changing the water filters on ice machines because, depending on when the boil order was issued, contaminated water may have already been used to make ice or could still be trapped in the water lines.

restaurant-ice-machine-repair-rental-service-Kansas-City

This means that any ice already in the bin is a potential danger and any water between the filter and the ice machine needs to be cleared before it can be deemed safe for employees and customers. Capital Equipment’s service technicians can professionally clean and sanitize your entire ice machine including the water lines while replacing the filter in the event of a boil order in your area. At Capital Equipment, we help Kansas City area business owners with all of their commercial ice machine and ice equipment needs and water filters and routine cleaning and maintenance are a big part of the services we provide. With over 12 years of experience in the commercial ice equipment industry, our service technicians have pretty much seen it all and know exactly what to do when a boil order effects your area and how to more importantly get your making clean, safe ice. When a boil order does occur in your area or you need any type of service or cleaning for your commercial ice equipment, call Capital Equipment at (913) 683-8972 for professional, knowledgeable ice machine experts that provide a truly personalized service to business owners and businesses.
