Traulsen Ice Maker Repair in Philadelphia

Start with the basics of the line: Traulsen makes refrigeration, not ice machines. An ice call under the Traulsen name usually involves ice storage or a separate machine installed next to Traulsen equipment.

The failures that repeat across Traulsen ice makers are scale inside the ice machine, faulty water inlet valve, clogged drain, and fouled condenser. Owners usually describe one of these: ice output falling off, small or cloudy ice, and leaking water. When ice output falls, look at the ice machine's water filter and check the evaporator for scale. Thin or hollow cubes usually mean the machine is short of water, from a clogged filter or low pressure.

Ice production trouble around Traulsen equipment usually comes from a separate machine installed nearby, since Traulsen doesn't build ice machines. Water quality and scale are the main concerns. The first step is finding out who actually made the machine.

In Philadelphia restaurants and bars, scale and dirty water systems drive most commercial ice machine problems, so filtration and scheduled cleaning matter more than anything else. Water pressure, filter condition and scale are checked before any part is replaced.

Traulsen units are built for long commercial service, so repairs usually pay off, especially against downtime and replacement cost. Jobs such as the fouled condenser come with a written estimate up front and a 90-day parts, 30-day labor warranty when they are finished.

Write down the date every time the filter is changed. If you are seeing ice output falling off, or anything else off with your Traulsen ice maker, book a visit and we will confirm the cause before quoting.
