When your commercial ice machine stops producing, the impact hits fast — bars can't serve cocktails, restaurants can't fill water glasses, hotels can't stock guest ice buckets, and hospitals lose a key piece of patient-care equipment. Accutemp Services dispatches ice machine repair technicians across Northern Colorado within 30–60 minutes, with the parts and expertise to fix most failures on the first visit and a 30-day labor warranty backing every repair.
Commercial ice machines are some of the hardest-working equipment in any food service or hospitality operation. They run continuously, depend on consistent water quality, and are built with multiple integrated systems — refrigeration circuit, water-supply assembly, harvest mechanism, electronic controls — any of which can fail and bring production to a halt. Accutemp's technicians specialize in diagnosing the exact failure point quickly so you're not paying for guesswork or trial-and-error parts swaps.
We service every major commercial ice machine brand used in Northern Colorado: Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, Kold-Draft, Follett, and Cornelius. Whether you're running a high-output cube ice machine in a busy hotel, a flake ice unit in a hospital, a nugget ice dispenser at a quick-service restaurant, or an under-counter unit at a craft cocktail bar, our team has worked on the equipment and knows the common failure patterns by model. Common repairs include water inlet valve replacement, condenser coil cleaning, evaporator plate service, harvest cycle calibration, drain pump replacement, water pump rebuild, and full refrigerant system service.
Water quality is the single biggest cause of ice machine failure in Northern Colorado. The Front Range has hard water with high mineral content that builds up on evaporator plates, restricts water flow, and accelerates compressor wear. We install and service the water filtration systems that protect ice machines from this damage — typically extending equipment life by 5–10 years and dramatically reducing failure frequency. For clients on a preventive maintenance contract, filter changes, descaling, and full machine cleaning are scheduled automatically so the ice keeps flowing without surprise breakdowns.
Ice machines also have direct health code implications. The FDA Food Code treats ice as a food, meaning your machines must produce ice safe for direct consumption — clean evaporator plates, sanitized internal surfaces, and properly maintained water supply lines. We document every service visit with the records you need for health department inspections, and our PM contracts include the deep-cleaning protocols that keep your machines compliant. Whether you're a restaurant, a hotel, a healthcare facility, or a brewery, ice is a food safety asset you can't afford to ignore.

Our Process
Priority Dispatch
Ice machine failures are dispatched as emergency calls — expect a technician on-site within 30–60 minutes across our Northern Colorado service area
Multi-System Diagnosis
Our technicians check the refrigeration circuit, water supply, harvest mechanism, and electronic controls in sequence to pinpoint the root cause without guesswork
First-Visit Repair
We carry common ice machine parts on our service vehicles, including water inlet valves, harvest motors, and water pumps — most repairs are completed in a single visit
Production Verification
Before we leave, we run a full harvest cycle, verify ice production rate, check water quality, and document the repair for your records
