Expert Diagnostics & Repair Services to Keep Your Business Running Cool
In a busy commercial kitchen or hospitality environment, a malfunctioning ice machine can bring operations to a grinding halt.
Whether you are running a restaurant in Bryan or a medical facility in College Station, you rely on a steady supply of clean, clear ice to meet health standards and customer expectations.
At R and D Maintenance, we understand the urgency of refrigeration failures. With over two decades of specialized experience, our team provides professional, high-priority repair services for all types of commercial ice makers. We combine technical precision with a deep understanding of commercial logistics to ensure your equipment is restored to peak performance with minimal downtime.
Comprehensive Brand Expertise
Specialized Service for Every Major Manufacturer
Commercial ice machines are complex systems that require a unique set of skills compared to standard HVAC units. Our technicians are trained to service a wide array of equipment, from high-volume modular cubers to flake and nugget ice machines. We have extensive experience troubleshooting and repairing industry-leading brands such as Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Scotsman, and Ice-O-Matic. Because we understand the internal mechanics of these specific systems—including water filtration, evaporator plates, and harvest cycles—we can identify issues quickly and provide solutions that adhere to manufacturer specifications, protecting your equipment warranty and longevity.
Solving Critical Performance Issues
Addressing Common Faults and Mechanical Failures
Ice machines operate in demanding environments where scale buildup, heat, and constant use can lead to frequent breakdowns. We address the most common and frustrating issues, including slow production cycles, “freeze-ups” where ice sticks to the evaporator, and machines that produce cloudy or malformed ice. Beyond mechanical repairs, we inspect critical components such as water inlet valves, thermostats, and bin sensors. By addressing the root cause—whether it’s a refrigerant leak or a compromised water pump—we ensure your machine doesn’t just start running again, but operates at the high efficiency your business demands.

Preventing Costly Breakdowns with Proactive Care
The majority of commercial ice machine failures are preventable. Scale and mineral deposits from local water sources can quickly coat an evaporator, leading to expensive repairs if left unchecked. At R and D Maintenance, we offer comprehensive cleaning and maintenance programs designed specifically for commercial units. Our service includes descaling the water system, sanitizing the bin, and checking refrigerant levels. Regular professional maintenance not only prevents emergency service calls but also reduces the strain on your compressor, lowering your energy costs and extending the life of your expensive equipment.
Transparent Communication and Estimates
Clear Solutions for Better Business Decisions
When an ice machine fails, you need to know whether a repair is a sound investment or if a replacement is more cost-effective. We provide transparent, upfront estimates and detailed explanations of our findings. If your unit is reaching the end of its functional life or if the cost of parts outweighs the machine’s value, we provide honest recommendations on the best path forward. Our goal is to be a long-term partner for your business, providing the data and expertise you need to manage your facility’s equipment effectively and affordably.
