Hoshizaki in East Palo Alto

Hoshizaki refrigeration in East Palo Alto.

East Palo Alto is a dense, working city, small markets and taquerias along University Avenue, apartment buildings stacked close together, and a couple of much bigger operations sitting right in the middle of it, the IKEA store's restaurant and the Four Seasons kitchen. The corner markets run smaller Hoshizaki reach-ins that take a beating from doors opening all day. IKEA's cafeteria and the Four Seasons kitchen run cube heads at a volume most restaurants never see.

We handle Hoshizaki as an independent shop and keep the common failure parts on the truck, so most of these calls involve parts we usually stock. Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, written quote before any work starts.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Corner market reach-ins with worn gaskets. A small market on University Avenue opens its reach-in door a hundred times a day, and the gasket wears out faster than in a sit-down restaurant. A torn gasket lets warm humid air in, ices the evaporator, and the box loses its cooling. We replace the gasket and check the door alignment so it seals flush again.
  • High-volume cube heads losing production. A Hoshizaki KM head running a cafeteria-scale operation cycles through water fast, and scale builds on the evaporator plate quicker than at a normal restaurant. The bin comes up short before the machine ever throws a fault code. I descale on a tighter interval for these high-draw machines and set the filter change schedule to match.
  • Compressors overheating in tight storefronts. A lot of the storefronts along University Avenue don't have much room behind the counter for a compressor to breathe, and a unit boxed into a tight corner runs high head pressure and shuts down on thermal overload. I check clearance and clean the condenser before I assume the compressor itself is bad.

FAQ

Hoshizaki in East Palo Alto questions, answered.

  • Do you service the smaller markets, not just the big kitchens?
    Yes. Most of our East Palo Alto calls are the smaller markets and restaurants along University Avenue, not just the big operations. We treat a corner market's dead reach-in the same as a hotel kitchen's, since it's someone's whole business either way.
  • Why does my high-volume ice machine keep running short on production?
    A machine that runs constant volume scales up faster than one that idles most of the day. Descaling on a tighter schedule and keeping the water filter current usually solves it before the machine ever faults out.
  • Are you a Hoshizaki authorized dealer?
    No, we work on Hoshizaki as an independent shop. Manitowoc is the only brand we carry factory training on. We hold EPA 608 certification (#1279674151528) and CSLB #1136642.
