Hoshizaki in Redwood City

Hoshizaki refrigeration in Redwood City.

Downtown Redwood City runs later than most Peninsula downtowns because of the Fox Theatre crowd, and the restaurants around Courthouse Square lean on their Hoshizaki ice machines through a dinner rush that stretches into a show's second act. Out at Redwood Shores, the office campuses run micro-markets and cafeteria kitchens that push a cube head through call volume a normal restaurant never sees. Up in Emerald Hills, it's a different job, a wet bar or a pool house with a real ice machine instead of a countertop unit.

We service Hoshizaki as an independent shop and stock the parts that fail most, so most calls involve parts we usually stock. Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, written quote first.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Redwood Shores micro-market machines short-cycling. An office cafeteria or micro-market Hoshizaki unit at Redwood Shores gets hit by call volume all day long, and that kind of duty cycle burns out a compressor contactor or a start relay faster than a restaurant that only runs hard at lunch and dinner. I test the contactor under load before I replace anything, since a compressor that's actually failing looks the same at first glance.
  • Theatre district reach-ins with a drifting thermistor. A restaurant near the Fox Theatre called us in on a reach-in holding food a few degrees warm even with the compressor running fine. The thermistor had drifted off calibration, so the board thought the box was colder than it was. We swap in a calibrated thermistor and confirm the setpoint before we close it out.
  • Emerald Hills wet bar ice maker install issues. The wet bars and pool houses up in Emerald Hills sometimes have a Hoshizaki unit installed into a cabinet with no real air gap, and that traps heat around the condenser and shortens compressor life. I check clearance and airflow first on these calls, because a lot of what looks like a refrigeration fault is really an install problem.

FAQ

Hoshizaki in Redwood City questions, answered.

  • Do you cover Redwood Shores and the office campuses?
    Yes. We're dispatched from San Ramon down through the Peninsula, and Redwood Shores is a regular stop for us. A down machine in a working office kitchen moves ahead of routine calls.
  • Why does my restaurant's Hoshizaki hold food warmer than the setpoint?
    If the compressor sounds fine but the box still runs warm, check the thermistor before assuming a compressor problem. A drifted thermistor tells the board the wrong temperature, and swapping it often fixes the issue without touching the sealed system.
  • Is Adrium an authorized Hoshizaki dealer?
    No, we run Hoshizaki service as an independent shop, no factory-authorization claim. Manitowoc is the ice machine brand with our factory training. We hold EPA 608 (#1279674151528) and CSLB #1136642.
