Hoshizaki in San Carlos

Hoshizaki refrigeration in San Carlos.

Laurel Street carries most of San Carlos's restaurant traffic, tight storefronts packed close together, and a lot of them run a Hoshizaki cube head behind the bar or a reach-in in a kitchen the size of a closet. On the east side toward the tracks and the airport, the shops and light manufacturing outfits lean on bigger walk-ins and beverage coolers instead.

We work on Hoshizaki as an independent shop and carry the parts that fail most on the truck, so the repair starts with an on-site diagnosis and a written estimate. Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, written quote before we touch anything.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Laurel Street cube heads losing capacity. A Hoshizaki KM head crammed behind a Laurel Street bar runs nonstop through a dinner rush, and scale on the evaporator plate cuts production before anyone notices until the bin comes up short at 9pm. I descale the plate, change the water filter, and check the float, and that usually gets the count back.
  • East side reach-ins choking on dust. The reach-ins and prep coolers in the industrial shops on the east side sit near loading doors and forklift traffic, and the condenser coil packs with dust and grease faster than a sit-down restaurant kitchen. A coil that's caked over runs high head pressure and trips the compressor. We pull the coil, clean it, and set a cleaning interval so it doesn't happen again in three months.
  • Harvest valve stuck open on a busy bar machine. When a Hoshizaki head at a Laurel Street bar keeps running the compressor but stops dropping ice, the hot gas harvest valve is usually hung. I isolate the valve, check the coil against spec with a meter, and fit OEM. Aftermarket coils on these valves don't hold up under bar volume.

FAQ

Hoshizaki in San Carlos questions, answered.

  • Can you get to Laurel Street on a busy Friday night?
    We're on the Peninsula, so San Carlos is a short run for us. A down ice machine or cooler on Laurel Street during service goes to the front of the line ahead of routine calls. We don't promise same day, but urgent restaurant calls get pushed hard.
  • Why does my Hoshizaki machine keep dropping capacity?
    Most of the time it's scale on the evaporator plate from a skipped filter change, and it shows up as a slow bin fill before the machine finally faults. A descale and a fresh filter usually bring it back.
  • Are you an authorized Hoshizaki dealer?
    No, we service Hoshizaki as an independent shop. Manitowoc is the one ice machine line we carry factory training on. We're EPA 608 certified (#1279674151528) and licensed under CSLB #1136642.
