Servicing Hoshizaki Here
Our Hoshizaki work in Arlington covers all 2 Arlington ZIP codes we cover. The fault is diagnosed where the appliance stands, and nothing is repaired until you've approved the price.
In this part of Arlington, a repair often begins at a front desk. Between Court House and Ballston a great many people live in towers where the washer and dryer are stacked in a closet, the refrigerator is framed in by cabinets, and the route to the kitchen runs through a garage, a lobby and an elevator. The other half of the work is a short walk away, in houses built between the wars, where the concern is more likely a basement drain older than anyone living upstairs.
Before we come out, two notes on Hoshizaki: Hoshizaki is a Japanese manufacturer whose cubers use a stainless steel evaporator and a defined cleaning cycle; and slow harvests, thin cubes or cloudy ice from a Hoshizaki usually mean it's due for descaling and sanitizing.
Call or book online, and we'll agree on a time together.
Who builds Hoshizaki, and what that means for parts
Hoshizaki engineers and builds its own appliances, so its parts and repair procedures are specific to Hoshizaki, and parts for jobs in Arlington come through Hoshizaki's own supply chain.
Include the model number when you book. The label is usually inside the door or lid, on the frame, behind the lower kick panel or on the back. That number lets us check the weak points of that particular platform and load those parts before the visit, instead of ordering after it.
Hoshizaki equipment in restaurants, bars and cafés
Down commercial equipment costs money every hour it sits. For Hoshizaki calls in Arlington we try to arrive outside your rush, and when you book we'll want the model and serial numbers so the parts that usually fail come with us.
Cold holding and ice carry food-safety duties, so we leave a written record of the fault and the parts replaced. When the failure comes from upkeep (a condenser matted with grease, a split gasket, an ice machine overdue for descaling) we'll say so, because that is what causes the next breakdown.
Hoshizaki in Arlington kitchens and laundry rooms
Stacked pairs that stop draining, or that need a second cycle because their exhaust travels through the building before reaching air; 24-inch dishwashers and slim refrigerators in galley kitchens; over-the-range microwaves that serve as the only hood over the cooktop; and in the older houses, basement washers and refrigerators on circuits that were added a room at a time.
Whatever the badge says, a Hoshizaki appliance depends on the drain, vent, circuit and supply line it's connected to. In Arlington the washer and dryer usually sit in a hall closet holding a stacked washer-dryer in the condo towers, a shared laundry room in the older garden-apartment buildings, and the basement of the detached houses, and in high-rise condos and garden apartments those connections are often where a fault begins.
Humidity, dryers and door seals
Humidity works on refrigerators too. When a door gasket stops sealing, damp summer air pours in, frost builds on the evaporator and the cabinet sweats along the door edge.
Close a dollar bill in the door at several points and pull it out; if it slides free with no drag, the gasket isn't sealing there. A worn gasket is an inexpensive repair that saves the compressor a lot of work.
Upstairs washers and water damage
In townhouses and many newer houses around Arlington, the washer is on the bedroom floor, so a leak doesn't stay on the floor; it comes through the ceiling below. Most leaks start at a hookup rather than inside the machine: a rubber supply hose that finally split, a drain hose that slipped out of its standpipe, a door boot torn by a zipper.
Stainless-braided hoses, a pan under the machine and a valve within arm's reach cost little next to a ceiling repair. When water shows up, close the valve and pull the plug first, then call.
Hoshizaki Service in Brief
Hoshizaki Repair Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
If the warranty is still running, yes; the maker arranges covered repairs through its own network. We're an independent company and no brand's authorized service center, so we take the job in Arlington once coverage ends or the fault falls outside it.
Usually, if we know ahead. Name each appliance that's misbehaving when you book the Arlington visit, model numbers included, and the day is planned with room for all of them.
A little. Most repairs are done where the machines stand, and around Arlington laundry is usually in a hall closet holding a stacked washer-dryer in the condo towers, a shared laundry room in the older garden-apartment buildings, and the basement of the detached houses. If the machines are upstairs, in a tight closet or behind a finished wall, mention it when you book so we can plan for anything that has to be moved.
We start with the Hoshizaki part listed for your model number. If Hoshizaki no longer supplies it, we look for an equivalent and tell you it is one before it goes in. Hoshizaki designs and builds its own platform, so the parts come through Hoshizaki's own supply.
It turns on which part failed and how old the machine is. Valves, pumps, igniters, elements, belts, switches and fan motors are routine replacements. A dead main control or a sealed-system leak on an aging unit can cost more than the machine is worth to you, and when that's the case you'll hear it before you spend anything.
Booking Hoshizaki Service
Copy the model number from the Hoshizaki label (inside the door, under the lid or on the frame) before you call or book. We quote after testing, and the repair waits for your yes.
