West of the City of Fairfax, the land between I-66 and US 50 filled with office parks, shopping and rows of garage townhouses as the Fair Lakes development took shape. South of the city, Braddock Road and Ox Road lead into wooded subdivisions of two-story colonials and split-foyers built for families commuting toward Washington.
Before we come out, two notes on Hoshizaki: slow harvests, thin cubes or cloudy ice from a Hoshizaki usually mean it's due for descaling and sanitizing; and restaurant and bar ice machines run all day, so staying on the cleaning schedule matters more than any single part.
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 Fair Lakes & South Fairfax 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 Fair Lakes & South Fairfax 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 Fair Lakes & South Fairfax kitchens and laundry rooms
Townhouses here usually pair a builder-grade side-by-side refrigerator with an electric or gas range and a laundry closet near the bedrooms, while the detached houses south of Braddock Road usually keep a full-size washer and dryer in the basement.
Whatever the badge says, a Hoshizaki appliance depends on the drain, vent, circuit and supply line it's connected to. In Fair Lakes & South Fairfax the washer and dryer usually sit in a closet on the bedroom floor of a townhouse, a stacked pair in a condo hallway, or a basement corner in the detached houses, and in postwar houses those connections are often where a fault begins.
Upstairs washers and water damage
A washer that walks on spin can pull its own hoses loose, and on an upper floor that's how small problems become ceiling repairs. Leveling the feet and checking the suspension stop most of the movement.
If you ever find a damp spot under the washer, don't wait for it to spread. The source is usually small and easy to fix while it's still small.
Gas ranges, dryers and safety
Many kitchens and laundry rooms in Fair Lakes & South Fairfax run on natural gas from Washington Gas. When a gas oven or dryer won't light, the cause is usually an igniter, a sensor or a valve coil in the appliance, not the gas supply.
If you smell gas strongly, leave the switches alone, get out of the house and call the gas company or 911 from outside. We work on the appliance once it's safe, and every fitting we open is leak-tested afterwards.

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.
A little. Most repairs are done where the machines stand, and around Fair Lakes & South Fairfax laundry is usually in a closet on the bedroom floor of a townhouse, a stacked pair in a condo hallway, or a basement corner in 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.
Many refrigerators are designed for a room kept at household temperatures, and a closed garage in Fair Lakes & South Fairfax runs much hotter in July. The compressor then runs almost without stopping and a dusty condenser makes it worse. The manual lists your model's rated range, and we check whether it's the location or a fault before quoting anything.
It depends on how the week is already booked in Fair Lakes & South Fairfax and the areas around it. Call or book online, and we'll agree on a time together. If a refrigerator or freezer is failing with food inside, tell us; it changes how we plan the day.
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.
