When your Hoshizaki cuber or flaker goes down in Arlington, 64 years of refrigeration expertise responds fast. We service KM-series cubers, KML flakers, and KMD modular units across the Entertainment District and beyond.
Response within 2 hours. Emergency calls dispatched immediately.
Since 1960, Texas businesses have called Almcoe when they need commercial refrigeration done right the first time.
We stock Hoshizaki evaporator assemblies, water pumps, control boards, and thermistors on every service truck. That means KM-630MAH cubers and KML-631MAH flakers get repaired on first visit, not after a three-day parts wait. When restaurants near AT&T Stadium or Globe Life Field lose ice capacity during a Texas summer weekend, we arrive with the parts and the refrigerant. Our Arlington response time averages under 90 minutes because we know what a dead ice machine costs you per hour in lost sales and guest complaints.
Dallas-Fort Worth water mineral content destroys more Hoshizaki ice machines than compressor failure. We see it weekly in Arlington: scale buildup on KM-series evaporator plates, clogged float valves, failed water inlet solenoids. Our techs delime using manufacturer-approved nickel-safe acids, replace calcified distribution tubes, and install aftermarket filtration when your water hardness exceeds 5 grains. We also retrofit older R-404A units to R-449A during major repairs, keeping you compliant as refrigerant costs climb and EPA regulations tighten. Every Hoshizaki service includes water quality testing and filter condition reporting.
Almcoe holds both EPA Section 608 Universal certification and Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation commercial refrigeration credentials. Every technician carries personal TDLR and EPA cards, handles R-404A and R-449A refrigerants legally, and documents all refrigerant recovery per federal law. We've serviced Arlington commercial kitchens, stadiums, hotels, and healthcare facilities for over six decades. Our 4.9 Google rating across 47+ reviews reflects what happens when you combine old-school trade skills with modern diagnostic tools and parts inventory. You get honest diagnosis, transparent pricing, and repairs that last years, not months.
“Our KM-515MAH stopped making ice during a Friday lunch rush. Almcoe had it running in two hours. Compressor relay and a delime. Solid work.”
“Water curtain failure on our KMD-850. They arrived with the evaporator and refrigerant, fixed it same visit. No downtime for our hotel guests.”
“Hoshizaki flaker making slush instead of flake ice. Tech found failed gearbox and bad harvest thermistor. Back online before dinner service.”
Diagnostic service calls run $185 to $225 in Arlington. Common repairs range from $320 for a water pump or float valve replacement to $1,400 for compressor changeout on a KM-630. Evaporator assemblies with refrigerant recovery and recharge run $850 to $1,150 depending on model. Control board replacements cost $480 to $720 installed. We provide written estimates before any repair work begins, and our pricing includes refrigerant, EPA-compliant recovery, labor, and 90-day parts warranty. Emergency after-hours calls add $125 to the standard trip charge.
Our average Arlington response time is 60 to 90 minutes during business hours, under two hours after-hours and weekends. We dispatch from our Dallas facility at 4050 Cresthill Road, 15 minutes from the Entertainment District. For restaurants near AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, or along I-30 corridor, we often arrive faster. All service trucks carry Hoshizaki parts inventory, R-404A and R-449A refrigerant, vacuum pumps, and leak detection equipment, so most repairs complete same-visit without return trips for parts.
Yes. We service KM-series cube machines (KM-320, KM-515, KM-630, KM-1300, KM-1900 and all MAH, MWH, MLH variations), KML-series flake ice machines (KML-325, KML-631, KML-700), and KMD modular units. We also repair F-series cubelet machines, older KM-Edge series, and IM-series hotel dispensers. Our techs are factory-trained on Hoshizaki refrigeration circuits, Cycle-Saver water systems, and EverCheck alert diagnostics. We handle both air-cooled and water-cooled condensers, all voltage configurations, and remote condenser installations common in Arlington commercial kitchens.
Two main culprits: hard water and heat. DFW municipal water averages 120 to 180 ppm hardness. That calcium and magnesium deposits on evaporator plates, clogs float valves, and kills water pumps within 18 months without proper filtration. Texas summer ambient temperatures over 100°F overwork air-cooled condensers, especially units in poorly ventilated kitchen corners or near cooking equipment. We see compressor failures, fan motor burnout, and condenser coil fouling every July and August. Regular six-month maintenance with deliming, condenser cleaning, and water filter replacement prevents 80% of emergency breakdowns.
We service all of Arlington: Entertainment District around AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, Cooper Street corridor, Parks Mall area, Arlington Highlands, Downtown Arlington, Grand Prairie border, Mansfield border, and everything between I-20 and I-30. Our service area extends across all of DFW and statewide for commercial clients with multiple Texas locations. Whether you operate a single taco shop on Division Street or manage ice machines at a Cowboys game day, we respond with the same parts inventory and technical expertise. No minimum contract required for Arlington service.
Yes. We answer emergency calls 24 hours, seven days a week, including holidays. Restaurants, bars, hotels, and healthcare facilities can't wait until Monday morning when ice production stops on a Saturday night. Our on-call techs carry fully stocked trucks with Hoshizaki parts, refrigerants, and diagnostic equipment. After-hours emergency service adds $125 to the standard trip charge. We prioritize critical failures like complete ice loss, refrigerant leaks, or water flooding. Call (214) 949-8674 anytime. A live technician or dispatcher answers, not a voicemail system. We'll have someone headed to your Arlington location within the hour.
