When your Hoshizaki goes down in Sundance Square or the Stockyards, you need a technician who knows these machines inside and out. We've been repairing KM cubers, KML flakers, and KMD modular units across North Texas since 1960, through every 105-degree summer and hard water challenge DFW can deliver.
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.
Since 1960, we've built our reputation on one thing: keeping commercial ice machines running when Dallas-Fort Worth businesses need them most. Our lead techs have 20-plus years each diagnosing Hoshizaki failures, from water distribution tube blockages to R-404A circuit leaks. We stock OEM parts for KM-series cubers, KML flakers, and KMD modular units on every truck, which means we fix it right the first time without multiple trips to Stockyards kitchens or West 7th bars during peak service.
We don't send helpers to guess at Hoshizaki issues. Our senior technicians diagnose harvest cycle failures, bin thermostat drift, and condenser scaling caused by Fort Worth's hard municipal water. We know the KM-520MAH uses different float switches than the KM-630MAJ. We know KML flaker augers crack under load when bearing seals fail. We test superheat on R-404A systems and verify proper transition procedures when retrofitting to R-449A or R-454C. This is refrigeration trade work, not parts swapping.
Every Almcoe tech carries EPA Universal certification and Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation credentials. We handle refrigerant recovery, leak repair, and circuit charging to federal and state standards. When we document a repair on your Hoshizaki ice machine in Fort Worth, you get proper recovery logs, refrigerant type records, and warranty-compliant service paperwork. Our 4.9 Google rating across 47-plus reviews reflects that professionalism, and our liability coverage protects your business from the first wrench turn to final startup.
“Our KM-650MAH quit making ice Friday night. Almcoe had a tech to our West 7th location in two hours. Replaced the water valve and we were back up.”
“Hard water buildup had our flaker dumping half-cubes. Their guy pulled the evaporator, descaled it properly, and showed our staff the maintenance schedule.”
“Condenser fan motor failed on our modular unit during July heat. Same-day repair, OEM Hoshizaki motor, no downtime. Exactly what we needed.”
We diagnose and repair all Hoshizaki commercial ice machines throughout Fort Worth and Tarrant County. That includes KM-series cube machines (KM-320, KM-520, KM-630, KM-650, KM-900 models), KML-series flake ice machines, and KMD-series modular units. Common repairs include harvest cycle failures, water system blockages, evaporator leaks, condenser fan motors, control board replacement, float valve service, and refrigerant circuit work on R-404A and newer R-449A systems. We stock OEM Hoshizaki parts and provide emergency, scheduled, and preventive maintenance for restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and bars across the Fort Worth metro.
We dispatch 24/7 for ice machine emergencies throughout Fort Worth, including Stockyards, Sundance Square, West 7th, and the Cultural District. Most emergency calls receive same-day response, often within two to four hours depending on your location and our tech routing. For scheduled service or non-critical issues, we typically book within 24 to 48 hours. Our trucks run from our Dallas facility at 4050 Cresthill Road, which puts us 30 to 40 minutes from most Fort Worth commercial zones under normal traffic. Call (214) 949-8674 and our dispatch desk will give you an accurate arrival window.
Diagnostic service calls start at around $185 to $225, which includes the first hour of labor and a full system evaluation. Actual repair costs depend on the failure. A water inlet valve or float switch runs $250 to $400 total. Control boards range from $450 to $750 installed. Compressor replacement on a KM-630 typically falls between $1,400 and $2,200 depending on refrigerant type and recovery requirements. We provide written estimates before starting major work, and our pricing reflects OEM Hoshizaki parts, EPA-compliant refrigerant handling, and the experience of senior licensed technicians, not apprentice labor rates.
DFW's hard municipal water causes scale buildup in water distribution tubes, float valves, and evaporator plates, which interrupts cube formation or flake production. Texas summer heat stresses condenser coils and fan motors, especially on rooftop or poorly ventilated installations. We also see harvest cycle failures from thermistor drift, bin thermostat issues that prevent proper shutdown, and refrigerant leaks at flare fittings or evaporator joints on older R-404A machines. KM-series cubers frequently need water pump service, while KML flaker auger bearings wear under continuous load. Proper preventive maintenance every six months prevents most of these issues.
We service all of Fort Worth and surrounding Tarrant County, including Stockyards, Sundance Square, West 7th corridor, the Cultural District, Ridglea, Arlington's Entertainment District, and North Richland Hills. Our primary service area covers the entire Dallas-Fort Worth metro, and we regularly run service routes throughout Texas for commercial clients with multiple locations. If you're operating a restaurant, hotel, hospital, or catering facility anywhere in the Fort Worth area with a Hoshizaki ice machine, we can support it with emergency repair, scheduled maintenance, or planned equipment upgrades.
Yes. We dispatch 24/7/365 for Hoshizaki ice machine emergencies in Fort Worth. Restaurants, hotels, and healthcare facilities can't wait until Monday morning when ice production stops on a Friday night. Our on-call technicians carry stocked service vehicles and respond nights, weekends, and holidays. After-hours service calls carry a premium dispatch fee, typically $100 to $150 above standard rates, but you get the same senior-level technician and OEM parts. Call our main line at (214) 949-8674 any time, day or night, and our answering service will route you to the on-call tech for immediate dispatch.
