Almcoe has factory-trained techs servicing Manitowoc I-series, Indigo NXT, and S-series modular units across Texas since 1960. We handle compressor failures, harvest cycle issues, and water system scaling common in DFW's hard water conditions.
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 worked on every generation of Manitowoc ice machines from the original cubers to the latest Indigo NXT units. Our senior techs have seen every failure mode these machines produce, from bearing failures in older I-series compressors to board issues in the newer NXT controllers. We stock OEM parts for faster turnaround and carry R-404A and newer R-448A refrigerants for transitioning systems.
DFW's 100°F summer temps stress condenser coils while our notoriously hard water causes scale buildup in evaporators and water distribution tubes. We address both. Our service calls include condenser cleaning, water filter evaluation, and scale treatment recommendations. We've repaired thousands of Manitowoc machines in Texas restaurants, hotels, and healthcare facilities where water quality directly impacts ice production and machine longevity.
All Almcoe techs hold EPA Section 608 Universal certification for refrigerant handling and TDLR licenses for Texas. We follow proper recovery procedures when working with R-404A systems and understand the transition requirements as Manitowoc shifts to A2L refrigerants like R-454C in newer models. Our work meets federal and state regulations, and we document all refrigerant transactions per EPA mandate.
“Almcoe got our Manitowoc S-series back online in three hours. The harvest cycle was stuck and we were losing lunch service.”
“They diagnosed a failed water pump on our hotel's Indigo NXT before the other company even showed up. Honest pricing, no surprises.”
“Our I-400 compressor went out during August heat. Almcoe had the part in stock and we were making ice again by evening shift.”
We repair all Manitowoc commercial ice machines including I-series (I-300, I-400, I-1000 series), Indigo NXT models, and S-series modular units. Services include compressor replacement, evaporator cleaning, water pump and valve replacement, harvest cycle troubleshooting, control board repair, condenser coil cleaning, refrigerant leak repair, and complete system diagnostics. We service cubers, flakers, and nugget ice machines across all Texas markets.
We offer same-day service in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area for most calls received before noon. Emergency calls get prioritized based on severity. A restaurant losing ice during lunch rush gets faster response than a machine with declining production. For Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and other Texas cities, we typically schedule within 24 to 48 hours. Our dispatch line at (214) 949-8674 is staffed 24/7 for true emergencies.
Diagnostic and service call fees run $175 to $250 depending on location and time of day. Common repairs: water pump replacement $280 to $420, harvest sensor $190 to $310, control board $450 to $850, compressor replacement $1,200 to $2,400 depending on model and refrigerant type. After-hours and weekend emergency service carries a premium. We provide written estimates before starting major repairs and our pricing includes labor, parts, and refrigerant if required.
DFW's hard water causes mineral scale in evaporators and water distribution systems, reducing ice production and causing irregular cube size. Texas summer heat stresses condensers, leading to high head pressure faults and compressor short cycling. We also see harvest cycle failures from faulty hot gas valves, water curtain problems from clogged spray nozzles, and control board issues on Indigo NXT models from power surges. Older I-series machines develop compressor bearing wear and refrigerant leaks at brazed joints.
Yes, we service all of Texas including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, El Paso, Lubbock, and Amarillo. DFW metro gets same-day response while other markets are typically scheduled within 48 hours. For remote locations, we may coordinate multi-site service calls to manage travel costs efficiently. Our techs carry common Manitowoc parts and can often complete repairs on the first visit regardless of location within Texas.
Our emergency line (214) 949-8674 operates 24/7/365 for critical breakdowns. We define emergencies as complete ice production loss during peak business hours, refrigerant leaks, or electrical failures creating safety hazards. After-hours service (weeknights after 6pm, weekends, holidays) includes premium rates but we dispatch techs for legitimate emergencies. Non-critical issues like declining production or minor leaks can often wait for regular business hours at standard rates.
