Ice machines make clear ice by running water over a cold plate or grid, and that water leaves minerals behind, which is why cleaning and descaling come up on so many repair calls. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention ice machines and refrigeration at the top.

What Honolulu Owners Should Know
Most ice machine calls in Honolulu come down to water supply, scale, drains and pumps, dirty condensers and harvest controls.
Hawaii has no appliance repair license classification; the Contractors License Board's specialty classifications cover related trades such as plumbing (including fuel gas piping), refrigeration, and ventilating and air conditioning, and a contractor license applies to jobs that need a building, electrical or plumbing permit.

In Hawaii, you can check a license with the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing public license search or report a problem to the Hawaii DCCA Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO).
