Why your ice cream machine is not cooling
On the ice cream machine: cabinet temperature drifts up into the 50s over a day or two while the unit keeps cycling as if nothing were wrong.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A damper stuck in the closed position
- 02A control board that's stopped calling for cooling
- 03A dying evaporator or condenser fan motor
- 04A slow refrigerant leak in the sealed system
- 05A defrost cycle that never terminates, icing the coil
Quick checks worth doing
One thing you can check with no tools: listen for the compressor cycling on at all, and check nothing's blocking airflow around the base or rear vents. Worth pinning down: compare readings at the front and the back of the compartment; a large gap points at airflow rather than at cooling capacity. Once that's ruled out, not-cooling that keeps coming back after a coil cleaning usually means the sealed system has lost its charge, and recharging it needs recovery equipment and training most homeowners don't have.
First we test the ice cream machine end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. The repair is backed by the labor and parts warranty once the cause is confirmed and put right.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a ice cream machine
The heat and humidity that define a St. Augustine summer reach a ice cream machine directly, not just the room around it. Coastal salt content works on condenser coils and exposed metal, and the summer heat alone extends compressor run time well past what the spec sheet assumes. It's routine on a St. Augustine call: check what the environment wears first, then confirm the actual fault.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Every repair carries an 18-month labor warranty and a 90-day parts warranty. If the same issue returns in that window, we come back at no charge.
What does the diagnosis involve?
First the fault is reproduced and measured, then you get an explanation of the failure in plain terms and what putting it right requires. Nothing is replaced on a guess.
How do I know if it is worth repairing?
You will be told plainly. There is no value to us in selling a repair that will not hold, and the diagnosis is what makes that call — not the age on the badge.
Where do the replacement parts come from?
OEM wherever the repair calls for it. If a part is no longer produced for your model, you hear that up front rather than after the invoice.
