Another tasty cuber

Had the joy of going on a service call recently for an ice machine drain issue. Cleared the line which looked like a chunk of flab flew out when i pressurized it. Anyway couldn't help but notice the obvious . . . I was told this gets cleaned on a routine basis. . Let's see if they want it done when the higher ups see the quote

That's beyond pink

[hvacvegas]

and yet, no one at our shop can figure out why I don't get ice.

[stebs]

If they dont go for the cleaning... i bet a call to the local health department would fix that...

[hvac wiz 79]

Lol. I don't care that much

The world needs more Marvin Zindlers.

When I was working in Houston, the worst thing a restaurant could do was get busted for having slime in the ice machine, because that would virtually guarantee making it on Marvin Zindler's "Friday Night Restaurant Report".

Routine basis, like once a decade?!?!?!?

That is precisely why I don't get ice in my drinks.

Call the Health dept before somebody gets really sick..

Yea after working on a few and seeing pictures on the net I have stopped getting ice in my drink. The other day Hardees forgot to not add ice and I could taste that junk in my drink. Something I found out is that 90- 95% of food illness is ice machine related.

leap years are on a regular basis.

[pacnw]

if the ice machine looks like this, why does anyone think the drink dispenser is any different?

I know I can taste the crap sometimes and I do not hesitate to tell the staff and anyone standing there as I do.

I wanna see one with frogs.
Does the ice taste like chicken?

[SFhvacguy]

The only place I eat ice is at the ice machines that I personally maintain, other than that, helllll no haha

[Toddbrewster]

And to think my wife and her family does not understand why I will not drink anything with ice in it unless its ice from my freezer!

[Warmaire]

Ya thats is ultra clean compared to some of the restaurants I've done in Temecula. It always has me wonder why the Health inspectors don't seem to check the ice makers.Yet they have A ratings in the window!! LOL

I love these restaurants.... We clean the machines on a regular basis... Wiping down the outside of the machine and bin is NOT cleaning the machine. I've seen machines so bad I've literally had to hose them down before I could clean them. Working in NYC, even the cleanest, "A" rated restaurants have filthy ice machines. The inspectors will shut you down for your lowboy running at 40 degrees... But they don't bother to open up the ice machine most of the time. Unreal.....
