Brands we work on
Independent service, not tied to any manufacturer.
A diagnosis first, then a price you can turn down
We're an independent repair company, not a Scotsman service center. That works two ways: we can look at a Scotsman appliance once the factory warranty has run out, and if yours is still covered, Scotsman should hear from you first. Out of coverage, our technician visits, identifies the failed component and prices the fix before ordering anything.

Scotsman repair: common questions
Plain answers on Scotsman repair: what to have ready, how the visit runs and how the price gets agreed.
Ready to get it looked at?
A technician comes to your home anywhere in our service area and diagnoses your Scotsman appliance on the spot. You see the price before any work starts.
No. We work independently of Scotsman and every other maker. While Scotsman's factory coverage is still active, Scotsman should handle the fix at its own cost. After that coverage lapses, book with us.
Every part is looked up by model number. Scotsman-made parts come first when Scotsman still sells them; anything from another supplier is flagged to you ahead of installation.
The Scotsman appliance types listed on this page: ice maker. Each one has its own page with the symptoms we diagnose.
For a Scotsman unit in a working kitchen, downtime counts as much as the part. The diagnosis gives you the repair price and our view on whether the Scotsman is worth it; you decide.
Look for the model number on the appliance itself: on a Scotsman ice maker, the data plate on the cabinet's back or behind the lower panel. A phone photo of that label is fine, plus a line about the symptom.

We repair Scotsman appliances in homes across Charlotte and the rest of Mecklenburg County, covering the Scotsman ice maker. Every Scotsman visit starts with a diagnosis, and you approve the price before work begins.
Three points on Scotsman. To start, scale is the main enemy of a Scotsman, as with any ice machine, and regular descaling is what stretches its working life. Next, Scotsman, owned by Ali Group, makes ice machines in several formats, including nugget, flake and cube, and each format has its own evaporator and harvest mechanism. Last, Scotsman nugget and flake machines push ice through the evaporator with an auger, so auger bearings and gearmotors are wear parts that a cube machine doesn't have.
Not every brand makes every appliance. The Scotsman categories here are the ones Scotsman really produces.
The engineering behind Scotsman
Scotsman runs its own designs, with its own fault codes and test procedures. Diagnosing one well means working from Scotsman's service information for that model, not from habits picked up on other brands.
Keeping Scotsman equipment in service
Refrigeration and ice in a food business carry a food-safety duty, so a Scotsman repair in Charlotte ends with confirming the unit holds temperature, and you get a note of what was found and corrected for your records.
Scotsman builds for continuous duty and expects to be repaired, not replaced, so most failures are worth fixing.
Scotsman equipment in Charlotte homes
Cooling equipment from Scotsman works hardest in July and August, when warm rooms and dusty condensers push run times up.
Parts for Scotsman appliances
Parts are matched to the Scotsman model number. We use manufacturer parts where they're available, and if we have to use an equivalent, we say so before it goes in.
Lake homes and second homes
A Scotsman in a Lake Norman or Mountain Island Lake house that sits empty for weeks can develop problems nobody sees until the next visit: a dry ice maker, a stale washer, a refrigerator that quit during an outage.
Scheduling a Scotsman visit
Send the Scotsman model number through the form, or call, along with a line or two about the symptom. A photo of the model label works just as well.
