Step 1Initial diagnosis
We thoroughly assess your machine to identify faults and whether repairs are economically viable. If not, we’ll tell you and reduce the service cost accordingly.
Repairs & servicing
Hands-on with slush machines since 2017. We restore tired, faulty machines to full working order — servicing can cost as little as 10% of a new unit.

Our service process
We service machines bought from Rico’s Slushies or recognised brands (not unbranded or replica machines).
Step 1
Step 2Clean & cleanse
A deep internal and external clean removes syrup residue, grease and dust. We straighten bent condenser fins and check for previous leaks or damage.
Step 3Repair
Confirmed faults are repaired and parts replaced as needed. We contact you for approval before replacing any unapproved components.
Step 4Reassembly
We rebuild the machine to factory-standard precision.
Step 5Testing
Continuous testing with slush product — at your location or ours — to ensure reliability. On-site servicing uses a shorter test cycle to confirm function.
Step 6Final clean
A final clean removes any testing residue so your machine comes back ready to serve.
