In a café or corner store the first suspect is the drink, not the machine. Product freezes correctly only in a narrow sugar band, roughly 13 to 15 percent Brix. Too much sugar acts as antifreeze and the bowl stays liquid; too much water freezes into a solid block that stalls the auger, trips the motor overload, and can snap the auger or the gear drive. A refractometer answers this in a minute. Newer dispensers set consistency by watching motor torque, so a thin mix fools the control into calling for more cold, and the machine looks broken while obeying.
Leaks belong to the wear parts: the seal on the drive shaft where it enters the bowl, the bowl gasket, and the tap plunger seals. They need food-grade lubricant at every cleaning; a leak that returns soon after a new seal points at a worn shaft rather than the seal.
The refrigeration side is stressed by where the machine lives. Condensers pull in dust, flour, and grease and need clearing regularly, monthly in a dusty room; a choked condenser, or a machine pushed flat against a wall, produces "not freezing" on the busiest afternoon, when the room is hottest.

Field notes for restaurant and facility managers in Greater Boston
Every ice crystal in a freezer was water vapor that rode in on warm air. Where the frost forms says whether the fault is the door, the defrost cycle or a frozen drain line.
A box at 44°F has already failed the standard even though nothing sounds broken. Doors, condensers, defrost faults and the temperature log that turns a slow drift into something you can see coming.
Of all the refrigeration in a kitchen, reach-ins live in the worst place. Why the condenser is almost always the cause, what the door and the loading add, and the thing nobody checks.
Washing and sanitizing are different operations with different numbers. What the Food Code requires for high-temp and low-temp machines, why scale kills them quietly, and when to stop running dishes.
Most agreements sound comprehensive and commit to very little. The named equipment list, the per-visit task sheet, a response window with a number in it, and the three places the money is genuinely saved.
Cloudy cubes, soft cubes and a harvest that drags all trace to the same two causes, and neither is the machine failing. Plus the four things about where the machine lives that quietly cost it capacity.
