About Follett

Follett (Pennsylvania, part of Middleby) is best known for Chewblet nugget ice, used widely in Twin Cities hospitals, clinics, offices and restaurants.

Nugget ice machines use an auger, so wear on the auger, bearings and gearmotor — plus scale from hard water — drives most repairs. Regular cleaning prevents many failures.

Follett commercial repair FAQ

Do you repair Follett nugget ice machines?
Yes — augers, bearings, gearmotors, sensors and dispensers on Follett nugget ice machines and countertop dispensers.
How often should a nugget ice machine be cleaned?
Most commercial ice machines should be cleaned and sanitized at least every six months, and more often with hard water or heavy use. See our ice machine cleaning page.
What does Follett repair cost?
$199 commercial trip fee, waived with repair, and a written quote first. 1-year warranty.
Do you service Follett equipment under manufacturer warranty?
We are not a factory-authorized warranty servicer for Follett. If your unit is still inside the manufacturer parts warranty, we'll help you file with the factory; if labor or out-of-warranty service is the concern, we can take the call directly with a 1-year written warranty on our parts and labor.
What warranty comes with a Follett repair?
A 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty on every commercial repair. The same failure mode on the same unit within 12 months is covered at no additional charge. Sealed-system components can carry an extended manufacturer warranty on top; those terms are itemized on the invoice.
What is the diagnostic fee for a Follett commercial service call?
The commercial trip charge is $199 and it is waived with any repair — approve the work on the same visit and the fee comes off the invoice. Sealed-system, compressor, and major-component work is quoted in writing before we recover refrigerant or open the cabinet.
