Cooking Equipment Repair Needs in Colleyville Restaurants and Kitchens

Restaurant kitchens along Colleyville Boulevard cook mostly with gas, and the same handful of faults keep showing up: pilots that keep going out, worn thermocouples, sticking gas valves, fryers that shut off on the high-limit control and griddles with a cool patch. In a smaller kitchen with one fryer and one range, losing either can take dishes off the menu for the night. Anything involving the gas valve, regulator or burners is a job for a technician.

Convection ovens, combi ovens and countertop equipment are common in cafes, bakeries and prepared-food counters, and their weak points are blower motors, door switches, temperature controls and, on combis, the steam generator. Combi ovens also scale up quickly with moderately hard water unless they are descaled or filtered. Wiping grease off the control panels, cleaning daily and switching the hood on before any burner is lit all extend equipment life. When you call, describe the unit, read us the make and model number, and note whether it is a gas or electric model.

Common problems

What’s Wrong With Your Commercial Cooking Equipment?

The cooking equipment problems we see most often, and the parts a technician checks first for each one.

SymptomCommon causes a technician checksGuide
Fryer won’t heat or won’t lightPilot or ignition failure, failed thermocouple or thermopile, gas valve, tripped high-limit, thermostat or controller fault; on electric fryers, failed elements or contactors

Check the oil with a separate thermometer. If the oil is smoking, shut the fryer off and call.

Schedule a diagnosis
Oven not heating or baking unevenlyFailed igniter or hot surface igniter, gas valve, thermostat, convection fan motor, worn door gasket or hinges, failed elements

It may be the high-limit switch, which shuts the fryer down if the oil overheats, or a weak thermocouple that drops the pilot. A thermostat reading high can trip the high limit too. Note when it shuts off and whether the pilot stays lit. Because gas and hot oil are involved, testing and replacing these parts belongs with a technician.

Yes. Combi ovens make steam, and minerals in moderately hard water build up in the steam generator, probes and spray nozzles. Many manufacturers recommend a water filter and a regular descaling program. If the oven shows a scale or water error, or steam output drops, descaling is the first step before parts are replaced.

Shut the equipment down and, if you can do so safely, close its gas valve. Do not flip switches or use any flame, and clear staff from the area. From outside, phone the gas utility or 911. After they have cleared the building, we can find and fix the fault in the equipment. Never relight a unit until the source of the smell is found.
