Cooking Equipment Repair Needs in Dallas Restaurants and Kitchens
The October 2019 tornado that crossed North Dallas damaged the shopping center at the southeast corner of Preston Road and Royal Lane, and owner Regency Centers rebuilt part of it. Kitchens there and in other newer spaces often run fairly recent equipment, where problems tend to involve controls, igniters and thermostats rather than worn-out burners. NorthPark Center, open since 1965, and Galleria Dallas, open since 1982, host restaurants with long hours and heavy volume that wear equipment steadily.
Fryers, ranges, griddles, charbroilers and combi ovens each have their own weak points. Fryer thermostats and high-limit switches drift, pilot assemblies on ranges clog with grease, and combi ovens develop scale in their steam generators. Daily cleaning and regular boil-outs help. If you smell gas, see a flame that will not stay lit or notice a fryer heating past its setting, shut the unit down and call. Gas and high-voltage repairs belong with a technician.
Our Plano-based technicians cover North Dallas and nearby neighborhoods, from Preston Center and the Preston Road, Northwest Highway and Lovers Lane corridors to Preston Hollow, Bluffview, Devonshire, Prestonwood, Bent Tree, Lakewood and Turtle Creek.

Turn the fryer off and keep staff away from it. A fryer that overheats may have a failed thermostat or high-limit switch, and continuing to use it is a fire risk. Let the oil cool before anyone moves the unit. A technician can test the controls and safety devices before it goes back into service.
Yes. Combi ovens are common in busy mall and hotel kitchens. Scale in the steam generator, failed water valves and probe errors are frequent problems. Share the brand, model and any error codes, and let us know about mall access rules or loading dock hours so the visit runs smoothly.
Yes. Tell us when your kitchen is busiest and when equipment can be shut down and cooled. Cooking equipment needs to be cool before most repairs can start, so morning or mid-afternoon visits often work best. We will let you know if a part needs to be ordered.
