Cooking Equipment Repair Needs in Southlake Restaurants and Kitchens

Commercial cooking lines in Southlake range from the full-service kitchens of Southlake Town Square, where about two dozen restaurants operate, to quick-service and casual spots along Southlake Boulevard and State Highway 114. Through lunch and dinner those lines lean on ranges, convection ovens, fryers, griddles and charbroilers, and the parts we replace most are igniters, thermostats, gas valves and the high-limit controls on fryers. A fryer that heats slowly or a griddle with cold spots usually points to one of them.

Hotel banquet kitchens typically run combi ovens, tilt skillets and holding cabinets that see bursts of heavy use followed by quiet stretches, while senior living kitchens cook steadily every day of the week. For any line, keep burners and pilot assemblies clean, boil out fryers on schedule, and shut off the gas supply if you smell gas. Gas, electrical and control repairs on commercial cooking equipment belong with a qualified technician.

The high-limit is a safety control that shuts the fryer down when oil gets too hot. Repeated trips usually mean the operating thermostat or temperature probe is reading wrong, or the oil level is low. Stop using the fryer until it is checked, since the high-limit is the last line of protection against an oil fire.

Yes. Senior living kitchens along State Highway 114 serve several meals a day, so a down oven or steam table affects every resident. We repair ranges, ovens, steamers, kettles and holding equipment in senior living and other institutional kitchens. Tell us which unit is down and what backup equipment you have.

Usually, yes. Most charbroiler repairs, such as burners, valves or pilot assemblies, require only that unit to be off and cooled. If the gas supply to the line has to be shut off for the repair, we tell you in advance so the kitchen can plan around it, ideally between lunch and dinner service.
