# Rational Service 32.1: the gas burner is not working on a gas iCombi Pro

Gas iCombi Pro models heat with burners instead of elements.

## What Service 32.1 actually means.

Gas iCombi Pro models heat with burners instead of elements. Service 32.1 reports that a burner is not working correctly. Rational's instruction with this message is to close the shut-off valve on the gas line, and cooking is not possible.

What to do when Service 32.1 shows on the commercial appliance

### Kind of code Ignition and gas

The unit tried to light and never proved a flame, or lit and then lost it. On a fryer, a griddle, a combi or a gas tumbler the ordinary reasons come first: the gas valve at the unit left partly closed after cleaning, a quick-disconnect hose not fully seated, an igniter crusted with grease or lint, a flame sensor or thermopile that no longer reads the heat, or a draft from a hood or a door pulling the pilot away. Checking the valve and running the reset the manual names are fair; if you smell gas, get everyone out first, and the gas valve, the sensor and every fitting stay with a technician.

### Usually leads to Commercial cooking line gas repair

Griddles, charbroilers, restaurant ranges and hot tops: pilots, burners, orifices, valves and hoses, leak-checked after.

### Shows up as Commercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display

A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone.

### Make Rational

A Rational visit is timed after the evening cleaning cycle, when the cabinet is cool and the display can be read without a load inside.

### Source RATIONAL iCombi Pro floor units 20-1/1 and 20-2/1, original instructions for use (US English)

Gas iCombi Pro units only, per the gas section of the floor unit instructions (20-1/1 and 20-2/1, US English). Services 32.2, 32.3 and 33.1 to 33.3 carry the same wording and the same instruction.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Rational's own guidance for Service 32.1 on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the shut-off valve on the gas line to the oven, as the manual asks; do not open any fitting.

02

If you smell gas, do not switch lights or equipment on or off, open doors and windows, and leave the building to call the gas company or 911 from outside.

03

Book a visit and say it is a gas unit showing Service 32.1.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [commercial cooking line gas repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-cooking-line-gas-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

Service 32.1 is not the same as Service 60, which concerns starting up the ignition box and can clear after a restart. It is also not an electric unit message; electric iCombi Pro ovens do not show the 32 and 33 numbers.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about Service 32.1.

### Can I clear Service 32.1 myself?

Close the shut-off valve on the gas line to the oven, as the manual asks; do not open any fitting. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is the first step when a gas Rational displays Service 32.1?

Close the shut-off valve on the gas line to the oven, which is Rational's own instruction for this message. Then book a visit; the oven will not cook until a technician has checked the burner.

### Is Service 32.1 on a Rational a gas leak?

Not by itself; it reports a burner problem. If you also smell gas, treat it as an emergency: no switches, ventilate, get everyone out and call from outside.

### Why do Rational gas ovens have several burner numbers?

The manual lists 32.1 to 32.3 and 33.1 to 33.3 with the same wording. The number tells the technician which burner or which step failed, so read it out exactly when you book.
