Ten repairs we take on. Each repair on this list has a page of its own: the part of the equipment that actually gets replaced or rebuilt, how that job compares with the others, and when a unit that has run too many shifts is no longer worth the part and belongs on the replacement budget instead. Familiar brands. Expert care. ## For the brands in your back of house. Independent repair service. Not affiliated with, authorized or endorsed by any manufacturer. Brand names and model numbers are the property of their respective owners and are used here for identification only, to describe the appliances we service.

Diagnostic fee ### Commercial appliance diagnostic visit One visit finding why a cooler, fryer, oven, dish machine or laundry machine stopped earning its keep. Cost: moderate to highest ### Walk-in cooler repair Walk-in coolers and freezers back to temperature: evaporators, fans, defrost, drain heaters, condensing units and doors. Cost: moderate ### Reach-in and prep table repair Reach-ins, pass-throughs, prep tables and blast chillers: gaskets, hinges, fans, thermostats, condensers and compressors. Cost: low to moderate ### Commercial fryer repair Gas and electric fryers back on the line: pilots, ignition, thermostats, high-limits, elements and filter pumps. Cost: moderate to highest ### Commercial oven and combi oven repair Convection, combi and rapid-cook ovens, steamers and kettles: blowers, steam generators, probes, igniters and controllers. Cost: low to moderate ### Commercial cooking line gas repair Griddles, charbroilers, restaurant ranges and hot tops: pilots, burners, orifices, valves and hoses, leak-checked after. Cost: moderate ### Dish machine repair Undercounter, door-type and conveyor dish machines: tank heaters, boosters, wash pumps, fill and drain valves. Cost: moderate ### Commercial laundry machine repair Coin, card and on-premise laundry machines and tumblers: door locks, bearings, inverters, burners and payment hardware. Cost: moderate ### Commercial controls and board repair Controllers, touch panels, relays, contactors and interlocks tested, and replaced only when the evidence says so. Cost: lowest ### Commercial preventive maintenance plan Scheduled visits across cold, cooking, warewashing and laundry: coils, gaskets, calibration, gas checks and a written log. Before you book ### What each of these usually costs Bands rather than prices, because nobody can quote a figure before the commercial appliance has been looked at — and the diagnostic visit that decides it, set against the repair. 10 repairs Cheapest first Diagnostic visit Read the cost guide ## What a repair usually costs. Weigh a repair against what a replacement truly costs the business, not just the catalog figure for a new unit. A new walk-in condensing unit, fryer battery, combi oven or dish machine also means delivery, the gas, water, drain or electrical connection, sometimes a hood or permit check, staff learning a new controller, and the shifts the station is down while you wait for it. Set beside that, gaskets, fans, thermostats, pilots, door locks and fill valves are small, and most mid-size repairs still win. The balance turns when a unit has had several major repairs in a year, runs on a refrigerant or a controller the maker no longer supports, or has a tank, shell or drum that is failing; then the technician writes out both sums, with the downtime each one costs, and the choice is yours. A preventive maintenance plan is the cheapest way to move repairs off the busy nights. [Commercial appliance diagnostic visit](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/diagnostic-visit/): Commercial equipment is priced after it has been tested on site. [Read the full cost guide](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/cost/) | Repair | Relative cost | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | [Walk-in evaporator fan, defrost heater or drain line heater, door gasket, frame heater, expansion valve, leak repair, compressor or condensing unit](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/walk-in-cooler-repair/) | moderate to highest | An evaporator fan motor, a new door gasket or a defrost termination switch is the lighter end. A defrost heater set, a frame heater or an expansion valve sits in the middle, and a leak found, repaired and recharged, or a compressor or a whole condensing unit on the roof, is the top of the scale. | | [Reach-in, pass-through or prep table gasket, hinge, fan motor, thermostat or controller, defrost heater, leak repair or compressor](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/reach-in-and-prep-table-repair/) | moderate | A cleaned condenser, a gasket or a hinge cam is modest. A fan motor, a thermostat or a controller with its probe comes next, and a leak repair with a recharge or a compressor in a self-contained cabinet is the fuller job. | | [Fryer pilot assembly, thermopile, thermostat or probe, high-limit, gas valve, ignition module, element, contactor or filter pump motor](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-fryer-repair/) | low to moderate | A thermopile, a pilot assembly or a high-limit is the small end. A thermostat, a probe or an ignition module is a step up, and a gas valve, an element set or a filtration pump motor sits at the top. | | [Convection or combi blower motor, door switch or gasket, igniter or element, core probe, level probe, steam generator or controller](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-oven-and-combi-repair/) | moderate to highest | A door gasket, a door switch or a probe is the lighter work. A blower motor, an igniter or an element comes next, and a steam generator, a descaling job that has gone too far or a main controller on a combi is the largest repair on this page. | | [Cooking line pilot, thermocouple, burner or orifice, safety valve, griddle thermostat, regulator or quick-disconnect hose, leak-checked](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-cooking-line-gas-repair/) | low to moderate | Cleaning a pilot or a burner and replacing a thermocouple is modest. A safety valve, a griddle thermostat or a regulator is in the middle, and several sections of a line, or a new hose with its restraint cable, make the fuller job. | | [Dish machine tank heater or booster element, thermostat, fill valve, float switch, drain valve, wash pump seal or motor, conveyor drive](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/dish-machine-repair/) | moderate | A fill valve, a float switch or a drain valve is the small end. A tank heater, a booster element or a pump seal is a step up, and a wash pump motor, a booster tank or a conveyor drive on a long machine is the top of the band. | | [Laundry machine door lock, belt, bearings and seal, drain valve, inverter or motor; tumbler igniter, flame sensor, gas valve coil or airflow switch](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-laundry-machine-repair/) | moderate | A door lock, a belt, a drain valve cleared of coins or a tumbler igniter is the lighter end. An airflow switch, a gas valve coil or a payment reader sits in the middle, and bearings with the tub seal, an inverter or a drive motor is the fuller job. | | [Controller, touch panel, probe or sensor, relay, contactor, power supply, door switch or interlock, tested before anything is changed](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-controls-and-board-repair/) | moderate | A probe, a door switch or a contactor is modest. A relay board or a power supply is in the middle, and a main controller or a touch panel, set back up with your setpoints and cycle values, is the dearest part here. | | [Scheduled maintenance visit: coils and drains cleaned, gaskets and doors checked, thermostats calibrated, gas leak check, temperatures logged](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/preventive-maintenance-plan/) | lowest | A routine maintenance visit per unit is the smallest item on this page. Worn parts found along the way are quoted as their own repair, and nothing is replaced during the visit before you agree. | ## Start from what you noticed Most people arrive knowing the symptom, not the repair.

Which commercial service do I pick? Choose the diagnostic visit and describe what the box, the vat, the cavity, the rinse or the drum is doing. Matching it to one of the repairs on this page is our job once the unit has been run in front of the technician, and nothing is priced or ordered before that. ### Two units on the line are acting up. Can one visit cover both? Usually, and it saves a second trip fee. Tell us about both in the booking so the right parts and enough time are planned. Each repair is priced on its own, and the business can approve one, both or neither. ### Where can I compare what these commercial repairs cost? Replacing a reach-in door gasket and swapping a walk-in compressor on a roof are nothing alike. The cost page ranks the repairs from light to heavy, and the diagnosis shows where yours sits. ### Does the technician carry commercial parts, or come back later? Gaskets, thermostats, high-limits, thermopiles, igniters, common probes, fan motors and contactors often ride on the truck, and a model and serial in the booking raise the odds. A compressor, a steam generator, a model-specific controller, a wash pump or a laundry drive motor is ordered after the diagnosis and fitted on a return visit, scheduled around your service. --- **[Read on the site: Commercial Appliance Repair Services — What We Do](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/)** **[Book a visit with CommercialApplianceRepair.center](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/schedule/)**
