About Food Warmer Repair

Food warmers and holding cabinets keep prepared food at safe serving temperatures throughout service periods. Failures can result in food waste, health code violations, and service disruptions. Our technicians repair all types of commercial food warmers including heated holding cabinets, drawer warmers, heat lamps, heated display cases, and soup warmers from brands like Alto-Shaam, Hatco, and APW Wyott. Proper hot holding requires maintaining food at 140°F or above — our technicians calibrate and verify all equipment against food safety standards and provide documentation for health inspection records.

Food Warmer Repair FAQs

What should I do if I smell gas in my commercial kitchen?

1) Do NOT operate any electrical switches, phones inside, or create any sparks. 2) Evacuate all staff and customers immediately. 3) Call 911 from outside the building. 4) Call your gas company's emergency line. 5) Do NOT re-enter until emergency responders clear the building. 6) Contact a certified kitchen equipment technician to inspect and repair gas connections before reopening. Gas leaks can cause explosions — always take them seriously.

Why does my fryer keep tripping the hi-limit switch?

The hi-limit switch is a safety device that cuts power when fryer temperature exceeds safe limits. Common causes: faulty thermostat allowing oil to overheat, failing hi-limit switch itself, improper temperature settings, low oil level exposing heating elements, or carbon buildup insulating heating elements. Never bypass the hi-limit switch — it prevents fires. Call a technician to diagnose the root cause.
