Do you service commercial kitchen equipment?
Yes. Central Minnesota Appliance Repair services light-commercial and small-business equipment including reach-in coolers and freezers, prep-table refrigerators, under-counter units, ice machines, commercial dishwashers, commercial ovens, ranges, fryers, and commercial laundry equipment in restaurants, cafés, bars, food trucks, hotels, offices, and break rooms.
How fast can you respond to a commercial repair call?
We prioritize commercial accounts because downtime costs money and risks food spoilage. Same-day appointments are often available across Minneapolis, St. Paul, the Twin Cities, and Western Wisconsin when you call early in the day. Emergency dispatch is offered for refrigeration failures.
Do you work on walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers?
We service most light-commercial walk-in cooler and freezer issues including temperature problems, fan failures, defrost issues, door and gasket repairs, drain clearing, and basic sealed-system diagnosis. For large industrial refrigeration racks we'll refer you to a commercial refrigeration specialist.
How much does commercial appliance repair cost?
Diagnostic is $189 for commercial accounts and is waived when you approve the repair. Most standard commercial repairs fall between $280 and $780 total, depending on the appliance, parts, and labor. Sealed-system and control-board repairs are quoted in writing before any work begins.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Quarterly and semi-annual preventive maintenance plans are available for restaurants and small businesses, with plans starting at $99/month. Plans typically include condenser cleaning, gasket inspection, temperature calibration, ice machine cleaning, and a written equipment report so you can budget for replacements before they fail. Custom packages are also available for clients with many commercial appliances.
Do you carry parts for commercial brands?
Our trucks stock common parts for True, Traulsen, Beverage-Air, Continental, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, Hobart, Vulcan, Garland, and similar brands. Less common parts are sourced through OEM and authorized distributors, usually within 24–72 hours.
Can you invoice my business and accept POs?
Yes. We invoice commercial accounts on Net-15 or Net-30 terms after the first paid visit, and we accept purchase orders from established restaurant groups, hotels, property managers, and municipal accounts.
Are your technicians insured for commercial work?
Yes. Our technicians are licensed, insured, and EPA Section 608 certified for refrigerant work. Certificates of insurance can be issued to property managers and hospitality groups on request.
Do you offer emergency commercial refrigeration repair?
Yes. Commercial refrigeration failures get front-of-line dispatch during our hours (Mon–Sun, 7am–9pm).

If your product is inside the HACCP 41°F / 4-hour window, tell us when you call and we'll triage accordingly.

How much does it cost to repair a commercial ice machine?
Most Twin Cities commercial ice machine repairs run $320–$780 in parts and labor after the $189 trip fee, depending on the brand and the part.

Full sealed-system work (compressor, condenser) is quoted in writing.
How long does a commercial repair take?
Most light-commercial repairs are completed in a single 1–3 hour visit because our trucks stock the failure-prone parts (fan motors, defrost components, drain pumps, ignition controllers, common control boards). Repairs requiring OEM-ordered parts typically finish on a second visit 24–72 hours later.
What happens if my product spoils during a refrigeration failure?
We can't reimburse for spoiled product, but we can help document the failure for your insurance claim — controller readings, internal temps, timestamps, and a written diagnosis identifying the failed component. Our maintenance plans are designed to catch the conditions that cause spoilage (failing condenser fans, clogged coils, weak gaskets) before they fail.
Do you service Hobart, Hoshizaki, and Manitowoc?
Yes — Hobart commercial dishwashers, Hoshizaki and Manitowoc ice machines, Vulcan and Garland ranges, True and Traulsen reach-ins, Beverage-Air back-bar coolers, and most other commercial brands. OEM parts are stocked on the truck for common failures and sourced through authorized distributors for less common parts.
Do you repair commercial gas ranges and ovens?
Yes. We service commercial gas ranges, convection ovens, combi ovens, and pizza ovens — ignition controllers, gas valves, thermostats, convection fan motors, and combi steam generators. Gas-line modifications outside the appliance are handled by a licensed plumber.
Where are you located and how far do you travel?
