If your equipment is down right now
Note the wash and final-rinse temperatures on the gauges. A low rinse reading points to the booster heater.
Pull and clean the scrap screens and pan strainers. Clogged screens starve the wash pump.
Confirm detergent, rinse-aid and sanitizer containers aren't empty and lines aren't kinked.
Call (651) 364-7466, give the brand and model, and tell us the machine is down in Minneapolis.
FAQs
Minneapolis is on our daily route, so morning calls usually get a same-day visit. Common parts like heating elements, solenoids and pump seals ride on the truck.
The booster heater is the usual cause — a burned-out element, a failed thermostat or high-limit, or a bad contactor. Low incoming water temperature can also be the problem, so the tech checks the supply first.
The trip fee is $199 and is waived when you approve the repair. Most repairs run $245–$885 all-in; we give you the price in writing before starting.
If the tank and frame are sound, repair is almost always cheaper. Replacement makes sense when the tank is rusted through or the machine needs several major parts at once. We'll give you both numbers.
Check your lease first — many leases require the leasing company's own service. For machines you own, including low-temp chemical units, we handle repairs directly.
Yes. We issue COIs naming your property manager, hospitality group, hospital facilities office, or municipal account as additional-insured at no charge — typically the same business day. General liability and workers' comp are in force year-round; we can raise limits per contract on request.
First visit is card-on-file or COD. Once an account is established, we invoice Net-15 or Net-30 with itemized statements aligned to your accounting cycle. We accept POs from restaurant groups, hotel brands, property management firms, school districts, and city and county accounts. ACH and card payments both fine.
Yes — quarterly, semi-annual, and annual PM plans tiered by equipment count and equipment class. Every visit includes condenser cleaning, drain flushing, gasket and hinge inspection, electrical-tightness verification, controller and setpoint check, and a written report you can hand to insurers, health inspectors, or franchisors.
Every technician holds EPA Section 608 Universal certification covering R-404A, R-448A / R-449A (Solstice N40, Opteon XP40), R-290 hydrocarbon systems where code permits, and legacy R-22. Cooking-equipment techs are gas-certified for natural gas and LP on ranges, fryers, ovens, and combi-ovens.
Yes. We coordinate dock and freight-elevator windows in advance, badge in through hotel or hospital engineering, and work around banquet, service-window, and clinical-department timing. Overnight and pre-open service is available when a daytime window won't work.
Yes — after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergency dispatch is available for refrigeration, ice, and warewashing failures across the Twin Cities metro. A published after-hours premium applies and is confirmed in writing before the tech leaves the shop.
A 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty on every commercial repair — the same failure mode, on the same unit, within 12 months is covered at no additional charge. Some sealed-system components carry an extended manufacturer warranty on top; those terms are itemized on the invoice.
Yes. Truck-mounted reach-ins, undercounter units, generator-fed ice machines, and mobile prep tables are all serviceable — we typically shop-visit at your commissary or overnight parking rather than roadside so the unit can stabilize before diagnosis.
Yes. Written estimates are issued before any sealed-system, compressor, or major-component work. On request we provide inspector-ready documentation: repair scope, part numbers, refrigerant type and charge, and the date service restored the unit to spec.
