Repair vs. replace
Why commercial repair pays back fast
Fryer down = no french fries, no wings, no walked tickets
In quick-serve and taproom kitchens, the fryer runs the ticket line. Commercial fryer calls are dispatched same-day when placed before 11am. After-hours available.
Gas-certified — thermopile, safety valve, combustion
Every gas-fryer repair is done by a gas-certified tech. Thermopiles, safety valves, and combustion tuning are core competencies, not sub-contracted.
Filtration and oil-management save the fry cost
A working built-in filter extends oil life 40–60% and improves the food. Pump seals, filter-pan gaskets, and hose replacement are truck-stocked.
Hi-limit reset before a full service call
Roughly 20% of 'fryer not heating' calls resolve with a hi-limit reset when the pot ran empty. We'll walk you through the reset on the phone before dispatching if that's the likely cause.

If your equipment is down right now
If your commercial fryer is not heating
1. Verify gas supply or breaker
For gas fryers, confirm the manifold shutoff is open and the pilot lit if applicable. For electric, verify the breaker or fused disconnect.
2. Reset the hi-limit if it tripped
If the pot ran empty or oil got very hot, the high-limit thermostat trips. Locate the red reset button behind the controller panel and press firmly. If it clicks and re-heats, monitor closely.
3. Check the ignition module and pilot
For gas fryers, listen for the sparker cycling. No spark or no pilot flame usually means the ignition module or thermopile has failed.
4. Call commercial dispatch — gas-certified
(651) 364-7466. Tell dispatch the fryer is out mid-service and we triage front-of-line.
FAQs
Common questions from operators
My gas fryer's pilot lights but the burner won't stay on — what is it?
Almost always a failed thermopile or a marginal safety valve — the pilot lights but the mV signal to the gas valve is too weak to hold the main burner open. We carry OEM thermopiles for Frymaster, Pitco, Vulcan, and Anets on the truck.
How much does a commercial fryer element replacement cost?
Electric fryer element replacement typically runs $385–$685 depending on model — Frymaster and Pitco elements are stocked. Includes element, seal kit, contactor check, and probe calibration.
