If your equipment is down right now
Confirm the gas valve at the wall is open and the breaker is on. A recent hood fire-suppression test can shut off kitchen gas.
Take a picture of the control panel and any code. Combi ovens show specific fault codes that speed up diagnosis.
If the burner won't stay lit, stop after two tries. Repeated attempts can flood the burner with gas.
Call (651) 364-7466 and say the oven is down mid-service in Minneapolis.
FAQs
Yes. Minneapolis is on our daily route, so morning calls usually get a same-day visit. After-hours and weekend emergency service is also available.
The commercial trip fee is $199 and is waived when you approve the repair. Most oven repairs run $285–$985 all-in depending on the part — igniters and thermocouples at the low end, combi steam generators and controllers at the high end.
All of Minneapolis, including downtown, North Loop, Northeast, Uptown, Lyn-Lake, Dinkytown, Longfellow and Nokomis, plus nearby St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, Richfield and Edina.
The convection fan motor is the most common cause, followed by a thermostat that's out of calibration or a leaking door gasket. A tech checks fan speed and cavity temperatures at several points to find which.
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.
