About Pitco

Pitco (New Hampshire, part of Middleby) is a workhorse fryer brand in Twin Cities bars, restaurants and schools. Many units are simple millivolt fryers with a standing pilot and no electrical connection.

On millivolt Pitco fryers, a weak thermopile or dirty pilot causes most no-heat calls. On solid-state models we check ignition, probes and controllers.

Pitco commercial repair FAQ

My Pitco fryer pilot keeps going out — what's wrong?
On millivolt Pitco fryers it's usually a weak thermopile or a dirty pilot. It's typically a one-visit repair.
Do you repair Pitco Solstice fryers?
Yes, including ignition, controls and built-in filtration.
What does Pitco fryer repair cost?
$199 commercial trip fee, waived with repair, and a written quote before work. 1-year warranty.
Do you service Pitco equipment under manufacturer warranty?
We are not a factory-authorized warranty servicer for Pitco. If your unit is still inside the manufacturer parts warranty, we'll help you file with the factory; if labor or out-of-warranty service is the concern, we can take the call directly with a 1-year written warranty on our parts and labor.
What warranty comes with a Pitco repair?
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. Sealed-system components can carry an extended manufacturer warranty on top; those terms are itemized on the invoice.
What is the diagnostic fee for a Pitco commercial service call?
The commercial trip charge is $199 and it is waived with any repair — approve the work on the same visit and the fee comes off the invoice. Sealed-system, compressor, and major-component work is quoted in writing before we recover refrigerant or open the cabinet.
