Southbend commercial repair FAQ

Do you repair Southbend ranges in Minneapolis and St. Paul?
Yes. Southbend ranges, convection ovens and broilers are common calls across the Twin Cities.
My Southbend oven pilot keeps going out — why?
Usually a worn thermocouple or dirty pilot. It is normally a quick, one-visit repair.
What does Southbend repair cost?
$199 commercial trip fee, waived with repair, and a written quote first. 1-year warranty on parts and labor.
Do you service Southbend equipment under manufacturer warranty?
We are not a factory-authorized warranty servicer for Southbend. 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 Southbend 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 Southbend 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.
