Commercial Kitchen Equipment
Repair It Guys repairs commercial fryers for restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout Tyler, Longview and East Texas — heat source, temperature control, ignition and safety systems.
Commercial Fryer Repair
A fryer that won't hold temperature, recovers slowly, or shuts off during service can involve the heat source, controls, or a safety system depending on how the unit is built. We inspect and test the fryer directly to determine the actual cause.
Gas and electric fryers use different heat sources and ignition or control systems — we work through the systems specific to your unit rather than a generic checklist.

Fryer diagnosis and repair.
Common Problems
Oil that won't come up to temperature or won't hold it can involve the thermostat, a gas burner or electric heating element, or a high-limit safety switch, depending on how the fryer is built. We test the relevant components to find which one is responsible.
A fryer that takes longer than it should to recover temperature after a basket drop can involve burner output, gas pressure, or a control component. Identifying which one requires testing the fryer under load.
An igniter that clicks without lighting, a pilot that won't stay lit, or a burner that won't fire are gas-supply and ignition-system symptoms specific to gas fryers. Each can originate in a different part of that system, which we isolate through testing.
Fryers with digital controls display fault codes tied to their own sensor and safety systems, which vary by manufacturer. We diagnose the underlying condition rather than just clearing the code.
A leak or a drain that doesn't run clean can involve the drain valve, a filtration system connection, or the kettle itself, depending on the fryer's design. We inspect the relevant parts to identify the source.
An unexpected shutdown can involve a tripped high-limit switch, a wiring or control fault, or a gas safety shutoff. Which one applies depends on the fryer type and is confirmed by testing.
What We Check
Fryer problems can come from the heat source, the controls, a safety system, or the oil-handling components. We test each relevant system to find what's actually wrong.
Gas burners and ignition systems, or electric heating elements, depending on the fryer type.
Thermostats, temperature probes and control boards that regulate oil temperature.
High-limit switches and gas safety shutoffs that protect the unit and the kitchen.
Drain valves, filtration connections and kettle condition affecting oil flow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers for restaurant owners and commercial kitchen managers.
Yes. The heat source and controls differ between gas and electric fryers, and we diagnose and repair both within our commercial kitchen equipment service.
Several systems can produce this symptom. Depending on whether the fryer is gas or electric, the heat source, the thermostat, or a control component could each be involved. We test the actual unit to determine which one before recommending a repair.
Digital fryer controls display fault codes tied to their own sensor and safety systems, which vary by manufacturer. We diagnose the underlying condition rather than just clearing the code.
On many models, a high-limit safety switch will shut the fryer down when it registers a temperature outside a safe range. Whether that's the actual issue, or something else, depends on inspecting the unit.
Yes — restaurants, schools, churches and other commercial kitchens throughout Tyler, Longview and the surrounding East Texas communities we serve.
