Uneven Heating or Cold Spots
A griddle that cooks unevenly across the plate often points to a burner that isn't firing correctly, an uneven gas supply, or a thermostat that's no longer reading the surface accurately.

Repair It Guys repairs commercial griddles for restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout Tyler, Longview and East Texas — burners, valves, thermostats, igniters and electrical faults.
Commercial Griddle Repair
Your Line RunsOn the Flat-Top.
A griddle that won't hold temperature, heats unevenly, or won't light slows down every order that touches it. We diagnose the gas, electrical and control systems to find the actual cause.
From burners and gas valves to thermostats, igniters and grease troughs, we work through the parts of the griddle that actually affect cooking performance and safety.

Common Problems
Signs Your GriddleNeeds Attention.
Won't Reach or Hold Temperature
A plate that runs cool, cycles slowly, or can't keep up during a rush can involve the thermostat, control valve, burner or, on electric units, a heating element or contactor.
Pilot Won't Stay Lit
A pilot that lights but drops out is a common thermocouple or gas-valve symptom on gas griddles, and shouldn't be worked around by holding the knob down repeatedly.
Igniter Clicks But Won't Light
A clicking igniter with no flame can point to a gas supply issue, a fouled or misaligned igniter, or a safety valve that isn't opening.
Grease Trough Overflow or Slow Drainage
A grease trough that backs up or overflows is a slip and fire-safety concern, and is often a clogged drain or a trough that needs to be cleared and serviced.
Electrical Faults on Electric Griddles
Tripped breakers, a griddle that won't power on, or a control panel that's acting erratically point to the electrical and control side of the unit rather than the cooking surface itself.
What We Check
Four Systems.One Diagnosis.
Griddle problems can come from the gas or electrical side, the controls, or the plate and drainage itself. We test each relevant system rather than guessing at parts.
Gas Supply & Ignition
Gas pressure, valves, pilot assemblies, thermocouples and igniters on gas-fired griddles.
Temperature Control
Thermostats, control valves and high-limit switches that regulate and protect the cooking surface.
Electrical Systems
Heating elements, contactors, control boards and wiring on electric griddles.
Plate & Drainage
Cooking surface condition, grease troughs and drain lines that affect both performance and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Griddle Questions
Straightforward answers for restaurant owners and commercial kitchen managers.
Uneven heat is usually a burner, gas-supply or thermostat problem on gas griddles, or a heating-element or control problem on electric units. We test the relevant system to find which one is actually causing it.
It's a sign something in the gas or safety-valve system isn't working correctly. Continuing to relight it manually can mask a problem that needs a real repair, so it's worth having it diagnosed rather than worked around.
Yes. We diagnose and repair gas griddles — burners, valves, pilots and igniters — as well as electric griddles, including heating elements, contactors and controls.
That depends on the age of the unit, the cost of the failed part, and how the repair compares to replacement. We diagnose the actual problem first and explain the practical options before any work begins.
Yes — restaurants, schools, churches and other commercial kitchens throughout Tyler, Longview and the surrounding East Texas communities we serve.
