Burner Won't Light or Flame Is Uneven
On gas grills and charbroilers, this can involve the igniter, pilot assembly, gas valve, or clogged burner ports. We test the ignition system on the actual unit to find the fault.

Commercial Grill & Charbroiler Repair
Even Heat,Every Grate.
A grill or charbroiler that won't light, heats unevenly, or recovers slowly during service can involve the burner or heating element, heat-distribution components, or the gas supply, depending on the unit. We inspect and test the equipment directly to determine the actual cause.
Gas and electric units, and grate-style versus radiant designs, are built differently — we work through the systems specific to your unit rather than a generic checklist.

Common Problems
Signs Your GrillNeeds Attention.
Electric Element Won't Heat
On electric grills, this can involve the heating element, a control switch, or a wiring fault. Identifying which one requires testing the unit's electrical system directly.
Slow Heat Recovery During Service
A unit that takes too long to recover heat between orders can involve burner output, gas pressure, or element wear. We test heat recovery under load to determine the cause.
Grates or Radiants Warped or Damaged
Warped grates or damaged radiants affect how heat reaches the food and are inspected alongside the heat source when diagnosing cooking problems.
Uneven Cooking Surface Temperature
Depending on the model, uneven heat can involve burner alignment, the condition of radiants or lava rock, or a calibration issue. Inspecting the specific unit determines which applies.
Grease or Drip Pan Overflow
Overflow can involve a clogged drain path or a pan that isn't sized or positioned correctly for the unit. We check both during a service visit to determine the cause.
