What we repair
Fryer problems we handle every week
Most fryers fail in the same handful of places. We come prepared for those, and we tell you what we found before any work begins.
Thermostat & high-limit work
Replacement thermostats, high-limit thermostats and sensors that have drifted or tripped.
Pilot, igniter & gas valve faults
Gas fryers with a pilot that won't stay lit, a weak igniter, or a valve that isn't opening.
Heating elements & contactors
Electric fryers with a burned-out element, a stuck contactor, or a tripped breaker.
Leaking vats & drain valves
Vat leaks, worn drain valves, damaged gaskets and fittings that are losing oil.
Filtering & preventive service
Boil-outs, oil filtering, and scheduled check-ups that keep fryers out of trouble.

Common questions
Before you call
- Do you work on both gas and electric fryers?
- Yes. Gas fryers with pilots, igniters and gas valves, and electric fryers with elements, contactors and thermostats.
- Which kitchens do you cover?
- Restaurants and commercial kitchens in Columbia, SC and Lexington, SC, plus the surrounding midlands towns.
- What fryers do you service?
- Most fryers found in commercial kitchens, including floor models, countertop units, single and double vats, and open-pot designs.
- How do I get a price?
- We talk through the symptom first, then confirm the cost of the visit before we head out. Nothing starts without you agreeing to it.
- Can you help us keep fryers from breaking?
- Yes. Filtering, boil-outs and periodic check-ups catch worn parts before they take a fryer out of service on a busy night.
- What if the fryer can't be repaired?
- We'll tell you straight. If replacement makes more sense than repair, we'll explain why and what to look for in a new unit.
