faq

Commercial grill & griddle repair FAQs

Why is my commercial griddle not heating evenly?
Uneven heat is one of the most common complaints from restaurant owners. It usually happens because burners or elements are clogged with grease, carbon buildup, or food residue. Faulty thermostats and uneven plate leveling can also cause cold zones. Our technicians deep-clean the system, recalibrate temperature sensors, and ensure consistent heat distribution across the entire cooking surface — so every burger, pancake, or steak cooks evenly
Why won’t my grill or griddle turn on?
If your commercial griddle doesn’t power up or your grill fails to ignite, it may be an issue with the power source, tripped breaker, damaged wiring, or a faulty control board. For gas units, clogged pilot lines or broken igniters are common culprits. We perform a full electrical and gas safety inspection, repair wiring and ignition components, and ensure your unit is ready for continuous daily use.
What causes my grill to produce low flame or weak heat?
Low flame or poor heat output often means your burners or orifices are partially blocked, the gas pressure is too low, or the regulator is failing. It can also occur if the wrong orifice size was installed for your fuel type (natural gas vs. propane). We check the entire fuel line for leaks or restrictions and clean or replace components as needed to restore full BTU power and fast heat recovery.
How do I know if my griddle thermostat needs replacement?
If your griddle runs too hot, doesn’t reach set temperature, or fluctuates unpredictably, the thermostat is likely faulty. Over time, grease and heat can wear out internal sensors, leading to inaccurate readings. We test the thermostat’s accuracy, recalibrate where possible, or install a new OEM control for precise temperature management and consistent cooking results.
Why is my grill smoking excessively or setting off alarms?
Heavy smoke typically comes from grease buildup under the burners, blocked ventilation, or failing grease troughs and drains. In some cases, old or damaged radiants cause uneven flame spread, making food burn faster. We thoroughly clean your unit, repair or replace grease trays, and test exhaust airflow to eliminate smoke and restore safe, compliant kitchen conditions.
How often should I schedule professional maintenance for my griddle?
For most restaurants, we recommend full maintenance every 3–6 months. High-volume or 24/7 kitchens may need monthly tune-ups. Preventive service keeps burners clean, thermostats accurate, and ignition systems reliable — preventing costly breakdowns during peak hours. Regular care also extends equipment life and helps maintain energy efficiency
Why does my flat-top grill keep overheating even on low settings?
Overheating is often caused by a stuck thermostat relay or shorted control board sending constant power to the heating elements. In gas models, a faulty gas valve may be allowing too much fuel through. Our technicians test every temperature control component and replace damaged sensors or valves so your grill maintains steady, accurate heat levels throughout the day.
My griddle trips the breaker — what does that mean?
f your electric griddle keeps tripping a circuit breaker, it’s likely drawing too much current from a shorted heating element, damaged cord, or faulty switch. Continued use can pose an electrical hazard. We inspect the wiring, breakers, and grounding to isolate the problem and make safe, code-compliant repairs.
