Standalone commercial appliance repair across Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. Ice machines, commercial dishwashers, ranges, fryers, and refrigeration. I do not work on walk-in coolers or walk-in freezers.
I service standalone commercial equipment you find in restaurants, bars, bakeries, and small kitchens: ice machines (undercounter and countertop), commercial dishwashers, commercial gas ranges and fryers, standalone commercial refrigerators and freezers, commercial microwaves, and commercial ovens. Water quality and heavy duty cycle are the two biggest drivers of premature commercial failure, so I check filtration and condenser coil condition on almost every service call. I am EPA 608 Type I certified for sealed-system refrigerant work on ice and refrigeration. What I do not work on: walk-in refrigerators and walk-in freezers. If you are not sure whether your unit fits what I cover, give me a call and I will tell you straight before I roll.
Before you call, a few things are worth a quick try. If any of these fixes it, you save a service call. If not, give me a ring.
Use a fin comb and coil brush on air-cooled refrigeration and ice machines. This single task doubles compressor life. Restaurant grease and flour pack coils within 60 to 90 days.
Every 6 months minimum for ice and steam equipment, every 12 months for dish boosters. No filtration voids most warranties.
Hoshizaki quarterly. Hobart daily rinse and weekly deliming. Follow the manual exactly.
Dollar-bill test. Replace immediately if it slips out without resistance. A bad gasket on a commercial fridge adds 20 to 30 percent to run time.
Most manufacturers specify daily filter and weekly full boil-out. Oil contamination drives high-limit-switch nuisance trips.
A common source of control-board damage on commercial dish, ice, and refrigeration.
A few signals mean stop using the appliance and call a technician. If you see or smell any of these, unplug the unit and reach out.
Average Service Life
Varies 3 to 20 years by category
Commercial fryers run 10 to 12 years, reach-in refrigeration 10 to 15, under-counter dishwashers 10 to 15, ice machines 7 to 10, gas ranges and ovens 15 to 20, and commercial microwaves a short 3 to 5 due to heavy duty cycle. Commercial replacement cost is high enough that repairs retain value longer than residential. I use a 60 to 70 percent rule on equipment past rated life rather than the 50 percent residential rule. Hoshizaki, Sub-Zero, Hobart, Traulsen, and Wolf commercial lines routinely justify repair past rated life because of parts support and build quality.
I service all major brands. If I can get the parts, I can fix it. Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Maytag, Bosch, and more. No brand is too obscure.
