Common problems we repair

Pilot will not light or will not stay lit

Thermopile, thermocouple, pilot orifice or a gas valve fault. The most common fryer call.

Burners light but oil will not reach temperature

Weak gas valve, dirty burners, a failed thermostat or a combination valve losing pressure.

Oil overheating or high-limit tripping

Thermostat out of calibration or failed, a stuck gas valve, or on electric units a welded contactor.

Electric fryer not heating

Burned-out element, failed contactor, control board or a tripped breaker on the supply side.

Gas smell or delayed ignition

Ignition module, spark electrode or a burner that lights late. We shut the unit down and check it safely.

Oil leaking from the drain valve or vat

Worn drain valve, a failed weld on the vat, loose fittings.

A restaurant with one fryer down is a restaurant with a shorter menu. A kitchen with a bank of five or six fryers loses part of its line every time one drops out. Fix Time Appliance Repair repairs commercial deep fryers at restaurants, fast-food kitchens, bars and cafeterias across the Santa Clarita Valley, the San Fernando Valley, Burbank and Glendale.

Fryers are not complicated, but they are unforgiving: a pilot that will not stay lit, a thermopile or thermocouple that has weakened, a gas valve that will not open, a thermostat that lets the oil overshoot, a high-limit switch that trips, or, on electric units, a heating element or contactor that has failed. Many repair companies do not carry fryer parts or the tools to work on them, so the unit sits. We bring both.

Send a photo of the data plate and tell us whether the fryer is gas or electric, tube-type or open-pot. That is usually enough to bring the right part.

What we work on

How a service call works

  1. Call or send a request

    Tell us the equipment, the symptom and the address. A photo of the data plate helps us bring the right part.

  2. On-site diagnosis

    The technician comes to your business Monday through Saturday and checks the whole system, not only the part that looks broken.

  3. Price before the repair

    You get the repair price after the diagnosis and approve it before any work starts.

  4. Repair and test

    Common parts are on the truck; special-order parts get a lead time. We confirm the unit holds temperature or runs a full cycle before we leave.

Denis replaced a broken part within my LG refrigerator. He was amazing!! He arrived and immediately knew what the problem was. He had me send him a photo and model # the night before. He did his homework before arriving. His charges very fair for amount of work and had the replacement part with him. Very knowledgeable, cleaned up afterwards. I called him on Friday night. He was at my house at 9:00 am on Saturday. I will definitely be using him from now on!!

Thought I would have a quiet President's Day. Had to call Fix Time to repair the dryer. Best decision I could have made. Denis was outstanding. Not only did he diagnose and repair the dryer in a short amount of time. He then went above and beyond and checked out the other appliances. Can't thank him enough as there was a water leak in the refrigerator. Nice catch Denis. You are now our go-to person for any problem in the future.

My repair technician, Denis Shevtsov, was first rate. He arrived on time and was very thorough in ascertaining the problem with my gas stovetop range. Denis ordered the necessary parts right away and came back to repair the stove as soon as the parts were delivered. Denis was extremely polite and professional in explaining what he did and making sure the cooktop was working well once he finished the repair. Very grateful for the excellent service!

Excellent skill and service! Denis is reliable and honest. He took apart our 25 year old washing machine, found the problem, repaired it, and reassembled the machine quickly and skillfully! He made it look easy. I'd say he's a Master technician. We have had him out for three separate service calls and will always call him for repairs. His pricing is very fair. He returns texts / calls asap. He gets the job done right the first time!

Questions business owners ask

Do you actually repair commercial fryers?
Yes. Fryers are one of the units we get called about most, because many repair companies do not carry fryer parts or do not want the job. We repair gas and electric floor fryers, countertop fryers and pressure fryers.
My pilot keeps going out. Can you fix that today?
Often yes. A thermopile or thermocouple is a common part we carry. If the gas valve itself has failed, it may need to be ordered.
Do you work on gas equipment?
Yes, on the appliance side: pilots, valves, burners, ignition and controls. Gas line and shutoff work belongs to a plumber, and we tell you if that is what you need.
Can you service a bank of several fryers?
Yes. Tell us how many units and which ones are down; we can check the rest of the bank while we are there.
Will I get a price before the repair?
Yes. After the diagnosis you get the repair price and approve it before any work starts. The diagnostic visit itself is quoted when you call, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Which areas do you cover?
Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley, Burbank and Glendale. Service calls run Monday through Saturday.

Fryer out during service?

Send the make, model and a photo. We will call back to schedule the visit.
