Commercial Oven Repair
Your commercial ovens and stoves may very well be the heartbeat of your operation, and if they go down, every minute costs money.

Whether you're running a restaurant, school cafeteria, hospital kitchen, or commercial food production facility, we're here to get you back online.
Whether you need emergency repairs or scheduled maintenance, Hobart offers a wide range of support options for all major makes and models of commercial ovens, stoves, and ranges. Our countrywide network of factory-trained and certified technicians arrive on-site with the tools and parts necessary to diagnose and repair your issue, many times on the first visit.
If your commercial kitchen has an imminent breakdown or needs some care, Hobart's commercial oven repair service can help you minimize downtime and get back to operational capacity as simply and quickly as possible.
The Importance of Commercial Service
An equipment failure isn't just an inconvenience in a commercial kitchen: it's a costly disruption to your business. A malfunctioning oven or range can cause:
- Food safety violations
- Revenue loss from cancelled orders or unsatisfied customers
- Increased labor costs from slower workflows
- Unnecessary replacement costs
Commercial-grade ovens and stoves are built for performance, but even the most rock-solid machines require maintenance and upkeep. Burner nozzles will clog. Thermostats will drift. Wiring will degrade. Without regular inspections and services, a small issue like a dirty nozzle can spiral into an expensive breakdown.
Staying on top of your preventative maintenance will protect your investment and your productivity, but sometimes you still need emergency repairs. A skilled Hobart technician doesn't just get you back to functioning — it extends the life of your equipment, increases your return on investment, and reduces the total cost of ownership while you remain focused on producing high-quality products for demanding markets.
Common Issues of Commercial Ovens, Stoves & Ranges
Here are a few of the most common problems our technicians encounter. Knowing what to look out for may help you catch early warning signs so you can avoid unplanned downtime.
Inconsistent Heating or Temperature Drift
If your oven won't maintain a consistent temperature, takes too long to heat up, or can't reach its target temperature, it can ruin batches of food and cause you to miss your timing during service rushes. It could be an issue of a faulty thermostat, worn-out temperature sensors, or degraded heating elements.
Burners Won't Light or Stay Lit
If your gas burners won't light or struggle to stay lit, it could be an issue of clogged or misaligned pilot lights, dirty ignition ports, or upstream problems with your gas supply. These issues are common in a high-use kitchen and can often be solved easily with a deep cleaning and calibration.
Oven Doors Won't Seal
A loose or damaged gasket on your oven door will let heat escape and cause uneven temperature pockets that lead to uneven cooking and wasted energy. Over time, your oven will strain to meet your needs, increase your operating costs, and degrade your equipment.
Control Panel Has Failed
Modern commercial ovens rely heavily on digital controls, which are vulnerable to wear, heat damage, power surges, and more. A blank display, unresponsive control buttons, or incorrect readings are all signs that you need a professional inspection, and possibly to replace some of your electronic components.
Gas Leaks or Odors
Any smell of gas in your kitchen should be treated as an emergency. Hobart's commercial oven repair team is trained to safely shut down your gas line and diagnose leaks before replacing faulty valves, regulators, or seals as necessary.
Strange Noises or Vibrations
Hums, clanks, or rattles are clear signs that there are issues that need to be addressed. Internal fans, components, loose panels, and other parts may need replacing as soon as possible to avoid more expensive and complicated repairs.
Choosing a Repair Service
There are plenty of repair service providers to choose from, but not all are created equal. Here's what sets Hobart technicians apart from the rest:
Specialized Experience
Commercial kitchen equipment is complex, and oftentimes has highly specific features. Look for a technician who is factory-trained and experienced with a wide range of oven and stove models, whether that's convection, combi, gas range, steamer, or something else.
OEM Parts and Tools
Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts will make sure that your repairs last and that your equipment warranty stays intact. Hobart technicians arrive on location with a full inventory of OEM parts to help avoid delays on common repairs.
