01 · About This Service
This is our commercial appliance repair hub for Los Angeles: commercial kitchen equipment repair for restaurants, cafes, hotels and ghost kitchens, plus laundry equipment for laundromats and multi-unit properties. Each equipment category below has its own page with the failures, brands and parts we see most. Running a restaurant? Start with our restaurant equipment repair page.
A reach-in cooler that stops holding temperature at 11pm costs you the inventory inside it plus potential health code exposure if it's not resolved before your next inspection. An oven out on a Friday prep day means a reduced menu or a closed kitchen. We understand this calculus and route commercial calls differently than residential, same-day response is the default, not an upgrade.
Los Angeles has one of the most competitive and dense food service landscapes in the country. From the Korean BBQ corridor in Koreatown to the farm-to-table restaurants on the Eastside to the ghost kitchen facilities in Lincoln Heights and DTLA, the equipment running these operations is varied and the stakes when it fails are real. We've been repairing commercial appliances in these neighborhoods for years.
We repair the commercial equipment on this page ourselves, including Rational, Alto-Shaam and Convotherm combi ovens and Hobart mixers, slicers and food processors. One call, one team, from diagnosis to the finished repair.
If your commercial reach-in or walk-in is above 41°F (FDA food safety threshold), move temperature-sensitive inventory immediately. Document the temperature and time. Call us at (323) 870-4790, refrigeration failures are our highest-priority commercial call. We carry parts for True, Turbo Air, and Beverage-Air on the van.

05 · Ghost Kitchens & Cloud Kitchens
Los Angeles has more ghost kitchen facilities per capita than any other US city, CloudKitchens, Kitchen United, Local Kitchens, and dozens of independent facilities are concentrated in DTLA, East LA, Lincoln Heights, and the broader industrial corridor. The operators running brands out of these facilities have one thing in common: their entire revenue depends on a working kitchen with no alternative service channel.
When a reach-in cooler fails in a ghost kitchen, there's no dining room to redirect guests to. When an oven goes down on a Friday, there's no substituting a different part of the menu service. The math is immediate: every hour the equipment is down is revenue lost. We understand this and route ghost kitchen calls with the same urgency we apply to restaurants during service.
Ghost kitchen facilities also tend to run equipment harder and more continuously than traditional restaurants, one unit shared across multiple brands runs longer daily hours. That accelerates wear on compressors, motors, and gaskets. Regular maintenance is more valuable here than in a single-concept operation.

08 · Recent Commercial Repairs
Condenser fan motor failure on a True T-49 two-door reach-in. The condenser was clean but the fan motor had seized, without airflow over the condenser, the compressor overheated and tripped on its thermal overload. The unit sat warm for approximately 6 hours. Temperature inside was 48°F when we arrived.
Commercial Manitowoc ice machine in a shared ghost kitchen facility, the water inlet valve had failed and scale buildup had blocked the water distribution tubes. The machine hadn't been descaled in the 18 months since installation. In LA's hard water environment, Manitowoc recommends descaling every 6 months on shared commercial units.
Failed evaporator fan motor on a Turbo Air under-counter cooler. The compressor was running but without fan circulation, cold air wasn't reaching the front of the unit. The back stayed cold; the front was at 50°F. The cafe had been running this way for several days without realizing the graduated temperature, the owner noticed when beer was warm on the front shelf.
Two Speed Queen front-load commercial washers with different failures, one had a failed door latch that locked mid-cycle and wouldn't release (holding a load of wet laundry hostage), the other had a failed drain pump. Both failures on the same Saturday morning, peak laundromat traffic. Operator called us at 9am.
