Expert Griddle & Broiler Service & Repair
The short answer
Griddle & Char-Broiler Repair in Port Chester typically runs $200–$900 — the $95 diagnostic is credited toward the repair. Most jobs finish same-day in one visit with genuine OEM parts, backed by a 90-Day Parts & Labor Warranty. Call (914) 537-0917.
Flat-top griddles, char-broilers, salamanders and cheesemelters take constant abuse and cook by even, accurate heat — so when a griddle develops cold spots or a broiler loses a section, every plate off that station suffers. We repair these gas and electric surfaces across the common commercial brands, diagnosing thermostat and zone-control faults on thermostatic griddles, clogged and grease-fouled burner ports, gas valves and regulators, and ignition systems. On char-broilers and salamanders we chase uneven heat back to its cause — starved burners, port blockage, or a pressure/valve problem — and restore even coverage across the grate. Because these are gas-fired, every gas repair closes with a combustion check and a leak test on the connections we service. We keep the common thermostats, valves, igniters and burner parts on the truck so most griddle and broiler repairs finish in a single visit and your station is back to cooking consistently.
On a thermostatic griddle we map surface temperature across the plate to find cold zones, then test the thermostats and controls behind them. On char-broilers and salamanders we inspect each burner and its ports for blockage and grease, verify gas pressure, and test ignition. We clean and adjust burners for even flame, repair failed thermostats, valves or igniters, and confirm even heat across the surface. Gas repairs finish with a combustion and gas-leak verification.
A griddle with cold spots or a char-broiler down a section slows every ticket off that station and drags down plate consistency during the rush. We dispatch same-day, carry the common thermostats, valves, igniters and burner parts, and verify even heat and safe combustion before we leave so the station cooks consistently again.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
My griddle has cold spots — can that be fixed?
Yes. Cold zones on a thermostatic griddle usually trace to a failed thermostat controlling that zone, or to burners/ports fouled with grease and carbon under the plate. We map the surface temperature, find the weak zone, and repair the thermostat or clean and adjust the burners so heat is even across the plate again.
A section of my char-broiler won't light or stays cold — why?
That's usually a clogged burner or ports, a failed igniter, or a gas-pressure/valve problem starving that section. We clean and inspect the burners and ports, verify gas pressure, test the ignition, and restore even heat across the grate.
Why is my salamander not getting hot enough?
A weak salamander is commonly a burner or ignition problem, a gas-valve issue, or clogged ports limiting the flame. We diagnose and repair the specific fault so the salamander reaches the high heat it needs for finishing and melting.
Do griddle and broiler repairs include a gas safety check?
Yes — any gas surface we repair gets a combustion check and a leak test on the connections we touch before we leave. Even heat and safe operation go together on this equipment.

“Excellent griddle & char-broiler repair service! They diagnosed the problem quickly and had it fixed the same day. The technician was professional and knowledgeable.”
“Half our char-broiler was cooking cold and throwing off every steak. They cleaned the burners, found a gas valve issue starving one section, and now it's even edge to edge. Also did a proper gas leak check before leaving. Solid, safe work.”
“Our walk-in cooler went down overnight and I found it warm at 6am with a full weekend order inside. I called and a tech was here within the hour, found a failed condensing-unit fan and a defrost fault, and had it pulling back down to temp fast. They saved us thousands in product. This is the number I give every operator I know.”
“Called at 3pm with a dead Frymaster and a full reservation book. Tech showed up, diagnosed a bad high-limit and thermostat, and had us frying again before doors opened. He didn't bypass anything — explained exactly why it kept tripping and fixed it right. That's the difference.”
