Non-Stop Heating Fixed! 🔥 Easy Thermostat Replacement & Calibration
🔥 Non-Stop Heating Issue Fixed! Easy Thermostat Replacement | Commercial Kitchen Chronicles 🔧
Customer reported that the left-hand lane of their electric griddle was heating non-stop, leading to serious performance issues. The manufacturer sent a part to help ensure a first-time fix, and upon investigation, I discovered the root cause - the capillary tube had come into contact with the element screw, creating a hole and causing constant heating.
I replaced the thermostat and took extra precautions to prevent this issue from happening again across all four lanes. After the repair, I heated up the system and verified calibration to ensure everything was running smoothly.
💡 I’ve got to admit-this was probably the easiest thermostat replacement I’ve ever done!

Great video as always buddy, repairs in the real world.
We had a Hibachi place with 30 of those grills. They would wait till they had 10 thermostats down before they called us. Those were some decent check payments. They finally decided it would be cheaper to run gas lines to each station.
Easy fix. Good stuff Pat.
First 10 seconds in is why you get payed the big bucks ......
The manager is just as bad as the employees that some nasty shit that the rat’s favorite restaurant in town
Nice job buddy, had same thing yesterday with a Hardwired oven. The "Electrician" condemned the oven, New oven delivered and doing the same. Checked the cable to find the switch burned out & the live / earth wires melted together.
Good stuff!
Texas Roadhouse?
nope lol
@ just another nasty kitchen..I swear all the chains like Texas Roadhouse red lobster, long horn etc are the nastiest places
@Hudson12339my local TXRH is pretty clean besides underneath the roll in proofer. Red Lobster is bad. Longhorn is good. The difference is terrible management. The Olive Garden here is pretty spotless because the manager cares.
@ yeah all our olive gardens are amazing..
@ the Texas Roadhouse near me is just piles of grease because no body cleans it
I see all the time with the fryers
Great video buddy, nice to watch a pro at work. Thanks for taking the time 👍.
Needs more control boards!!! Glad it’s not a 1 piece platen
If it pumps good, they should contact their chemical supplier to properly set the chemical dosages.
@@ectofix8447 well Ecolab wouldn't touch it lol
Do you have any videos on Unox model #XAVC-0511-EPRM-OK. I work in maintenance and would love to send my techs your videos. Most out our locations have the unox model I listed. Thanks for anything info you can provide.
can I come fly out and just spend a week learning from you?
😂. Was turned down by someone or never turned on?
@@chrissockriter9259 never turned on I'm betting lol
Time for a 3in1

@@CommercialKitchenChroniclescan you use one for testing purposes on r290?
@Hudson12339 yea
@@CommercialKitchenChronicles I see it all the time. I’ve done it plenty of times. I get the reason for not doing it but honestly 90% of the starting components in r290 stuff is no different then starting components on non 290 stuff. Same brand and style capacitors and relay/overload etc
Go push it off the dock and install a Rational
Wow. You can’t dis stupid but you can sure charge for it. We have several Pitco pasta cookers in my area. There pretty simple. Thanks for the awesome video. I need to get a setup and start videoing my stuff not enough hotside videos.
I guess we’re both putting out fires this weekend
@@codykruies3414 well I was starting 1 lol
@ it happens, I reminds me of smoking a time delay relay the other day!
Be happy the customer purchased the stand!
Hello, where to find this machine please info
where to find this machine?
You should make some videos on diagnosing Rationals. I'm halfway familiar Alto Shaams but no experience on Rationals.
Ecxelent bro Where do you get the service manual for rational combi ovens?
buenas noches, te hablo desde cali colombia una pregunta para capacitarse en esta industria me gustaria tener mas informacion actualmente trabajo en colombia con varias franquicias

Nicely done Pat!
Someone will sue you.

Love these training videos so much. You are a blessing to us newer techs. Thank you so much
Make it realistic. On your knees. Swimming in muck. Diagram on door missing/ torn illegible. Everything covered in caked on burnt oil and dusted with spicy breading mix.
Lol it's hard to film on site
@CommercialKitchenChronicles just kidding man.. great content. The candling reference was new info for this old dog.
Great video
Really loved this video man , helped me understand it even better . Would love to see more videos like this frymaster and garland products as well
I’ll take Milli Volt fryers all day. Thanks for the video Pat.
I always use a pair of diagonal cutters to remove the orifice. Lightly squeeze where it meets the threads and the pop right out.
Great video! Just sent a link to my new guy
The 5 Tips I learned in the FB kitchen groups 1) Change the thermostat 2) Change the limit 3) Change the thermocouple 4) Ask people in the FB group what else it could be 5) Shit on the brand and not your lack of technical skills

I've got to agree with you guys, As a cook , you guys were super hero To me when you got my equipment working good again.❤ I have always appreciated the work you guys do.And i've been thinking for a few years now of getting into the business of food service tech. But i'm 36 years And don't know if my age would be a hindrance to me or not. What do you guys think could I start in that industry at my age??
