We know how important your dishwasher is to keeping a clean kitchen and getting that cookware back into circulation. Plates and untensils piling up in the sink can eat up a lot of your time by having to clean them manually. When dishwashers break down entirely, we can provide timely repairs to ensure the work doesn’t pile up. However, we are often called on for maintenance because a dishwasher isn’t running at optimal performance.

When a range or stove malfunctions, it may seem like less of an emergency. However, there could be a level of danger to you or your family. Depending on the type of unit you have, there could be gas leaks, electrical shorts, the unit could cause sparks, etc. Although it may save you a night of cooking and be an excuse to order in, it is recommended that you call on us to make sure everything is safe and secure.

It is important to minimize the amount of waste coming from your kitchen. It also helps reduce the chore of taking the trash out! At Appliances of Broward™, we can repair most brands of both garbage disposals and trash compactors. If you are unable to repair a garbage disposal, you may be experiencing a large jam that normal maintenance couldn’t solve. Or perhaps you have a burnt out motor. In either case, we can certainly diagnose and repair your device in a timely and professional manner.

For garbage compactors, there are free-standing, under-the-counter, and convertible model units. When these units break, its recommended to check to make sure that the drawer is completely closed, the fuses are checked, and the power cord is intact and plugged in. If any of these observations don’t fit the issue, then it may be time to give us a call. It could be that a burnt out motor or slacked or broken driving belts are causing a more serious malfunction. Our expert technicians are well-versed in making these kind of repairs.

Our commercial service is often called upon to service restaurants that rely on functioning appliances to keep their operations going.

If you’re a business with a walk-in cooler, chances are you have thousands of dollars worth of inventory that relies on a steady temperature. If that temperature is comprised, then you could lose a lot of money in spoiled product. In the food service industry, if inspectors find unsatisfactory temperatures, the costs can add up. Fines can be levied and customers reading the public published reports can lose confidence in doing business with you. At Appliances of Broward™, our technicians specialize in all variations of service and repair. In many cases, we even are called for inspections for pro-active customers who want to avoid problems before they happen.

Freezer and Refrigerator issues that may require service

If any of the following symptoms start to appear with your walk-in refrigeration units, it may be time to give us a call.

• Low power/ outages – Sometimes the walk-in cooler can lose power and that could be due to a circuit breaker, a blown fuse, or maybe wiring issues that need to be addressed.
• Increase in temperature – The flow of the colder air can be hampered by something as simple as an overloaded cooler. In some cases, there is a blockage like a buildup of frost in the machinery or the motor isn’t functioning properly.
• Constant motor running – This would indicate a possible leak of refrigerant or a leak somewhere throughout the system that is allowing cool air to escape.
• Ice buildup – After awhile, there could be an accumulation of ice in the vents, evaporator coils, a clogged drain line, or drain pan. This could be something that develops over time, or perhaps means there is a defective heater.

A widely-used appliance in the food service industry, commercial ovens can slow down a kitchen or take items off your menu completely if they break down. Being in good working condition constantly is vital to ensure you don’t incur any downtime. We can respond fast to breakdowns, but definitely encourage have us stopping by to inspect equipment to pro-actively tackle possible issues before they become a major headache.

Call us if you experience the following issues:

• Under-performing temperature – A cause of this problem might be a thermostat that is either faulty or would need re-calibration.
• Food cooking unevenly – Improperly installed thermostats or other issues in heating components may be a cause of unevenly or undercooked food, which will lead to food quality issues and unhappy customers.
• Pilot light issues- Faulty equipment like a thermocouple or safety valve could lead to your pilot light not lighting. Our technicians should be called to safely repair this issue.

Here in Broward County, it goes without saying that the ice maker machine is critical. With year-round heat, a breakdown can result in many trips to the local convenience store for bags of ice. This will no doubt, take time and money for your employees to store, break up, and open up the bags. We provide not only reactive service for total breakdowns, but also proactive service to ensure that your ice machine is functioning at 100% to avoid any future issues.

Some problems that we can solve

• Leaky unit- This could indicate a mechanical failure in the compressor or a line issue.
• Uneven ice dispensing – There could be an issue with the feeding mechanism or a clog in the system.
• Power outages – The unit’s production is limited due to low or no power to the system

We can service all types of ice makers

There are many types of ice makers including full, half, nugget, and flake machines. We can service all commercial ice machines in stand-alone, under-the-counter, and ice making machine/bin combination units.

For the food service industry, Appliances of Broward™ repairs prep tables for sandwich shops, salad bars, and pizza restaurants. When a table’s mechanics malfunction, this could compromise the ingredients stored in the unit. Lower temperature is not only unsafe, but can also result in an infraction from a health inspector. We can repair both types of preparation tables:

• Forced air units – The prep tables use a coil that cools the bottom of the unit by the base and rail zone. Restaurants use this machine best in low heat and humidity environments
• Conductive systems – This unit has copper lines that are wrapped around the tank or pan opening. This creates a cold cushion of air on top of the ingredients to cool.

With deep fryers being critical to a food menu, it’s imperative that the machine is back up and running quickly. Luckily, deep fryers are fairly easy to repair and our technicians will make quick work of your unit to get your operations back up and running. We work with all brands of deep fryers and can repair all components such as thermostats, safety gas valves, termopiles, hi-limits, and more.

Common issues

• A faulty thermostate
• Not shutting off

Because after all, what is a cold beverage on a hot summer day on the sea without ice cubes? There are many size varieties of ice machines depending on the configuration of your galley. Ice machines may leak, make uneven ice cubes, or not work entirely due to line clogging, wiring, or any other mechanical issues. Our specialists can diagnose and repair most ice machines in a timely manner and ensure that no drink goes without an ice cube!

Preparing meals on-board for the luxury yachts is very important when entertaining guests or if you have a crew on a charter craft. For marine cooking, these appliances must be able to normally operate at a 30° angle to account for rougher seas. For stoves and ranges, this means extra latches to keep hot food from moving. For instance, in sailboats, ranges are often “gimbaled” which means they move on a swivel to stay level.  At Appliances of Broward™, we can repair these secure measures along with faulty wiring, gas line, and general mechanical issues. The electric appliances often run off the ship’s alternator or generator and it may take a more in-depth look at the wiring to solve the cause of an appliance failure. Some smaller boats are tight on space and require small countertop cooktops, or cooktops with broilers. Rest assured, we can repair all sizes.

For a lot of marine craft, dishwashers may be of normal size, but a lot of them are compact to fit small quarters. Our technicians can expertly diagnose and fix any issue in order to keep the galley dish and utensil cleaning efficient. We can work around the custom fittings to diagnose wiring, cycle problems, or any other mechanical issues.
