Pitco Fryer Repair for High-Pressure Kitchens
We repair Pitco gas and electric fryers for restaurants, hotels, and hospitality kitchens across Western Colorado. If your fryer is not heating, overshooting, failing ignition, or tripping safety cutouts, we diagnose the actual failure path and get you back into service safely.
Fryer downtime is revenue downtime. Our dispatch workflow is built for urgent, production-impacting calls.

Common Pitco Failures and Symptoms
Heat and Temperature Control
- Thermostat failure: fryer will not reach setpoint or overshoots dangerously.
- Temperature probe drift: displayed temp differs from actual oil temp, causing poor product quality.
- Hi-limit cutout trips: safety lockout indicates thermal control problem that must be diagnosed, not ignored.
- Heating element failure (SSH electric): one vat stays cold or heats unevenly.
Ignition, Gas, and Combustion
- Igniter or pilot assembly failure: unit will not light or flame will not stay stable.
- Gas valve failure: intermittent heating, no gas flow, or inconsistent burner behavior.
- Burner orifice clogging: weak flame and slow recovery under demand.
Mechanical and Utility Systems
- Drain valve failure: leaks, incomplete drain-down, or unsafe cleanup conditions.
- Filtration system faults: Filtamate or automated filtering not cycling correctly.
- Basket rail and hanger wear: poor basket stability during high-volume output.
Critical Safety Note for Hi-Limit Trips
Hi-limit faults are not nuisance errors. They are a safety lockout tied to overtemperature conditions and can indicate real grease fire risk if the root cause is bypassed.
Do not repeatedly reset and continue production without diagnosis. We prioritize fryer-down safety calls and dispatch with a repair-first safety process.
