Commercial Kitchen Repairs in Palmerston North
CES Wellington repairs and services commercial kitchen equipment for cafés, restaurants, bakeries and institutional kitchens in Palmerston North. When a combi oven stops mid-service or the dishwasher won't reach temperature, you need someone who knows the equipment and turns up ready to fix it. Our technicians do that work every day.
Kitchens we look after in Palmerston North
- Massey and UCOL kitchens. Big volumes during term, quieter in the breaks, which is a good time for planned service.
- The Square and George Street. Cafés, restaurants and bars, many trading early to late.
- Arena and event venues. Gear that sits quiet, then runs flat out.
- Rest homes, clubs and takeaways across the city.
What we repair in Palmerston North
We cover the equipment that keeps a commercial kitchen running:
- Combi ovens, including Rational and Convotherm. Heating faults, steam generator problems, water supply issues, error messages and descaling.
- Commercial dishwashers and glasswashers, including Washtech, Starline, Classeq, Meiko, Eurowash, Winterhalter and Hobart. Wash and rinse temperature faults, pumps, fill problems, drainage and detergent dosing.
- Convection ovens, ranges, fryers, griddles and chargrills, gas and electric.
- Conveyor pizza ovens.
If your equipment isn't on that list, call and ask. The brands we work on are listed on the brands page.
Combi oven repair in Palmerston North
A combi oven often carries a large share of the menu, so a fault hits hard. Common problems include the oven not heating, no steam, a fault code on the display, or a door seal that has stopped sealing. Hard water and skipped descaling are a common cause of steam faults.
When you call, have the model and serial number from the rating plate and a photo of any message on the display. That helps us diagnose before we leave and bring the likely parts. More detail is on our combi oven repairs page.
Commercial dishwasher repair in Palmerston North
A dishwasher not hitting its wash or rinse temperature isn't sanitising, and in a busy kitchen you'll run out of plates fast. We repair pass-through, undercounter and glasswasher units. We service and repair Starline, Classeq, Meiko and Eurowash dishwashers and glasswashers, and we're service agents for Washtech, Winterhalter and Hobart.
- Scale. Scale build-up on elements and in the rinse system is a common cause of temperature faults. Regular descaling and servicing keeps it in check.
- Bar glasswashers. George Street bars lean on their glasswashers on a Friday night. Cloudy glasses usually mean dosing or rinse temperature.
- Care kitchens. Aged care can add a Dishwasher Hygiene Check: temperatures, dosing and electrical safety, written up.
