Ovens and combi ovens
If your oven is dropping temperature, tripping under load, or cooking unevenly, start with the parts most often worn out in daily service. Elements, thermostats, switches and door gaskets all take a beating in busy kitchens, especially where the oven runs from breakfast through supper without much downtime.
Use this section when you need parts for convection ovens, deck ovens, combi ovens and similar units. A correct fit matters because even a small mismatch can affect heat recovery, seal quality and energy use during load-shedding recovery or a cold winter morning in Pretoria.
- Heating elements for bake and roast cycles
- Thermostats and temperature controls
- Door gaskets and sealing strips
- Selector switches and control switches
Fryers and hot oil equipment
Fryers need parts that can handle heat, oil and repeated cleaning. If oil is not holding temperature, or a fryer is slow to recover after basket loads, the element, thermostat or control switch may be due for replacement. On units near coastal kitchens, corrosion around terminals and fittings is also common.
We group fryer spares so you can match the fault to the likely part without guessing. That includes both electrical and heat related items, plus fittings that support safe operation after a repair. If you are replacing a part after a fail, post-fit testing helps confirm the unit is cycling properly again.
- Immersion and dry elements
- Thermostats and limit controls
- Switches and control panels
- Gaskets and sealing components
Dishwashers and glasswashers
Dishwashers work hard in schools, restaurants, hotels and canteens, so small faults can cause big delays. Elements, thermostats, inlet-related switches and door seals are among the parts most often needed when a machine stops heating, leaks or leaves ware wetter than it should be.
For this equipment, fit and compatibility are especially important because models can look similar but use different terminals, probe positions or gasket profiles. A quick part identification check saves time and reduces the chance of ordering the wrong item from a busy kitchen in Johannesburg or Durban.
- Tank and rinse elements
- Thermostats and sensor controls
- Door gaskets and water seals
- Switches and cycle controls
Hot cupboards, bain maries and holding units
Holding equipment must keep food safe and service-ready without drying it out or running too hot. When temperatures drift or compartments fail to heat evenly, the usual suspects are elements, thermostats or switches. These units often run for long periods, so wear builds up slowly and then shows itself during a busy service.
This section helps you match spares to holding cabinets, bain maries and similar counter equipment used in takeaways, hospitals and contract catering. In many cases, the right replacement also depends on cabinet depth, mounting points and whether the unit is mains or single-phase, so a proper compatibility check is worth doing.
Bakers, grills and heavy-duty cooking units
Grills, planchas, chargrills and baking units need parts that can stand up to constant heat and grease. Burners, elements, thermostats and control switches are the common items to check first when heat becomes uneven or a section stops working altogether.
If your unit is used in a high-volume site, failed fittings often show up as slow recovery, hot spots or nuisance tripping. We help customers compare the old part with the replacement so the new one matches the original size, terminals and working range.
- Burners and ignition-related components
- Heating elements for electric units
- Thermostats and safety cut-outs
- Switches for individual cooking zones
How to choose the right equipment type page
Start with the machine itself, then match the fault to the part group. If a unit will not heat, look at elements and thermostats first. If it leaks or loses temperature through the door, check gaskets. If the control is dead or erratic, switches and panel parts may be the issue.
These equipment type pages are grouped for speed, but the final choice still depends on model, rating, size and fitting points. If you are unsure, send the plate details, a photo of the old part or the fault description and we can assist from Midrand for national dispatch.
- Use the equipment category that matches the machine, not just the fault
- Check voltage, size, terminals and fixing points
- Confirm whether the part is for oven, fryer, dishwasher or holding gear
- Ask for compatibility help before ordering if the old part is missing
