When a reach-in stops cooling during prep, an ice machine quits before the lunch rush, or a commercial dryer goes cold at a busy gym, every hour is lost product and lost revenue. Spark Appliance Repair keeps San Diego County businesses running with same-day commercial appliance repair — for restaurants and cafes, offices, medical and dental practices, hotels and hospitality, gyms, and small retail. We focus on the light-commercial equipment a fast, in-house crew can fix right the first time: reach-in refrigeration and prep tables, commercial freezers, ice machines (repair and health-code cleaning), commercial ovens and ranges, and commercial washers and dryers. Whether you need commercial refrigeration repair, commercial freezer repair, ice machine repair, commercial oven repair, or walk-in cooler repair, one San Diego crew handles the whole kitchen and back-of-house.
Family-owned in San Diego since 2016, BBB Accredited, California BHGS-licensed (#C 62399) and EPA 608 Type I certified for sealed-system refrigerant work on self-contained equipment (reach-in coolers, prep tables, undercounter units and ice machines), our in-house technicians carry OEM compressors, fan motors, controls, igniters, valves and gaskets on every van. Every visit opens with a flat $80 diagnostic, credited toward the repair on approval, and every fix carries a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. For repeat accounts we offer flexible NET-15 or NET-30 billing, a certificate of insurance (COI) on request, and a dedicated point of contact — the responsiveness the big national contract vendors save for their largest accounts. Call (619) 330-5105 — most commercial calls before noon are handled the same day from our Spring Valley headquarters at 2637 Summitview Ln. Rated 5.0 stars across 264+ Google reviews, we have kept commercial kitchens and back-of-house equipment running across all 17 cities in San Diego County since 2016.
Downtime is the real cost of a broken commercial appliance — spoiled product, a closed station, an unhappy health inspector. Here is why restaurants, offices, and hotels across San Diego call Spark first:
Most San Diego commercial calls received before noon are handled the same day, with weekend and after-hours coverage for no-cooling and no-ice emergencies. A warm reach-in or a dead ice machine jumps the queue, because every hour is product and revenue on the line.
Commercial reach-in refrigeration, freezers, and ice machines are sealed-system equipment, and our technicians hold EPA 608 Type I certification for the refrigerant work they require — covering self-contained reach-ins, prep tables, undercounter units and ice machines. We meter the compressor and sealed system before condemning a part, so you don’t pay to replace healthy equipment.
For repeat accounts we bill on NET-15 or NET-30 with a clean monthly invoice, and we provide a certificate of insurance (COI) and W-9 on request — the B2B paperwork your bookkeeping needs, without the friction. Licensed and insured by the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (#C 62399).
A flat $80 service call on arrival, credited in full toward the repair on approval, and a written fixed-price quote before any part is ordered. Every commercial repair carries a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty — if the same fault returns, we come back at no charge.
Our own background-checked, uniformed technicians do the work — the same crew, with your account history on file. You get a dedicated point of contact and a real person who answers, not a national call center that routes the small accounts to the back of the line.
We stock OEM compressors, condenser and evaporator fan motors, control boards, thermostats, igniters, valves, heating elements and gaskets for commercial equipment, so most single-failure repairs finish in one visit and your station is back in service the same day.
A reach-in, prep table, or undercounter cooler drifting above safe food temperature is a health-code and inventory problem. On these self-contained units the cause is usually a stuck condenser fan, a clogged condenser coil, a failed compressor or start component, or a refrigerant leak in the sealed system. We verify the real cabinet temperature, meter the compressor under load, and restore safe holding temp the same day.
No ice before service, or thin/cloudy/slow ice, usually traces to a clogged water inlet valve, a scaled-up water system (San Diego hard water), a failed water pump, or a sealed-system fault. We clear and descale the water path, replace the failed part, and sanitize the unit to health-code standard. We also handle the recurring deep-clean cycle most ice machines need twice a year.
A commercial oven that won’t reach temperature, or a range burner that clicks but won’t light, points to a failed igniter, a weak spark module, a burned-out element, a safety valve, or a thermostat/control fault. We diagnose electric and gas cooking equipment — including Vulcan, Hobart, and rapid-cook / speed ovens such as TurboChef and Merrychef — clean and re-gap igniters, and fit OEM parts so every burner and cavity holds temperature.
A commercial freezer caking with frost or drifting warm is a failed defrost system (heater, timer, or thermostat), a leaking door gasket, a tired compressor, or a dead evaporator fan. We test the defrost circuit, reseal the door, and repair the sealed system so the freezer holds temperature and stops running nonstop.
A commercial washer that won’t drain, spin, or fill, or a commercial dryer that runs but won’t heat, costs a hotel, gym, or laundromat real money in downtime. We service Speed Queen, Maytag Commercial, Huebsch and similar — drain pumps, belts, motors, heating elements, igniters, thermostats, and door/lid switches.
A walk-in cooler or freezer that won’t seal, with a torn gasket, a sagging or sweating door, failed hinges, a broken closer, or damaged panels, leaks cold air and spikes your energy bill and frost. We repair and replace walk-in doors, gaskets, hinges, closers, sweep heaters, panels, and interior fans and controls. (Walk-in sealed-system / refrigerant work is referred to a licensed refrigeration contractor.)
When cold equipment fails entirely during service hours, food safety and revenue are both at risk. We triage no-cooling and no-ice emergencies first — verify the fault is the equipment (not a tripped breaker or a closed valve), and get it cooling again or give you an honest timeline so you can move product before it’s lost. After-hours available.
A commercial unit running loud, buzzing, or never cycling off is usually a failing start relay or capacitor, worn fan bearings, dirty condenser coils, or a low refrigerant charge — and it is quietly driving your power bill 20 to 40% over normal. We diagnose the cause and fix it before it takes the compressor with it.
Account-friendly terms built for San Diego businesses. Every repair is quoted in writing before any work, and the way we bill and prioritize you is what sets commercial service apart — flexible terms, the right paperwork, and same-day response when equipment is down.

From the first call to a clean NET-15 or NET-30 invoice — the four-touch process that gets your equipment back in service fast:
Call (619) 330-5105 or book online — tell us the equipment, the location, and whether it’s an emergency. No-cooling and no-ice calls jump the queue. New account? One call sets it up, with COI and W-9 on request.
A uniformed, background-checked technician arrives the same day (for calls before noon) with OEM commercial parts on the van, meters the sealed system or cooking circuit, and finds the real fault — not a guess.
You get a written fixed-price quote — parts and labor, with the $80 diagnostic credited — before any work. For accounts you can set a standing auto-approve threshold so small fixes never wait on a manager.
Most single-failure repairs finish in one visit so your station is back in service the same day, backed by a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty — billed to your account on a clean NET-15 or NET-30 invoice.

Yes. Spark Appliance Repair provides same-day commercial appliance repair across San Diego County for restaurants, cafes, offices, medical and dental practices, hotels, gyms, and small retail. We focus on light-commercial equipment: reach-in refrigeration and prep tables, commercial freezers, ice machines, commercial ovens and ranges, and commercial washers and dryers. Family-owned since 2016, BHGS-licensed (#C 62399), EPA 608 certified, with NET-30 accounts and a COI on request.
Reach-in refrigerators, prep tables, undercounter and merchandiser/display cases, commercial freezers, ice machines (Scotsman, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Ice-O-Matic), commercial ovens and ranges (gas and electric, including Vulcan, Hobart, and rapid-cook / speed ovens such as TurboChef and Merrychef), and commercial washers and dryers (Speed Queen, Maytag Commercial, Huebsch). For walk-in coolers and freezers we handle non-refrigerant work — doors, gaskets, hinges, panels, fans and controls.
Yes. Most commercial calls received before noon are handled the same day, and we cover weekend and after-hours emergencies. A no-cooling reach-in, a dead ice machine, or a down commercial freezer is triaged first, because every hour is food safety and lost revenue. Call (619) 330-5105 and tell us it is an equipment-down emergency.
Yes. Approved commercial accounts are billed on NET-15 or NET-30 with a clean monthly invoice, and we provide a certificate of insurance (COI) and W-9 on request. We are California BHGS-licensed (#C 62399), EPA 608 certified, and BBB Accredited — the documentation your accounting and your landlord or management company need.
Yes. Independent restaurants and cafes, offices, medical and dental practices, hotels and hospitality, gyms, and small retail/convenience are exactly who we serve — the businesses the big national contract vendors keep waiting. You get a dedicated point of contact, your account history on file, and a real in-house crew, not a national dispatch queue.
Every visit opens with a flat $80 diagnostic, credited in full toward the repair on approval. From there you get a written, fixed-price quote — parts and labor — before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Pricing depends on the equipment, the part, and the fault; volume, multi-location, and recurring preventive-maintenance rates are available for commercial accounts. Approved accounts are billed on NET-15 or NET-30 with a clean monthly invoice, COI and W-9 on request.
Yes — it is our strongest commercial category. Reach-in refrigerators, prep tables, undercounter coolers, commercial freezers, and self-contained ice machines are sealed-system equipment, and our technicians are EPA 608 certified for the refrigerant work they require. We also descale and sanitize ice machines to health-code standard, including the twice-a-year deep clean. See our commercial refrigeration and ice machine pages.
We repair the non-refrigerant side of walk-in coolers and freezers — doors, gaskets, hinges, closers, sweep heaters, panels, evaporator fans, and controls — which solves the most common walk-in problems (won’t seal, sweating, frost, fan failure). Sealed-system and refrigerant work on walk-in systems is referred to a licensed refrigeration contractor, so you always get the right trade for the job.
Yes. Ice machines need a professional deep-clean, descale, and sanitize about twice a year — required for San Diego County health compliance and to prevent the scale and slime that cause most failures (San Diego has hard water). We offer one-time cleanings and recurring preventive-maintenance plans, separate from any repair, for restaurants, bars, hotels, medical offices, and breakrooms.
Most San Diego commercial calls received before noon are handled the same day from our Spring Valley headquarters, with after-hours and weekend coverage for emergencies. Every commercial repair is covered by a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty — if the same fault returns within 90 days, we come back at no charge, parts and labor included.
