Deck Oven › Types of Ovens That We Fix

Deck ovens are a cornerstone of many commercial kitchens, particularly in bakeries and pizzerias, where their ability to deliver consistent, high-quality results is unmatched. These ovens, characterized by their flat, stone or metal decks that conduct heat directly to the food, are built to withstand heavy use. However, like any piece of equipment, they can develop issues over time, requiring professional repair. Our team specializes in fixing a wide range of deck ovens and other commercial oven types, ensuring your kitchen stays operational. Below, we explore the types of ovens we repair, with a focus on deck ovens and their common variants.

Deck Ovens: The Bakery Workhorse

Deck ovens are designed for precision baking, offering even heat distribution and the ability to produce artisan-style bread, pizzas, and pastries with a crisp, golden crust. They typically feature multiple chambers or “decks,” each with its own temperature control, allowing for simultaneous baking of different products. The decks are often made of stone, ceramic, or steel, which absorb and radiate heat to create the perfect baking environment.

We repair all types of deck ovens, including:

• Gas Deck Ovens: These ovens use natural gas or propane to heat the decks, offering quick heat-up times and cost-effective operation. Common issues we fix include faulty igniters, uneven heating due to burner malfunctions, and gas flow problems.
• Electric Deck Ovens: Powered by electricity, these ovens are known for their precise temperature control. We address issues like malfunctioning heating elements, thermostat failures, and electrical wiring problems.
• Steam-Injected Deck Ovens: These models introduce steam into the baking chamber, ideal for creating crusty artisan breads. We repair steam generators, clogged injectors, and issues with moisture control systems.

Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair both traditional and modern deck ovens, ensuring they meet the demands of high-volume production.

Convection Ovens: Versatile and Efficient

While deck ovens excel at baking, convection ovens are prized for their versatility. These ovens use fans to circulate hot air, ensuring even cooking and faster baking times. They’re commonly used for roasting, baking, and reheating a wide variety of foods. We service both gas and electric convection ovens, addressing issues such as:

• Faulty fan motors that disrupt air circulation.
• Inconsistent temperatures due to thermostat or sensor failures.
• Door seal problems that cause heat loss.

Whether it’s a countertop model for a small café or a full-size unit in a large restaurant, we keep your convection oven running smoothly.

Pizza Ovens: Specialized for Perfection

Pizza ovens, including deck-style models, are designed to handle the intense heat needed for perfectly baked pizzas. These ovens often overlap with deck ovens but may include specialized features like higher temperature ranges or refractory stone decks. We repair:

• Traditional Pizza Deck Ovens: These gas or electric ovens are built for high output. We fix burner issues, uneven deck heating, and control panel malfunctions.
• Wood-Fired Ovens: Popular in artisanal pizzerias, these ovens require specialized repairs for firebox damage, chimney blockages, and heat retention issues.
• Conveyor Pizza Ovens: While not deck ovens, these are common in high-volume pizzerias. We service belt motor failures, heating element issues, and digital control problems.

Our expertise ensures your pizza oven delivers consistent results, whether you’re serving Neapolitan or New York-style pies.

Combi Ovens: The All-in-One Solution

Combi ovens combine convection, steam, and combination cooking modes, offering unmatched flexibility for modern kitchens. These high-tech ovens are complex, making professional repair essential. We handle:

• Steam generator failures that affect moisture levels.
• Software glitches in digital control systems.
• Fan or heating element malfunctions.

Our technicians are equipped to service leading combi oven brands, keeping your equipment versatile and reliable.

Common Repair Challenges

Across all oven types, certain issues arise frequently. Electrical faults, such as short circuits or power supply problems, can disable an oven entirely. Gas ovens may develop leaks or ignition issues, posing safety risks. Temperature inconsistencies, often caused by faulty thermostats or sensors, can ruin batches of food. Mechanical wear, like warped decks or broken hinges, is also common in high-use environments. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint problems and provide lasting solutions.
