How we repair your Hot Dog Roller/Steamer
A hot dog roller or steamer cooks and holds hot dogs on rotating heated rollers or in a steam chamber, with a bun warming compartment. A hot dog roller/steamer uses heating elements or lamps, a thermostat or digital control, and sometimes a water pan or humidity system. A technician tests the elements and controls, checks temperature accuracy and inspects door seals and fans.
Holding equipment that drops below safe temperatures can lead to health code violations, so these calls are scheduled quickly.
