How We Repair Your Broaster Chicken Fryer
Deep fryers heat oil with gas burners or electric elements and rely on thermostats and a high-limit safety switch.
We service current and older Broaster Chicken Fryer models. Bring the model number to the phone call if you can: it helps us check part availability before we arrive.
Safety first: Never service a fryer with hot oil in it. Let it cool completely first.
Common Chicken Fryer Problems We Fix
Slow recovery
Scale or carbon on the elements, a weak burner or a thermostat out of calibration.
Leaking oil
A worn drain valve or a cracked fry pot.
Will not heat
A failed element or pilot, a tripped high-limit, a bad thermostat or, on gas units, a thermopile or gas valve problem.
Oil overheats
A faulty thermostat or temperature probe. Stop using the fryer until it is checked.
Pilot will not stay lit
A weak thermocouple or thermopile, or a dirty pilot orifice.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Press the high-limit reset after the oil cools.
- Make sure the gas valve is fully open.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Broaster Chicken Fryer Repair cost in Virginia?
Most chicken fryer repairs fall between $150–$500 including parts and labor. The final price depends on the part that failed and your model. You get an exact quote after the diagnosis and before any work starts.
Can you repair my chicken fryer today?
Same-day visits depend on technician availability in Virginia. Call (844) 442-1500 early in the day for the best chance of a same-day or next-day appointment.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Parts and labor are covered by our 90-day warranty. If the same problem comes back within that time, we return and fix it.
Do you work on all Broaster models?
We repair current and older Broaster models. Some discontinued parts can be hard to find; if that is the case for your model, we tell you before you pay for a repair.
Should I repair or replace my chicken fryer?
A chicken fryer typically lasts about 7 to 12 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
