Commercial Laundry Equipment Repairs
in the Okanagan BC
We offer troubleshooting and repairs on all major brands of commercial laundry equipment.
If you are looking for a commercial laundry equipment technician for repairs or troubleshooting on commercial washer extractors, commercial dryers, or flat ironers for your Okanagan, Interior, or Columbia-Shuswap Laundry Operation, we can help! With close to a decade working on all major brands, our Lead Technician has learned a lot about how On-Premise and Vended laundry machines operate, how to figure out what's going on, and how to fix them.
Commercial Laundry Equipment
Repairs & Troubleshooting
Below, we describe some of the repair and troubleshooting services we perform for BC businesses that run laundry rooms with any kind of commercial laundry equipment, from small chassis washers to large flatwork ironers. We offer repairs and troubleshooting on both on-premise machines and vended machines.
If your laundry machines are down and you need service, it's important to give us as much information as you possibly can. Sometimes we can diagnose issues over the phone with your maintenance people if we have enough information to roll with and that will save you time and money. Alternatively, if we have an idea of the problem and we have parts on hand, that can save you money by eliminating multiple service calls or help us to schedule out service after parts have been ordered. We obviously can't do that with every issue, but we try to do it as often as we can to save you money and us time in our laundry repair schedule.
When we can't figure it out over the phone, below we have outlined the protocols we follow to troubleshoot repairs when we are on site.

Commercial Dryer Repairs
& Troubleshooting
Generally speaking, when a commercial dryer isn't running or isn't running properly, we are going to run through a thorough checklist of all the components of the dryer. Here are the basics we go through when trying to troubleshoot why your commercial dryer isn't working:
-
Identify the symptom/error codes
-
Check utilities: power, gas/steam supply
-
Check airflow: lint screen, exhaust duct, make-up air
-
Check start/safety interlocks: door, belt switch, overloads, airflow proving
-
Check heat system (gas/electric/steam components)
-
Check mechanical drive and drum/blower (belt, rollers, bearings, pulley, obstructions)
-
Check controls/electrical (relays/contactors, sensors, wiring, VFD if equipped)
-
Document findings and watch for safety red flags (gas smell, overheating, scorched wiring)

Commercial Washer Extractor Repairs & Troubleshooting
Commercial Washer extractor repair and troubleshooting is just as involved and complicated as dryers. If possible, we like to get as much info as possible about the issue for our service-call prep: photos of codes, short video of symptom, basic voltage/flow observations, timeline of when it changed, etc.
Then, once on site, if we have to troubleshoot, here's a basic overview of our process when troubleshooting a commercial washer extractor:
-
Safety checks (inspect machine and connections)
-
Error codes (if machine turns on)
-
Capture the Machine Info
-
Physical machine inspection
-
Utilities check (power, water, etc.)
-
Fill problems?
-
Drain problems?
-
Wash action problems?
-
Extraction problems?
-
Vibration/walking?
-
Leaks?
-
Heating/temp issues?
-
Chemical injection/pump issues?
-
Electrical/control faults?
-
Site factors (layout, design/venting, etc.)

Flatwork Ironer Repairs & Troubleshooting
Flatwork Ironers, although great in theory, are actually QUITE delicate and finicky machines (no matter the make or model) and work best when their operators are well trained in the dos and don'ts of flat ironer operation.
When they go down and we need to figure out why, we run through a basic list of flatwork iron troubleshooting:
-
Safety + lockout/tagout
-
Identify symptom + record codes
-
No power dead machine checks
-
Powers on but won’t run checks
-
Feed problems + jams
-
Belts/tapes condition + tracking + tension
-
Drive system: motor/VFD/gearbox/bearings/encoder
-
Heating system checks (steam / gas / electric)
-
Finish quality issues (wrinkles/damp/shine/scorching)
-
Exhaust/ventilation + lint management
-
Sensors, switches, and interlocks
-
Controlled restart + documentation + report
