American Range, Pacoima California (Hatco Corporation family since October 2022)
When an American Range goes down in an LA kitchen, the failures our techs at Same Day Appliance Repair run most are the gas-side items: a thermocouple, a clogged burner orifice, a burner ignitor, and a gas valve, plus the oven-compartment thermostat on the oven below. On ARROB sealed-burner models the burner-well seal is a brand-specific item, and on ARCB convection-range units the convection fan motor and on ARCH charbroilers the grate. The Pacoima factory is the operational edge: parts ship to LA in 1-to-3 days, often same-day pickup for the San Fernando Valley and LA proper, faster than ITW, Ali Group, or Middleby distribution. We service AR restaurant ranges, ARR heavy-duty, ARROB sealed-burner, ARCB convection-range, ARCH charbroilers, and HD chef-tops across the five counties. Typical work runs $180-$320 for a thermocouple, $180-$280 for a burner-orifice cleaning, $260-$440 for a gas valve, $200-$340 for an oven thermostat, and $550-$950 for a control board, typically 15-to-25% below an equivalent Vulcan or Garland category. Commercial diagnostic is $120, waived with the repair, BHGS #A49573, EPA 608 Universal certified (#1346255700410).
Across the American Range equipment our techs service in LA, the failures cluster on the gas burner-and-oven side. Thermocouples lead, the safety device that shuts the gas if the pilot or flame drops, an easy and frequent fix. Burner-orifice cleaning is next, carbon and grease narrow the orifice and weaken the flame. Then burner ignitors and gas valves, and the oven-compartment thermostat on the range-oven combination. ARROB sealed-burner seals and door hinges follow on the higher-cycle units, then convection fan motors on ARCB and grates on ARCH charbroilers. Heavy-duty ARR burner refurbishes and the control board are the last and most expensive. The Pacoima parts proximity keeps most of these single-visit, our techs often pick the part up same-day from the SFV factory rather than waiting on a national chain.
American Range Corporation manufactures in Pacoima, California (13592 Desmond St., Pacoima CA 91331 — San Fernando Valley, LA County, 15–20 miles from downtown LA). The company became part of the Hatco Corporation family in October 2022 (per americanrange.com — "American Range is a Hatco Company"). Hatco Corporation is a Wisconsin-based commercial foodservice equipment manufacturer (Milwaukee WI HQ); American Range retained its California Pacoima factory under the Hatco umbrella — California production remains operational, and the Pacoima LA-proper location is actually closer to most LA service customers than the historically-referenced Cypress location was. That Hatco parent plus California-retained manufacturing combination delivers Hatco's national distribution scale plus local LA parts proximity for service operators.
Critical disambiguations worth stating up front, the "American" name creates real buyer confusion: this is American Range, specifically American Range Corporation out of Pacoima CA (Hatco family). It is NOT American Standard (the plumbing-fixtures company, different corporation, different industry), NOT American West (various unrelated companies), NOT Americana (brand-name confusion). When you're sourcing parts or scheduling service, specify "American Range" (or the specific AR/ARR/ARROB/ARCB/ARCH/HD model) so you're routed correctly.
American Range manufactures both commercial ranges (this page's scope, AR-series restaurant, ARR heavy-duty, ARROB sealed-burner, ARCB convection-range, ARCH charbroiler, HD/HDCT heavy-duty chef-tops) and residential ranges (Performer line for luxury home-kitchen installations). Dual commercial-plus-residential coverage from a single manufacturer is relatively rare in the commercial range market; for LA operators running American Range equipment at both commercial operations and luxury residences, our service capacity spans both.
American Range commercial equipment we service
AR-series, restaurant ranges
American Range's core restaurant-range line. Gas burners on top with oven compartment below, sized across different burner counts and configurations. Mid-volume LA restaurant back-of-house standard at American Range-spec operations. Service: gas valve, burner orifice cleaning, thermocouple, burner ignitor, oven thermostat, door hinge.
ARR-series, heavy-duty
Reinforced heavy-duty range line for higher-volume operations where AR-series spec would be under-specified. Larger burner specs, heavier construction, extended-service components. Common at LA casual-dining and mid-upper restaurant operations.
ARROB, sealed-burner
Sealed-burner variant with enclosed burner wells for easier cleaning and spillover containment. Common at institutional food service, hospital cafeterias, and higher-end restaurant operations where range cleaning protocols matter operationally. Service includes sealed-burner seal replacement as a distinct domain.
ARCB, convection-range
Convection-range combination, gas burners on top with convection oven compartment below. Common at mid-upper LA restaurant operations needing convection capacity without separate oven footprint.
ARCH, charbroilers
American Range charbroiler line for steakhouse and specialty char-cooking applications. Less dominant than Garland Charbroilers GS-series in LA's premium steakhouse cluster but present in value-tier and casual-dining operations.
HD / HDCT, heavy-duty chef-tops
Heavy-duty chef-top configurations for operations running intensive high-burner cooking programs. Common at high-volume casual-dining kitchens and hotel banquet prep operations where chef-top cooking intensity matches operational profile.
Performer, residential line (reference)
American Range's residential line for luxury home kitchen installations. Covered on this page for reference only, our residential American Range service runs separately; call our main line and we'll route Performer service appropriately.
California local-manufacturer trio, American Range + Imperial + Montague
Three California-manufactured commercial range brands deliver structural parts-chain advantages to LA operators compared to national-brand alternatives. American Range (Pacoima CA, 15–20 miles from LA, San Fernando Valley), this page's brand; Hatco Corporation family member since October 2022 with California factory retained. Imperial Range (Corona CA, 60 miles from LA), Middleby Corporation family member since approx 2010s with California manufacturing retained; see our Imperial Range repair page for equivalent brand coverage. Montague (Hayward CA, 360 miles but California-based), Ali Group since July 2022 with California manufacturing continuity; see our Montague oven repair page for the cluster 07 combo.
California trio parts-chain economics: 1–3 day typical parts delivery to LA from California factories beats the 2–5+ day national-brand distribution networks (Ali Group NA Winston-Salem NC, ITW Chicago). For LA operators running tight service-turnaround schedules, particularly mid-volume casual-dining, specialty-cuisine operations, and SFV/LA-proper kitchens, the trio's California proximity is a real operational factor alongside brand-positioning and pricing considerations. Parent-corp mix: American Range is Hatco family, Imperial is Middleby family, Montague is Ali Group — all three keep California manufacturing as the defining LA-service operational advantage despite different consolidator parent identities.

American Range repair, frequently asked
Who owns American Range?
American Range Corporation became part of the Hatco Corporation family in October 2022 (per americanrange.com — "American Range is a Hatco Company"). Hatco Corporation is a Wisconsin-based commercial foodservice equipment manufacturer (Milwaukee WI HQ). American Range manufactures in Pacoima, California (13592 Desmond St., Pacoima CA 91331) — the California factory remains operational under Hatco umbrella. Founded over 40 years ago, American Range is now a Hatco Corporation subsidiary alongside Hatco's other commercial foodservice brands. Critical disambiguation for buyers: this is American Range, NOT American Standard (plumbing fixtures, different company), NOT American West (different company), NOT Americana (brand-name confusion). One company: American Range Corporation, Pacoima CA, Hatco family. They make both commercial and residential ranges (Performer is the residential line); this combo is scoped to commercial range service.
What's the Pacoima CA local-manufacturer advantage?
American Range manufactures in Pacoima, California — that's San Fernando Valley, LA County, roughly 15–20 miles from downtown LA (much closer than originally documented Cypress location, factory relocated to Pacoima per current americanrange.com listing). American Range parts typically ship to LA in 1–3 business days direct from Pacoima — and for the SFV/LA-proper service area, often same-day pickup possible. That beats national-brand parts chains (2–5 days from ITW Chicago, Ali Group Winston-Salem NC, or Middleby distribution) and dramatically faster than value-tier Chinese OEM chains (5–10 days via WebstaurantStore or Restaurant Depot). For LA-local service where parts lead-time affects service-call economics, the Pacoima factory proximity is a structural advantage. American Range plus Imperial Range (Corona CA, 60 miles) plus Montague (Hayward CA, 360 miles but still California) form the California local-manufacturer trio with shared parts-chain advantages.
What's the difference between American Range AR-series and ARR-series?
AR-series is the core restaurant-range line, gas burners on top with oven compartment below, sized across different burner counts and configurations for mid-volume LA restaurant back-of-house. ARR-series is the heavy-duty variant with reinforced construction, larger burner specs, and extended-service components for higher-volume operations. ARROB is the sealed-burner variant, sealed burner wells for easier cleaning and spillover containment, common in kitchens where range cleaning protocols matter (institutional food service, hospital cafeterias, higher-end restaurant operations). ARCB is the convection-range combination; ARCH is the charbroiler line; Performer is the residential line; HD/HDCT are the heavy-duty chef-top configurations. Call with your model name; service path differs meaningfully across the product lines.
American Range makes both commercial and residential, is this page commercial-only?
Yes, this combo page is scoped specifically to commercial range service. American Range Corporation manufactures both commercial ranges (AR/ARR/ARROB/ARCB/ARCH/HD lines, covered on this page) and residential ranges (Performer line, cooked into LA custom kitchen installations, high-end residential renovations, and premium-residential appliance retailers). Dual commercial-plus-residential coverage from a single manufacturer is relatively rare in the commercial range market, most commercial range makers are pure-commercial-focused. For LA operators running Performer residential ranges at home in luxury kitchens, our residential service capacity covers that as well; call the main line and we'll route accordingly.
What does American Range repair cost in LA?
$120 flat commercial diagnostic, waived with repair. Typical American Range service ranges: thermocouple $180–$320, burner orifice cleaning (per burner) $180–$280, burner ignitor $220–$380, gas valve $260–$440, oven-compartment thermostat $200–$340, ARROB sealed-burner seal replacement $240–$400, door hinge service $200–$360, ARR heavy-duty burner refurbish $380–$640, ARCH charbroiler grate $260–$440, ARCB convection fan motor $300–$500, control board $550–$950. Most American Range calls land $280–$620 parts-and-labor, typically 15–25% below equivalent Vulcan or Garland range categories. Pacoima CA 1–3 day parts lead-time factors in (often same-day pickup for SFV/LA-proper service area). See our commercial stove repair cost guide.
Why won't my American Range oven or burner stay lit?
The most common cause our techs find is the thermocouple, the safety device that senses the pilot or burner flame and shuts the gas off if it weakens, so a worn or misaligned thermocouple makes the burner or oven die out shortly after lighting; replacement runs $180 to $320. The next cause is a clogged burner orifice, where carbon and grease narrow the opening and weaken the flame enough to trip the safety, cleared with a per-burner orifice cleaning at $180 to $280. We also check the ignitor and the gas valve. Our techs test the flame and the thermocouple signal before deciding which it is. Same Day Appliance Repair, $120 commercial diagnostic, waived with repair.
Are American Range parts faster to get in LA than other brands?
Yes, and it's a structural advantage. American Range manufactures in Pacoima, in the San Fernando Valley, 15 to 20 miles from downtown LA, so parts typically reach LA in 1 to 3 business days direct from the factory, and for the SFV and LA-proper service area our techs can often pick them up same-day. That beats the 2-to-5-day lead from ITW Chicago, Ali Group Winston-Salem, or Middleby distribution, and it's far faster than the 5-to-10-day value-tier OEM chains. American Range plus Imperial (Corona CA) plus Montague (Hayward CA) form the California local-manufacturer trio that keeps our parts lead-time short. Same Day Appliance Repair, $120 commercial diagnostic, waived with repair.
