Each page says what the work involves, what moves the figure and what the visit looks like on equipment set into stone rather than pushed into a gap. Starting figures are on the page for the job, not behind a form. 35 — jobs written up 7 — machines we take on from $95 — diagnostic, credited to the repair Every one — is a from, never a final price ## All 35 of them Sorted by the machine they belong to. Each page carries its own starting figure. No services published yet. ## Grease management, gas supply and salt Three of the jobs on this list have no equivalent anywhere else on our work. Grease management is sold elsewhere as cleaning and is really fire safety: the radiants, the tray and the channel are a system for keeping rendered fat off open burners, and when it stops working the grill sets about the food. Gas supply and regulator work exists because the run feeding an outdoor island was made, tested and then sealed inside masonry, and it has been ageing in salt air ever since where nobody can see it. And the salt air protection visit exists because four of these machines stand outside, where distance from the water is a better predictor of service life than the age on the plate. ## Commercial-style cooking that can describe itself The range, the cooktops and the wall ovens are the other half of this badge and they behave nothing like the terrace. They are heavy, they are built into joinery, and — unlike anything outdoors — they publish decoded error tables. A code with its two digits read out in full will frequently tell us which board or which link failed before anybody is dispatched. So the first question on any call here is simply which of the two halves we are talking about. It changes the method entirely. ## Four things that shorten the visit What we ask for - Whether the machine is indoors or outdoors, and what it is built into - Natural gas or LP, if you know — and we will check rather than assume - The full code if there is a display, digits included - A photograph of the island or the run, on anything built in What happens next - We say what we think it is and what the visit will cost before you commit - You get a time slot we can keep, not the earliest one that sounds good - The diagnosis happens on site, and the scope and price go to you in writing before anything is opened - If the honest answer is that the repair is not worth it, we say so ## By appliance instead If you would rather begin from what it is than from what needs doing. ## Several of these end with us telling you not to book An undercounter refrigerator that cannot hold temperature in a sealed stone island is not going to be fixed by a part, and we would rather say that than fit one. A cooktop reporting a supply problem needs an electrician. A grill that has not been given a full preheat is not underperforming. All three are conversations that cost us the job, and all three are the reason somebody calls us again. ## The questions this page is asked Do you work on DCS equipment that is no longer sold here? — Yes, and it is a good deal of what we open. The ranges, the wall ovens, the cooktops and the indoor hoods are in South Florida kitchens and are not in the current US catalog, which changes the parts conversation rather than ending it. We say plainly when a part is genuinely no longer available. Is outdoor work more expensive? — Usually, and for two reasons we quote separately rather than burying. What the machine is set into decides how long it takes to reach, and how long the salt has been working on it decides whether a fixing comes out in twenty seconds or twenty minutes. Can you work on the gas run itself? — We test it, we find where it is failing, and we do the work that belongs to the appliance and its connections. Where the answer lies further upstream than that, we say so and tell you who to call rather than improvising on somebody's gas supply. ## How this list was decided, and what is not on it ### Weighted like the equipment, not like a template 35 jobs, and they lean the way this make leans in this market: 4 of the 7 machines stand outdoors, so the grill and the island carry the list. There is no laundry here, no dishwasher and no microwave, because the make builds none for this market — and nothing was invented to fill the space where a sister site’s laundry jobs would be. ### What a starting figure is Every number on these pages is a from. The diagnostic is from $95, credited toward the repair, and no final price is published anywhere on this site — the cost is measured at your equipment and agreed in writing before anything is opened. ## Not sure which of these it is? Tell us what the machine is doing, whether it is indoors or out, and what it is built into. That is usually enough for us to say which page you are on. Where a diagnostic is the right next step it is from $95, credited toward the repair. --- **[Read full article: DCS repairs, indoors and out](https://dcsmiami.support/services-archive/)**
