Common Rational faults we fix

Our Rational-trained engineers know the ecosystem in detail — the SCC and iCombi Pro generations, the CombiMaster series, and the fault patterns that show up after 18–24 months of heavy commercial use. We carry diagnostic equipment for live fault tracing on site.

Steam generator faults

Scale build-up, water inlet failure, pressure switch issues — the most common Rational fault we attend in Kent kitchens.

Drainage faults

Blocked or failed drainage, pump faults and sensor errors stopping cycles completing cleanly.

Sensor & probe faults

Core temperature probe and cabinet sensor failures throwing service codes and inaccurate cooking.

Gas valve & ignition faults

Gas valve, ignition and flame-failure faults on gas SCC/iCombi units. Gas Safe registered work, tested and certified.

Door & seal faults

Door seal degradation, hinge and locking faults causing heat/steam loss and failed cooking results.

Electrical & control faults

Control board, contactor and wiring faults across the SCC, iCombi Pro and CombiMaster service-code range. Board-level diagnosis.
