Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: confirm the food warmer & holding cabinet has power, any gas supply valve is open, and a simple reset — power off 60 seconds, back on — doesn't restore heat. Past that point, heating elements, igniters, and gas valves combine high current or combustible gas, and that combination is a licensed-technician job, not a home fix.
