Why your Carter-Hoffmann food warmer & holding cabinet is not heating

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: check whether an ignition click or spark is audible at all when it should be heating. Also, 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. If none of that changes anything, heating elements, igniters, and gas valves combine high current or combustible gas, and that combination is a licensed-technician job, not a home fix.
