Imperial commercial ovens, ranges, stoves, and range hoods are a staple in restaurant and institutional kitchens because they are simple, heavy-duty, and built to be serviced rather than replaced. That also means most Imperial service calls come down to a small, predictable set of components — and in nearly every case a replacement part is available and inexpensive compared to the cost of a new unit.
Common Imperial failure points by equipment type
- Ovens & convection ovens: door gaskets that have gone flat or torn (heat loss, uneven baking), oven racks and rack supports worn from repeated sliding, and pilot assemblies or thermostats that drift out of calibration.
- Ranges & stoves: burner heads and orifices clogged or corroded from grease, control valves that stick, and knobs that strip out from years of twisting.
- Range hoods: grease-clogged filters and filter frames, worn exhaust fan motor bearings (a rattling or grinding sound is the usual first symptom), and failed light sockets.
Find your model and serial number first
Imperial's data plate is typically mounted on the front frame below the control panel on ranges and ovens, or inside the hood's filter bay on range hoods. Record the full model number (for example an IR-, ICVE-, or IHSA- series designation) and serial number before you order — this is the same first step covered in our general worn-parts replacement guide, and it lets us confirm the exact burner, valve, or gasket that fits your unit instead of a close guess.
OEM vs. aftermarket for Imperial parts
Genuine Imperial OEM parts are sourced from the original manufacturer and match factory specifications exactly. Aftermarket equivalents — common for high-turnover items like burner grates, knobs, and drip pans — meet or exceed OEM specs at a lower price point. Both options ship with our parts warranty, so the choice usually comes down to lead time and budget rather than reliability.

Don't see the exact part listed?
Some older Imperial models use burners, valves, or hardware that aren't listed as standalone SKUs in the online catalog. Email your model and serial number to info@prokitchenspares.com and we'll check availability through our supplier network — see also our FAQ for how we handle parts that aren't yet in the catalog, and the general parts-sourcing guide for what to check before you buy from anyone.
