RDU-485GD
DCS RDU-485GD Wide Griddle Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Five burner ignition and flame
- Griddle burner and temperature control
- Electric oven heating and temperature
- Oven temperature against the dial
- Door gasket condition
The RDU-485GD is a 48-inch dual fuel range, which puts it among the wider ranges DCS made. It has five gas burners, a griddle, and an electric oven section below, and it is usually installed in larger Houston kitchens with a heavy-duty ventilation hood above.
At 48 inches there is more to look at. We test each of the five burners and the griddle burner for ignition and flame, then check how the griddle holds heat. The oven section is larger than on a 30-inch range, so we check bake and broil operation, the door gaskets, and how the actual temperature compares with the setting.
A range this wide is heavy and fits tightly in its opening, so we plan carefully and ask you to tell us about any clearance concerns when you book. It is an older model and some parts are scarce, so we confirm availability first and give a written price. A licensed plumber handles any gas line or shutoff work beyond the range. Before ordering, we match the model and serial number to the label.

Why is a 48-inch range harder to service?
It is larger and heavier, and the oven section is bigger. We check the oven and the burner groups separately so the repair is accurate.
The griddle does not heat but the burners do. What next?
That points to the griddle burner, its igniter or its thermostat control. We test those parts directly instead of guessing. On a 48-inch range the griddle burner is separate from the five surface burners, so one can work while the other does not.
Do you repair 48-inch DCS ranges that are around ten years old?
Yes. We repair older DCS ranges, confirm part availability first, give a written price, and say plainly if the repair does not make sense. The cost and the age of the range both go into that honest recommendation.
