How We Repair Your Chicago Folder
Steamers, ironing presses, flatwork ironers and dry-cleaning machines combine heating, steam generation and motors, often in commercial settings.
Chicago Folder models often use model-specific control boards, sensors and diagnostic modes. We look up your exact model number so the right part goes in the first time.
Common Folder Problems We Fix
Leaking water
Worn gaskets, cracked hoses or a valve not seating.
Rollers or drive not turning
A worn drive chain, belt or motor.
No steam
Scale in the boiler or lines, a failed element or a stuck solenoid valve.
Not heating
A failed element or thermostat, or a safety cutoff.

Do you work on all Chicago models?

Should I repair or replace my folder?
A folder typically lasts about 8 to 20 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
