Determining If Your Restaurant Equipment Needs Maintenance

Not only does proper restaurant equipment maintenance reduce the likelihood of major equipment breakdowns, but it keeps your kitchen operation running efficiently. In today's blog, Fast Fix LLC offers some tips for determining if your equipment is in need of some professional maintenance. Keep reading for some signs to look for and questions to ask yourself.

Restaurant Equipment Maintenance


While some maintenance and repair needs are extremely noticeable, like when a piece of equipment doesn't turn on at all, other maintenance needs often go unnoticed. These small issues that remain unaddressed can lead to bigger, more expensive repairs and problems down the road. In addition, it can lead to premature failure and a shorter lifespan for the equipment. As your premier Missouri restaurant equipment maintenance company, we're here to help you understand when your equipment should be looked at.

Questions to Ask Yourself 


When determining if you're in need of Missouri restaurant equipment maintenance, ask yourself these questions from the Commercial Food Equipment Service Association (CFESA):
  • Are all hinges, handles, knobs, grates, etc in good condition? 
  • Are door gaskets worn or torn? 
  • Does the gas-fired equipment burn a steady blue flame? 
  • Are any motors noisy or don't turn on at all? 
  • Are equipment temperatures within +/- 5°F of the desired setting? 
  • Is water-fed equipment de-limed on a periodic basis? 
  • Is the hood system operating? Are the hood filters clean? 
  • Is the fire suppression system operational? Has it been inspected recently? 
  • Are all utilities confirmed on and resets checked?
