When Should You Get Your Equipment Serviced?

There comes a time in every restaurant owners life where they will need to get their appliances serviced. While we are huge believers in having them serviced regularly, sometimes it’s hard to keep the schedule up, and things get forgotten. If you haven’t serviced your equipment in a while, here is a quick guideline for when different items will need to be worked on.


Refrigerators & Freezers

There are a few key observations that will show when your fridge needs to be serviced. Ice on the exterior is one of the first warning signs. This can mean that the temperature is not correct on the inside. Temperature problems are another issue that you will find in refrigeration, whether it’s getting too cool or warming up. Door issues can come up with the unit won’t close or seal properly. Sometimes issues just come up from age. If your unit is more than 10-15 years old, it will probably need regular maintenance.

Ice Machine

Ice machines are heavily used, and can experience some poor performance issues that your local commercial appliance repair company in Missouri can fix. Some of the most common are water flow issues, the unit leaking water, the machine is too warm, or it just needs a semi-annual cleaning.

HVAC

It’s not going to be a question when your HVAC needs to be serviced. There are some OBVIOUS problems, and you’ll probably start by noticing that the kitchen is getting hot. Other challenges could include water leaking where it shouldn’t, strange mildew odors in the air, and clanking sounds in your unit. If you notice any of these, or just aren’t sure when it was services last, it’s time to schedule an appointment.

Ovens

Curious about the most common complaints with ovens? Generally it will involve a pilot light not staying lit, the oven not getting up to temperature, the oven getting TOO hot, or just not cooking evenly. If these sound familiar, let us know.

Fryers

Is your fryer starting to act up? Some of the common challenges you'll run into with them is that the pilot light will not stay lit, burners can burn out regularly, and general temperature control issues. If you find that you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s time to have your unit serviced. If you are located in Missouri, you know who to call!
