Oil quality directly affects fryer performance and longevity. Degraded oil causes: higher operating temperatures needed, longer cook times, off-flavors, and increased carbon buildup on heating elements and thermostat probes. Proper oil management includes: filtering daily, testing oil quality with strips or meters, full oil changes based on usage (typically every 1-3 weeks), and cleaning the fryer tank when changing oil. Poor oil management is a leading cause of premature fryer failure.

Yes — most food service operators find PM contracts reduce total repair costs by 30-50% compared to reactive-only maintenance. Benefits include: reduced emergency repair calls (the most expensive type), extended equipment lifespan, maintained food safety compliance, priority scheduling for PM customers, and detailed maintenance records for health inspections. The ROI is especially strong for high-volume operations where any downtime is costly.

Kitchen equipment emergencies include: walk-in cooler/freezer temperature rising (food inventory at risk), gas leak or smell, fire suppression system discharge, electrical sparks or burning smells, complete loss of cooking equipment during service hours, dishwasher failure during a busy shift, or any situation creating an immediate food safety risk. These situations require immediate professional attention and may require temporary closure.
