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.

The hi-limit switch is a safety device that cuts power when fryer temperature exceeds safe limits. Common causes: faulty thermostat allowing oil to overheat, failing hi-limit switch itself, improper temperature settings, low oil level exposing heating elements, or carbon buildup insulating heating elements. Never bypass the hi-limit switch — it prevents fires. Call a technician to diagnose the root cause.

Signs of compressor problems: unit not reaching temperature despite running constantly, compressor making loud knocking or grinding sounds, compressor starting and stopping rapidly (short cycling), compressor not starting at all, or high pressure shutdowns. Compressor failure is typically the most expensive refrigeration repair. Early diagnosis can sometimes allow for less costly repairs — don't wait if you hear unusual compressor noises.
