Steam Table Service FAQs

My walk-in cooler temperature is rising. What should I do first?

1) Check if the condenser unit is running. 2) Inspect condenser coils for dirt and debris — blocked coils are a common cause. 3) Ensure walk-in door gaskets are sealing properly. 4) Check if evaporator fan is running. 5) Look for ice buildup on evaporator coils (defrost system failure). If temperature is rising significantly, move temperature-sensitive inventory and call a technician immediately — this is an emergency situation.

Are preventive maintenance contracts worth the cost?

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.
