There may be warning indications of a possible issue with your pizza oven before it reaches the stage of total failure. It’s important you recognise these early warning signals which can all be avoided with planned preventative maintenance contracts.
If you want to avoid a breakdown situation altogether, you should always schedule periodic inspections for your equipment.
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is a proactive approach to maintaining equipment and systems to prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
In commercial kitchens, PPM ensures that vital equipment like extractor fans, refrigeration units, and cooking appliances are regularly inspected, cleaned, and serviced to operate efficiently and safely.
By scheduling routine maintenance, businesses can extend the lifespan of their equipment, reduce the risk of sudden failures, and comply with health and safety regulations. PPM not only improves operational reliability but also helps avoid downtime, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted workflow in the kitchen.
Some common issues include inconsistent temperatures, broken heating elements, malfunctioning thermostats, conveyor belt problems, ignition failures in gas ovens, and control panel malfunctions. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues.
This could be due to faulty heating elements, a broken thermostat, clogged burners, or electrical problems. For gas ovens, the issue might be with the igniter or gas valve. A professional technician can diagnose and repair the problem.
Uneven cooking is usually a sign of poor temperature distribution, blocked airflow, or damaged heating elements. In conveyor ovens, a misaligned belt or speed control issues can also cause uneven baking.
It’s recommended to have your commercial pizza oven serviced at least twice a year. High-usage kitchens may benefit from quarterly maintenance to ensure optimal performance and minimize breakdowns.
First, check if the gas supply is turned on and the connections are secure. If the oven still won’t ignite, the problem could be a faulty igniter, a blocked burner, or an issue with the gas valve. It’s best to contact a professional to inspect and repair it safely.
Minor repairs, such as replacing a gasket or cleaning the unit, can sometimes be done in-house. However, complex issues involving gas lines, electrical components, or internal mechanisms should always be handled by a certified technician to avoid safety risks and further damage.
This issue can be caused by a faulty thermostat, a failing safety switch, a defective control board, or ventilation problems. An inspection by a professional can identify the root cause and prevent it from recurring.
Regular cleaning, routine maintenance, and prompt repairs for minor issues can significantly extend the lifespan of your oven. Make sure to follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance and use the oven within recommended temperature ranges.
