Catering Equipment Planned Preventative Maintenance Contracts
Need PPM For Your Business? Our expert kitchen equipment engineers will be able to guide you on the best contract for you catering needs.
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.

Frequestly Asked Questions
- Poor cleaning performance: Dishes are not coming out clean, which could be due to clogged spray arms, low water pressure, or worn-out seals.
- Leaking water: Leaks can occur from faulty door seals, cracked hoses, or a damaged pump.
- Not draining properly: This could be caused by a clogged drain, a broken drain pump, or issues with the drain hose.
- Electrical problems: These include tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, or issues with the control panel.
- Strange noises: Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds might indicate a failing motor, loose components, or debris caught in the pump.
- Check the drain filter: It might be clogged with food debris.
- Inspect the drain hose: Ensure it's not kinked or blocked.
- Test the drain pump: Listen for unusual sounds; it could be malfunctioning.
- Reset the dishwasher: Sometimes a simple reset can clear electronic glitches. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be time to call a professional.
- Loud or unusual noises: Grinding or whining sounds during operation.
- Poor cleaning results: If the spray arms aren’t spinning properly, the motor may be weak.
- Failure to start: The dishwasher might not start at all if the motor is completely burnt out.
- Overheating: If the motor overheats, the dishwasher might shut down mid-cycle.
Regular maintenance should be done:
- Daily: Clean out food traps, check for clogs, and wipe down seals and gaskets.
- Weekly: Run a cleaning cycle with a descaler to remove mineral buildup and clean the spray arms.
- Monthly: Inspect hoses, check for leaks, and ensure the dishwasher is leveled to prevent strain on the components. Routine professional servicing every 6 to 12 months can help catch potential issues early.
This depends on several factors:
- Age of the dishwasher: If it's over 10 years old, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run.
- Cost of repairs: If repairs are frequent and costly, investing in a new unit could save money on ongoing maintenance.
- Efficiency: Newer models are often more energy and water-efficient, which could lower operating costs. It’s advisable to get a quote from a technician and compare it to the cost of a new dishwasher.
Streaks can be caused by:
- Hard water deposits: A water softener or a rinse aid can help reduce streaks.
- Improper detergent use: Too much or too little detergent can leave residue. Use the recommended amount for commercial dishwashers.
- Dirty spray arms: If the spray arms are clogged, they may not rinse the dishes properly.
- Incorrect water temperature: The water should be at the manufacturer's recommended temperature, usually between 150°F and 160°F for washing.
