Triage · Diagnose · Restore
Salad bars, prep tables, and cold wells are the single most failure-prone equipment in a commercial kitchen — and the most visible to health inspectors. We built our practice around all four failure modes.
01
Top Pans Above 41°F
Cold wells reading 45-50°F at lunch rush — health-code violation in real time and shrink piling up by the hour.
02
Bottom Storage Warming
Undercounter cooler under the prep table climbing temp while pans stay cold — usually airflow split, not refrigerant.
03
Frost on Evap, No Cooling
Defrost stuck, fan motor failed, or coil iced over. We thaw, diagnose root cause, and clear before service.
04
Compressor Short-Cycling
Condenser packed with grease and lint, fan motor wearing, compressor overheating. Standard cookline failure — and what we repair most often.

FAQ
Kitchen Managers Ask
01
Why does my salad bar keep going above 41°F?
Most warm-pan calls trace to one of four causes — clogged condenser coil, weak evaporator fan, refrigerant undercharge, or improper pan loading. We pull pressures, verify airflow, and rebalance the system on the first visit.
02
Do you repair drop-in cold wells and self-serve units?
Yes. Drop-in refrigerated wells, self-serve cold bars, and hotel/cafeteria salad lines are core to our repair practice. We service Atlas Metal, Vollrath, Duke, Wells, and Delfield drop-ins.
03
What prep table brands do you service?
True, Beverage-Air, Continental, Delfield, Traulsen, Turbo Air, Migali, Norlake — sandwich/salad prep tables, mega-tops, and pizza prep units. See our cookline low-boy service.
04
Can you keep our salad bar passing health inspection?
Yes. Our PM visits include calibrated temperature verification, gasket inspection, condenser coil cleaning, and documented service records that satisfy health-code documentation requirements.
05
How fast can you respond to a warm salad bar?
Same-day across both counties. Salad bars and prep tables are triage-priority calls because every minute above 41°F is shrink and a potential health-code violation. Call (909) 239-6364.
