Re: commercial appliances

Hi, I’ve searched the site and it was quite some time ago that you asked about commercial appliances, I’ve searched my private messages and there’s nothing listed from you. If you need help please don’t hesitate to ask.
Cheers,

Re: commercial appliances

To be honest most of the commercial machines in pubs, clubs and hotels are single phase, you’ll get a 3 phase machine now and again, but not often and these are usually in the larger establishments. In my opinion, if you know the basics of a dishwasher, washing machine etc you should be able to work your way around commercial machines. The commercial machines tend to be easier to work on because they are built to be regularly serviced and tend to have more room to work in, there are exceptions to the rule of course. From my experience the main difference is the customer themself, a commercial customer will often demand the machine is working ASAP, often having senior management on your back asking why you don’t carry 3 tonnes of spare parts on your vehicle, or why you didn’t call 5 minutes after they called you in the middle of the night.
If you run into any problems or just need a bit of advice feel free to get back to me. Or if you feel I’ve missed something out here.
Cheers,
Chris

Re: commercial appliances

thanks chris for your reply do you know of any forum or web site that would show you the guts of the big boys and in your experience does much the same things go wrong with commercial appliances and laundry equipment that would go wrong with domestice do most of the laundry equipment open at the front and do the have similar faults to domestic equipment not many commercial companies would take on domestice engineers a lot of them are looking for corgi reg engineers what about glasswashers are the similar to dishwashers to repair thanks again fasetester 🙂

You forgot to mention the filthy cellars, attics, back store rooms and cubby holes these machines are located in. Buried under heaps of laundry, beer barrels, crates of baked beans and tomato ketchup, or in a sweatshop alleyway between the busy kitchen and bar. No-one you ask either knows what machine is faulty or what the fault is?

Ahhh the commercial world is an exciting challenge for sure. 🙁

And the cold cellars when you’re working on ice-makers with the blowers right in front of you, freezing your knackers off. Working on an appliance in the kitchen when it’s in full flow, hot liquids splashing on you, staff kicking you, sweating like a pig. And god yes, most machines are so tightly boxed in it’s impossible to pull out or work on. I love my job

Re: commercial appliances

john would you work on machines in laundry rooms are the diffcuilt to work on like speedy cleaners would you say a good domestice appliance engineer could repair them 🙂 fasetester

Re: commercial appliances

Easier to work on due to the size of machines, but problem getting tech info and spares for a lot of the commercial laundry equipment.

Re: commercial appliances

If you time your run right, you can get to ‘good’ places around dinner time for free lunch. I’d have to say that I’d prefer commercial stuff to domestic. Most machines are easier to work on, the parts are easier to get to on the machine, but as mentioned before, technical help is rare but parts are readily available.
