Fix & Repair Engineers were called out to a busy bakery in Walthamstow, East London, after their Italforni deck oven stopped heating correctly. For a bakery, a deck oven fault can quickly disrupt production, delay orders and affect daily trading, so a fast engineering response was required.
Our commercial catering engineer attended site within 2 hours to investigate the fault, assess the condition of the oven and carry out the necessary work to keep the kitchen operational.
The Problem
The customer reported that the Italforni deck oven was not heating as expected. On inspection, the engineer found that the oven had suffered excessive heat damage around the internal components.
The issue had been made worse by flour in the working environment entering the oven’s component areas. Over time, this flour contamination had contributed to burning around the terminal connections and wiring looms, resulting in damaged connections and unreliable heating performance.
Engineer’s Diagnosis
After safely inspecting the oven, the engineer identified:
- Heat-damaged terminal connections
- Damaged and affected wiring looms
- Flour contamination inside the oven component area
- Burnt electrical connections affecting oven operation
- Replacement parts required for a permanent repair
This type of fault is particularly important to address quickly, as damaged wiring and terminal connections can affect performance, reliability and safety.
Work Carried Out
The engineer cleaned out the affected areas of the oven and removed built-up contamination where accessible. The required terminal connections were then remade to restore operation as a temporary repair while replacement parts were ordered.
The engineer also provided the necessary advisories to the customer, explaining the cause of the issue and the importance of replacing the affected components to complete a permanent repair.
Result
The Italforni deck oven was brought back into working condition as a temporary fix, allowing the bakery to continue operating with minimal disruption. Replacement parts were ordered so that the required follow-up repair could be completed properly.
By attending within 2 hours and carrying out the necessary temporary repair, Fix & Repair Engineers helped keep the customer’s kitchen up and running during service.
