Prep tables fail health inspections more often than any other piece of refrigeration in a kitchen, because the pans on top are the hardest part of the unit to keep cold. JRC repairs prep tables throughout Ropesville, TX.
The rail is cooled by air moving under the pans, and anything that interrupts it pushes product into the danger zone while the cabinet below reads perfectly fine. Overfilled pans, missing pan dividers, a lid left open through service, or a blocked evaporator will all do it. We check the airflow path and the actual pan temperatures rather than the cabinet display, then deal with the refrigeration side: condenser cleaning, gaskets, fan motors and charge.
