Commercial Oven Parts: What You Need to Know
Oven parts include many different components inside and outside of the unit. Although most ovens are built for longevity and durability, some parts still wear out over time and need replacement. Even the most well-maintained ovens eventually need some type of repair for optimal operation in a high-volume setting. Utilizing commercial oven accessories and parts such as racks, spits, casters, doors, stacking kits, pan glides, and legs can restore functionality to the oven with minimal down time and low repair costs.
Common Questions About Oven Parts
Can I use oven parts from other brands in my commercial oven?
Some commercial oven parts are interchangeable between brands, but not all. Many pieces, such as sheet pans, baskets, and paddles, can be used with any oven large enough to fit them. Other pieces are designed for specific uses, such as stacking kits or gas connector kits for a particular brand. These items won't work with ovens other than the specific model for which they're designed.
Control knobs can have different connection types, meaning a knob intended for one brand won't necessarily have the appropriate opening or gradation markings to work with other ovens. Choosing a control knob that matches the ones already installed on the machine also ensures a unified aesthetic appearance.
Items such as connector pipes and cords must always be chosen based on their compatibility with the oven you're using, as mismatched power or fuel supply parts could cause an electrical short or gas leak. Consult your unit's product specification page and spec sheet to see which ovens an individual piece will work with.
Should I replace the glass in my oven door if it's cracked?
Commercial oven door windows have multiple layers of glass to better insulate the interior and protect the user from escaping heat, though if one of these panes is broken, standard safety precautions might not be effective any longer. While the oven may continue to operate and maintain appropriate cooking temperatures, the remaining panes of glass will be exposed to more heat than they're designed to withstand, which could lead to further glass breakage. Broken glass presents a hazard to you and your employees, along with the heat that could forcefully escape the oven in the case of breakage.
Can my oven still function if a single piece breaks?
Commercial ovens are sturdy machines, and there may be many instances where the oven seems to be operating just fine with a damaged or broken component. However, that doesn't mean the oven is safe to use. Continuing to operate a damaged oven can put guests and employees in danger and could possibly void the equipment's warranty and/or create a fire hazard. It's important to quickly repair any damaged or missing oven parts – no matter how small or insignificant they may seem – to keep your kitchen safe and operational.
