A commercial kitchen failure at Aloft Perth brought operations to a standstill when the hotel's heavy-duty oven system began throwing intermittent faults at 27 Rowe Avenue, Rivervale. With a full-service hotel kitchen relying on consistent oven performance, any unresolved electrical fault puts food service and guest satisfaction directly at risk.
The Fault
The oven's main contactor, a 32A 240V unit, was identified as the likely source of the problem. Intermittent faults are among the most challenging electrical issues to diagnose because the equipment often performs normally during inspection. The fault could not be reproduced on arrival, requiring a methodical assessment of the contactor and associated control circuit before a repair path was confirmed.
The Repair
PEMS technician Benjamin coordinated with colleague James Harris, who collected a replacement contactor and returned to site. The team moved the oven out from its position, replaced the main 32A 240V contactor, and ran a full cook cycle to verify the repair. Earlier groundwork by R. McGivern, including fitting stainless heavy-duty castors to allow oven movement, made access and future servicing significantly easier. Testing confirmed no recurring faults during the cook cycle.
The Outcome
The Aloft Perth kitchen returned to full operation with the oven running cleanly through a complete cook cycle. Because the fault is intermittent, PEMS left direct contact details with the head chef to capture any future error codes as they occur.
