Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Repair Bentley TAFE | PEMS

A commercial kitchen ventilation system failure at South Metropolitan TAFE's Bentley campus threatened to shut down student training services in April 2026. With culinary programs running daily and dozens of students depending on fully operational kitchen facilities, getting the equipment back online quickly was critical.

The Fault

The ventilation system serving the commercial kitchen had developed a mechanical fault that left extraction running below safe capacity. Without adequate airflow, heat and cooking fumes were building up beyond acceptable levels. The fault traced back to a motor control issue that was disrupting the fan drive cycle and preventing the system from reaching its designed extraction rate.

The Repair

PEMS technician Benjamin attended the Bentley site and carried out a full diagnostic on the ventilation control circuit. He identified the faulty motor component, sourced the correct replacement part, and completed the repair to restore the system to full operational capacity. Benjamin worked methodically through the fault, keeping disruption to the training kitchen to a minimum throughout the process.

The Outcome

With the ventilation system repaired and performing to specification, South Metropolitan TAFE Bentley was able to keep its commercial kitchen operational and student training programs on track. Caterlink's site obligations were met without prolonged downtime.
