- Inspecting electrical components, voltage, and power cord
- Inspecting doors, struts, interior surfaces, and all connections
- Checking airflow and replacing HEPA filter as needed (on incubated models)
- Replacing commonly worn parts
- Checking function of alarms, controls, and service menu
- Inspecting compressor components, refrigeration line, condenser, and evaporator (on refrigerated models)
- Reviewing maintenance procedures with customer
- Reviewing technical data in the past 12 months
- Recommending upgrades and additional services or accessories as needed
* PM services may vary by equipment and model.
