5 signs your machine needs a service

Machines usually warn us before they fail. Catch these signs early and you avoid long downtime and big repair bills.

5 signs your machine needs a service
  1. Strange noises or smells. Grinding, clicking or a burning smell mean something is wearing or overheating. Stop and report it.
  2. Error codes that keep coming back. Restarting the machine is not a repair. Write the code down and tell the technician.
  3. Alarms that won’t clear. Never silence an alarm and carry on. Alarms protect patients.
  4. Running hot. Overheating shortens a machine’s life. Check that vents are clear and the room is not too hot.
  5. The service date has passed. Check the service sticker on the machine. If it’s overdue, book a service.
Remember: small faults become big repairs. Reporting early usually means one small part and one short visit.
