Alrighty guys, you know that there are certain high volume stores and some stores that identify as high volume stores. They want their stuff fixed but will never be slow enough to let you do the job.
I got sent to do a recall inspection of certain grills with an actuator within a certain date range. As soon as I arrived I get this ; hey what are you here to fix?
“Oh no, I’m not here to fix anything, just a quick inspection for a possible recall.”
If I had let on that there was actually the possibility that their equipment was gonna be down they would have tried to make me reschedule for a time after the next solar eclipse on my day off lol
As fate would have it their grill needed the new part and of course it was 435 degrees and too hot to handle. The customers maintenance guy asked if we could put a bag of ice on it to cool it off, and I was looking for a fan and then the idea hit me to fill the shop vac up with ice and have it blow the cold discharge onto the grill. While I’m waiting on it to cool off it’s the perfect time to write this up and share the pictures with you.

    Literally have no idea what’s going on. Your explanation left me even more confused!

    So, couldn’t that cause issues with potential stress fractures with changing the energy state so quickly?

    This is so brilliant I love it. Clever use of the shop vac!!

    Are they too busy to clean the damn thing?

    That carbon is giving me a case of the vapors. I need a mint julip and a fainting couch.

    Man, I hated working on those things. This looks like a CFA grill, maybe? McDonald’s was always way way worse.

    Those grills drive me nuts. Leveling sensors, elevation switch, hight encoders that use mils, 3 different PCBs, and the seals on the back never hold and let grease into the actuator. And Chick-fa-a is always grumpy about you working on them but the users are always complaining the grilled nuggets aren’t cooked enough. At least my locations clean them.
