Commercial laundry equipment quarterly maintenance checklist
Every quarter. Lint accumulation and creeping leaks are the two things that get worse fast between visits.

Commercial laundry equipment annual maintenance checklist
Once a year, with panels off to reach the belts, bearings and the parts of the exhaust the quarterly round can't.
Run by: The laundry-equipment service tech on the annual service visit.
What most often fails on a commercial laundry equipment
- Lint screen emptied daily but the exhaust duct behind the dryer never opened, so lint packs the run into a fire hazard.
- Fill hose or drain connection weeping behind the washer, so the base rusts and the floor stays wet unnoticed.
- Washer walking on a soft floor because a leveling foot backed off, and the out-of-balance load hammers the bearings.
- Glazed, cracked drive belt left on until it snaps mid-shift, when a quick annual check would have caught it.
- Gas dryer burner running dirty or sooting, or a steam coil trap stuck, so cycles drag and gas is wasted.
- Exhaust cleaned only at the dryer while the concealed run and rooftop cap stay packed with lint from every machine on the line.
