How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Support the door or hood to prevent sudden movement while working.

  • Clean hinges: Remove grease and debris from hinge areas with a degreaser.
  • Inspect springs: On hood-type Wexiodisk machines, check the counterbalance springs for breakage or loss of tension. Replace in pairs if worn.
  • Check alignment: Adjust hinge mounting points to ensure the door/hood closes squarely.
  • Lubricate lightly: Apply a food-safe lubricant to hinge pivot points if recommended by Wexiodisk.
