How can you identify the most common equipment malfunctions?

Primary …..knowledge & experience of the m/c in question & it’s operations Secondly History of events issues created and failures log everything Finally. Operators generally know how a m/c is performing or not talk to them

Safety first! Then basics: 1.Speak to the operator and get the actual story 2.If possible see the problem as it happens. 3. Get a background i.e what has and has not been done on the equipment 4. Verify that the problem exists and you and the customer agree that it is the problem. Then do your basic checks progressing from easy to more difficult i.e. maintenance points ➡️ fuses ➡️ and so on..( have an OEM manual on hand to assist you,a desired prerequisite would be to know the system that you are troubleshooting). It's mostly the little things that bites us. A very important ingredient is Be patient this allows clear and logical thinking.

A phone call can be a good place to start. Maybe a short video can reveal a simple issue that can be solved without a service call. Otherwise, if a service call is ultimately needed, observe equipment operation in real time to fully assess what is needed.

We can identify the most common equipment malfunction. 1- Functions history thought the registered charts. 2- Through our longue experience. 3- Abnormal noise or vibration 3- via the preventive maintenance program

This is a best practice If you don't know what you testing or how it works,you are only setting yourself up for a challenge. If you don't have specifications how will you know if your actual readings are correct? In my experience follow OEM guidelines

Listen to the operator. They often know more about the machine than you do-and probably have insight on that particular machine's quirks and previous repairs that were done.

I agree 100% with Mike. Seasoned operators can provide invaluable information during the early stages of a problem. Ask questions. Ask the same questions in slightly different ways to determine what might be causing the issue.

Using your experience is most certainly a major game changer. But be aware of the trap.... that the last time it done this it was this!!! Verify by testing!!many components have been replaced incorrectly because of using this approach... because it was hence it is 🤭 Verify! verify... experience speeds it up 👍 but verify.

Seeking outside help isn’t a sign of weakness. You may also learn and grow by asking for help. Getting your client back up and running is the #1 priority. You will demonstrate that you’re committed to customer satisfaction.

Again. Listen to the operator...they may know more than you do about the machine in question. Quirks, previous repairs, and of course-the symptoms.

We have a saying call a friend 😁 If in doubt just shout...techs at large enjoy helping out, that's just how they're wired 😊

Ever heard the saying, the job is not done until the paperwork is done ✅ Customers require it for maintenance and repair history. Service providers need it for invoicing and job tracking if anything goes wrong e.g warranty Equipment manufacturers also use it in product improvement and design initiatives. And for the field technician you have your own records... you know what for 👍 Keep it safe

Un diagnóstico técnico preciso es de gran ayuda, ya sea al través de software y procedimientos troubleshooting paso por paso
