Repairing APW Wyott Food Warmer/Heat Lamps

Repairs on an APW Wyott food warmer/heat lamp go faster when the part is matched to the model. We record the model and serial number at the start of the visit and check the manufacturer's service information for that unit.

How we repair your APW Wyott Food Warmer/Heat Lamp

A food warmer or heat lamp uses overhead infrared bulbs or strip heaters to keep plated or packaged food hot at a pass or service line. A food warmer/heat lamp uses heating elements or lamps, a thermostat or digital control, and sometimes a water pan or humidity system. A technician tests the elements and controls, checks temperature accuracy and inspects door seals and fans.

Holding equipment that drops below safe temperatures can lead to health code violations, so these calls are scheduled quickly.

Before you call

Quick checks you can do safely

  • Check that the switch is on and the unit is plugged in.
  • Let the fixture cool, then replace any dark bulb with the correct type.
  • Lower the lamp toward the food within the allowed range.
  • Check the breaker for the heat strip circuit.
  • Probe food to confirm it is held at safe hot-holding temperature.

Safety first: Heat lamps and strips get extremely hot, so switch them off and let them cool before touching bulbs or elements.
