A keg washer is a machine that certifies its own work: it runs a cycle, the light goes green, and the keg is treated as clean. If a spray head is blocked, a detergent dosing pump is under-delivering, or the steam stage is not reaching temperature, every keg in that run is released as clean and is not. Kegs then travel to accounts and come back as quality complaints from customers rather than as a plant fault.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

Returned-beer complaints cluster and get blamed on line cleaning at the bar, cellar temperature, or the age of the stock. The washer keeps reporting success. Because the product is distributed before the fault is found, this is one of the few maintenance failures that reaches the customer before it reaches the brewer.
Quarterly verification with an actual soiled-keg challenge — the only test that proves the cycle rather than the sensors. Check dosing accuracy monthly; pumps drift long before they fail.
