out-of-service

Temporarily not operational

Out-of-service describes something temporarily unavailable for use, typically equipment or systems undergoing maintenance or repair: The elevator is out-of-service until Friday.

The term appears on signs and in official communications.

Buses, trains, and public facilities commonly display out-of-service notices.

The unhyphenated form out of service functions as a predicate: The ATM has been out of service for three days.
