What Commercial Dishwasher Repair Covers
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
Shut off the dishwasher's water supply during repairs or whenever it is leaking; the valve is usually under the kitchen sink on the branch line that runs to the dishwasher, and it closes by turning clockwise. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Water Shut-Off Location
A dishwasher must be grounded; if the home wiring lacks a ground or the plug does not fit the outlet, a licensed electrician should correct it rather than modifying the plug. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher User Instructions
