How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
Before Anyone Touches the Dishwasher
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
Built-in dishwashers are typically specified for their own properly grounded 120-volt branch circuit protected by a 15- or 20-amp breaker or time-delay fuse, with no extension cords or adapter plugs. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions

What Lincoln Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Lincoln come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines. Source: Code of Alabama 1975, Section 34-31-18 et seq. (Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractors)
In Alabama, you can check a license with the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board Individual Licensee Search or report a problem to the Alabama Attorney General's Office, Consumer Interest Division.
Questions to Ask a Lincoln Technician
- If the dishwasher is leaking, will you pull the kick panel to find where the water starts?
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
- Will you check the filter, drain hose and disposal connection before replacing the pump?
