How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
A leak from the water supply line tends to show up as dampness under the front of the unit; leaks at the door often trace back to a dirty, loose or damaged gasket, a bent or loose latch, or a unit that is not level. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
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
