How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- 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.
Before Anyone Touches the Dishwasher
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
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
