Commercial Dishwasher Problems Worth a Call
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on

Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
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
