How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
