How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
Have the data plate details ready and ask whether the technician works on your machine type before booking.

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
