When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher

Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
Water, Power and Safety First
Shut off the dishwasher's water supply during repairs or whenever it is leaking; the valve is usually under the kitchen sink on the branch line that runs to the dishwasher, and it closes by turning clockwise. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Water Shut-Off Location
Before inspecting or working on a dishwasher, unplug it or switch off its circuit breaker. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher

Around Fort Madison

Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.

In Iowa, you can check a license with the Iowa DIAL Find a Record or License (Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board public search) or report a problem to the Iowa Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
