How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
Have the data plate details ready and ask whether the technician works on your machine type before booking.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
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
