How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Commercial Dishwasher Problems Worth a Call

- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
Before Anyone Touches the Dishwasher
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
