What Commercial Dishwasher Repair Covers
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
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
Hand soap, dish soap or laundry detergent can make a dishwasher over-suds and spill water onto the floor; use only automatic dishwasher detergent. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
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
