How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- 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.
