How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
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
Before inspecting or working on a dishwasher, unplug it or switch off its circuit breaker. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
