How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- 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.
If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
Shut off the dishwasher's water supply during repairs or whenever it is leaking; the valve is usually under the kitchen sink on the branch line that runs to the dishwasher, and it closes by turning clockwise. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Water Shut-Off Location
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
