How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
Before Anyone Touches the Dishwasher
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
Built-in dishwashers are typically specified for their own properly grounded 120-volt branch circuit protected by a 15- or 20-amp breaker or time-delay fuse, with no extension cords or adapter plugs. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions
