How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Commercial Dishwasher Problems Worth a Call
- Water not filling or draining from the tank

- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
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

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
