How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher

- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
Have the data plate details ready and ask whether the technician works on your machine type before booking.
Water, Power and Safety First
Hand soap, dish soap or laundry detergent can make a dishwasher over-suds and spill water onto the floor; use only automatic dishwasher detergent. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
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

What St. Johns Owners Should Know
