How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- 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.
