Commercial dishwashers run far more cycles than a home machine and rely on booster heaters, chemical pumps and wash tanks that home models do not have. The Rochester list below starts with companies that mention commercial, restaurant or food service work within a longer drive, followed by the nearest appliance repair companies.

Around Rochester
Most dishwasher calls in Rochester come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
