How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
Water, Power and Safety First
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
