How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Commercial Dishwasher Problems Worth a Call
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
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
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

Local Notes for Southern Pines
Most dishwasher calls in Southern Pines 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.
North Carolina has no license specific to appliance repair; work on gas appliances, fuel piping and heating equipment is regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating, and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, with an exemption for minor repairs that don't change fuel type, venting or piping.
