How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
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
