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. Companies that mention commercial kitchen work come first, then other appliance repair companies near Manhattan, with distances.

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

What Manhattan Owners Should Know
New York City Department of Environmental Protection (Catskill/Delaware and Croton supplies), which supplies Manhattan, reports hardness of 16-90 mg/L as CaCO3, averaging 25 mg/L (about 1 grain per gallon; soft). Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
