How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
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
A leak from the water supply line tends to show up as dampness under the front of the unit; leaks at the door often trace back to a dirty, loose or damaged gasket, a bent or loose latch, or a unit that is not level. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
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
