How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.

Hand soap, dish soap or laundry detergent can make a dishwasher over-suds and spill water onto the floor; use only automatic dishwasher detergent. 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

Around Lakewood
Most dishwasher calls in Lakewood 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.
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.

In Ohio, you can check a license with the Ohio Department of Commerce OCILB Company Licensee Lookup or report a problem to the Ohio Attorney General, Consumer Protection Section.
