How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
Have the data plate details ready and ask whether the technician works on your machine type before booking.
If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
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
Before inspecting or working on a dishwasher, unplug it or switch off its circuit breaker. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
