How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
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
Built-in dishwashers are typically specified for their own properly grounded 120-volt branch circuit protected by a 15- or 20-amp breaker or time-delay fuse, with no extension cords or adapter plugs. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions
