Commercial dishwasher repair is a narrower field than home appliance repair, and not every company that fixes a kitchen dishwasher takes on restaurant equipment. The Astoria list below starts with companies that mention commercial, restaurant or food service work within a longer drive, followed by the nearest appliance repair companies.

How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
