How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
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
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

Around Jersey Shore
Most dishwasher calls in Jersey Shore 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.
