Commercial dishwashers run far more cycles than a home machine and rely on booster heaters, chemical pumps and wash tanks that home models do not have. The Lock Haven 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
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
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

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
