How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Commercial Dishwasher Problems Worth a Call
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
