How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.

Hand soap, dish soap or laundry detergent can make a dishwasher over-suds and spill water onto the floor; use only automatic dishwasher detergent. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
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

What Summerville Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Summerville 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.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
