How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Commercial Dishwasher Problems Worth a Call

Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
Water, Power and Safety First
A leak from the water supply line tends to show up as dampness under the front of the unit; leaks at the door often trace back to a dirty, loose or damaged gasket, a bent or loose latch, or a unit that is not level. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
Before inspecting or working on a dishwasher, unplug it or switch off its circuit breaker. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher

What Sumter Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Sumter 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.
