How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
Before Anyone Touches the Dishwasher
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 West Columbia Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in West Columbia 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.
