How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Dishes coming out with film or spots

If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
Shut off the dishwasher's water supply during repairs or whenever it is leaking; the valve is usually under the kitchen sink on the branch line that runs to the dishwasher, and it closes by turning clockwise. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Water Shut-Off Location
Before inspecting or working on a dishwasher, unplug it or switch off its circuit breaker. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
