How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
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
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

Around South Houston
Most dishwasher calls in South Houston 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.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.

In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
