How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Signs a Dish Machine Needs Service
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
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
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 Salem Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Salem 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.
Utah has no contractor classification for appliance repair, but under the Construction Trades Licensing Act anyone who installs, repairs or replaces a residential or commercial gas appliance must hold natural gas technician certification, even on jobs otherwise too small to need a contractor license. Source: Utah Legislature H.B. 49 (2004), Natural Gas Technician Certification, amending Utah Code 58-55-305 and 58-55-308
In Utah, you can check a license with the Utah Licensee Lookup and Verification (Verify a License) or report a problem to the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Consumer Protection.
