How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Dishes coming out with film or spots
- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
