How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Machine will not reach final-rinse temperature
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as undercounter, door-type or conveyor units.
Water, Power and Safety First
