Commercial dishwashers run far more cycles than a home machine and rely on booster heaters, chemical pumps and wash tanks that home models do not have. The Wheeling list below starts with companies that mention commercial, restaurant or food service work within a longer drive, followed by the nearest appliance repair companies.

How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
Commercial Dishwasher Problems Worth a Call
- Dishes coming out with film or spots

- Chemical pumps not priming or dispensing
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
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
