What We Fix

Commercial Dishwashing Equipment We Service

We repair commercial dishwashers for restaurants, cafes, hotels, catering companies, schools, hospitals, and any food service operation across Atlanta metro. High-temperature or low-temperature, undercounter or conveyor — whatever type of commercial dishwasher your operation runs, we have the expertise to fix it.

Diagnostic / service call fee: $225 (Waived with repair)

Undercounter Commercial Dishwashers

Undercounter commercial dishwashers are common in bars, cafes, and smaller restaurant operations. They work hard in tight spaces and take constant use. We repair all major undercounter commercial dishwasher brands — not cleaning properly, not draining, water temperature issues, door latch failures, and more.

Door-Type Commercial Dishwashers

Door-type dish machines handle higher volume than undercounter units and are the most common type in mid-size restaurant operations. We repair door-type commercial dishwashers — pump failures, heating element issues, door switch problems, temperature control failures, and more.

Conveyor and Flight-Type Dishwashers

Conveyor and flight-type dishwashers handle high-volume warewashing for large restaurants, hotels, and institutional operations. They are complex machines with multiple wash and rinse zones. We repair conveyor dishwashers — conveyor drive failures, spray arm issues, pump problems, temperature control failures, and more.

Glasswashers

Commercial glasswashers are designed specifically for bar and beverage service. We repair commercial glasswashers — not cleaning properly, water spots on glassware, drainage issues, temperature problems, and more. All major glasswasher brands serviced across Atlanta metro.

Pot and Pan Washers

Commercial pot and pan washers handle the heavy-duty warewashing that standard dish machines cannot. We repair commercial pot washers — pump failures, spray system issues, temperature problems, and more.

Rack Conveyor Dishwashers

Rack conveyor machines move racks of dishes through multiple wash zones automatically. We repair rack conveyor commercial dishwashers — conveyor motor failures, spray arm issues, rinse temperature problems, control system failures, and more.

High-Temperature and Low-Temperature Dishwashers

High-temperature machines sanitize with heat while low-temperature machines use chemical sanitizers. Each type has specific components and failure modes. We repair both high-temp and low-temp commercial dishwashers and understand the sanitation requirements that apply to each system.

common issues

Common Commercial Dishwasher Problems We Fix

‍

Dishes Not Getting Clean

If dishes are coming out of your commercial dishwasher still dirty, the most common causes are clogged or damaged spray arms not rotating properly, a weak wash pump not generating enough pressure, low water temperature, a clogged wash tank filter, or insufficient detergent dosing. We inspect the full wash system and identify the exact cause.

‍

Machine Not Reaching Temperature

Proper wash and rinse temperatures are critical for sanitation in a commercial dishwasher. If the machine is not reaching required temperatures, the heating element may have failed, the thermostat may be faulty, or there may be a scale buildup on the heating element reducing its efficiency. We test the full heating system and repair the specific cause.

‍

Commercial Dishwasher Not Draining

Standing water in the wash tank after a cycle is almost always a clogged drain filter, a failed drain pump, or a blocked drain line. We carry drain pump components on every truck and most commercial dishwasher drainage issues are resolved same visit.

‍

Machine Leaking Water

Water leaking from a commercial dishwasher onto the floor is a slip hazard and a health issue. Leaks can come from a worn door gasket, a cracked wash arm, a loose hose connection, a failed pump seal, or an overflowing wash tank. We find the source of the leak and fix it correctly.

‍

Wash Pump Failure

The wash pump is the heart of the commercial dishwasher — it generates the pressure that drives water through the spray arms. A failing or failed wash pump results in poor cleaning performance or no wash action at all. We diagnose pump issues accurately and replace only what is needed.

‍

Rinse Temperature Too Low

On high-temperature machines, the final rinse must reach a minimum temperature to sanitize properly. If the rinse temperature is too low, the machine is not sanitizing and you are at risk of a health code violation. Usually caused by a failed booster heater, a faulty rinse thermostat, or scale buildup on the heating element.

‍

Door or Hood Not Closing Properly

A commercial dishwasher that will not run because the door or hood is not closing correctly usually has a worn door gasket, a broken door spring, a damaged hinge, or a faulty door switch. These are common repairs we complete same visit in most cases.

‍

Chemical Dispensing Issues

If detergent or sanitizer is not being dispensed correctly, dishes will not be cleaned or sanitized properly regardless of how well the mechanical system is working. We diagnose chemical dispenser issues and advise on correct dosing settings for your specific machine and water conditions.

‍

Conveyor Drive Not Working

On conveyor and rack conveyor machines, a failed conveyor drive motor or a broken drive chain stops the machine from moving racks through the wash zones. We repair conveyor drive systems on all major commercial dishwasher brands.

‍

Control Panel and Error Codes

Modern commercial dishwashers have electronic control systems that manage wash cycles, temperatures, chemical dosing, and alarms. When these fail the machine may behave erratically, display error codes, or stop working entirely. We diagnose control system issues accurately and replace only what is needed.

How much does commercial dishwasher repair cost in Atlanta?

Commercial dishwasher repair costs vary depending on the type of machine and the issue. Most commercial dishwasher repairs in Atlanta range between $200 and $600. Wash pump replacements or control board repairs will cost more. We charge a $225 diagnostic fee which is waived when you move forward with the repair. You get a clear upfront quote before any work begins.

How quickly can you get to my business in Atlanta?

We treat commercial dishwasher calls as urgent. In most cases we can have a technician at your location same day or next day. We also offer early morning appointments before your kitchen opens so repairs do not disrupt your service. Call us early in the day for the best chance of same-day availability.

Do you repair all commercial dishwasher brands?

Yes. We repair all major commercial dishwasher brands including Hobart, Champion, Jackson, Manitowoc, Ecolab, Winterhalter, CMA Dishmachines, Insinger, and more. If you do not see your brand listed, give us a call — we most likely service it.

What temperature should a commercial dishwasher reach?

High-temperature commercial dishwashers must reach a minimum final rinse temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit to sanitize properly. Wash temperatures should be at least 150 to 165 degrees. Low-temperature chemical sanitizing machines must dispense the correct concentration of sanitizer at the final rinse. If your machine is not meeting these requirements, call us — it is a health code issue.

Can you repair a commercial dishwasher after hours or before we open?

Yes. We offer flexible scheduling for commercial clients including early morning and evening appointments. A commercial dishwasher failure does not wait for convenient hours and neither do we. Call us and we will work around your operation schedule.

How long does a commercial dishwasher repair take?

Most commercial dishwasher repairs are completed in one visit, typically between one and three hours depending on the issue. Common repairs like drain pump replacements, door latch repairs, and spray arm replacements are almost always done same visit. We will always give you a clear timeframe before we start any work.

What should I do if my commercial dishwasher stops working during service?

First, stop using the machine and assess your backup options — disposable serviceware or hand washing if necessary. Check that the machine is powered and no breakers have tripped. Do not attempt to force the machine to run if it is displaying error codes or behaving erratically. Call us right away and we will get someone to you as fast as possible.

Do you offer preventative maintenance for commercial dishwashers?

Yes. Regular preventative maintenance on commercial dishwashers — including spray arm cleaning, wash tank descaling, door gasket inspection, temperature verification, and chemical dispenser calibration — can significantly extend equipment life and prevent costly mid-service breakdowns. Ask us about setting up a maintenance schedule for your commercial dishwashing equipment.
