Dishwasher Services Makes you Want To Do It Again
What is Dishwasher?
Dishwashers, also known as Kitchen Helpers, work in the kitchen of
any kind of restaurant. Their main role is to clean dishes, utensils, and all
kitchen appliances. They are also commonly tasked with mopping and washing the
floors and general areas of the kitchen, as well as taking out the trash and
placing it in the designated areas. Depending on the size and number of clients
a restaurant may have, their Dishwashers may work in teams and using
specialized machinery to facilitate and optimize their job.

Dishwasher
problem & solution
1.
Your
dishwasher doesn’t clean well
A dishwasher that doesn’t clean dishes is hardly a dishwasher at all.
Make sure that your dishwasher isn’t dirty to begin with, checking the strain
screen, sprayer arms, and door gasket for food particles, grease, and other
debris. Run a cleaning cycle using dishwasher cleaner and without dishes to see
if it helps.
2.
Your
dishwasher is noisy
Unless you have
an ultra-quiet dishwasher, most dishwashers will make some noise. But if your
once quiet dishwasher is now making a racket, you may have a problem. You could
have a defective pump, or simply need to replace the wash arm seal or bearing
ring. Another possibility? Your spray arms aren’t turning properly and may be
hitting racks or dishes and need to be replaced.
3.
Your
glasses come out white or cloudy
Glasses that come out white or cloudy typically have hard water build
up. Consider using a special hard water detergent or use more regular
detergent. You may also benefit from a whole house water softening system for
your dishwasher and other appliances.
4.
Dishes
come out spotty
If your
dishes come out with spots on them. Rinse aids will stop water from sticking to
dish surfaces.
5.
Your
dishwasher won’t drain
It’s a
big problem. Take a look at the assembly of the check valve in the drain sump.
If it is not moving properly, be sure to replace it. You should also
consider updating the drain pump or motor.
6.
Your
dishwasher door won’t latch
If
this is not working properly, check the door catch for wear, as well as the
electronic control. Consider replacing the latch or catch so that it will work
properly.
7.
Your
dishwasher is leaking
First,
check the drainage hose for cracks and other damage, as well as the gaskets in
the heating element. A leaking dishwasher is another problem that can be caused
by a defective pump or pump seal. Consider changing out the seal, or if
necessary, replace the pump.
8.
Your
dishwasher smells bad
If you smell odors after
your dishwasher is done, look out for trapped food and grease. This will be
located in the strainer screen, as well as in the jets in the sprayer arms and
along the bottom edge of the door. Clean these parts of any food debris and
grease, then run a full cycle with no dishes. Consider adding a dishwasher
cleaner or disinfectant.
9.
Your
dishwasher won’t fill with water, or it won’t stop filling
Take a look at the water inlet valve, and consider replacing it. You
should also inspect the float and the float switch. These parts tell the
dishwasher that it has the adequate amount of water, and they may have debris
that keep them from working properly.
10.
Your
dishwasher won’t start
Dishwashers that won’t start may have a faulty door latch or door latch
switch to blame. If your door isn’t properly closed, the dishwasher will not
start. If your latch is fine, check the timer or electronic control, especially
if your drain pump motor isn’t starting up.
11.
Your
wash cycle takes too long or doesn’t complete
This is likely a problem with the timer motor, thermostat, or heating
element. All should be checked with a multimeter.
