When the dish machine goes down, the kitchen runs out of plates and glasses within an hour. Best Pro repairs undercounter, door-type and conveyor dishwashers and glasswashers for restaurants, bars, hotels, schools and cafeterias across the Denver metro area, with same-day service for most calls.
High-temp or low-temp — it matters
- High-temperature machines sanitize with a hot final rinse, usually 180°F. If the rinse falls short, dishes aren’t sanitized and the machine fails inspection. The cause is usually the booster heater — a burned-out element, a failed thermostat or scale on the element — or a rinse flow that’s too low.
- Low-temperature machines sanitize with a chemical, usually chlorine. When the sanitizer or rinse aid pump stops dispensing, the dishes look clean but aren’t sanitized. We check the pump and the lines; dispensers supplied by your chemical company are serviced by them.
Other common failures
- Wash tank not heating. A tank heater element, a thermostat or a low-water safety that has tripped.
- Not filling, or overfilling. A failed fill solenoid valve, a stuck float switch or a clogged inlet strainer.
- Not draining. A stuck drain valve, a failed drain pump or debris in the drain.
- Dirty or spotted dishes. Scale in the wash and rinse arms, a weak wash pump, a wash tank that isn’t hot enough or a torn curtain on a conveyor machine.
- Conveyor stopped. A drive motor, a jammed pawl bar or a tripped safety switch.
Scale and maintenance
Mineral scale builds up in the booster, the tank and the rinse arms and slowly cuts both temperature and cleaning. Regular deliming and arm cleaning keeps the machine passing inspection, and we can check the whole machine during maintenance visits.

How much does commercial dishwasher repair cost in Denver?
Our technician diagnoses the equipment first and gives you a flat price before any work starts. Labor starts at the $185 minimum for any repair, and parts are priced separately because they depend on the make and model.
A fill or drain valve, a float switch or a thermostat is a smaller repair; a wash pump motor, a booster heater element or a control board costs more.
You approve the price before we start, and the repair comes with a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. All rates and surcharges are on our prices page.
