Quick answer
Commercial dishwasher repair across the Twin Cities covers Hobart AM, CLeN and CRS-series, Jackson AJ / Avenger, Champion DH / UH, CMA, Ecolab, Insinger, Moyer Diebel, and Meiko door, conveyor, undercounter, and glasswasher units. The most common failures are drain pumps, wash and rinse arms, fill solenoids, booster-heater elements and thermostats, vacuum breakers, door switches, and control boards. Every tech carries Hobart and Jackson high-failure parts on the truck. Diagnostic is $189 commercial, credited to the repair on approval. Standard repairs land $285–$685 all-in, booster-heater swaps $485–$1,150. We verify NSF / health-code 180°F final-rinse temperature on every visit and leave you with a written ticket your inspector can use. 1-year parts-and-labor warranty.

We don't service the chemical-vendor side of the loop, but we coordinate with Ecolab or Auto-Chlor on combined calls so wash temperature, chemical dosing, and final-rinse sanitization are dialed in one visit — common at hotel and school accounts.
Typical all-in: Coordinated with chemical vendor
Repair vs. replace
Every visit ends with a verified final-rinse temperature reading on your wash ticket. Minnesota Department of Health and most municipal inspectors want 180°F at the manifold (or 160°F sanitization with chemical) — we leave the reading in writing so your next inspection isn't a guess.
Hobart and Jackson door-type units routinely run 12–18 years if pump seals, door gaskets, and rinse arms are maintained. A standard wash-pump rebuild is roughly 5% of replacement cost — and avoids the plumbing, electrical, and installation labor of a full unit swap.
A bar or kitchen with a down dishwasher is hand-washing in 3-comp sinks within 30 minutes. Commercial calls placed before 2pm typically get a same-day window with average on-site arrival under 4 hours across the Twin Cities.
After the first paid visit, established commercial accounts get Net-15 or Net-30 invoicing and we accept POs from restaurant groups, hotels, schools, and municipal accounts. No swiping personal cards at the bar.
Hobart and Jackson high-failure parts — wash arms, drain pumps, door switches, fill solenoids, common control boards — ride on every commercial truck. Less common parts source through Hobart Service and Jackson distributors in 24–72 hours.
Liability and workers-comp Certificates of Insurance naming your property manager, hospitality group, or franchise corporate as additional-insured are issued at no charge on request, typically the same business day.

If your equipment is down right now
Wash / rinse / sanitize at correct temperatures and chemical concentrations per your HACCP plan. Document the switch — your inspector will ask.
Confirm the unit has 208/240V power at the disconnect, the hot-water inlet is open and supplying 140°F+, and the drain isn't standing. A blocked drain or closed water valve is the cause about a quarter of the time.
Unscrew the wash and rinse arms and rinse clear under hot water. Blocked rinse-arm jets are the #1 reason a unit 'isn't sanitizing' — frequently a 10-minute fix on the spot.
Booster heater, control board, and sealed-component work needs Hobart or Jackson factory training. Call (651) 364-7466 — same-day window for calls placed before 2pm.
FAQs
Commercial accounts get front-of-line dispatch. Calls placed before 2pm typically get a same-day window, with average on-site arrival under 4 hours across Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the inner-ring suburbs. After-hours dispatch is available — call (651) 364-7466 and tell us your dish pit is down.
Commercial diagnostic is $189 and is credited toward the repair when you approve the work the same visit. Standard door-type and undercounter repairs land $285–$685 all-in. Conveyor repairs land $485–$1,250. Booster-heater work is always quoted in writing first.
Yes — every commercial tech runs Hobart AM, CLeN, CRS, and LXe service procedures and Jackson AJ / Avenger / Dishstar service procedures as part of normal day-to-day work. Hobart and Jackson distributors are local; OEM parts source in 24–72 hours when not on the truck.
Yes. Every commercial dishwasher service call ends with a verified final-rinse manifold temperature reading printed on your ticket. Minnesota Department of Health and most municipal inspectors want 180°F at the manifold for hot-water sanitization (or 160°F with chemical sanitizer dosing in spec). We leave the reading in writing.
Detergent loops, rinse-aid injectors, and sanitizer dispensers are owned and serviced by the chemical vendor (Ecolab, Auto-Chlor, Sealed Air). We coordinate with the chemical vendor on combined calls so wash temperature, chemical concentration, and final-rinse sanitization all get tuned the same visit — common at hotel, school, and hospital accounts.
Yes — quarterly and semi-annual plans tiered by equipment count. Visits include scale deliming, pump-seal inspection, door-gasket and curtain replacement, booster-heater element and contactor check, drain-line flush, and a verified final-rinse temperature reading. Cheaper than one downed Friday dish pit.
Yes. After the first paid visit, established commercial accounts get Net-15 or Net-30 invoicing and we accept POs from restaurant groups, hotels, school districts, hospitals, and municipal accounts.
