If your equipment is down right now
Confirm the breaker is on and the door or curtain switch is fully closed. A bent door switch stops the cycle.
Drain the tank, clean the strainers and refill. Foamy or dirty water triggers poor wash results.
On low-temp machines, use a test strip. Zero reading usually means an empty container or failed chemical pump.

FAQs
Yes. Evening and weekend emergency service is available for Saint Paul restaurants, schools, hospitals and senior-living kitchens.
$199 trip fee, waived with repair. Most Saint Paul dish machine repairs fall between $245 and $885 all-in, quoted in writing before work.
Usually an empty chemical container, a worn squeeze tube in the chemical pump, or a kinked supply line. It's typically a quick repair.
Yes. We repair conveyor and flight-type machines — drive motors, pawl bars, tank heaters and rack switches — and schedule around service times.
In Twin Cities hard water, most busy machines need deliming every one to four weeks. Heavy scale on heaters and wash arms is a leading cause of breakdowns.
Yes. We issue COIs naming your property manager, hospitality group, hospital facilities office, or municipal account as additional-insured at no charge — typically the same business day. General liability and workers' comp are in force year-round; we can raise limits per contract on request.
First visit is card-on-file or COD. Once an account is established, we invoice Net-15 or Net-30 with itemized statements aligned to your accounting cycle. We accept POs from restaurant groups, hotel brands, property management firms, school districts, and city and county accounts. ACH and card payments both fine.
Yes — quarterly, semi-annual, and annual PM plans tiered by equipment count and equipment class. Every visit includes condenser cleaning, drain flushing, gasket and hinge inspection, electrical-tightness verification, controller and setpoint check, and a written report you can hand to insurers, health inspectors, or franchisors.
Every technician holds EPA Section 608 Universal certification covering R-404A, R-448A / R-449A (Solstice N40, Opteon XP40), R-290 hydrocarbon systems where code permits, and legacy R-22. Cooking-equipment techs are gas-certified for natural gas and LP on ranges, fryers, ovens, and combi-ovens.
Yes. We coordinate dock and freight-elevator windows in advance, badge in through hotel or hospital engineering, and work around banquet, service-window, and clinical-department timing. Overnight and pre-open service is available when a daytime window won't work.
Yes — after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergency dispatch is available for refrigeration, ice, and warewashing failures across the Twin Cities metro. A published after-hours premium applies and is confirmed in writing before the tech leaves the shop.
A 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty on every commercial repair — the same failure mode, on the same unit, within 12 months is covered at no additional charge. Some sealed-system components carry an extended manufacturer warranty on top; those terms are itemized on the invoice.
Yes. Truck-mounted reach-ins, undercounter units, generator-fed ice machines, and mobile prep tables are all serviceable — we typically shop-visit at your commissary or overnight parking rather than roadside so the unit can stabilize before diagnosis.
Yes. Written estimates are issued before any sealed-system, compressor, or major-component work. On request we provide inspector-ready documentation: repair scope, part numbers, refrigerant type and charge, and the date service restored the unit to spec.
