Undercounter Commercial Dishwasher Repair
Southern California
01 · What we service
Undercounter commercial dishwashers fit under bar counter or café prep counter, 30 to 40 racks per hour throughput. Bars, cafés, small restaurants, mobile kitchens. NSF 184 commercial rating distinguishes them from residential undercounters: 208V or 240V three-phase electrical, faster cycles (90 seconds to 4 minutes), higher wash temps, integrated chemical sanitizing or high-temp final rinse.
Four platforms dominate LA bar and café installs: Hobart UH series and LXeR (ITW Food Equipment Group, the most common premium undercounter), CMA Energy Mizer (Cleveland-based commercial dishwasher specialist), Champion UH-150 (Ali Group, sister brand to Scotsman ice and Beverage-Air refrigeration), Jackson Conserver (Hoshizaki America acquired). Plus Insinger Speeder on legacy installs.
BHGS #A49573. EPA 608 Universal certified #1346255700410. BBB A+. Phones answered 24/7. $120 commercial diagnostic, waived with repair, no emergency surcharge.
