Commercial dishwasher leaking – Seattle repair suggestions?
Our Hobart commercial dishwasher developed a leak from the bottom during drain cycle. Pump seems fine, but water pools under the unit. Seals look okay from what I can see, no obvious cracked hoses. Downtime is killing us during lunch rush. Has anyone in the Seattle restaurant scene fixed something similar lately? Looking for a repair company that handles commercial dish machines and doesn't try to sell a new unit immediately.

Leaks under commercial dishwashers are usually worn door gaskets, bad drain pump seals, or cracked sump area – but often it's the lower door seal or pump gasket failing first. Ours (also Hobart) started doing that during peak hours. A local repair guy came out quick, pulled the front panel, found the pump outlet gasket had deteriorated, replaced it along with checking the float switch. Fixed in about 90 minutes, no major parts needed. Ran us around $320. I saw them recommended in a local owners group thread: https://911seattleappliancerepair.com/commercial-appliance-repair/ They do a ton of commercial dishwashers, ice machines, refrigeration – all over Seattle. Honest about repair vs replace, especially if your unit isn't ancient. Worth a diagnostic call to avoid replacing a $8k machine. Hope you get it sorted fast!
