Commercial Dishwasher Repair Ottawa — Same-Day Service for Busy Kitchens
B&M Canada Appliances is a TSSA-certified, factory-authorized commercial appliance repair specialist servicing every type of commercial dishwasher across Ottawa, Gatineau, and surrounding areas — undercounter, door-type, conveyor, glass washers, and flight-type units. Same-day dispatch for restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, schools, and retirement homes. Written warranty on parts and labour installed.
Commercial dishwashers we service
UndercounterGlass washers and dish washers fitting under a 34″ counter. Common in bars, cafés, small dining rooms.
Door-type (hood-type / pass-through)The workhorse of mid-volume kitchens. Single-rack capacity, hood lifts for loading.
Conveyor (rack)High-volume continuous wash. Common in hotels, banquet halls, large restaurants.
Flight-typeBelt-driven for institutional volumes. Cafeterias, schools, hospitals.
Glass washersDedicated low-temp glass wash for bars. Quick-cycle, gentle on barware.
Pot & pan washersHeavy-duty for utensil sanitation. Recirculating tanks, dedicated rinse.
Problems we troubleshoot
Not heating water
Booster heater element, thermostat, contactor, or supply temperature too low at the unit inlet.
Final rinse temperature low
Below NSF/HACCP threshold — booster, mixing valve, plumbing temp issue. Documented for audit.
Wash arm not spinning
Blocked wash arm jets, debris in the wash pump, drive linkage, motor.
Detergent / rinse aid not dispensing
Dispenser pump, chemical lines, signal from controller, empty drum.
Door switches / interlocks
Cycle won’t start, door safety circuit interrupted.
Drain pump issues
Slow drain, tank not emptying, drain pump motor, restricted drain hose.
Conveyor / belt drive
Belt slip, drive motor, photo-eye sensors, rack jamming.
Control board / PLC
Failed displays, error codes, communication faults between modules.
Stuck cycle / no power
Main contactor, transformer, internal fuses, supply circuit.
Spotty dishes / poor sanitation
Water hardness, rinse aid mix, spray pattern, cycle time, tank temp diagnostic.
Why downtime is expensive — and how we minimize it
A door-type unit out of service for one dinner shift can mean a hand-wash backup that pushes your kitchen 90 minutes behind. Our process is designed to avoid that:
- Phone-first triage — we ask for model, error code, and the symptom before dispatch. That lets the tech load the most likely parts on the truck.
- TSSA-certified, factory-authorized service — 30+ years across Ottawa-Gatineau means we know which distributors stock booster heaters, wash motors, and control boards for same-day pickup.
- Written quote before billable work — including labour hours, part costs, and any sub-trade coordination cost. Approve in writing, work proceeds.
- Documented service — for HACCP, insurance, and corporate chain audits. Format is audit-friendly.
- Written warranty — parts and labour installed.
Commercial service-call pricing: $129 + tax. After-hours emergency dispatch (9 PM–7 AM) includes a $100 flat emergency fee on top of regular rates. Jobs more than 30 km from downtown Ottawa may include modest km/travel fees, quoted up-front before dispatch. Major parts (booster heater, control board, wash motor) are quoted separately after diagnostic.

Frequently asked questions
Can you respond same-day to a commercial dishwasher down call?
Most Ottawa-Gatineau calls booked before 1 PM get a same-day arrival window. Bring up triage priority (e.g. dinner service in 4 hours) and we’ll route accordingly. After-hours emergency dispatch is available 9 PM–7 AM at a $100 flat emergency fee.
Do you service Hobart, Champion, Jackson, CMA, and other major commercial brands?
Yes — those four plus Insinger, Meiko, Stero, Moyer Diebel, Auto-Chlor, Ecolab, Winterhalter, Knight, Lamber, Fagor, Eurodib, and Atosa. If your unit is from a less-common brand, mention model and serial when booking; in 30+ years we’ve serviced almost everything sold in Canada.
What does a commercial dishwasher service call cost?
Commercial service call diagnostic is $129 + tax. Parts and labour for the repair itself are quoted in writing after the diagnostic — nothing happens without your approval. After-hours dispatch (9 PM–7 AM) adds a $100 flat emergency fee.
Do you handle chemical line / detergent dispenser issues?
Yes — dispenser pump replacement, signal wiring from the controller, chemical line replacement. We coordinate with the chemical supplier (Ecolab, Auto-Chlor, etc.) if they retain ownership of the dispensing equipment.
Can you provide HACCP / audit documentation?
Yes — written diagnostic, parts replaced, labour, technician name, time on-site, and warranty terms. Format works for HACCP, insurance, landlord-tenant, and corporate chain audits. We document final rinse temperature compliance when relevant.
What’s the warranty?
Every completed repair carries a written warranty on parts and labour installed. Specifics depend on the part and are confirmed in writing before billable work begins.
Do you also service glass washers and pot/pan washers?
Yes — undercounter glass washers (low-temp, quick cycle for bars) and pot & pan washers (heavy-duty with dedicated rinse). Same diagnostic process, same warranty.
