Bestcare Facilities Management provides professional repair services for all types of dishwashers across Nairobi, Kiambu, and throughout Kenya. Our qualified technicians are experienced with residential under-counter units, portable dishwashers, built-in models, and commercial pot-wash machines used in restaurants, hotels, and catering facilities. Understanding the specific type of dishwasher you own helps ensure proper diagnosis and repair.
Residential Dishwasher Types We Repair
Under-Counter Dishwashers
Under-counter dishwashers are the most common residential type, installed beneath kitchen countertops and integrated with cabinetry. These units typically handle 12-16 place settings and feature multiple wash cycles including normal, heavy, eco, and quick wash. Bestcare technicians repair drainage failures, water leaks, heating element problems, control board issues, and door latch faults in under-counter units from Bosch, Siemens, Beko, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Ramtons, LG, Samsung, Miele, and KitchenAid.
Key problems we fix include:
-
Water not draining properly
-
Leaking from door or base
-
Dishes not getting hot
-
Error code display
-
Door not sealing correctly
-
Spray arms not rotating
Portable Dishwashers
Portable dishwashers sit on the floor and connect to the kitchen faucet via a hose, making them ideal for renters or homes without built-in plumbing. These units feature wheels for mobility and often include storage countertops. Our technicians service portable models from all manufacturers, addressing pump failures, hose connection leaks, motor problems, and control panel malfunctions. Portable dishwashers require the same diagnostic expertise as built-in units despite their different installation method.
Built-In (Integrated) Dishwashers
Built-in dishwashers are permanently connected to home plumbing and electrical systems, hidden behind cabinet panels for a seamless kitchen appearance. Panel-ready models accept custom cabinet fronts matching your kitchen design. These units require professional installation and repair due to their permanent plumbing connections. Bestcare technicians handle built-in dishwasher repairs including water inlet valve replacement, drainage pump service, heating element diagnostics, and electronic control board troubleshooting for integrated units.
Compact Dishwashers
Compact dishwashers (also called 18-inch dishwashers) are smaller than standard 24-inch units, designed for apartments, small kitchens, or secondary bathrooms. They typically wash 8-10 place settings instead of the standard 12-16. Our technicians repair compact models from Bosch, Samsung, LG, and other brands, addressing the same issues as standard dishwashers: drainage problems, leaks, heating failures, and control board errors.
Drawer Dishwashers
Drawer dishwashers feature two independent drawers that can operate separately, allowing you to wash small loads in one drawer or run both simultaneously for larger loads. This design offers flexibility and energy efficiency. Bestcare repairs drawer dishwasher issues including drawer motor failures, seal leaks between drawers, control panel problems, and uneven washing in either drawer. Brands include Fisher & Paykel, Bosch, and LG drawer models.
Countertop Dishwashers
Countertop dishwashers are the smallest residential type, sitting on kitchen counters and connecting to the faucet. Perfect for tiny homes, studios, or office breakrooms, they wash 4-6 place settings. Our technicians service countertop units from brands like Frontgate, SPT, and Danby, fixing pump failures, water inlet issues, heating problems, and control board malfunctions despite their compact size.
Commercial Dishwasher Types We Repair
Undercounter Commercial Dishwashers
Commercial undercounter dishwashers are compact units similar in size to residential models but designed for professional kitchen demands with faster wash cycles. They handle smaller volumes (typically 15-20 racks per hour) compared to larger commercial units but excel in space-constrained environments. Bestcare repairs undercounter commercial dishwashers in small restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, and bars, addressing high-temperature wash failures, pump problems, conveyor belt issues, and control system malfunctions.
Hood-Type (Door-Type) Commercial Dishwashers
Hood-type commercial dishwashers feature a large door or hood that opens upward, allowing staff to load racks of dishes, close the hood, and run quick high-temperature wash cycles. These machines wash dishes faster than undercounter units and handle larger volumes (20-40 racks per hour). They are ideal for standard commercial kitchens in restaurants and hotels. Our technicians repair hood-type dishwashers including door seal replacements, heating element service, rack conveyor problems, and high-temperature wash cycle failures.
Rack/Conveyor Commercial Dishwashers
Rack or conveyor dishwashers are heavy-duty commercial units with conveyor belts that channel racks into the washing chamber automatically. These high-capacity machines handle large quantities of dishes very quickly (40-100+ racks per hour) and are suited for heavy-duty use in large kitchens, hotels, cafeterias, and catering facilities with ample space. Bestcare fixes conveyor dishwasher issues including motor failures, conveyor belt replacement, heating system diagnostics, water pressure problems, and electronic control board troubleshooting.
Glasswashers
Glasswashers are specialized commercial dishwashers designed for delicate glassware used in coffee shops, cocktail bars, upscale restaurants, and wineries. They operate with high temperatures and lower water pressure to clean fragile glass tableware without damage. Our technicians service glasswasher units addressing temperature control failures, spray arm issues, pump problems, and special-cycle malfunctions that standard dishwashers don’t experience.
Pot-Wash Machines
Pot-wash machines are heavy-duty commercial dishwashers designed for cleaning large pots, pans, baking trays, and cooking utensils in restaurant kitchens. These units feature stronger jets, larger interiors, and more robust construction than standard dishwashers. Bestcare repairs pot-wash machines including pump replacements, jet nozzle service, heating element diagnostics, and drainage system repairs essential for commercial kitchen operations.
Special Applications We Service
ADA-Compliant Dishwashers
ADA-compliant dishwashers are designed for accessibility, featuring lower heights and easier access for wheelchair users in commercial facilities. Our technicians repair these specialized units with the same expertise as standard commercial dishwashers.
High-Temperature Commercial Dishwashers
High-temperature commercial dishwashers reach final rinse temperatures of 165°F-180°F for proper sanitization required by health codes. Bestcare fixes high-temperature unit issues including heating element failures, temperature sensor problems, and sanitization cycle malfunctions.
