Glasswasher Repairs — DK Services NW
Commercial glasswasher repairs for Manchester pubs, bars and clubs: machines not draining, not heating, leaking or tripping the power. All makes repaired, with engineers covering Greater Manchester, Liverpool and the wider Northwest.
Our engineers carry a full van stock of parts for all major glasswasher brands. Whatever the fault — we have seen it before and we know how to fix it fast.
Blocked filter, faulty drain pump or kinked drain hose. We carry drain pump parts and fix this on the first visit in most cases.
Failed heating element or thermostat. Poor wash results and cloudy glasses are the main symptoms. We diagnose and replace on site.
Door seal failure, loose hose connections or cracked sump. We identify the source and seal it fast to prevent further damage.
Error codes can indicate dozens of faults. Our engineers know all major brand codes and carry diagnostic tools for fast diagnosis.
Cloudy glasses or residue usually indicate a chemistry issue, blocked wash arms or low rinse temperature. We diagnose and fix.
Door switch failure, control board fault or power supply issue. We carry door switches and control components for all major brands.
Most bar glasswashers in the Northwest are Classeq, Winterhalter, DC, Maidaid, Hobart, Meiko or Electrolux. The faults are much the same across brands (drain pumps, heating elements, door seals and control boards), so if yours isn't listed, call and we'll tell you straight whether we can help.
If your glasswasher is getting old and the repair bills are adding up, hiring may cost less. Our under-counter glasswashers hire from £18 a week (12–14 pint), £20 (16–18 pint) or £25 (25–30 pint), with free callouts and repairs for the life of the agreement and two services a year.

Some glasswasher problems can be sorted by bar staff in a couple of minutes. If these don't fix it, switch the machine off and give us a call.
Broken glass, lemon pips and straws collect in the tank filter and stop the machine draining. Lift it out, rinse it and refit it properly.
Cloudy or streaky glasses often mean an empty container or a dosing tube out of the drum. Check both before assuming a fault.
A kinked or squashed drain hose behind the bar stops water leaving the machine. Make sure it runs freely to the drain.
After a busy run the rinse water can drop in temperature. If glasses come out wet or dull, let the tank recover for a few minutes.
If the glasswasher trips the RCD more than once, leave it off. Repeated trips usually mean an element or wiring fault that needs an engineer.
Fill in your details and one of our engineers will call you back as quickly as possible. For urgent breakdowns please call us directly on 0161 303 2337.
Cloudy glasses are usually caused by hard-water scale, too little rinse aid, or a wash or rinse temperature that is too low. Our engineers can descale the machine, test the element and thermostat, and set the chemical dosing correctly.
Yes. It is one of the most common faults we see, usually a blocked filter, a failed drain pump or a blocked drain hose. Engineers carry drain pump parts, so it is often fixed on the first visit. Call 0161 303 2337.
Switch it off and leave it off. A glasswasher that trips the power is usually leaking to earth through a heating element or wiring fault, and resetting it repeatedly can make the damage worse. Book a callout and we'll find the cause.
It depends on the fault and the age of the machine. Our engineer will tell you honestly if the repair isn't worth it. If you'd rather not own an ageing machine, hire starts at £18 a week with repairs included.
Yes. Every glasswasher on hire from DK Services includes free callouts and repairs for the life of the agreement, plus two services a year.
