Cohousing-L Mailing List: Question about servicing COMMERCIAL dishwashers

[Chapel, Thomas (CDC/NCIPC/DOP) (tkc4]

I'm the voluntary property manager for our 13-unit cohousing in ATL Georgia.  
We're 27 years old and purchased a used COMMERCIAL under-counter dishwasher 
(Jackson D-26 series; actually these are officially called dish-CLEANERS) back 
when we opened. It's on its last legs and we are likely getting a new one.  But 
in trying to find anyone to REPAIR the current one, I learned that commercial 
appliance service firms do not/can not service commercial appliances on 
RESIDENTIAL sites, and that things like HOAs/townhouse communities/fraternities 
are considered residential.  Is that your experience too, or have you found 
commercial firms to service your commercial dishwasher?  If the challenge of 
servicing continues, we may go to buying TWO residential ones so we can get 
thru all the dish and pot cleaning in one round of dishwashing?

Any advice much much appreciated.
